It’s easy to think that climbing to the top is all about putting in the hours. Sure, putting in hard work matters, but the real secret of the top 1%?

They’ve mastered the art of working smart, not just hard.

Many professionals dream about success and think it’s something they deserve. But what they often miss is that success is about making big moves that key internal decision-makers actually care about. This is the real game changer.

Imagine this: instead of doubling your workload, you cut it in half. Yet, you still end up achieving more.

How?

By focusing only on what truly moves the needle.

By identifying what your boss and senior leaders in your organization actually care about (and delivering results on that basis), you can zoom past obstacles that hold others back.

Let’s streamline your path to success. Remember, it’s about smart moves, not just hard pushes.

You’ve got this!

🌟 Community news

  • 📣 Big things are coming: This year, I've received more messages than I can count to bring in-person events to life for our community. Many have asked for IRL workshops, meetups, industry expert fireside chats and networking opportunities. I would love to ask: my team and I are deciding which city to host our first in-person event of 2025 in the U.S and we want YOUR input 👇

💡 Top finds of the week

  • 🍿 Watch this: In this short clip, Marc Randolph, co-founder and former CEO of Netflix, explains why hard work doesn't necessarily guarantee success. Instead, he shares what does.

  • 💡 See this: Perspective is everything. You may feel that you're stuck in a rut and going around in circles. But the key is to shift your mindset towards identifying how you can keep learning, growing and upleveling yourself to unlock higher levels of potential.

🎉 Client case study of the week

The Context: After landing her new role through my ​Career Success Fast Track™​ membership, my client wanted to be set up for success as a first-time people manager. The company she entered was also less structured than what she was used to before and there were several opportunities she wanted to action.

The Success: Within just a few short months in her new role, she's received direct recognition and accolades from her company President and executive team in how she's been managing her team and showing up in strategic meetings. The cherry on top? They've been so impressed with her that they agreed to pay for her membership with us, given the results she's achieved so quickly for her and her team.

The Strategy: We started by auditing the current status of her team, which team members needed more hands-on support and where she can best delegate to focus on strategic priorities. We also identified where more structure was needed in improving processes, communication and efficiencies. This allowed her to focus on what actually mattered instead of distractions and non-value added work. Through this, she was well prepared for meetings with her executives and able to articulate her results with impact. We also polished her public speaking skills to deliver messages in these meetings to maximize buy-in, while elevating her leadership and influence. 🙌
