Talk Up Your Work to Get Ahead

Dr. Daniel McKorley leads a big company and helps people understand how to grow in their jobs. He wants young professionals to know something important about sharing their work. Most people believe their hard work will automatically make them successful. However, McKorley says this thinking no longer works.

People need to talk about their achievements and show others what they can do. McKorley suggests finding a good balance between doing great work and helping people notice your efforts. He explains that simply working hard is not enough. You must also help others understand how awesome your work is.

After spending many years building businesses and leading teams, McKorley learned something interesting. He noticed that people who talk a lot about working do not always do the best job. Top performers often focus more on doing excellent work than talking about it. They spend time creating amazing results instead of posting about their hours.

McKorley encourages professionals to share their successes without bragging. He understands some people feel uncomfortable talking about their work. However, he believes sharing your achievements helps you move forward in your career. By being honest and showing what you can do, you open doors to new opportunities and help people recognize your talents.
