Ep 289: Career Advancement Beyond Performance with Jewel Love

Elzie and Jewel Love discusses the importance of pushing systemic racism aside and focusing on individual actions to improve career advancement. They highlighted that job performance is only a part of building a successful career strategy, but it’s still important to do well in order to advance.

Jewel also encourages running an internal marketing campaign for key decision makers within the organization to be aware of accomplishments and value brought by individuals. Tune in to hear suggestions about running an internal marketing campaign, as well as networking outside one's own organization. With these tips and strategies, you can advance your career in meaningful ways that go beyond just performance.

Episode Highlights

01:02 - A job is only a part. It's about a third of your career strategy. It's only a piece of the puzzle and that's table stakes. It's baseline. You have to do your job well to advance. So, that's across the board. Unless you really got a strong nepotism and a strong network going, you can get to all kinds of places unmerited. It happens all the time. So, don't think that you have to be doing this great job to get an advance. You don't. To be plugged into networks is the most powerful way to get ahead, career-wise.
