1 Know Yourself

Understanding your career goals is the foundation of advocating for them. Reflect on what you want to achieve, why it's important to you, and how it aligns with your values and skills. This self-awareness gives you the confidence to articulate your aspirations clearly. When you understand your own motivations, you can better explain why a particular goal or opportunity is right for you. This clarity will not only help you in formulating your requests but also in convincing others why they should support your career ambitions.

2 Set Boundaries

Establishing clear boundaries is crucial when advocating for your career goals. Determine what you are willing to accept in terms of job roles, responsibilities, and work-life balance. Communicate these boundaries assertively to colleagues and supervisors to ensure that your career path aligns with your personal values and goals. By doing so, you'll avoid overcommitting yourself or settling for less than what you aspire to achieve. Assertive boundary-setting shows that you value your time and goals, which can lead to increased respect from others.

What are the 7 types of boundaries? There are seven common types of boundaries, including physical, sexual, emotional/mental, spiritual, financial/material, time, and non-negotiable boundaries. Understanding these types can help you identify the specific boundaries you may need. Healthy Boundaries Being able to say, "no," and accept when someone else says "no". Being able to clearly communicate both wants and needs. Honoring and respecting their own needs and the needs of others. Respecting others' values, beliefs, and opinions, even if they are different from one's own. Setting boundaries are there for your own well-being. When you set these boundaries it makes it clear to everyone (whether at work or in your personal life).

3 Communicate Clearly

Effective communication is the cornerstone of assertiveness. When discussing your career goals, be direct yet respectful. Use "I" statements to express your desires, such as "I am interested in taking on more leadership responsibilities." This approach personalizes your message and reduces the likelihood of misunderstanding or defensiveness from others. Clear communication also involves active listening, which demonstrates respect for the other person's perspective and fosters a collaborative environment for achieving your career objectives.

O óbvio só é obvio pra quem fala. Para n?o corrermos o risco de algum ruído de comunica??o, é importante sermos claros na hora de passarmos a nossa mensagem. Alguns minutos para falar sobre algum assunto e tirar dúvidas, é melhor do que o custo do possível retrabalho que uma mensagem passada errada pode gerar.

4 Seek Feedback

Receiving feedback is an integral part of personal and professional growth. Request constructive criticism from peers and superiors to understand how others perceive your performance and potential. Approach feedback with an open mind and use it to refine your career goals and the strategies you employ to achieve them. Assertiveness in seeking feedback shows a commitment to continuous improvement and signals to others that you are proactive about your career development.

5 Negotiate Confidently

Negotiation is often necessary to advance your career. Whether it's for a promotion, salary increase, or new opportunities, approach negotiations with confidence and preparation. Clearly present the value you bring to the table and why your request is justified. Assertive negotiation involves both expressing your needs and being willing to listen and compromise where appropriate. By negotiating confidently, you demonstrate self-assuredness and a clear understanding of your worth in the workplace.

When I have wanted to gain a certification, but the budget was not there, I negotiated for time off to attend without using my PTO. I offered to pay for the cost of the course. Be willing to invest in yourself! Do your own research. Provide three options for training or development you want and need. Present the options, the pros and cons of each, including cost and location for cost of travel. Be willing to compromise!!

6 Build Alliances

Creating a network of allies can significantly boost your efforts to achieve your career goals. Identify colleagues and mentors who share similar values and can offer support, advice, or advocacy. Engage with them genuinely, offering your help in return, and communicate your career aspirations. Building alliances through assertive networking can open doors to opportunities that might otherwise be inaccessible and can provide a support system as you navigate your career path.

Me sinto muito privilegiada em ter iniciado a minha carreira com uma equipe muito experiente, que sorte a minha ter a oportunidade de aprender com esses professores. Encontrei além de profissionais, pessoas incríveis. Aprendi muito sobre resiliência, sobre espírito de equipe, controle emocional e etc... Em todas as trocas com cada um da equipe eu aprendia algo e hoje vejo como isso foi importante. Sempre que tenho a oportunidade tento ser como àqueles profissionais que encontrei lá atrás.
