FROM THE GUIDE / Start here

Choose the rule you leaned on most this week. Use its replacement once in a real conversation.

01 / RECOGNIZE

“The work should speak for itself.”

Check: can the people deciding your next role describe your recent contribution? Try: “We cut the review time by a day; here’s what changed.” Use a result you can support and credit the people involved.

02 / RESPOND

“I don’t get involved in politics.”

Check: have you asked what matters to someone whose support you need? Try: “What would make this proposal useful for your team?” Listen before explaining your position.

03 / FOLLOW THROUGH

“Visibility feels like bragging.”

Check: did your last update include the value of the work? Try: “The new checklist caught two errors before launch.” State a factual contribution without ranking yourself against anyone.
