- You’re here! You’ve already aced step one. My journey to where I am today involved: Working as an account manager / head of marketing for a publishing vendor, then for a strategic marketing agency – building connections and relationships Attending lots of events - taking a deep breath and introducing myself to people during coffee and lunch breaks Signing up for lots of discussion lists, and social media – listening, then participating, then leading Volunteering for committees, working groups, ed boards – KBART, UKSG, ASA, ALPSP, Learned Publishing, Insights, FORCE, Writing and presenting – putting forward submissions, accepting every invitation as a chance to practise if nothing else. Research Information is a great place to volunteer. UKSG always open to new webinar ideas. Every one of these things helped me learn lots from other people. And also build my personal brand. There is a chicken and egg element to this - at the earlier stages in your career, you have more time to get more involved - but often lack the confidence to do this, thinking you don’t have the authority, credibility, influence to do things like run industry working groups. But actually the nature of working groups is that (a) the main thing you need is time! other people will bring expertise (b) by dint of taking up the position, you suddenly have authority, credibility, influence - and then you keep it when you move on to other things.
- This is about confidence, and about self awareness. In terms of confidence: I did a course in Imposter Syndrome a couple of years ago. Very powerful experience. Sharing discussions and experiences with lots of other people, many of whom I already knew and greatly admired and respected. Validating to realise they struggled with some of the same feelings. Enabled me to move on from questioning whether I should feel that way, or why I felt that way – and focus instead on progressing past those feelings. Some of the key takeways that still resonate with me: Be authentic – figure out what you want to stand for – for me, grounded, kind, confident – a lot of stress is caused by feeling you are trying to be something you’re not; it is tiring and limiting, and undermines others' trust in ourselves, if we aren't authentic. There is a lot of comfort and strength to be taken from feeling you are being your authentic self. Don't subjugate your values and needs to those of others. I am enough. "Don't puff up, don't play small; stand in your holy ground" Have your own back. Treat yourself as you would a good friend – self-compassion, forgiveness. Separate self-awareness from self-judgement. Celebrate your own brilliance – Own and express your talents and abilities. Use strengths fully - communication skills, humour, relationship skills – think back on what you have achieved, what you are proud of - enables you to focus on the positives in others Get out of your own way. Have courage – tackle the things you fear, and you will feel more in control of them Proactively develop yourself to be the best you can be. Strengths: Talk to a career advisor, a mentor, family or friends, to get a rounded view of your skills and strengths, and to explore what makes you tick and ensure that your career plans are aligned with what you are good at and passionate about. Weaknesses, e.g. any issues with your communication style (do you come across as a scary lion?). Neuroplasticity - work on how you react to things so that you are your best self - productive, collegiate, etc. Discipline your inner child. RAIN Recognising Allowing Investigating - kindly curiosity into how behaviors manifest for me Nourish - treat myself with kindness Self awareness - don’t be a justification of anyone’s prejudices. Build your self-awareness - know where you lack confidence and need to work on new skills or prepare better for scenarios you find difficult. Understand the impact your own behaviour / communication style etc has, so that you can “become your best self”. Don’t diminish other women. Think proactively about your career and understand what it is you enjoy, what you want, and how to get there. Build your emotional intelligence - give yourself a better understanding of the people around you, and you will get a better understanding of how to progress. Learn about neuroplasticity. You can recalibrate how you react to things. You can change your instinctive responses away from fear or self-judgement or negative or critical reactions. You can become a positive influencer – which is a critical skill to career development. The coach I worked with described neuroplasticity as being like going to the gym – it’s hard work at first – having to actively control yourself, stop and think before you react and respond – but the more you work at it, the more natural it becomes. I am a different person today than I was 2 years ago, because I have practised and reconditioned myself – you can do it too.
- Brené Brown: "when perfectionism is driving us, shame is always riding shotgun and fear is the backseat driver” Get focused on what your priorities need to be. Change your thinking so that “being in control” means “choosing what you do”, not “doing everything”. As your career progresses, you will move further and further away from the point where you were on top of your to-do list and your inbox. You will have wider responsibilities, conflicting priorities, and a lot of things that never get done. And that’s OK. Your job will become about outcomes rather than outputs – about results rather than effort. For a while, this will feel uncomfortable – as you make the transition from one understanding of what makes you good at what you do, to a different way of evaluating yourself and your success. It’s a cliché but the best advice I can give you is to get comfortable being uncomfortable. Mindfulness and neuroplasticity – learn how to walk away at the end of the day, and get a good night’s sleep despite all the things left undone.
- Ultimately – you don’t have to do all this on your own. Be prepared to put your own time (and potentially money) into personal development - if you expect your employer to cover this, then your development is potentially constrained by their ability to generous with time and budget.
