- As a working woman, you've got to know how to hustle.
And our next guest wants advice on just that.
Please welcome Shannon.
- Hey there Shannon.
(audience applauds)
Welcome to Face Your Truth.
- Tell us what's goin' on with you, girlfriend.
- So I would love your advice of,
when in the workplace and you're asking your manager
or your boss for a promotion or maybe a raise,
of what's the best way to go about doing that
without sounding too pushy or bossy?
I've worked in several different jobs
and I've noticed my co-workers,
some who started later than me,
really excelling past me,
and I'm not quite sure what it is that's different.
- You've gotta sell yourself first.
Here's what I've accomplished, this is where's I'm at,
this is what I think I've done for you,
and just be, don't be afraid to ask, either.
- And also, really focus on the value
that you're adding to your company
and use concrete goals that you've met,
to help the company's objective.
So, the more that you can stick to facts
and practice that before you approach your manager,
the more confident you will be
and not feel like you're being bossy.
- The best way that I think that I've become successful
is that I'm not a hater, I'm a congratulator.
You know, I always make sure that,
I watch what others are doing to be successful.
Am I working hard enough?
Am I showing up with an attitude of gratitude?
Am I doing sometimes more than what I should?
For you to get ahead in life and if you want success,
you've got to go get it.
But attack intelligently,
as my daddy used to tell me, okay?
All right.
- And we want to help you, so we've reached out
to career coach Gretchen Hydo.
She's going to provide you with nine coaching sessions
and three months of weekly accountability calls,
to help you get your career on track.
- So besides talking to the Troop team,
we've got somebody that's gonna make sure
that you reach those milestones
and that you are as successful as you can be,
and we wish you the best, okay?
- Thank you so much.
I really appreciate it.
- Thank you so much for having the courage
to face the truth.
