We tend to picture negotiations happening in boardrooms, but the real opportunities? They show up in hallways, at the end of meetings, in the quiet moments when you're not quite ready but should be. If you're not clear on what you want or how to ask for it, those moments pass. And when they do, someone else's name gets mentioned instead of yours.In this episode, I'm talking about how clarity creates opportunity and why casual conversations often shape the biggest decisions. It's not about having a script. It's about having the presence of mind to plant a seed. The hallway is the new boardroom, and it's time you start treating it like one.In this episode, I'll cover:How to clarify what you want before the opportunity shows upWhy informal moments often shape career-changing decisionsHow to speak with confidence when you only have a few seconds_____________________
You can only pursue what you want, with full faith that if you don't get it then you got something better instead (that you weren't aware of).

Are you sitting there thinking, “Once I finally get that promotion... once I hit six figures... once I finish this certification... then I'll stop doubting myself?” If so, I want to offer something that might surprise you. That self-doubt, it doesn't go away. Not at the next level, and not after the next milestone. In fact, the more successful you become, the sneakier self-doubt gets. It often sounds like, 'Who am I to be doing this? What if I mess this up, or I should have this figured out by now?' Does this sound familiar? If so, you're not alone. I've seen this pattern in almost every high-performing client I've worked with, especially accountants, CPAs, and high-stress professionals who are constantly balancing perfection, performance, and pressure.
