Career success takes a status boost, not a power grab.How do you chart the career course you've always imagined? According to Alison Fragale, it's about gaining influence through status, power, and ultimately, being “a likeable badass.”As a research psychologist, professor, speaker, and author, Fragale is on a mission to help women take control of their careers. In her book Likeable Badass: How Women Get the Success They Deserve, she argues that most people have it backwards when pursuing career advancement. "We have talked for a long time [about] getting more power," she explains. However, by focusing first on achieving status (how respected we are), power will often come as a natural byproduct. "If you pursue status before, or at least alongside power, everything is going to fall into place," she says. “Status makes power a lot easier to achieve, and it makes power a lot easier to use.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, hosted by executive producer Jenny Luna, Fragale explores the communication strategies of a likeable badass, from building warmth and assertiveness to authentically connecting with colleagues. Whether you're building relationships in a new company or have been leading one for years, Fragale's insights will help you command respect while communicating with kindness.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premiumEpisode Reference Links:Alison FragaleAlison's Book: Likeable BadassJenny LunaEp.12 It's Not What You Say, It's How You Say It: How To Communicate PowerEp.15 The Art of Negotiation: How to Get More of What You Want  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:21) - Defining Power and Status (05:26) - Why Status Comes Before Power (06:19) - Communication Techniques to Build Status (09:27) - Evaluating Your Habits: Nonverbal and Verbal Cues (11:21) - Mentorship in Developing Communication (13:13) - Adapting to a New Work Culture (18:41) - Representing Difference Without Distance (19:49) - Overcoming Bad First Impressions (21:47) - The Final Three Question (25:32) - Conclusion    *****This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

A new survey from Hays Ireland reveals that 65% of Irish employees frequently experience imposter syndrome - the feeling of self-doubt about their expertise or suitability for their job. Notably, over half of those respondents are millennials and Generation X employees, indicating that even more seasoned professionals are also experiencing it. Meanwhile, 35% of employees report never having experienced imposter syndrome. With recent graduates and career changers, many new employees bring fresh perspectives, but may struggle with confidence due to limited professional experience. Imposter syndrome is not confined to one demographic - it spans industries, ages, and job levels. Job market shifts Employee mobility remains a key trend, with almost half of Irish employees (49%) planning to change organisations in the next six months, showing a slight increase from 45% in 2024. Among employees aged 40 to 50 years plus, 24% plan to change into a new role, driven primarily by salary concerns and a perceived lack of future career opportunities. In the past six months, 20% of employees have already switched jobs. Of those, almost half of respondents are aged between 40 to 50 years plus. This suggests that mid-to-late career professionals are increasingly open to making career moves, challenging the traditional notion of job stability at this stage in life. Hybrid dynamics Hybrid work continues to shape workplace dynamics, with employees offering mixed opinions on its long-term impact. While 53% report no change in their career development due to hybrid working, millennials are the most optimistic, with 30% stating it has positively influenced their career progression and upskilling opportunities. In contrast, only 5% of millennial employees believe hybrid work has negatively affected their careers. For employees aged 50+, only 18% say hybrid work has had no impact - whether positive or negative. Despite different views on career impact, productivity remains a strong argument for flexible work models, as 81% of employees report efficiency when working from home. Resistance to returning to the office is also notable. More than half (52%) of employees say they would consider leaving their job if forced to return to the office full-time. Millennials and Generation X workers are the most likely to express this sentiment, reinforcing the demand for continued workplace flexibility. AI slow and steady integration The integration of AI tools is becoming increasingly common, with 33% of employees reporting the usage of AI in their roles. A significant 67% of employees have yet to incorporate AI into their daily work, and 83% report receiving no training or support from their organisations to help them adopt AI effectively. Despite this, there is strong interest in upskilling, with employees expressing a desire to learn how AI can enhance their roles. Managing Director of Hays Ireland, Maureen Lynch, says: "As we navigate a period of global uncertainty, the Irish workforce is at a pivotal moment, reflecting both local and international trends. Challenges such as imposter syndrome are increasingly common, yet they also represent a workforce that is ambitious and eager to grow. To guide employees through self-doubt and unlock their full potential, organisations must foster a supportive environment - one that prioritises open communications and offers practical resources like mentorship and coaching to help professionals thrive. "Career mobility is an emerging trend that presents new opportunities. For employers, this is a chance to engage and retain talent by investing in meaningful career progressions and skills development. Ireland has long been a hub of adaptability and resilience, and with the right talent, both employers and employees can transform challenges into opportunities for long-term success."

Our words, actions and even our presence can profoundly affect other people, but we often misread the situation or underestimate ourselves. Emotions and cognitive biases often get in the way.Through extensive behavioral research and workplace study, Vanessa Bohns — the Cornell ILR School's Braunstein Family Professor and chair of the organizational behavior department — has developed strategies for us to better observe our influence, reconsider our fear of rejection and sometimes even use our influence more sparingly. Bohns, the author of “You Have More Influence Than You Think,” encourages us to recognize the influence we already possess rather than seeking new ways to gain it.What You'll LearnHow to be more mindful and present in your interactions with othersHow to get better at asking for thingsHow to get better at saying noHow to recognize and harness our influence for good by building stronger relationships and creating more supportive environmentsThe Cornell Keynotes podcast is brought to you by eCornell, which offers more than 200 online certificate programs to help professionals advance their careers and organizations.

Send us a textWelcome to Season 6 "Cultivating a Trust Mindset" series of The WEBB Remedy Podcast.  Meet "The WEBB Remedy" hosts:Stephanie Terry, Executive Director and Co-Founder of WEBB SquaredRinnie Orr, Associate Director and Co-Founder of WEBB SquaredAt WEBB Squared, we've made “trust” the focal point of our theme this year: "With Trust, We Bridge the Gap; With Equity, We Move Forward." It's a simple statement, but trust is not always as straightforward as it sounds. When it comes to building businesses, particularly for Black and Brown entrepreneurs, trust plays a pivotal role in overcoming systemic barriers — the kind that have been shaped by history, policy, and culture.This season we share several conversations on trust. Trust is a mindset - and contrary to what people believe - trust is not some soft, elusive quality that you either have or you don't.  Trust - though it is easily destroyed, it can be built -it can be restored, and when that happens, not only do your relationships grow, so do opportunities and efficiency in terms of business. Trust is a tangible, actionable asset that you can create.  Today's conversation examines:research on trust, chemistry, and science through the study by Paul Zak in the Harvard Business Review The Neuroscience of Trust.  key behaviors that create trust in our workplaces and businesses and how these behaviors influence performance, create bonds, and strengthen relationships.Support the showThank you for listening....
