Hi, my name is Katy Blommer and my passion is helping women learn how to put themselves first, I learned all the tools for success on my own 12 year journey that has led me to finally figuring out how to live my best life. My journey included overcoming body image issues, and yo yo dieting, climbing the corporate ladder to a multiple six figure career, navigating mom guilt through a 60 hour workweek turning around marriage issues, and much more. Now, I'm truly living my best life. And I've pretty much become obsessed with teaching others my tried and true methods for creating balance, maintaining healthy habits, improving your relationship, career development, and how to stop tying your value and worth, to the way you look and how you serve others. I'm so passionate about helping others learn this, that I created the working mom happiness method to help you get there too. So if you're ready to learn how to live your best life, pull up a chair or put on your walking shoes and get ready to dive in. This is the working mom happiness method podcast.
Hi, Okay, welcome to part four of career development, this will be the last part of career development. We'll wrap it up here. And I'm just going to jump in right where we left off. So in the last episode, we finished up with talking about leadership, we're now going to move into some tactics and strategy that I think are super helpful for career development. So the first one is, let's talk about being strategic. What does this mean, we hear this, we're given this and feedback, you need to be more strategic, you need to, you know, take it up a level and be able to see the bigger picture, right? We hear this feedback. And a lot of us are like, well, what is this mean? What does it mean to be strategic, so be like, essentially, it's actually quite simple in concept. I'm not saying it's easy to do, but it's actually quite simple in concept. Strategic, the word strategy came about in the military, for just having a plan, having a plan in place, because in the military, if you didn't have a strategy, meaning a very like buttoned up plan, you could die, right. So it's incredibly important. So that's kind of where the word started. So having a strategy just simply means having a plan. And so the way that we can translate that into any job, or really sort of anything you're doing, and what it means to be strategic, is just have a plan. So So pause, no matter what you're doing, and try to think through the next few steps of that thing that you're about to do. Because a lot of times we think about this as so big, like, like a strategy is so big, and we have to think about and it's going to have like all these layers and impacts and where do I even start but being strategic starts in your daily activities at work, for example, sending an email, you absolutely can be strategic in sending an email, and you can show that you're strategic via sending an email, you can also show that you're not strategic via sending an email. So this is really important. So really, what we want to think about to be strategic when we're sending an email is, what is the point that I want to get across? Who is my audience? And how much detail do they need? That's, that is a massive one. And, you know, how can I do it? In the most succinct, easy to understand, least time consuming way? And think about it as a chess game? Like, how many steps ahead? Can you think, what might the reaction be based on? You know what I'm saying here? And do I need to get ahead of that with anybody? Is there anybody I should reach out to and talk to before I send this email? Is there anybody who is going to cause a meltdown or is going to be offended or right? Like that is strategy. And it's hard. This is why strategy is hard. Because just simply busting out an email and winging it and sending it takes about, you know, three minutes, all the things I just said could turn that three minutes into 30 minutes, right? If especially if you need to reach out to somebody and give them a heads up and talk through it with them. And that sounds hard and daunting. It is usually worth it. Now, we can overanalyze and overthink, right? I'm not talking about over analysis, I'm genuinely talking about being thoughtful and having a plan for something as simple and day to day as sending an email but that's what being strategic is. It's thinking a few steps ahead. So if it's a meeting, dude, first question, hugely important. Could the meeting be an email? Because if the meeting can be an email and still be effective, please do it as an email and not a meeting right? Like we love that. That's amazing if it can be effective, you know, second question if it if it obviously can't be an email, who needs to be there are you and just inviting everybody because that's the easier than thing Getting through who really needs to be there, right? Who's your audience what level of detail they need a lot of the similar things to the to the email. But really, this is what being strategic is. And this is what will get you noticed is if you stop and think through some of these things, okay, so really, really great and important one on strategy. And I have a whole, like a whole hour talk I do on that. So there are so many layers and so many more recommendations that we don't have time for here in this episode, but it's, it's a big one. Okay. The one thing, and essentialism, these are books that I absolutely love. So they're two different books, The One Thing by Gary Keller, and oh, my gosh, I'm forgetting the author's name of essentialism. But I'm going to link them both. So you'll have them in the show notes. What this is all about is each day, only focusing on the most important thing, or it could be things but like, really, what the one thing teaches is just want like you pick the one most important thing that you need to get done in your work day. And make sure importance is like everyone would agree and be aligned, right? Your boss is aligned with what the most important thing is not just what you think, or what your brains drawn to so and then you, you want to do this thing as early on in the day as you possibly can, right? That's kind of that I'm really, really summarizing that at a high level. But if you check out these books, they're awesome. And so fit, getting really good at what is the most important thing in your day. And getting it out of the way first is huge. And there's another book that I love for this, it's called Eat That Frog. And it's called Eat That Frog, because he makes this analogy to eating a frog, like the hardest thing you have to do that day, it could be similar to eating a frog. And he talks about like procrastination, and you know, has a lot of good tips for that. But he talks about what is the hardest thing that you have to do in your day. And you get it done early, get it done first. So these are all like these books are, they're all very different books with different strategies, but they're all kind of rooted in like understanding what is the most important thing. And focusing on that and getting that done. And there have been you know, they talk about studies who have proven that have proven that when you do that, like just how much more effective you are, your company is all of that good stuff. So getting really good at that. And then we talked about, you know, energy a couple episodes ago, but then there's the whole episode I have protect your energy, a ways back in the program. And if you can figure out what your most energetic most productive time of the day is. And you can put that one most important thing there where it's most likely to get done and get done thoughtfully and well. Wow, game changer in your career development. So that's huge, really make sure that like, take this seriously, pay attention don't make, don't just be going on autopilot. Learn yourself your best times of the day, what's most important and place it there. Okay, break everything down into the next action. We talked about this way back and goal setting. And we're going to do it in scheduling when we get to the scheduling portion of the program, creating your schedule. So when you have a goal in mind, it might be a you know, a personal goal, a work goal. Right now we're talking about career development. So if you think about something that has to get done, what is the next action? And I like to say what is the next shot action that can be done in 10 to 15 minutes now? No, maybe your next action is to hold a meeting and it can't be done. But scheduling that meeting could be done in 10 Min, 10 minutes. So I like to break them down into chunks like that. And you could think about this as traditional project management. These are tasks. But really, if you have something that's daunting, right, we talked about taking messy action in the last episode, take messy action, go there and pick what is the next 10 minute thing that I can get done on this or that needs to happen and block some time for it and do it just start starting is huge. So break everything down into the next action and go do that next action. It is a complete game changer. Time blocking is huge. I think we've all heard of time blocking, right. But the the one thing that book The one thing or there's the 12 week year that I love, they really break time blocking down into I mean, just like so strategic like whole systems for time blocking and how that works. And I think when the magic happens when you have boundaries, right, which we talked about boundaries, one of the most important things for career development, you have boundaries so you're having you're not feeling like work is taking over your whole day every day. And you're blocking time accordingly. So we're talking about blocking time in your personal life blocking time in your work life, right. It's all one life. I know broken record, but that's so important. So you've got the boundaries, you're blocking the time but then you're the magic happens when you combine the boundaries, the time blocking and you're own energy. And when you get hard things done the best based on your energy. And if you can block your time in that way, life changing, career changing, game changing, I get so excited about it, like, just, it's amazing. It's huge. If you want more help with that message me because I love talking about this stuff. And I know it's easier said than done. But like, Please take it seriously because it will change your life. Okay, personal development. We think about career development, right? And personal development is obviously like it's a component of career development. Most of us think about it as like when we think about personal development as it relates to career development. We think about it like certifications, like learning the next Excel thing or getting like a specific Compliance Certification or, you know, I could rattle off a bunch of different things that we think about it more classically with career development, but and those are all fine and good. They're not the things that are game changers, though. I mean, I'm not saying don't do them, but the game changer is when you really dive into like, self help type personal development. And I think people you know, some of you may have just cringed when I said that, but like, when you can set aside
a few minutes a day to work on just personal development, self help type things. And the most, the classic way to do this is a book like personal development reading. And this is part of the morning routine. So if you read the morning routine, or if you listen to the morning routine episode, you'll know personal development, reading is a critical part of that. Because when you when you are doing personal development, personal development, for a few minutes a day, you will be shocked at how many personal development books you can get through in the year. And starting your day off like that, even if you do it at lunch, even if you don't do it in the morning. Like you you have your book at lunch and you and you do it for five minutes on your lunch hour or before bed, whatever. The way that it sets up your brain to spiral positively and the way you start to progress in life is it's just it really is mind boggling and mind blowing. And, you know, if you want to start it more in the workspace, any of the books that I've linked in this episode are perfect for that beautiful for that the one thing essentialism Eat That Frog, the 12 week year, start those on your personal development and just read a little little chunk and here's the thing on personal development, I said this in the morning routine, I'll say it again. If you're so bored, that your eyes are glazing over with the personal development book you've chosen, scratch it, scrap it, get a new one, get rid of it, scrap it, don't fall into like the sunk cost fallacy. Get rid of it, get a new one that excites you. These ones all were fun and everyone has a different idea of fun right but like Eat That Frog it's cheesy written. It's a quick read. And it really did like motivate me to figure out what is the hardest thing in my day and get that done first it was actually changed changed my life honestly. Um, and so personal development reading in the form of like self help, and they don't even need to be career related books. These ones that I just rattled off are but even like, oh my gosh, Untamed by Glennon Doyle, massive, amazing personal development book that you wouldn't think has anything to do with your career. But remember, it's all one life, what you develop in your personal life absolutely impacts your work life and vice versa. And yeah, just I can't say I'm like rambling a bit. Now I get it. But it's because I'm so incredibly passionate about this for changing your life. And I used to roll my eyes at this stuff. Like I used to think self help was woowoo and silly. And then it changed my freakin life. I was like, Oh, this stuff really does work. It's because it's not woowoo It's not magic. It's the way the brain works. I say that a lot. But it it truly is like the way that our brain works. And it's setting your brain up for success. It's it's going to put your brain in a state where you're more likely to take actions towards your best life when you do this stuff. Okay. Okay. Next thing for tactics and strategy and career development is focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses. And Strength Finders really, really pushes this. So if you haven't done Strength Finders, it certainly is worth it to find out what your main strength areas are. And then that's where you spend your time. That's where you focus your time and effort is on your strengths, not your weaknesses. Now, obviously, if you have a weakness that's really getting you into trouble and holding you back that you've gotten feedback on, you got to work on that. Like I'm not saying don't work on your weaknesses at all. I'm saying putting more energy into your strengths is going to give you like a bigger bang for your buck energy wise, like you're going to get more out of that and you're going to go further than putting more energy on your weaknesses than your strengths. Okay, and go check out Strength Finders, if you haven't heard of this. It's awesome. You can read the book and take the survey. Take risks fail fast and pivot. Messy action. We talked about this in the Last episode, have the courage to take the risks that will allow you to learn. The only way that we learn really as humans is by is through is through failure. I mean, that's, I guess, I guess that's a big statement. Obviously, we can learn through reading books, we can learn through taking courses we can learn without failing. But the way that we really, really progress on the things that are important, and the things that matter, and the things that will create our best life is by taking the risks to go with something that is different than the societal norm different with the corporate and then the corporate norm, like putting ourselves out there, falling on our face a few times, but not giving up and not quitting because we fell on our face learning from it, getting more courage out of it and doing it again, right, that's where the magic happens. So and I, I've said it a bunch of times, I'll say it again, I think where this starts, like the baby step into this, and it's not a baby step, it's scary is when you start feeling all sweaty and adrenaline II in a meeting, ask the thing, do the thing that's making you sweat the scary thing, put yourself in that position, because that's where you're going to get noticed, be seen and learn the most? No, you're odd audience and act accordingly. We talked about this, just a minute ago, when I was talking about you know, what is being strategic, but I cannot stress this enough. If you're going to go into a presentation or a meeting with somebody do as much homework as you can beforehand. Even if it's just like five to 10 minutes of like googling the personal and corporate world who wouldn't Google the person in corporate world, you would find a connection you have that knows this person, and you would maybe do like some instant messaging with them, or a quick five minute meeting with them about what they like and what they don't like. It can go such a long way in your own confidence going into the meeting that's going to make you come across differently. But then you're going to avoid obvious mistakes that you don't want to make in front of that person. Whether they're a detailed person or a high level person, whether they're super busy that day, like all these things matter. As it relates to knowing your audience and preparing accordingly. It's huge. Learning how to be as succinct as possible, both verbally and in writing for when it's necessary. And funny that I'm talking about being as succinct verbally as possible. When I'm in the fourth part of this this topic, right? I am definitely a talker. So this is something that I continue to work on is being verbally succinct. And in in writing. So if there's an area where you could invest, you know, some time and energy, like you're prioritizing things, I would say, working on being more succinct is huge in as it relates to career development. Because typically, the folks that you're trying to get noticed by for career development are very busy and constantly in meetings. And if you're talking about things they don't care about, or a level of detail, that doesn't matter, you can lose them, you can lose their attention pretty quickly. And so you got to be strategic, like we talked about before and know what are the key points I'm trying to get across? And how can I do that as succinctly as possible. Always strive to work smarter, not harder or longer. We've heard this before, work smarter, not harder. Easier said than done. hugely, hugely important for you living your best life and career development, living your best life leads to career development. I mean, I know I stated that like way back in part one of these last four episodes, that everything that we're learning here in this program is career development, because your personal life and your work life or one life and they absolutely impact each other and the happier you are in your personal life, the better you're going to do at work like no, just hands down, like absolutely, it's a fact. There's no arguing it, it's it is absolutely a thing. And having these boundaries where you learn how to work smarter and not harder and set your boundaries and not working around the clock is a huge part of that happiness factor that is going to lead to your career development. And this is slightly controversial as well if you can't tell I kind of like to be controversial because I feel like it leads to magic. I've been coaching a few people at work lately who are over achieving perfectionist people pleasers, just like I was so I like to call myself a recovering people pleaser because I still have my moments but I've made a lot of progress. But I know how this feels and I've been coaching a couple of people. And when when I'm coaching folks who are on that side of the spectrum, which most of the people who come to me are because it leads to being feeling not great in life. When you're an overachieving perfectionist people pleaser. It is not living your best life. That's why they're drawn to me. And this this program this work. It is pretty safe to coach people who who are on that side of the spectrum to just do worse It makes them very, very uncomfortable. This idea of doing worse, right for an achiever for an overachieving people pleasing perfectionist, telling them to do worse is terrifying. It's terrifying and so we talk through it and I caveat it and I, you know, I would only do it with people who I absolutely trust aren't going to take advantage of this and like then suck at their jobs as a result, right? We talk about the fact that I will create a safe space for them to do that I will protect their their brand while they're learning. What does that look like? Where can I do worse? That will make me do better in the long run? Like, what things can I let take longer? What things aren't that critical? What things can I delegate How can I work fewer hours? How can I just in my in, you know in a people pleaser, overachievers, perfectionist mind,
do doing worse will probably get them to the level where lots of other people are just performing and thinking they're doing great. Right? So like, so like, what areas can I do worse, to make my life better. And then what happens is when you deliberately try to do worse in those areas, meaning like don't work as many hours, don't do all the things, Delegate all the all that good stuff. The improvement you get in your overall life actually helps you to like do better and your career. It's really, really amazing how it works. But it's always terrifying in the beginning, and some of those folks are probably going to be listening to this and laughing because I have so many conversations about how scary it is to do worse. But that's, that's my whole thing with going back after burnout. Going back to my corporate job after burnout, like my whole goal is to do worse, like do it. Now, I have to caveat that because it sounds really bad, right? Like, quiet, quitting is a little different than what I'm talking about. And I'm not saying quiet, quitting is a bad thing. When I left my corporate job from burnout to recover from burnout, I was coming off of top ratings for year over year after year, year over year, and I was working 70 hour 80 hour weeks on a regular basis. And my whole life was work like I was not. And keep in mind. You know, I've said it before. And I'll say it again. Amex is a great company that Amex was not forcing me to do this, it was my mindset and not and not being brave enough yet. I hadn't yet I've been on a journey. And I've made a lot of improvements, but I wasn't had an unreal, you and unraveled my value and worth from my performance at work enough yet. To not I wasn't a very demanding role. And it was a very demanding time. And so it was, you know, sort of, like easy to be working. Well, it was hard, but it was like it, it was conducive to be working that many hours. But I know that if I would have have already unraveled raveled my value and worth I would have said no and it would have felt different, they wouldn't have gone into burnout. This is why you don't have to leave your job to recover from burnout. Like you can do it. While staying in your job. It just takes a lot of courage in these ways that I have been talking about. But my my whole goal was to do worse, and by do worse, what I meant was I know I no longer striving for the top ratings, because to me, it's more important to live my best life and being being an effective leader is really important to me. But when we're working around the clock, we can't be the best leader we can, we can't be our best selves as a leader when we're working around the clock and exhausted and not seeing our family. And you know, there's no balance whatsoever. So my goal coming back was to have those boundaries. Work, you know, literally about half the hours that I was working before, not strive for the top ratings, but obviously, I care about quality of my work. I very much care about leading my team. I'm super passionate about that. But I am continuously trying to do worse than what I was in burnout. And that do worse is what I need. Because I was so far on the extreme end of people pleasing and perfectionism and achieving that I literally need to tell myself, it's okay to do worse. It's okay to do worse, it's okay to upset, disappoint or inconvenience somebody I care about if my intention is to protect my own health. Okay, and that's one of my most important favorite statements. And that to me is this concept of do worse, it's okay to do worse, you're not going to get fired for doing worse, you can still be a good performer from doing worse, and it is going to make your life better and it's going to make you better at your job by doing a little worse. And if you don't like that term, if it's too scary, you can say work smarter, not harder. But I think for for those of us who are way over on that spectrum, we have to tell ourselves, it's okay to do worse. It's okay. So hopefully that makes sense. Hopefully, you know, maybe that resonated with you, but I think that's a really, really important one. And then the way that I like to wrap up the Career Development topic is by talking about how relationships are everything and relationships aren't the number one most important thing a lot of people will tell you they are for career development. And they are way up there at the top of the list. But I just want to reiterate as we close out where I started, as a woman, the most important things for your career development. Regardless of everything I've said, I've said so much in these last four episodes, our body image, okay, if you if you hate or strongly dislike or fixated on changing the way your body looks, it is very, very difficult to develop your career in the way that you want it to. Because it is very difficult to have confidence if when you hate your body, or when you strongly dislike your body. Number two boundaries. Number three, the the five healthy, non negotiables, water sleep, body movement, getting the right nutrition in your body, and stress management, and then relationships. That's the order I believe that it goes in. So let's talk about the relationship piece of it for a minute. Relationships are how people get jobs. I mean, I mean, it's not 100% of the time, but the vast majority of the time, it's because of human nature, it's not nepotism I really don't think it is. I mean, nepotism is a thing. And it exists, whatever. But the way human brains work is that we are just much more likely to hire somebody, if we know somebody who knows them. Or if we know them, right, it's just it's just a lot easier to trust when either you know, and trust that person already from experience you've had with them or somebody you know, and trust, knows and trust, even if there's more degrees of separation, like that person is still more likely to like get an interview than somebody who has no connection, right? I'm not saying it's not possible to get a job. If you have no connection, I'm really not, I still want you to try for those jobs. And, you know, Haila, we talked about high low my favorite philosophy in the letting go of control episode, high intention, low attachment, right? Do that do things with the highest and best of intentions and have low attachment to the outcome. Because after you've done your best, you have no control over the outcome, what will happen will happen. But part of career development in high Hyla is building relationships. So when that promotion opportunity does come your way, because remember, you're not trying for it, you're not clinging to it, you don't have desperation, energy, you want it it's a goal of yours. So you're doing high law, high intention, low attachment, and you're building those relationships and networking, right? This that's the buzzword that everybody calls us networking, really, really is important. And it really does work. I can remember my first way back when I was you know, early on early 20s. That my my first VP leader who told me I needed to just start networking, and he introduced me to the most senior person in the Salt Lake City office at that time, and I just thought it was the dumbest, most awkward thing that he was like, just wanting me to go meet with her. Like, I was like, doesn't isn't that like, butt kissing? Isn't that like, I mean, that's just weird. Like, I don't know her. I don't have any reason to work with her. Like, I really was just so turned off by the whole idea. Because I thought it seemed I guess fake is how I thought it seemed like I thought it was so weird. But I hadn't, you know, I was young and I was just entering the corporate world. He was like, no, no, no, no. And he told me that she's like, it's so important to have these connections. And she's great. And she's going to love you. And she's, you know, just this fabulous, you know, woman leader mentor for you. And I said, Okay, you know, I'll do it, because I trust you. And but I'm Phil Walker about it. So he and he gave me great advice. He said, Just go and just be yourself. You know, think of a couple of things, maybe you're wondering that you want to ask her but just be you. And I did. And she was wonderful. She, she couldn't have been just more warm and welcoming. And you know, we we that started a relationship that we had, and she did help me and she doesn't work for the company anymore. But I was just so grateful and glad to have that relationship. And this is really how it works. So if you're afraid to do this, or you feel like it feels fake, or like, you know, brown nosing, or butt kissing, or whatever you want to call it. Some people do it in that way. If you're going to do it in that way, don't do it because it won't work. That's what I want to talk about is just how important this is to just be genuine and authentic when you're networking and building relationships. And don't start the connection with like, the first time you connect with somebody because you need something from them. Okay? That's really, really incredibly important. You, you want to start a relationship, just because you're interested in that person just because you want to get to know them better. Or maybe you want to understand how their department works or what their role is. These are all fine. building these relationships before you need the person is where it's at. And you're like, Well then how do I know who to build relationships with if I don't, I have no idea who I'm going to need. That's the beauty of it. Because that just means you just build relationships just for the sake of building relationships because you don't ever need to you don't know who you're ever going to need right so you got Make it about just genuinely being interested in people and getting to know people. And then it's not going to come across as you know, butt kissing or brown nosing or awkward or that sort of thing. And by the way, you don't have to be an extrovert to do this. You can absolutely be an introvert and do this, it might feel a little bit more uncomfortable for you, but just do it in one on one settings. You can, you know, like, you can practice this you can look up like different icebreaker questions, that sort of thing. You can message me, I'll help you.
Just watercooler talk, like start with watercooler talk, just ask people how their weekend was ask them how their day was asked them how their family is doing. Small talk is critical. And for a lot of us who are achievers we don't like to do because we just like to get in, get out, get it done. Because we're busy, I highly encourage you if this is not a skill of yours, to make it a skill of yours, because you're going to get to know wonderful people, you're going to have connections and it will help with your career development, the more connections you have, the more likely you are to know somebody who knows a hiring leader down the path. And that's just sort of the beauty of like making it just simply about the relationships and getting to know people is it comes across as genuine and authentic, because it is because you never know you might never need that help that person, which means there's no manipulation going on, it just is absolutely genuine, but it has to be that way in order for it to to help with the career development. Okay, so absolutely, just focus on relationships, when and where you can, and spending time and getting to know people in, you know, ways that can relate to work, but personally as well, because it is all one life. And you know, that's how we connect with folks. So really, really huge and important. So I we're hitting 30 minutes now, I'm going to leave you with that. And just a reminder that I have started running my group coaching program in companies. So this is where companies pay for their working mom employees to take the program. And it's such a great diversity, equity and inclusion program. You know, with a great resignation working moms were the biggest group impacted by far because you're trying to juggle it all. So many of us are overwhelmed and exhausted with all the things and this program is just all about helping that. So if you think your company might be interested in running it, or if you are a decision maker at a company, just please reach out to me and let me know or connect me with the folks who might be interested because I'm really, really excited about helping in that space. So All right, thanks for listening, and I'll talk to you in the next one. Thanks so much for listening to the working mom happiness method.
