RE: How to Practice Authentic Self Promotion
Still in training. Going to just listen observe and learn until I'm out. Then I've got to work harder than all of them and align myself with the manager faction by listening to them and findibg out how to make their lives easier. Once I've had a moment of truth or two I'm going to tell my superiors I want a promotion to trainer. If I get there, I'll be able to train and lead by example. The managers will notice and the staff will respect me.
I've done it before. I've also failed at it before. But talking to yoy about this helped.
That sounds like a good plan. May I ask what field you're in?
I'm in the restaurant and hospitality industry. A new concept has opened a couple of months ago in a ritzy area. I'm the "rock star" the store manager has brought in to help him bring it up to speed and communicate with directly. My title currently gives me authority over nothing.
I'm in Houston and the standards here are very high. The competition is very high.
Oh, yes, Houston. I know the area well. Well, I know you know what to do. Very stressful, I can imagine, but if it's worth it, rock it!
