STOP making these 6 rookie mistakes at work!!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you should stop 🛑 doing these things at work—because they could be holding you back or halting your career growth!

- Speaking up is important for making people confident that you can do your job effectively.

- Letting your work "speak" for itself is a myth that is told to us by older generations. In reality, if you want to be promoted, you need to advocate for yourself and be transparent in what you want.

- Gossiping with your coworkers is an easy way to be seen as unprofessional. Plus, if they're talking about other people, they're probably talking about you behind your back too....

- Ignoring office politics means that you are ignoring strategic ways to build your influence and create relationships at work—which is key for getting promoted.

- Never be scared of coworkers or higher ups. They're just people too!

- Managing up is KEY for earning your manager's trust.
