### Segment 1 (00:00 - 05:00) []

Every company has top performers. People who get promoted more, people who get access to more opportunity, and people who stand out without working 10 times harder. And the secret is they're not more talented necessarily, but they do a few things that other people don't that allow them to stand out. In today's video, I'm going to tell you what those things are so you can try to implement some of those and grow faster in your career. Let's go. Now, a huge key is they focus on visibility and not just effort. So people who achieve more, get promoted more, have access to more opportunity, they are absolutely going to work hard. But a big difference between your average person and them is they're going to make sure that they're also being intentional about the visibility when it comes to their hard work. So what does that mean? It means they communicate their work, they highlight their progress, and they also make sure that they tie what they're doing to business impact and making sure that their boss and others in influential positions understand that. And the key here is that you can work really, really hard, but if people don't understand what you're doing, they don't know what you're doing, and they don't know how that contributes to organizational goals, that work can be a bit in vain. But if someone really does a good job of communicating the value they are bringing and how it is tied to organizational goals, that's going to be entirely different and it's going to propel you in your career. Now, one of the most powerful things you can do is you can solve problems before you are asked. Now top performers they're looking at inefficiencies they're looking at bottlenecks and they're looking at problems and they're looking to solve these things before they are asked to do it. The reality is every single organization, every single team has problems. What are your team's problems? Now what are you doing to solve those problems? And people who go out of their way, identify problems and bring solutions to their boss are going to accelerate their career growth in a very significant manner because most people are not doing this. Most people their career it's very reactive. They're asked to do something, they do that thing and they hope that means they are going to grow. But it will give you an incredible uh level up if you're able to identify problems ahead of time, work in the solutions, and then bring solutions to problems you haven't even been asked to resolve. And it's not just about the problems you're solving. Sure, that is very helpful, but it's about what it signals to your boss. It signals ownership. It signals ingenuity. And it signals that you're a future leader. And the reality is those things are just really important. When your leader thinks about you, you want them to tie those types of initiatives, behaviors, and thoughts to who you are as a person within their team. Another key is they understand what actually matters. The truth is not all work is created equal. Think about your job. Think about your tasks over the next week. There is a lot of things you are probably responsible for. Not all of those things provide the same amount of value to the team, to your manager, to the organization. Well, top performers, people who get promoted, they're focusing on what actually matters. They think, "What does my manager actually care about? " And then they prioritize that. Now, here's the reality. About 20% of what you do is going to drive about 80% of the value you bring to the organization. And if you can become really good at that 20%, that's going to be huge for your growth. These top performers, they are identifying what are the things that make the biggest impact. and then they are focusing on those things. Now, this right here might be one of the hardest things they do, but they do it really well. And they communicate like leaders. Communication is incredibly important. It's at the crux of all of this. You know, we talked early on in this video that it's not just about doing something, but it's about making sure that it's visible. Well, how do you effectively do that? Well, through strong communication. So people who want to be promoted, top performers, and people who ultimately want to grow within their organizations are going to need to work on communication because effective communication is like a cheat code. Strong communicators are clear, they are proactive, and they are concise. And they communicate in a way that makes others look to them when there is challenges that need to be solved or there's work that needs to get done. I want to give you an example of what an average person says and what a person um with strong leadership-like communication might say. An average person says, "Hey, I just completed this task. " But someone who has got strong leadership communication skills might say, "I just completed this task. The impact of this is going to be that and here's what I recommend doing next. " Right? That right there is someone who is communicating. They're communicating the impact of what they've done and they're talking about what makes ne what makes sense to do next based on what they previously completed. Now, top performers, they also manage perception intentionally. They understand that how they are perceived on a day-to-day basis matters a ton. Now, this isn't necessarily the work you do. This isn't necessarily um you know, communicating the work you do, but rather it's just the impression people have on you on a day-to-day basis. So, what are some examples here where this actually comes into play? So, it's how you show up in meetings, right? Are you attentive? Are

you participating? Are you making an impact? It's two, how do you respond to pressure? You're going to be in high pressure situations at your job. People don't ask the interview question, how do you deal with competing deadlines for no reason? That stuff happens. And how do you um react to that? Are you calm under pressure? That's really important. Additionally, how do people experience working with you? That's another thing that's really important. Are you seen as someone who is positive and someone who is a leader or are you seen as someone who's negative and a bit of a lagger, right? Like those things matter and it's how people perceive you and every single day people are looking at you and they're forming an opinion, right? And if you manage that intentionally over time, the outcome will be people have a very positive perception of you. And top performers are pretty intentional about cultivating that. Now, another thing that top performers do is they network effectively within their own organizations. Now, people talk about networking all the time. But typically, when people talk about networking, they're talking about meeting with past colleagues or new people and branching out into different organizations or clubs or whatever, right? But most of the time, people don't talk about what networking within your own organization looks like. Are you making crossf functional relationships happen? Are you connecting with people above you, people below you? Are you being intentional about building um within your own uh within your own organization, building advocates? People who will speak kindly about you and support you in rooms you're not in. People who will advocate for If you want to be a top performer, you have to understand the people dynamics at play. And it's really important that you go out of your way to cultivate these relationships, not just because you might need them tomorrow, but in 6 months or 12 months from now. It's also really clear to me that top performers are working hard and intentional towards being promoted. And you might think to yourself, "Well, Ben, I'm doing good work, but I'm not getting promoted. Why is that? " And it's why I made this video here. This video here speaks to that exact challenge. So, if you think that is you, come join me in this video. I'll see you on there.
