In this episode, Chabidaye and Valerie discuss:

Networking and connecting consistently
Building your brags
Investing in yourself
Claiming your power

Key Takeaways:

Build your network. Don’t wait until the last minute to do this, start now and do it consistently. Building your network takes time and you’ll need to put work into it consistently throughout your whole career.
Keep records on your computer or on a cloud system like Google Drive of emails, kudos, or even performance reviews, data, or metrics that show what you’ve done in your career.
Invest in yourself. Find a good coach and take time to see what you can do outside of the organization. Don’t tie yourself to a company, no matter how solid it seems.
You have the power to change your circumstances. You’re in the driver’s seat. All you’ve got to do is realize that and take charge, claim what’s yours, and get what you want. Don’t wait for a company to acknowledge that they should give you a promotion.

"Claim your power, claim your confidence, and declare it to the world. Show them who is in charge." — Valerie Martinelli
