How to not be annoying at work. If you’re good at your job, you might be and not even know it! #careertok #careertok #careeradvice #executivepresence

You can be really good at your job, but really annoying to work with. And I want to have some real talk with you all because I like you. So being good at your job is only one part of being successful at work. Being annoying to work with can actually cap your leadership potential. Because the higher you climb the ladder, the more things like soft skills, executive presence and EQ matter more than your work. So here's some examples of being annoying that you may not even realize that you're doing. I have done these myself and I still got promoted to VP because I learned how to not do them anymore. So the first example, when people come to you for help, you are constantly the person who only shares problems with what they're asking for blockers are overly rigid. And you're doing all these things in such a way that it makes it impossible to collaborate with you. That gets read as annoying. So the second one is if you talk to people in a way that makes them feel like they're not smart. Or if you're not saying it, your face shows it either in one-on-one conversations or in meetings. And I'll do another series if you all enjoy this, but the last way that you can be unintentionally annoying at work is if your emails and verbal communication is way too long. It's also very pervasive with AI in the workplace now with people just copying and pasting cloth or chat GBT outputs into email and is way too long. You can stand out by being the person who is succinct with their communications and you don't have to be like all the other people who drown everyone else in too much. But the good news here is that all of these things are super easy to fix. I'm Ashley, I run a leadership firm and I'm an executive coach. I help smart people get to the next level in their careers.
