- Find your niche; build your reputation around a particular niche (e.g. talent development, talent acquisition, or employee/labor relations.)
- Use email to your advantage; while we can’t force others to be prepared for meetings, we can send an email to the person with whom you’re meeting a few days in advance of your get-together. Use the subject line “In advance of our meeting”, it is likely the other person will open your message.
- Become a hub; build connections with disparate people and groups across the organization.
- Show why your work matters; cite hard statistics and the business results your work has produced.
Grow your personal brand and professional reputation; underline the benefits for your company. Demonstrate the value of your increased exposure.
