How to Get What You Want
You already know what you want. The question is, do you know how to get it?
On How to Get What You Want, Susie Tomenchok shows you how to navigate the moments at work that actually determine your career. The conversations, decisions, and situations where what you say and how you show up shapes your career growth, leadership presence, and professional advancement.
Because getting what you want isn’t about being louder or more aggressive. It’s about how you think, how you position yourself, and how you handle those moments at work.
And whether you call it that or not, that’s negotiation.
Not the kind that feels pushy or uncomfortable. The everyday kind you’re already in.
When you decide to speak up in a meeting
When you ask for an opportunity
When you handle workplace conflict
When you position your ideas and advocate for your value
Each week, Susie breaks down real workplace scenarios, communication strategies, and mindset shifts so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start getting what you want in your career and your life.

The Space Between Ambition and Readiness with Jessica Delis
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Some people need a nudge to raise their hand. Others have to learn when to wait. But what happens when ambition outpaces readiness? In this conversation with my friend and seasoned operations leader Jessica Delis, we explore the tension between growing into a role and rushing toward it. Jessica shares what she’s learned from promoting leaders too early, what great leadership actually looks like, and why asking questions, lots of them, is the real power move.
This episode is full of practical insight for anyone navigating growth, coaching rising leaders, or trying to figure out if it's time to go for more.
In this episode, I’ll cover:
- How to recognize the difference between readiness and ambition
- Why curiosity is your best leadership skill
- What it really takes to grow into a new role
