This lady is IT! What she says works. I went from being over qualified in my new job, to being promoted up several brackets to a place where I was not qualified, but assured that I would do well. The company CEO is my personal mentor now.... Thank you Carla Harris
I wish someone had showed me this before I joined the work force post graduation! I was always taught to work hard and put my head down but on raising my head, I would see those who were not putting in the same level of effort be promoted. Why? They were better at navigating workplace politics and most importantly prioritised developing relationships with key decision makers. Thanks Carla for helping me to finally connect the dots!
I can't tell you how powerful this message is. I have shared it now hundreds of times and I put it to work for me almost two years ago. This is, perhaps, the #1 rule in managing your career.
I spent 3 years in the same role wondering why everyone was being promoted around me despite me having stellar KPIs. As soon as I implemented this, I was promoted 4 months later. I’ve now shared this to my colleagues who are wondering how I got promoted. It’s not my MO to gate-keep. I believe there is room for all of us to be successful, and I will gladly extend my hand to help for those who ask. Maybe it’s good karmic energy or what ever lol, but I love putting positivity into the universe. This video was so impactful to my career and has completed changed its trajectory.
When you speak up for others to the influential bosses at the top, people will also think better of you because a good leader is one who identifies potential in someone and verbalise it.
Oozing confidence, impeccable clarity and power. I will do my upmost and get coaching to come across this way. This is true swagger. no clothes, diamonds or any material can outshine this display, this Woman.

This is the best TED talk I have ever listened to. It's because it's pragmatic, concrete, and doesn't dive into the past, or dwell on victimization on any level. It's a "If you want to know, here you go" type of talk from someone who has been there. It's not a put down to anyone. Thanks for the inspiration today and the work you put in on every yesterday to create the experience to share your ideas here. Simply beautiful.
Right, because a black female executive giving a talk about career progression would naturally delve into the past and unwarranted victimization themes. You people, I swear!
FACTS! The problem with most is that they are one-dimensional. In the case of personal relationships, we tend to simply do enough to get by, and if we have a performance relationship, we tend to keep it as such; expecting the results/promotions to be handed to us. Meanwhile, those with a more personal relationship seemingly reap more rewards due to the "currency factor," but aren't entirely trusted to go that extra mile needed for a promotion. Rarely do we know how to do both effectively. Ultimately, this was one of the best TED talks I've heard in a while! Not only because of the delivery and the person delivering it, but because of the fact that these simple tips apply from the working-class level, all the way up to the Wall Street level!
What a speech!!! Not only are these words of wisdom, they're also delivered in such a powerful manner!! Just so much to learn from just these few minutes!!!
I've learned how to get promoted the right way and her advice helped me to seek out the sponsors that's advocating for me. Fantastic advice! One of the best Ted talks EVER!
So this is how what I consider “under performers” got promoted! They knew how to navigate the politics as well as find & build relationships with sponsors. Just keeping your head down and working hard is not enough or even working. Got to build strong relationships.
Carla's talk taught me why my career failed. I had lots of Performance Currency - top-shelf operational turnaround and continuous improvement skills. But I didn't have any Relationship Currency. Not a drop. Consequently, I wasn't able to keep my health, job, and lifestyle.
Just leaving this comment here so that when I get to where I want to be using this advice I can remember the days of small beginnings. Thank you Ms Carla.
@Marian Gherca Probably not, but the first impression imputted by the judges tend to lead the conversation, especially if they are very influencial. They can even negotiate a second chance that would never be given to you otherwise.
Já assisti pelo menos umas 10 vezes esta mesma palestra. A primeira vez ouvi pelo Spotify, onde a conheci. Digo sem receios que é a melhor oratória que já ouvi!!! Uso como referência pra minha vida profissional!!
E X C E L L E N T The best 13 minutes and 24 seconds I've experienced!! Congratulations on the discovery that led to THIS share. Hmmm who is presenting my papers? Continued blessings!!!
Message and messenger was spot on ! This was indeed power given away I’m grateful you lead by example let me make sure I do my best always we never know who’s watching
In an ideal world this would be deemed as dirty politics or immoral, but this is our reality. I appreciate her for being honest with us. I am someone who has never sought anyone at a strong position to do me a favor at my work. But now I realize whenever there is a "human element" involved you need that whether it is work, family or any other place. Time to change myself.
I'm a little surprised that view count is quite low, is the topic dry or people want to rely on pure performance to grow and think using relations to grow isn't ethical. Totally agree subjectivity at workplace is common, people express opinion, at round table or in the corridor, you do need someone above you to represent you, however performance is the key. Someone can only dress up GOOD to look BETTER...hard to dress up OKAY. PERFORMANCE IS THE KEY. Be a performer and people come and find you to fight your cause.
Lord her confidence and style of speech is excellent! This is the level of confidence and speech excellence I am working towards.
I hope you get it and that others will appreciate your level of confidence and style of speech as much as you appreciates hers! Best of luck to you!

It is incredible how she delivered such an impactfull speech in such a short amount of time. This speech provides a wealth of knowledge.

Agreed. Great advice
When you speak up for others to the influential bosses at the top, people will also think better of you because a good leader is one who identifies potential in someone and verbalise it.
She is the definition of a strong woman
She is brilliant, performance currency and relationship currency
Absolutely love her.
Indeed one of the best TED videos I've seen in a while. Concise, precise and impactful.
My mentor told me to get a sponsor and I looked up what that meant and found Carla Harris. I’m glad I found her. She’s just awesome. Thank you 🙏

You're a wonderful being for sharing knowledge and wisdom with colleagues that so many merely see as competitors.

This talk keeps becoming more and more important as we go through everything. I watch it at least twice a year, and recommend it to others.

One of the best TED talks videos that I've seen so far. Amazing speaker and really useful insights. Congrats!
What a speech!!! Not only are these words of wisdom, they're also delivered in such a powerful manner!! Just so much to learn from just these few minutes!!!
I want to work for this woman! What a honest leader!
"The way to grow your power is to give it away"
Wow.
Nicholas Hogan that was good wasn’t it!
I'm here in 2020 and she had me at that
Trump should have listened to this advice if he wants to keep the allied countries.
"The way to grow your power... is to give it away."
Thank you. I will forever take these words with me.
"the only way to grow your power is to give it away!" So counter intuitive yet so elegant. 👏👏👏
Carla Harris… wow!
I've learned how to get promoted the right way and her advice helped me to seek out the sponsors that's advocating for me. Fantastic advice! One of the best Ted talks EVER!
Captain Marvel?
Brilliant woman, and brilliant delivery of a very helpful speech!
So this is how what I consider “under performers” got promoted! They knew how to navigate the politics as well as find & build relationships with sponsors. Just keeping your head down and working hard is not enough or even working. Got to build strong relationships.
Doesn't work for all people especially those with poor English skills
Hahahahaha
Coursera course "Career planning: Your career, your life" by Macquarie University brought me here !
Carla's talk taught me why my career failed. I had lots of Performance Currency - top-shelf operational turnaround and continuous improvement skills. But I didn't have any Relationship Currency. Not a drop. Consequently, I wasn't able to keep my health, job, and lifestyle.
She's it, love the energy super insightful and inspiring, thanks for this.

This!!!
Facts
Her last 10s (@12:50) are strong words for those who understand them. Thank you.
She is an amazing speaker. I working on that level of confidence with my speaking. Having a sponsor is necessary.
she speaks so damn well - i want more info here.. this is great
What does that even mean? As opposed to who?
@@ggll5240 as in speaks well for a ... Ugh!
But she does speak well, lol. Why does it have to be compared to anything?
@@KevinGH76 why? why ? Be part of the solution not part of the problem.
Ms. Harris, you are amazing. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
I am in literal tears at "the way to grow your power is by giviig it away".
Oh Mann! She ..she's .just incredible.there's something in her voice.which will hook you up till the end.hats off to you lady👐

So amazing, even someone of a low class like me got something here🙏
Brilliant! Thankyou.
I'm a little surprised that view count is quite low, is the topic dry or people want to rely on pure performance to grow and think using relations to grow isn't ethical.

Someone can only dress up GOOD to look BETTER...hard to dress up OKAY. PERFORMANCE IS THE KEY. Be a performer and people come and find you to fight your cause.
An excellent to the point message.. very clear direction on way forward...
She’s so good. I bet she’s got lots of “juice” in any room!
Excellent-thank you.
