Yue Reforge Talk on Self Advocacy

With Reforge

It's performance review season, and here's a hard truth: the employees who did the best work or took one for the team aren't always the ones who get promoted.

The people who do the most widely recognized impactful work, month over month, are. So how do you become a better self-advocate for your work if you feel shy about it or don’t want to brag?

Yue Book Cover

The Uncommon Executive

Breakthrough to the C-Suite as a minority

One of the most challenging, emotional, and time-consuming topics that come up in career conversations is how to break through from middle management into executive levels –VP or C-Suite. It is one topic where I get consistently bombarded with doubt, confusion, and fear. 

​

This book seeks to provide a path forward through that doubt and confusion and be a guide for aspiring executives to follow in their journey to the top. It shines a light on what being an executive truly entails, what hiring committees look for, and what skills are truly critical for success. It then offers off-the-beaten-path (e.g. not white-male-centric) examples and tactics on landing stretch assignments, overcoming biases and stereotypes, finding your superpower, and finding role models in less obvious places.
