6 Ways To Immediately Get Noticed At Work Without Self-Promotion

As the government shutdown enters another week, our political leaders are getting noticed for all the wrong reasons.  They are taking stands that seem more about self-promotion and their own political careers, instead of doing what it takes for the betterment of a healthier whole – the nation and the American people. If you managed your career this way, you wouldn’t get far either.  Advancing your career in today’s new workplace  means embracing an approach that is less about you and more about others.   This may seem too idealistic at a time when most people are operating in survival mode and doing just the opposite – thinking less about others and more  about themselves.   Employees want to get noticed and take control of their careers.   In a workplace that requires you to do  much more with fewer resources, employees are having trouble earning the respect they seek and deserve.  They are growing tired of  corporate lip service and want their supervisors to start recognizing the merit of their work and overall contributions.
Getting noticed at work has been a topic that has been debated for years.   Many believe that self-promotion gives you a leg-up while others are convinced that getting discovered is a  more organic process.   Self-promotion may allow you to get a seat at the table faster, but the odds of sustainable career advancement are much lower today than in the past.  Why?  People that have to sell themselves too aggressively are often times unprepared when the opportunity presents itself.    They are impatient and seek to cut corners.   They lack the real confidence it requires to consistently be significant; therefore they spend too much time putting on a facade.  Besides, it’s  difficult to trust the intentions of those employees that are focused more  on themselves than others.    This is one of many reasons why so many senior executives find it difficult to sponsor employees.
Getting noticed requires leadership  with wide-angle vision to connect the dots  and create maximum workplace impact.  It requires teamwork in the new workplace that unites, empowers and inspires others for the betterment of a healthier whole. It’s about having each other’s backs and everyone’s best interests at heart.

Employees need to have better balance between the head and the heart.   It’s not just about your ability to be a potent pioneer and/or disruptor to get noticed.   You must be more mindful of how to use these unique qualities to lift and lead those around you  so they can better themselves and find ways to enable their full potential.    Stop trying to be the only star of the show and   show others how they too can be the main attraction.
The great difference between the recognized man and the respected man is the difference of the head and heart. The recognized man appeals to the head where things are easily forgotten. The respected man captivates the heart.  And the heart does not forget.
Collaborative leadership is in demand.  You can never be successful alone.  Someone else or a group of people had to support you and help enable  the opportunities you were trying to create.
Success comes most to those who are surrounded by people who want their success to continue.    
As you reflect upon your career goals and how to be a more effective leader, here are six ways to immediately get noticed at work without self-promotion.
1.  Be a Silent Influencer
The workplace is divided into two primary groups:  the loud disorganized/disenfranchised and the silent influencers.   Notice how the silent influencers  are the ones that people are most curious about.  They are the ones that are invited to be a part of the most important projects and rarely participate in group activities were the loud disorganized people are involved.
The silent influencer  has nothing in common with the recognition addict.   They are the ones that possess  quiet confidence yet speak up often enough to make their voices heard and have tremendous impact while doing it.   The silent influencer has the executive presence that most employees long for.  They are quick to see and seize opportunity, yet don’t flaunt  their success as they move onto the next one.
Being a silent influencer is a great way to get noticed.  You keep people wondering what you’re up to and curious about  getting into your circle.  When you are a silent influencer, you don’t allow the noise to disrupt your momentum.
2.  Do More Than Your Job Description

Always look around, beyond and beneath the opportunities that you seek.   Those that get noticed at work are those who approach each day with wide-angle vision.  They see through a lens that extends well beyond their job description.    Employees that know how to get noticed quickly have mastered the ability to maximize the value of their workplace dot and are continuously looking for ways to expand their sphere of influence throughout the organization.

The most effective way to expand your sphere of influence is  by becoming proficient at helping others do their job.  This will require you to know their job description and core responsibilities.

Why buying locally on Long Island Benefits you!!

Buy Local: Quick Facts on the Benefits of Buying Local

Why Buy Local?
With current market conditions, it has become increasingly cheaper to buy distantly produced goods, despite the increased costs of packaging, transport, inspection, and associated expenses. However, along with lower prices comes the added cost of repercussions on the environment and impacts on the economic well being of your community. Here are some shocking stats & quick facts about buying local goods.

Import & Shipping Statistics

– The U.S. imports $2.2 trillion worth of products yearly from over 150 countries.
– Aircraft transport has greater fuel consumption and greenhouse-gas emissions per mile than any other mode of transport.
– Transportation by shipping produces emissions of 1 billion metric tons of CO2 and uses 11 billion gallons of fuel per year internationally.
– The amount of sulfur oxide pollution that comes from the 15 largest ships equals the combined amount coming from all the cars in the world. (2007)

Waste & Packaging Statistics

– Food processing uses a lot of packaging, which is necessary for large farms to keep food from spoiling as it is transported and stored. But this packaging is often difficult or impossible to reuse or recycle.
– The EPA has estimated that the U.S. produced 11.9 million tons of plastic packaging, and over 90% of this went to a landfill after being used just once. (2003)
– Most food in the U.S. is picked a week in advance of reaching a store. Typically, a carrot will travel 1,838 miles to become part of a meal.
– A 10% shift of the produce to local use from one state’s farms would save 310,000 gallons of fuel on an annual basis, and would also reduce CO2 by 7.3 million lbs. (Iowa 2010)

Transportation Statistics

– Trucks and locomotives are responsible for 25% of smog-causing pollution and the majority of the cancer threat posed by air pollution in some urban areas.
– The EPA reports that trucks spend 3,221 of their 6,816 hours on the road each year at an idle. 1.2 billion gallons of fuel and about 200,000 tons of nitrous oxides are expended each year by transport trucks idling at rest stops.

Big Box Chains vs. Local Businesses Statistics

– Throughout the United States, only about 33.6% of the revenue from national chains is reinvested into the community, which is very low compared to the 64.8% return from local businesses. (2009)
– A study in Austin, Texas found that $100 spent at a local bookstore produced $45 worth of local economic activity, and $100 at the chain store Borders brought back only $13.
– National chains often bring loss of employment. The opening of a Wal-Mart reduces retail employment by an average of 150 jobs in the county of its location.
– Local businesses are usually established in city centers, instead of on the margins of communities like large chains, so they contribute less to pollution, congestion, habitat loss and urban sprawl.
If the people of an average American city were to shift 10% of their spending from chains to local businesses, it would bring an additional $235 million per year to the community’s economy.

Top Reasons to Buy Local, Eat Local, Go Local

Nueva! Leer en Español
By choosing local and independent businesses for your services, shopping, dining and other needs, you not only get real value and personal service, you're helping:

Check out our new social media banners featuring the Top Reasons to Buy Local!

BUILD COMMUNITY!The casual encounters you enjoy at neighborhood--scale businesses and the public spaces around them build relationships and community cohesiveness. ^{(source 1, source 5)} They're the ultimate social networking sites! 
STRENGTHEN YOUR LOCAL ECONOMY!Each dollar you spend at independent businesses returns 3 times more money ^{(source 2)} to your local economy than one spent at a chain (hundreds of times more than buying from an online mega-retailer) -- a benefit we all can bank on.
SHAPE OUR CHARACTER!Independent businesses help give your community its distinct personality. 

CREATE A HEALTHIER ENVIRONMENT!Independent, community-serving businesses are people-sized. They typically consume less land, carry more locally-made products, locate closer to residents and create less traffic and air pollution. ^{(source 3)}  More on this topic: Buying Green Means Buying Local.
LOWER TAXES!More efficient land use and more central locations mean local businesses put less demand on our roads, sewers, and safety services. They also generate more tax revenue per sales dollar. The bottom line: a greater percentage of local independent businesses keeps your taxes lower. ^{(source 4)}  
CHOICES!
A wide variety of independent businesses, each serving their customers' tastes, creates greater overall choice for all of us. 
CREATE JOBS AND OPPORTUNITIES!Not only do independent businesses employ more people directly per dollar of revenue, they also are the customers of local printers, accountants, wholesalers, farms, attorneys, etc., expanding opportunities for local entrepreneurs.
