I If you're a younger employee, you may have experienced the struggle of getting noticed for
your work. Do not worry, you have lots of opportunities to champion yourself at work and
point out your victories: in a range of fields. There's a definite art involved in the delicacies of
advertising your accomplishments. If you're always talking about how good you are at your job
and how lucky the company is to have you, you'll come across as selfish. But speak too little of
your work, you could miss out on promotions. If you want to take your career to the next level,
you need to champion yourself at work.
II The first rule of championing yourself at work is to have something worth boasting
about. You need a particular achievement, because going around telling people you're great for
no reason at all makes you sound full of yourself. You should always have something specific,
and it should be measurable. There's a saying in business: “If you can't measure it, you can't
manage it.” We know; things like your team's morale are important too, but the fact is your
boss, your boss’ boss and everyone else has a preference for numbers. Why? Numbers are an
easy handle. Your boss could spend a few hours a week sitting in on the sales team, watching
how many deals are made, and the overall mood of the division for example.
III When you achieve the result you've aimed for, you truly have something to boast
about. However, if you play that victory off the wrong way you'll come across as boastful. So
instead of going around boasting about what a fine job you did, share with the others around
you, how proud they should be of the success the company had. Do what you can to share the
praise: It makes you look like a bigger man and nobody will be confused about who actually
made the win possible.
IV Have you ever had a question for your boss or something to get their feedback on? You
may have even felt unimportant or unappreciated to them. Your boss doesn't mean to ignore
you, he’s just busy. Get a promotion to management, and you'll quickly realise how much work
your boss was dealing with that you weren't even aware of. They have people above them to
answer to, their own work and you and your coworkers on the level below. So don't feel bad if
you get an apathetic reception from your boss, maybe you caught them at a bad time. Keep
bringing up the good things you're accomplishing. Don't give up!

 Transcript

My name's Katharine Hamnett. I'm a fashion designer and I've been campaigning on
sustainability for the last 30 years.
In the 1980s we were on a complete roll. We did some research and I thought, 'Ah, it's gonna be
fine.' Cut to the kill. Every single raw material was having a horrendous impact on the
environment. People I've bought hundreds of thousands of metres of cotton from were saying,
'Why should we make it organic cotton since you're the only one asking for it?'
'Choose life' – that was our first T-shirt. 'Save the future', 'Save the bees'.
Clothing purchasing is driven by desire. You know, they've got to be desirable. They can't just
be sustainable. This coat is recycled polyester. Padded silk, because I was trying to find an
alternative to fur, and it actually works.
I think it's important, you know, as well as campaigning, to actually prove that it can be done.
