I Made the Most Money in My Career After 4 Key Shifts, And So Can You

Let me get straight to it:

The biggest financial leaps in my career didn’t come from switching industries, getting another degree, or waiting for someone to finally recognize my worth.

They came when I made four powerful shifts, internal ones. Because the truth is, your mindset leads your money.

Here are the four shifts that changed everything for me:

1. Mindset: I Stopped Thinking Small

I stopped saying things like “I’ll just be grateful to stay employed” and started thinking like a strategist:

  • What impact am I having?

  • What value do I bring to the table?

  • Where am I shrinking to fit in?

Once I shifted from surviving to expanding, opportunities started finding me.

2. Responsiveness: I Became the Person Who Moves Fast

In every role, I built a reputation for getting things done quickly and with excellence. I didn’t sit on emails or wait to be reminded.

People started seeing me as reliable, efficient, and essential. And when leaders think of you that way, guess what? Your name comes up in rooms you’re not in.

3. Proactiveness: I Didn’t Wait to Be Asked

I didn’t wait to be handed leadership, I practiced it. I looked at what was broken, confusing, or neglected, and I stepped in with solutions.

Being proactive positioned me as someone who didn’t need to be managed closely. That level of ownership? It builds trust, fast and trust builds promotions, raises, and visibility.

4. Influence: I Learned How to Move People, Not Just Tasks

The final shift was a game-changer: I stopped just “getting work done” and started influencing how others feel about the work.

Whether it was how I communicated, collaborated, or coached others, I led with presence, clarity, and confidence. Because when people trust your influence, they’ll follow your lead. That’s when you step into true leadership.

Ready to Shift and Rise?

These aren’t just nice ideas. These are practical leadership shifts that will transform how you’re seen and how you’re compensated.

And if you’re a manager, you need to be developing these daily.

That’s why I created Supercharged Management—a leadership accelerator for managers who want to lead powerfully, build trust, and grow their influence (and income).

Inside, we’ll work on the very shifts I mentioned: ✅ A stronger mindset ✅ Sharper responsiveness ✅ Next-level proactiveness ✅ Real leadership influence

The HIC Roundtable is back bringing together 50+ senior HR and People Leaders for a candid discussion on the realities of HR leadership in 2025. Joined by Vernā Myers, Netflix’s first Global Inclusion Strategist, we explored what it takes to balance C-suite demands with employee well-being, rebuild trust, and lead with courage in a rapidly changing world.

When my team and I secured an $8 million deal, the biggest win wasn’t the number, it was the trust behind it. Months later, that same team chose to follow me into a brand-new startup with no guarantees. Not because they had to, but because they believed. That’s the power of inclusive leadership, it builds teams that follow conviction, not comfort.

On October 15, HIC will host HR’s Impossible Job in 2025: Pleasing the C-Suite While Protecting Employees, a private roundtable for 80+ senior HR leaders. Featuring Vernā Myers, Netflix’s first VP of Inclusion, this session goes beyond theory into real, candid dialogue about what it truly takes to lead HR in 2025.
