After a 24-year journey rising from entry-level to executive, the former COO of Morgan Stanley Europe, coach and Career Mastery founder offers personal stories, career advancement strategies, and professional growth tips so you can go from invisible to influential at work…and in life.
Like Busch, I wish I had had a book like this when I started my career in television.
“I had to figure out things, mostly the hard way, but because it was so hard for me, I had to learn how to do it. When you’re a natural at something, like Michael Jordan’s ‘hang time,’ he can’t explain how he gets hang time in the air, gliding to the basket, but somebody who had to learn how to do that can explain the steps. I feel like it is my opportunity and maybe even my responsibility and my mission to take all of the things I learned the hard way and share it in a way that others can use it and struggle less than I did.”
— Author May Busch
Busch earned 10 promotions in 24 years, thanks to an “aha” moment when she realized it isn’t enough just to deliver great performance. You must have visibility at all levels in an organization. Her journey was a unique one, so she encourages everyone to carve out their own path.
It’s about helping each of us to find the way that’s authentic to oneself. It’s really where you are aspiring to head that matters. And that’s what the book really helps you with, from where you are, wherever that is, and moving forward toward your aspirations.”
In her book, Busch provides a three-part roadmap to finding workplace empowerment while overcoming the myths of career development.
“The first myth is, ’If you put your head down, do great work, deliver results, then you will be rewarded and recognized.’ After the first couple years, that just isn’t true anymore. In fact, that’s a recipe for being invisible and overlooked.”
Here are some of May’s top tips to keep learning, keep growing, and keep going:
1. Be a student of yourself, and how you operate, as well as your environment.
2. Focus on how you can bring your best self.
3. Take ownership and develop a career mindset.
“I want to live in a world where good people can succeed and finish first and be successful in their careers and their lives,” said Busch.
