Instead, it's about how well you can prioritize your commitments, deadlines, projects and work, says Juliette Han, a Harvard-trained neuroscientist and adjunct professor at Columbia Business School. If you want a second opinion on your job audit, Han suggests consulting either a colleague or your manager. "Tell them you're evaluating your current workload to maximize your productivity and focus on some bigger goals," she says. For example: You might be less responsive to emails, but if you're using that free time on deep-focus work, you're probably turning in better-quality work. "Thinking through all the components of your workload and how these help — or hurt — your career development is super important," Han stresses.

Research has consistently shown that being liked at work can positively influence your career advancement, from negotiating a raise to landing a promotion. Gaining a colleague's respect or making work friends isn't a privilege reserved for high performers, says Juliette Han, a Harvard-trained neuroscientist and adjunct professor at Columbia Business School. According to Han, there's one "cheat code" highly successful people use to form stronger bonds with people at work: They find common ground with the people they work with. "You want to have a clear, open dialogue with the people you work with to show that you listen to and respect their preferences," Han explains. Praising someone on a presentation well done, their work ethic or a skill they've mastered "can go a long way," says Han.

Speaking up in meetings can be intimidating, especially if you're an introvert — but failing to make your voice heard at important moments could hurt your career. That's at least according to Juliette Han, a Harvard-trained neuroscientist and adjunct professor at Columbia Business School. There's a different "tried and true" trick to standing out at work without speaking up during meetings, says Han, who is also an academic advisor at Harvard medical school. This could include brainstorms, status-update meetings, problem-solving meetings or other important work conversations. Or, if someone posed a potential solution to a business challenge during a meeting, and you would recommend a different approach, outline your thoughts in the follow-up email, says Han.

For Verizon CEO Hans Vestberg, self-reflection is serious business.

☆ Harvard-trained neuroscientist: Avoid these 3 types of toxic co-workers 'at all costs'
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-19 | by ( Morgan Smith | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

At work, toxic bosses, co-workers or clients can drive your brain into a stressed-out state, hurting your productivity and eroding your confidence, says Juliette Han, a Harvard-trained neuroscientist. "Toxic behavior isn't limited to people who are intentionally hurtful or lashing out at you," she adds. "People who gravitate towards drama or have a bad attitude about work can be just as bad for you." The more time you spend with someone who is constantly worried about falling short or getting fired, Han warns, the more at-risk you are for absorbing their toxic behavior. How to handle it: It's important to remember that your co-worker's victimhood mindset has nothing to do with you, Han says.

☆ Harvard neuroscientist: The 'most underrated' skill all successful people have—'especially introverts'
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-25 | by ( Juliette Han | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

The most underrated skill that successful people, especially introverts, have is the ability to write clearly. Before you communicate an idea or request, decide on the best format to deliver your information. For example, if you are sharing research involving complex data, then a PowerPoint displaying charts and images may be the best format. Format the email so it's easy to read on phone screens (e.g., short, bulleted sentences). If your message exceeds one page, create a separate document to attach and use the email to provide highlights.
