  + stars: | 2024-11-04 | by ( Aditi Shrikant | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: 1 min
With every promotion comes a weightier title, higher salary, and fresh set of stressors. However, the more people you manage and the further up the professional ladder you climb, the more important it is to keep your cool, says Brandon Smith, a therapist and career coach known as The Workplace Therapist. Slightly raising your voice during a team meeting is interpreted differently depending on what rank you hold in your office. "With every promotion your emotional reaction gets more exaggerated in the eyes of your team," Smith says. You just have to do so tactfully.

The other day, a friend of mine liked one of my LinkedIn posts. AdvertisementWhy LinkedIn feels so cringeAs much as LinkedIn is a professional platform, something about it feels really personal. There's a reason social-media accounts like Best of LinkedIn, which pokes fun at over-the-top LinkedIn posts, exist. Given the weakness of the official advice, I decided to ask a bunch of people for tips on how to post in a non-cringe way on LinkedIn. I also asked a pair of social-media managers — one at Business Insider and one at a different company — for their thoughts on LinkedIn posting.

☆ How to write a follow-up email without sounding passive-aggressive

How do you encourage the other person to respond without sounding desperate, or worse, passive-aggressive? They could be overwhelmed with something in their personal life, tasked with another time-sensitive project or perhaps your email went to their spam folder. Sincerely, [insert your name here] This approach is effective because you're "putting the ball in their court and letting them set the deadline," Smith explains. In your voicemail, or when they pick up the phone, Smith suggests starting with an emotional appeal: "Hey, I really need your help. I know you're busy, but this deadline is fast approaching and having you involved would really benefit the [task/project/assignment.]"

A single incorrect word choice or a misplaced exclamation point could alter how your message is received and undermine your professionalism. But the "biggest mistake" in workplace communication — and the hardest one to recover from — is sending emotional emails, says Brandon Smith, a therapist and career coach known as The Workplace Therapist. "It's a really, really hard skill to master — most people don't correct it until their 30s or 40s — but you should never send an email when you're feeling extremely emotional," says Smith. "People treat emails, Slacks or other online communication like a casual conversation you're having in the hallway, and it's not." Next time you get an email or online message that makes you feel enraged, anxious or even euphoric, do the following:

☆ We're writing OOO emails all wrong, says career expert: Here's what to say to keep co-workers from messaging you
  + stars: | 2023-05-17 | by ( Aditi Shrikant | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: 1 min
Do your co-workers email you with timely requests even when you're on vacation? If so, you might be writing your out-of-office email wrong, says Brandon Smith, a therapist and career coach known as The Workplace Therapist. Generic messages like, "I'll be OOO until [insert date] with limited access to email" can be easy to shrug off. "When I see that, I assume they are at home and took a day to clean their apartment," Smith says. This can set a stronger boundary and help you elicit more guilt from whoever dares cross it.

Nearly 60% of employees report experiencing at least "moderate" burnout, according to a 2022 Aflac Workforces Report. One way to alleviate some of that pressure is to stop obliging co-workers who are always soliciting help. If you're a people pleaser, the idea of saying "no" when someone asks you for a favor is probably horrifying. "The challenge with saying 'no' is it can be received personally," says Brandon Smith, a therapist and career coach known as The Workplace Therapist. Here's how to say "no" in a polite way when a colleague asks you for help.
☆ Don't tell your boss 'no', says The Workplace Therapist—use this 2-word phrase instead: 'Borrow from our friends in improv'

Oftentimes the consequence of being a reliable, effective worker is … more work. And, while the reputation of being productive is generally a good thing, even the most organized, go-getter can't do it all. If your boss consistently asks you to take on tasks for which you don't have the bandwidth, it's okay to say "no" sometimes, says Brandon Smith, a therapist and career coach known as The Workplace Therapist. Denying a request from a person who has some control of your income is understandably nerve wracking. "You always want to treat a boss like the number one client or customer," Smith says.

This is "generally not a good idea," says Brandon Smith, a career coach known as The Workplace Therapist. But the urge is understandable. "If people are struggling to find others with similar interests, well, work is somewhere you could find that," he says. And while most people are aware of all the ways in which a workplace romance could sour, most approve of them: 76% of those surveyed said there is nothing wrong with dating a colleague and 71% said there is nothing wrong with dating a manager.

In one study of 226 people, employees were asked to recall a recent civil or uncivil interaction. Those who recalled an uncivil one were more depleted or in a worse mood than those who recalled civil ones. Those whose partners started a fight with them that morning reported both being in a bad mood at work and helping others more. This isn't all that surprising, says Brandon Smith, a career coach and founder of The Workplace Therapist. Brandon Smith The Workplace Therapist
