Pete Mockaitis: How to be Awesome at Your Job

Pete Mockaitis is an award-winning trainer and coach who helps professionals perform optimally at work. He hosts the How to be Awesome at Your Job podcast, a show that has been downloaded eight million times and consistently ranks as a top business show in Apple Podcasts.

Pete facilitates training for organizations on enhanced thinking and collaboration to increase clarity and reduce rework. He helps teams save an average of 1.4 hours per person per week.

In this conversation, Pete and I explore some of the key mindsets and questions that are helpful when getting alignment with your boss. We explore the areas you’ll want to generate clarity, as well a few key questions to consider.

Key Points

Six areas where clarity is critical:

  • Deliverables
  • Timing
  • Process
  • Resources
  • Audience
  • Motive

Questions you may consider when getting alignment with your boss:

  • How do you want this to look when complete?
  • What does the organization value on metrics and deliverables?
  • What’s an example of a time this expectation was not met?
  • What metrics are my boss being measured on for their own success?
