Office Real Talk with Tas

Welcome to Office Real Talk with Tas, the podcast hosted by Tasneem Bhamji, designed to help you thrive in the corporate system, even when the odds are stacked against you. Expect insider advice, practical frameworks, and real talk, always. As part of the Inside the Room series, each week I’m breaking down the conversations and decisions that define your career, but that you rarely get to hear, because they happen behind closed doors. And this week, we're talking about what’s really going on when you’re a top candidate, but you don't get the job. You've done a brilliant interview. You've been told you were a great candidate. They say “there's nothing more you could have done”. But you still didn't get the role. So what happened? The reality is, hiring decisions aren't always just about how well you performed. There are things happening behind the scenes, from internal priorities and sponsorship to team dynamics, that influence who gets picked. And this week, I'm sharing them. I'll be drawing on my own experience as a hiring manager, and sharing what you can do when you're left without a clear answer. Because sometimes there are things you need to work on. But sometimes, there are decisions happening behind closed doors that you simply aren't aware of. Thanks so much for being here for this series.

As part of the Inside the Room series, each week I’m breaking down the conversations and decisions that define your career, but that you rarely get to hear, because they happen behind closed doors. And this week, we’re getting practical. So often, we’re given vague feedback at work: you’re not strategic enough, you need to be more political, you’re just not ready for the next step yet. This week I’m taking those terms and I’m breaking them down, to help you decode what leadership actually means by them, and more importantly, what can you do about it.

Expect insider advice, practical frameworks, and real talk, always. As part of the Inside the Room series, each week I’m breaking down the conversations and decisions that define your career, but that you rarely get to hear, because they happen behind closed doors. And this week it’s a big one. What does leadership notice most about you at work? You might think your results are good. You might think delivering (and delivering well) makes you the obvious person to back when it comes to promotions and new opportunities. But doing the work well is the bare minimum. And no matter what your role is, your leadership team will be judging you on a lot more than your results. And I know this, because I do the same thing with my team, too. In this episode I’m breaking down the five key aspects of how you show up in corporate that can (and will) impact whether you’re backed, sponsored, or kept where you are.

Welcome to Office Real Talk with Tas, the podcast hosted by Tasneem Bhamji, designed to help you thrive in the corporate system, even when the odds are stacked against you. Expect insider advice, practical frameworks, and real talk, always. This week, it’s the first episode of Season 3, the Inside the Room series. Each week, I’m breaking down the conversations and decisions that define your career, but that you rarely get to hear, because they happen behind closed doors. What does leadership notice most about you at work? What factors are at play that influence our decisions about you? What evidence can convince us you’re worth backing? And what evidence convinces us you’re not? Expect all this and more. This week, we’re talking about why you might not be progressing, how to tell when you’ve been parked at work, and what to do about it if you have. Because being valued is not the same as being developed. And learning the difference could be the difference between progressing in your career, and staying stuck where you are.

Expect insider advice, practical frameworks, and real talk, always. This week, it’s the final part of the extraordinary career series, and I’m getting real about how to handle office politics and grow your career at the same time. Because, like it or not, it's a permanent fixture in the corporate world. And when you stop thinking about politics as a manipulation tactic, and start seeing it for what it is, a way to understand people and influence how decisions are made, you realise that navigating office politics is necessary for building an extraordinary corporate career.
