A career coach has revealed the one simple step you need to take to become the office celebrity.

Emily Durham, 29, worked in recruitment for eight years before becoming a content creator, helping thousands navigate the world of work.

She said to be an office celebrity you need "brand recognition"."

Emily said how you look at work is an extension of your brand, so you should create a repeatable office uniform - like a jacket, glasses, or perfume - that you mix and match each day.

Emily, a career coach and content creator, from Toronto, Canada, said: "Dressing well at work doesn't have to be hard, it is a conversation starter."

"If you dress well, you set the tone that you take yourself seriously."

"Bright, bold colors make you memorable. You will be shocked at how many people come up and compliment your look."

"By having a repeatable office uniform, people will recognize you aside from your emails."

Emily said that hiring results are worse now compared to what they were in 2009.

She said it used to be about having a great resume, but now, it comes down to who you know which is why she says becoming the office celebrity is key.

She says being a "personality hire" now has negative connotations - implying someone who is either mediocre at their job or not skilled at their job, but has a great personality."

Emily said a personality hire is someone who people like working with, but an office celebrity is someone people are dying to work with.

She said: "We know likeability is the more clear characteristic of a successful promotion, as well as being good at your job."

"Being the office celebrity is all about making connections and making yourself known in the wider company."

"It doesn't have to be formal networking. It could be adding small routines like the 10-minute chat in the morning that is not difficult to do."

"You get into the office, in the first 10 minutes of the day, you pick up and empty a coffee cup, walk around the office saying good morning and speak to people."

She said her best tip is to "play like a politician" by taking the time in the morning to say hi to people and make them feel important by taking an interest in their personal lives."

Emily said: "Remember, people don't like you for who you are and what you do."

"People like you for how you make them feel about themselves."

"You remember the little things people tell you about their lives and build connections with people that aren't about work."

"The reason you have that empty coffee cup is that you have a one-minute conversation and say, 'sorry, I need to fill this up, I will catch you later'."

"That gives you a closing and opening to catch them at lunch."

Emily said a key skill of an office celebrity is someone who connects and brings people together.

She said not only does it make people like you, but it puts you in a position of authority.

Emily said: "You can join an employee resource group or volunteer at the company in a very visible position."

"Be the person who plans all of your social events. I don't care if you don't want to do it, it is going to be worth it."

"When it is time for lunch, invite everyone, go out of your way to bring everyone together."

"Make sure you are the person who brings people together. It makes you likeable. It makes you an authority figure."

Emily's final tip is to work on your listening and communication skills.

She said the people who are recognized at work are the ones who are strong communicators.

Emily said: "These skills are so important and can be a make-or-break."

"People who are recognized at work are really strong communicators. Avoid using filler words, speak slowly and clearly."

"Don't rush through what you have to say."

"When people give themselves time to speak, that shows they know their shit and they are commanding the room."

Emily's top tips:

1 - Play politician
2 - Have a repeatable office uniform
3 - Bring people together
4 - Have good listening and communication skills
