Getting what you want from your career
|
Hello Reader, We're almost halfway through 2024. Have you taken a moment to review how your first half of 2024 has been? What do you want to focus on for the second half of 2024? I just completed my May review. I do a weekly and monthly review, where I ask:
My goal in 2024 is to streamline and focus on doing 1 or 2 things well. This includes making friends on LinkedIn and sharing my lessons and insights about career, money, and success. Most of the past 2 decades have been spent raising my kids and working to provide a good life for our family. Now that the kids are growing up, I'm shifting gears to focus on the next phase in my career where I give back by helping women navigate their careers. This is how it is with our careers. It ebbs and flows with the seasons of our lives. Switching up pace, intensity, and focus depending on what season of life we're in. Yet, most people treat their careers like a straight line, starting at some entry level and progressing upward until they retire. The reality is that our careers are more like cycles and seasons. Sometimes they take detours, u-turns, and slow down before speeding up again. Some parts even die so that new life can emerge. This is normal, and the whole point of it all, so we get to learn and grow along the way. Unfortunately, many people get discouraged and disillusioned when things don't go as they expected (me included). But the results and outcomes we want are just signposts. They guide us to become the kind of people who get those results. You don't get the result you want unless you first become the kind of person who gets those results. With 2024 halfway through, take a few moments to reflect on the past half a year, and set your priority for the next half. Who do you have to become to get what you want in your career? This will be your focus for the second half of 2024 so you can go make that happen! Sharon P.S.

Reader, Growing up I was: Shy, quiet and introverted Overweight and hid myself Didn’t feel I had any valuable opinions Now: I speak publicly for a living as a trainer and coach I’ve completed a half marathon and several 10km runs Share my views online and shamelessly promote my business How you see yourself will determine what results you get in business and life.

Reader, As with anything, you can do it for free, by yourself. Or you can hire someone to accelerate your progress and make it easier. I always encourage people to figure things out themselves. The value is in the process where you make mistakes and learn. But there comes a point where repeatedly going in circles doing this gets you nowhere. It can keep you stuck in the same place for too long unnecessarily because of The uncertainty and doubt wondering if you’re doing the right thing The...
Reader, The company where I work my day job is in the midst of an acquisition. This means many employees feel insecure about their jobs. When I recently conducted training, several colleagues were commenting about how people were feeling fearful. They asked me for advice (translation: reassurance they would be ok). I understand these are uncertain times that can be frightening. As the primary provider, I know this worry firsthand - of not having an income while having a family to support....
