Hello Reader, Do you know what a dream career means to you?
If you want to design a dream career, you have to know what matters to you, so you know when a career supports what matters to you or takes it away from you. Most people won't give this much thought. The default is to pick the job that pays you the most. But everything has a trade-off. What are you willing to trade off in your life for that higher-paying job? If the answers aren't coming to you immediately, perhaps it's time to get clear on it.

Get your answers in my free career journaling workshop happening later today at 8 PM, Singapore time.

Going out to meet strangers in a 'networking' event to grow my business was the last thing I wanted to do. But it's one of those business activities you know you have to do even if you don't feel like doing it. Rather than go out in person, an easier step for me was to start networking...
Hello Reader, I got this unkind remark this past week in response to a comment I made on a post by Austin Belcak about Cisco cutting 5,500 jobs. Here was my comment on Austin's post: My comment had obviously triggered something in this person. There was some discussion following my comment with others, but they were respectful as we shared our different perspectives. TBH, reading that comment pissed me off. I was tempted to re-engage in a 'debate' about his assumption about me being ignorant...
