The Career Path

Self-improvement, personal goals, professional growth and people skills are at the top of the list for over achievers and job seekers. There’s no need to be overwhelmed. Coming out of the pandemic, COVID -19 has changed the game and redefined normal. It does not matter your personal choice or opinion(s); whether you’ve decided to be pro vaccine or anti-vaccine we all are trying to move forward and rejoin the great outdoors in large groups. The age of what many have termed “the great resignation” has created much opportunity. Yet, is anyone prepared to enter into this new level of opportunity the next 10 years has to offer? Chances are your more prepared then you’re giving yourself credit for. Even if you’re starting a new career, trying to break new ground in a familiar trade, or boldly traveling outside your professional comfort zone; this new season will allow you to prioritize, strategize and focus on goal setting. Career objectives in the new normal are based on skill, collaboration, preparation, and team support. The next time you think to reach into your database of contacts, have clear intentions. Your experience is only a portion of what you bring to work. Application is key. Distinguishable ideas spark interests. You don’t have to know everything, but if you know what you’re not you’ll gain the right momentum to get where you want to be. Stay consistent.

The Personal Growth Glow-up

So often we convince ourselves that being busy and overwhelmed is normal and expected of successful people. However, stress does not equal success. And in the era of social media comparison the ideal hyper-successful productive persona can be challenging to live up to.  After you’ve read the article consider sharing it or sparking a chat with a friend.

Personal growth is essential, but it’s also an individual experience that has to be discovered. Although we look toward others for clues to draw conclusions. Too often we encourage ourselves to modify our ideas about the ideal life. However, the ideal quality of life exists within your own personal identity. (Think of it this way) the people we grow to know are small reflections of the scope we live in. And although we are all connected, things change. Remember, survival is based on our ability to evolve. Therefore, we must adjust to change. As scary as that may seem, it does not have to be. Enjoy the process of self-discovery. Identify qualities about yourself that you recognize and utilize those strengths (cool skills) to make ripples in your everyday interactions with the world around you.

New opportunities require new experiences. Sometimes, the most meaningful experiences are the ones we create when getting to know ourselves on a more personal level. That means you may have to refocus your energy and rethink your expectations. No one will see your glow up if you don’t show up. Be bold and courageous. As you get prepared for greatness to extend opportunities your way keep your thoughts pure and your words positive. Anticipate new beginnings. Break old habits and challenge yourself to create a healthy self-image or evaluate your current journey; give yourself a huge hug and remind yourself that your doing great and can still improve (after all, consistency is a lifelong goal).
