90 Day Career Diet

2024-02-13T12:01:25-05:00

ARE YOU ENGAGED IN YOUR CURRENT JOB? Do you wake up every morning ready to go, or do you hit the snooze button–literally and figuratively? DOES YOUR BOSS RECOGNIZE YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS? When was the last time your boss acknowledged what you do? How well did you do on your last performance review—have you even had one in the last 12 months? ARE YOU CONSIDERED INDISPENSABLE? Are you the go-to person for your boss and the team, who does whatever it takes to get things done? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WERE PROMOTED? Two years ago? Five years ago? Longer? [...]

Learning It All

2024-02-13T12:01:25-05:00

My company doesn’t offer much in terms of formal training. How can I learn more? Keep in mind the 70-20-10 rule of thumb. Formal training accounts for only about 10 percent of development; 70 percent is from on-the-job experiences, and 20 percent is from other people, such as your boss. Learning and development occur in first-time situations and difficult challenges. Look for ways to stretch and grow by volunteering for new assignments and going outside your comfort zone. There’s nothing like a complex problem or a good crisis to accelerate your learning. Based on: Advance by Burnison, Gary. Learning [...]

Going Global

2024-02-13T12:01:25-05:00

How can I improve my chances of success working in a global space? Prepare for the learning experience of a lifetime. This is full immersion into the new and different—with a full measure of challenges (personal and professional), frustrations, and adventures. It’s a given: learn all you can before you leave. But that’s only baseline knowledge. Keep your mind open, drop your biases and preferences for how things should be done, and learn the nuances of the culture, customs, and norms of doing business. Be gracious and respectful—because you’re going to make mistakes. Before leaving, know exactly what you’re [...]

Tapping Your Right Brain

2024-02-13T12:01:25-05:00

I’m very good at what I do. I’m the best performer on the team–and smarter than everybody else, too. But I’m not getting promoted as fast as I think I should be. Why can’t they see how valuable I am? Based on: Advance by Burnison, Gary. By becoming more self-reflective and self-aware, you’ll understand your true strengths, have the clarity to identify and work on your weaknesses, and achieve a better balance between left brain and right brain. Your left brain got you here; your right brain will take you there. An IQ of 150 is pointless if your [...]

Self-Awareness (1)

2024-02-13T12:01:25-05:00

What is the one of the top reasons, that your career and life advancements are derailed, and how can you overcome that? Self-awareness is everything. If you are not self-aware, you will never learn, never grow, and definitely never improve. You will ignore your blind spots, overestimate your strengths, and gloss over your weaknesses. And that is a recipe for derailing your career. The cost of self-delusion is high. Research shows that people who greatly overstate their abilities are 6.2 times more likely to derail than those who have accurate self-awareness. If that isn’t a case for becoming more [...]
