Set intentions, not resolutions
This week, I want to share a suggestion with you: set intentions, not resolutions.
It’s easy to make a list with a dozen goals you want to reach by the end of March, but is that how you should approach it?
Here are some questions to guide you in setting your intentions.
A thought for ‘in between the years’
Merry Christmas to all my readers who are celebrating.
In that spirit I will keep this message brief and share a few thoughts you can use in dinner conversations as I will do this evening.
What really matters for your career
Yesterday, someone asked me ‘so what did you study to get to where you are?’
I want to reflect on the skills and attributes that really matter for our careers.
Let coaching be a shortcut for your goals
I’ve used coaching for my professional and personal life for the last 5 years and – informally – from the start of my career. I want to share with you how coaching can be a great shortcut to achieve your goals and how you can get started.
Fill the room with your voice – here’s how
When you speak to an audience, you want to be memorable. You won’t do it with a whisper and hesitation. Here are my tips for using your voice and energy to your advantage.
Do you have regrets? What action will you take?
You can’t change the past, but you can take action to avoid repeating your own mistakes or leaving missed opportunities behind without trying again.
Surround yourself with the right people
When was the last time you spent time with a really close friend or family member and came away feeling so energised, understood, and loved?
Being with good people can fill your heart and restore your soul. Yet in our everyday lives we often don’t make time for these much needed interactions.
Bring kindness to work
November 13th was World Kindness Day and it made me reflect on how important being kind is for your career. It’s very important.
Yes, there are successful people who are jerks, but you’ll get much further in life (and will be able to look at yourself in the mirror each morning) if you take the route of kindness.
Today I want to share ideas for small acts of kindness, that are deliberate and transform your relationships with your co-workers and other professional connections.
Build a strong network – without playing golf
Have you felt envy that a colleague gets to play golf with the boss for the day, to close a deal?
Read on for an alternative and discover networking that’s simpler and more accessible for everyone.
Let’s talk about money
Money. An awkward topic. A contentious one too. And something we absolutely need to talk more about!
The current economic climate has put many people in a tough spot, so I want to provide some suggestions for navigating finances in the short and the long term.
Leverage the power of preparation for your career
Preparation is one of the best things for your career. It means you don’t stare at a blank page and don’t get steamrolled with challenging questions in meetings. Read more to find out how preparation helps your career.
Striking a balance as an introverted extrovert
In a world that celebrates extroverts and A-type personalities, you might feel that introversion isn’t a desirable quality. But it is.
As someone who discovered her own introvert tendencies only in the last few years, I think it’s important to stay true to yourself and how you like to work and interact with people.
