Whatever it is - don't do that to your family. 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙜𝙪𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙟𝙤𝙗, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙮 Our heads are often pretty good at telling us when we shouldn't take a job. If the offer has lowball pay, the hiring manager was an ass, or it turns out there aren't any benefits, it's easier to say no. But sometimes, it's our gut that senses something is wrong when the job looks great on paper. LISTEN to your gut. ________________________________________________ ❓❓❓𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙞𝙙 𝙄 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨? ❓𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙖 𝙟𝙤𝙗? ------ Repost ♻️ if you found this helpful All my posts on one page at #workshouldfeelgood Click my name, follow me, and ring my 🔔 to get notified when I post. #careergrowth #jobsearch #careercoaching #leadership

Not feeling appreciated by your supervisor? You know you can do the work, but how do you show you're an asset to the company? Take a look at this article for a little guidance. #careermanagement #workplacetips #management #careers #NAMICNY

Since I switched careers to work in HR, it's been both a blessing and my biggest challenge. Sometimes, what we dream of doesn't turn out to be easy or smooth in reality. But I see this as a challenge in itself. - Can I be a good leader? - Can I handle the responsibilities the company has given me? - Will my presence make things better at work? - Will my colleagues feel valued because of me? These questions bother me every day. What I do is prioritize respecting and loving myself. Loving yourself isn't about being selfish, it's about feeling okay with yourself despite your flaws. This mindset helps me pursue my dreams while also respecting others. Mistakes are bound to happen in any career journey. They teach us important lessons, especially when we work with different people and ideas. Being adaptable and flexible in teamwork turns challenges into opportunities to grow. That's how we can determine whether we're effective leaders or not. It's like building a skyscraper. It stands tall not because of one person, but because of many people working together. Every job needs different roles - architects, engineers, designers, and more - to make it happen. By working well as a team, we make sure everything goes according to plan. But it's important to remember that our position right now is just one step in our journey. Just like climbing stairs, we keep moving forward. And through it all, I remember that "People won't remember our position, but they'll remember how we treated them"

Research tells us we spend a third of our lives in paid employment, so it stands to reason that you want to know what it is you are getting into when you move roles. An article by Fast Company considers 5 key questions to ask yourself when moving jobs. Those familiar with our process, will know Amy Woolf believes in deep dives into your motivations before any new job. So what should you be asking yourself before moving to a new job? ➡️ What matters most - personally and professionally, at this stage of my life? This question can be used as an overall assessment of what work means to you, your purpose, values, and passions. ➡️ What values do I need to see in the leadership of an organisation to know it is right for me? ➡️ What is missing from my current role? Have a look at the link in the comments section to see more of what Fast Company has to say on this.

This week, at Compass Group USA, our team has spent time equipping leaders and our HR team with some tools for career conversations. And while those guides and tools are an awesome start, each of us, as individuals have to express the desire and drive; be open about our strengths, curious about opportunities, and transparent about areas for growth. I found this helpful HBR article for starting that conversation if your own boss hasn't asked you lately: What do you want to do next?

💼 In the realm of careers and professional journeys, it's crucial to remember that positions and titles may be temporary, and ranks can be limited. 🤝 But the way you treat people, Will always be remembered. Let's prioritize respect, empathy and kindness in every interaction. #CareerWisdom #ProfessionalGrowth #LegacyLeadership

“What will my supervisor think of me if I ask for a promotion?” I can recall this being my thought when I was ready to make some pivotal moves in my career. Although I had this thought, I didn’t allow the thought to stop me from advocating for myself. And because I was able to speak up for myself, I created opportunities that allowed me to grow both personally and professionally. Here’s what I learned: 1️⃣Effective communication matters 2️⃣Additional skills can be acquired 3️⃣Personality trumps experience 4️⃣Adaptability is key 5️⃣Feedback drives improvement Ladies, don’t let the thought of how you will be perceived stop you. There are opportunities waiting for you on the other side of your self doubt, you just need to be bold enough to go for it! Let me know if you agree, share your insights in the comments 👇🏾 #jobseeker #careerguidance #careercoach #careergoals #jobpromotion

Was recently asked about why those who work less get promoted more 🤨🤨🤨. Here are my top 3 considerations for why perceived laziness can lead to greater career success: 1. **Delegation:** 'Lazy' individuals might excel at delegating tasks, making it appear as if they're efficient managers. They build the impression that they are good at what matters to their managers. 2. **Office Politics:** Sometimes, individuals who are adept at navigating office politics may secure promotions, regardless of their work ethic. They build good relationships. 3. **Perception Management:** Lazy individuals may excel at managing perceptions, creating an image that aligns with success even if their actual contributions are limited. They communicate well and are able to articulate achievements however seemingly minor that they might appear to be. 'Lazy' doesn't mean stupid, in fact, it can be quite the opposite. So to those doing 60 hour weeks and wondering why it isn't leading to career progression, it might be a good time to re-evaluate and consider a different approach 👇👇👇👇👇👇
