Merry Xmas for those celebrating and happy holidays, everyone! 🎊🎄🎈 I am grateful for 2023 with all its ups and downs, achievements and mistakes, and beginnings and endings. Having said that, I would like to share some career reflections: 1. Career is a journey that has its ups and downs. Embrace it. Enjoy the ups as they last, and accept the downs as you excel in other areas. 2. Everyone has different interests, objectives, goals, and timelines. Define yours clearly and do not compare yourself to others. It’s your journey not anyone else’s, and YOU should decide what legacy you want to leave behind. 3. It’s a job. While your job provides motivation, your health and family can never be replaced. Prioritize your wellbeing, take time off, breathe fresh air, celebrate personal wins, spend time with loved ones, sustain your personal relationships and don’t make “busy at work” an excuse. 4. Work never ends. Ask for support and learn to say “No”. Allow yourself to decide what to take on and when, based on interest, learning, exposure, and enablers to deliver with quality. 5. Success comes after failure or mistakes. Never stop learning. Learning from people (mentor, manager, colleagues, or even direct reports) will help you to grow, and adopting a learning mindset will help you become a more rounded and fulfilled individual. 6. Team work makes the dream work, and strengths lies in differences, not in similarities. Make sure to be a team player, be open for different perspectives, ask for feedback, learn from others, share knowledge, make friends, and celebrate team success. 7. Last but not least, as you navigate your career journey, remember that it’s part of your life journey. Never compromise on being your authentic self. This is what connects the dots and makes you unique. As we optimistically welcome 2024, I wish that all employers provide a safe space and inclusive work environment for everyone, celebrate employees being their authentic selves, refute biases, share equitable practices, and stand for humanity and peace! #2024vision #2024goals #careerreflections #careeradvice #learnings #authenticleadership #inclusiveculture #freepalestine #peace #standforhumanity
