5 Things That Will Shift Your Career Perspective

-

1. LEADERSHIP STARTS BEFORE THAT PROMOTION


We’re repeatedly challenged throughout our careers, whether we’re starting at the bottom as interns or run our own successful companies. It is our responsibility to get the most out of our work hours, and that means taking the extra step toward leadership. Whether you’re new to the idea or have already successfully lead multiple teams, this article proves that accepting failure, rewarding creativity, and reveling in success are just a few ways to boost your leadership skills.

2. VOLUNTEER AND DO IT OFTEN

We’ve been encouraged to volunteer since a young age and developing into a working professional is not an excuse to stop. Volunteering not only helps the community, it also encourages you to grow as a human being. This article gives five reasons why volunteering is great for your career (as if you needed a reason to do it other than helping people), and it also points out some positive career changing outcomes you may not have considered.

3. NEED A CREATIVE BOOST

We hear again and again how exercise is important to our daily health and longevity. It prevents disease and depression, but did you know if affects our mental health at work as well? Those runs or gym sessions sharpen our minds, and the resulting endorphins motivate us to do better work. Exercising can even help you be more creative, which is always useful no matter your career path.

4. TRASH THAT SINGLE CAREER PATH

We all know it's a beautifully paved road that leads into the gleaming sunset. It’s more like an overgrown,mismatched cobblestone path leading somewhere we can’t quite see in the dark. But cheer up: this article breathes light into the fact that we may think we have it all planned out, but that it never works out the way we envisioned. Opportunities disappear, but new ones crop up and it’s okay to adjust accordingly.

5. STOP BLOWING OFF YOUR FINANCES

It can be hard to save money, especially when you’re just starting out in your career. Maybe you made a big move cross country, haven’t had time to grow your skill set, or you’re still searching for your dream job. This article is both relatable and eye opening, helping us all feel a little better about our circumstances while also reminding us that tough times are no excuse to avoid taking some financial responsibility.

1. Practise Saying ‘No’ Human beings are programmed to be non-confrontational. From a young age, we’re taught to follow orders or else get punished, and as adults, we’re taught the same thing. Time and again, we’re told to ‘let it go’ and ‘just go with the flow’ so we don’t upset the client or the boss. This lifelong habit of avoiding confrontation and just saying ‘yes’ weakens your negotiation skills. But not to worry; you can still reprogramme your mind by practising saying ‘no’.
