In order to have an awesome career, I must:
- Remember to take time to build mindfulness in a way that works best for me.
- Share stories. Big ones, small ones, smart ones, and silly ones.
- Determine if I’m the type that lives to work or works to live and go for roles that are appropriate for my disposition.
- Be alert, pay attention to shifts in the company and world culture. Be aware of potential skills gaps and address them before they address me.
- Remember that work is bigger than just what I need, that as much as possible my work contributes to making the world a better place.
- That it is far harder and more painful to do work alone, I will collaborate with others to everyone’s benefit.
- Take jobs that do not cause purposeful harm to people, animals, culture or the environment.
- Befriend and network with people outside of my sector.
- Understand that there are multiple jobs or sectors I could thrive in, I don’t need to be scared of making the wrong job choice if I base my choice on my values, skills and ideal work culture. They can all be an adventure.
- Remember that similar to bodies, careers come in all shapes and sizes. I am the one who gets to determine what size and shape best suits me
