How to Create a Values-Led Career
Think about a situation at work when someone said or did something that caused a strong, negative emotional response in you.
You probably kept it under wraps at the time, but inside you raged - hurt or frustrated beyond belief. No doubt you downloaded the situation to a trusted colleague as soon as you could, forensically picking over each detail and getting re-outraged all over again. The unfairness of it all! The lack of integrity! The nerve of that person!
Stop Making Decisions For Other People In Your Career
How many times have you not applied for a job because you decided the hiring manager would think you didn’t have the right experience? What about not putting yourself forward for a promotion or internal opportunity because you decided your boss would say No? Or not emailing someone to ask for their help with something because you decided you’d just annoy them.
But I bet you’ve also made lots of decisions for other people without even realising it.
