As the new year approaches, many of us are filled with optimism about the changes and moves we plan to make in our careers. Whether it’s securing that long-desired promotion, starting to network more, pursuing a new role, or even changing jobs entirely, the time to prepare is now. We tend to set our goals in January, and then we blink, and the year is halfway over. Progress can feel slow and reaching our goals may demand more time and energy than we first thought. As time flies by, so do our career goals. Here's the secret to achieving your New Year’s goals: use Q4 to get a head start! The most productive thing you can do in Q4 is slow down to get clear on your goals and create an actionable roadmap so you can build momentum to take swift, clear action in the new year. Take a look at these steps you can start implementing today (not in January!) to work toward achieving your 2024 #career goals. ↓ https://lnkd.in/d_URzjgp  #careercoaching #professionalgrowth

Really! It’s kind of 😆 funny! Why am I laughing? Well, it’s pretty simple. You keep trying to “figure it out” when you don’t have to navigate your career by yourself. I’m not laughing at you, I’m laughing with you. Sometimes we laugh to stop from crying.🤷🏽♀️ I’ve tried to go at it alone, and it’s not fun at all. ❌Constantly feeling alone because nobody understands what you are experiencing. ❌Never quite understanding why you aren’t advancing in your career. ❌ Not having clarity on the next move you should take. ❌ Always hoping for the best instead of being confident about what’s coming. It’s exhausting!😅 I’ve learned so much over my 20 year professional journey, and I’m better for it! Now I support women and working parents with navigating their careers and leveling up without sacrificing work-life harmony. If you can relate to any of the challenges above ⬆️, join me on August 5 for a Free Live Career Bootcamp!

Many of us are graduating as you read this. Confused, excited, a bit overwhelmed? Welcome to the real world, folks! Here's an unpopular take. Your first job isn't about the paycheck. It's about the lessons. It's about the grind. It's about the hustle. Think of it as your 'Career University'. The place where you learn the unspoken rules of the corporate world. The place where you build resilience, absorb knowledge, and develop your professional persona. And remember, it's okay to be a beginner. It's okay to make mistakes. It's okay to be unsure. 🧩 The puzzle pieces will eventually fit, and the picture will become clearer. So, embrace the chaos. Dive headfirst into the unknown. Because the magic happens outside your comfort zone. Here's to the beginning of an incredible journey. To the start of YOUR career STORY. #career #college #graduating
