3 BIGGEST GOLDEN NUGGETS
(1) You are in the driver seat of your career. Nobody cares about your life, your happiness and professional development as much as you do. Don’t wait for things to happen. Ask for things like promotions, projects and high-visibility opportunities. And even as a junior: reach out to seniors to schedule 1-on-1 meetings.
(2) People are not just robots. We need a revolution in work: organizations that embrace holistically organizational life and help people thrive personally and professionally wholeheartedly.
(3) Our minds are biased but so are our systems, processes and environments. Research shows: awareness alone is not enough to change behavior.
