When we talk about getting clear on your priorities in business, it's easy to think, "Oh, I don't have time to take a step back and look at my strategy. I've got so much to do…."

The phrase 'work-life balance' means different things to different people I think. What does 'work' represent exactly - time spent in the office? And 'life' presumably means personal life? But it's unclear if we mean by that, spending time with your partner and your children, having time for your hobbies, maybe just taking a break from your office work...?

Unfortunately, putting your head down and doing a good job isn't necessarily enough to get you noticed. I think we've grown up in a society where we're told to be humble, we shouldn't blow our own trumpet, and it's frowned upon if you stick your head above everyone else.

2020-07-2315 minReimagining Success® with Anna LundbergHow to build your professional brandIn today's episode, Anna looks at leveraging LinkedIn to build your network and online presence, even as a full-time employee. I like to think that companies and employers are forward-thinking enough these days to allow if not encourage their employees to build a presence online, including on LinkedIn. However, if that's not the case, there are still actions you can take in the meantime. At the most fundamental level, you should always be keeping your profile up to date. On LinkedIn, that means a recent, professional photo; a custom headline (don't just let the platform choose what...

In our society, in a culture of high achievement, competition, and overwork, career has become almost synonymous with your identity.

Why trust your intuition? Why not just rely on our cognitive ability, a comprehensive analysis of the pros and cons, and make a sensible, rational decision? Well, first of all, we're never going to have complete information. We're never going to know every single factor, consequence, scenario... We're never going to have all the information, all at once, in order to make a perfect choice based only on analysis, conscious thought, and cognition. So...

The fact that someone else believes you can't do this, they think you'll be ruining your career and worries that you won't earn enough money is in no way a reflection of your actual capabilities or the fate that awaits you if you leave your job."

(1:54) "The very essence of your comfort zone is that it's comfortable and familiar. Everything in your life is set up to fit with how you are working and living now. Your colleagues and peers, your friends, your family - they all know you as you are now, and as you have been so far. It's very hard within this environment to feel free to think and feel differently."

(1:21) "On the surface, nothing, it may seem like a full-time job is the safest option when it comes to having children: you get a steady salary, you'll get paid maternity leave, and you have the security of having a guaranteed role to come back to once you're ready to start working again."

Now, my first premise is always that you have to define what 'success' looks like for you – of course, that's the name of the whole podcast so hopefully, that's not too surprising.
