Are You Leading Your Career?

“Know who you are, and be it. Know what you want, and go out and get it!” ~ Carroll Bryant

As the CEO of your career, let's talk about what you are doing or not doing to move forward. Today, I will serve as your cheerleader, encourager and challenger, helping you to step up and take action to experience next level success. Take a look at the points below and see what you are doing well and where you need to do some work to move forward in your career.

#1. Own your talents and strengths. The main denominator in your forward movement is you. You have been blessed with gifts, how are your maximizing them? Increase your awareness, sharpen and leverage your talents and strengths to step up and step out.

#2. Watch your words. Are they helping you to make things happen or keeping you in the space where you are getting the same results? If you want to alter the results you are getting, you have to think and act differently.

#3. Become a lifelong learner. Make an investment in yourself - that is the greatest investment you will ever make. Learn and apply what you have learned.

#4. Build relationships. Get out of your comfort zone, challenge yourself and reach out to others. Look at this as an opportunity to gain new perspectives and to grow. P.S. I am not talking about one-sided interactions, most people will see if you are not genuine and just looking for what you can get.

#5. Get out of the comparison business. You are created on and for a purpose, don't get caught up in the 'be like others race.' Find your lane and shine!
