#64: Ask Me Anything: How To Honour Your Values At Work Right Now, Balance 'The Juggle' With Long-Term Goals & More
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you got a burning career question that you’re dying to get answered?
Whether you want to know how to communicate your priorities and ACTUALLY honour your values at work, stay career driven while balancing the juggle of a young family -- or identify the skills to futureproof your career, today’s episode is for you.
11,600 km. 13 hours. 3 flights and 3 time zones.
That’s the cross-country work trip I recently completed across the top end of Australia -- and back. All within one week. THIS is the reality of living in the most isolated city in the world.
I jokingly called it my ‘quasi-royal’ tour. Because that’s what the local media nicknamed Harry and Megan’s express 4 day tour of Australia the same week!
Concentrated work periods like this can be all consuming. There’s the focused preparation in the lead-up, followed by client delivery. Then I always allow some down-time on the other side and space to reflect on what worked -- and what I’ll do differently in future.
And what emerges during these pauses are new insights: The patterns I’m noticing, common career challenges leaders are facing -- AND the key questions people are asking right now.
I’ve wanted to do an ask me anything (AMA) episode for a while and this felt like the perfect time.
In this episode, I’m answering the questions which came up most often in my recent key-notes and workshops.
You'll learn:
- The ONE shift you must make to communicate your priorities in a way that's strategic (not aspirational) and live your values through your work, so you create a fulfilling, sustainable career
- 4 steps to support high-performing team members when progression opportunities are limited, so you retain your best people and futureproof your team
- How to keep making progress towards your long-term goals when you're ambitious -- but in a busy personal season
- My honest answer about how often you need to be upskilling in your current career, so you stay relevant instead of getting left behind
- 3 practical ways to identify the skills you need to develop for the future -- when you've got no idea WHERE to start!
So hit play NOW -- and let’s dive in!
