Empowering Organizations and People Leaders to thrive in the ever-evolving world of work
Congratulations! You’ve just been promoted, and you’re ready to embark upon the next phase in your career as a new leader of a team. How can you best set yourself up for success?
Start by setting goals that focus on your team, your career and your continued personal development.
I’ve been in a mood lately. A little restless. A lot ready for something new. And while I now know that this is good news, I didn’t always feel that way.
I have a history of restlessness in my life. A personal life that has taken more twists and turns than the girl who grew up on an isolated Tennessee farm could ever have expected, and a career that has morphed into a life spent as a certifiable introvert, whose job is all about people.
And it’s all good.
But getting here hasn’t been without uncertainty, struggle, missteps, wrong steps and pain.
I’m a voracious consumer of content in the areas that are of interest to me – specifically leadership, entrepreneurship, speaking and personal development.
Interestingly, I’m not a good book reader (fixing that is a goal for 2016). But I do buy lots of books. I just rarely read them.
So a couple of years ago, I decided to try podcasts as a way to continue learning, and to fill time that was normally spent listening to the same songs in my playlists or on the radio over and over again. Now, I listen to podcasts while driving, traveling, exercising, cleaning the house, fixing dinner, etc. Suffice it to say, I’m hooked on learning.
