"The best way to approach taking a career pause and navigating next steps is to write out a very clear, detailed vision of your ideal day three years from now. How do you feel in your body and mind? How are you spending your time? What are you focusing on? What does your family dynamic look like? Where are you living?" Read More.
"Scan your life for areas of potential growth or evolution. It can be something big or small. Maybe it’s the courage to walk into a networking event alone. The goal is to identify one area where you’d like to evolve. Connect with the strengths and resources you already have. Reflect on past successes that relate to this growth. Who are the people in your life who could support you? What tools or skills can you leverage? " Read More.
?"It’s important to distinguish between the raw data you're using to make predictions and what you're trying to understand about people. Basic socio-demographic data is often helpful for making initial decisions. However, within categories, such as lipstick, there’s still a broad range of reasons why people might buy it. That’s when it becomes interesting to dive into psychology. We often work with the Big Five personality traits—extroversion, openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism.

"Three key aptitudes affect how we choose and perform in our roles at work. The first is timeframe orientation, which relates to how you view time and deadlines. The second is introvert-extrovert, which is a personality assessment, and the third is whether you're a generalist or a specialist. Then we move into what we call the core four, which most directly influence the types of work you’ll enjoy. These are spatial ability, inductive reasoning, sequential reasoning, and numerical reasoning, and idea rate." Read More.
"You start by defining what success looks like and then work backward. Ask yourself what would need to be true to make your goals happen. You will make assumptions throughout this process, and I urge you to document them. You learn by articulating these assumptions.

These checkpoints could involve customer interviews, prototype creation, or analyzing future factory land prices. The key is developing a plan to learn and not assuming all the risks as if you have everything figured out." Read More.
