ALWAYS DO?

ALWAYS DO?

We cannot solve a problem with the same mindset as the one that caused the problem. We have to come at it from a new perspective with a fresh set of eyes.

Sometimes (often) personal or professional growth is needed.

Take Jenny.

Jenny knows she’s clever, she’s probably the cleverest person in the team and yet promotion always evades her. Why is this?

  • Is it because she’s a woman?
  • Could it be because she’s not pushy enough?
  • Or is because she’s not prepared to suck up to the boss?

These are the reasons Jenny tells herself as she cries into her morning coffee, her confidence sinking to a new depth.

But with a fresh pair of eyes, could it simply be because Jenny is not willing to do the things she needs to do to get noticed and to get in line for the next promotion.

§ She could take a course in Project Management, People Management or even Public Speaking.

§ She could work on her skills and her career plan.

§ She could book time with a career advisor or hire a coach or mentor.

§ She could start to take the kinds of actions that get her noticed for the right reasons.

In order to change anything, we need to change ourselves. We might not like our choices, but then we can try to make different ones. 

Jenny can sit and cry that’s life’s unfair or she can look that promotion dead in the eye and say:

“Baby you’re mine – I’m going to do anything it takes to nail you!”

Remember the old ditty:

IF YOU ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU’VE ALWAYS DONE, THEN YOU’LL ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU’VE ALWAYS GOT.

Happy Tuesday Everyone – even Jenny.
