Do Bats Have a Smarter Career Strategy Than You?

Do Bats Have a Smarter Career Strategy Than You?

Read this week's blog post about why timing beats hustle every time.

Are You Flying Into the Wind? ????

Migrating bats don’t waste energy flying against the wind—they wait for the right conditions and let it carry them. Smart, right?

Yet in our careers, we push, grind, and force progress, even when the timing isn’t right. What if success wasn’t about working harder, but moving with momentum?

? Recognize the right timing

? Rest as a strategy, not a setback

? Trust that career transitions take time

You don’t have to burn out to move forward. Maybe it’s time to ride the wind instead.

I was a guest on two podcasts recently -- Happier in Hollywood and Women at Halftime. Hope you enjoy our conversation!
