Subject: How to Unlock Your Tech Career Potential Today ??
Feeling stuck in your career can creep up without you noticing. You are busy working hard, juggling life and work, so sometimes there is little time for reflection.
Unless you are awake at 3am...then is the time your brain seems to want to start considering what is going on with your career?
If you have become aware that you aren't getting anywhere careerwise, whether you are feeling held back by the environment or by sabotaging yourself with negative thoughts of not being good enough, then read on for some tips.
Tip 1: Own Your Narrative
Don’t wait for someone else to recognise your value. Take the lead in showcasing your skills and achievements. Share your wins—whether it’s during a meeting or a casual conversation.
Start small if it feels uncomfortable (these feelings arise purely because you are doing something new and you haven't practised it yet)
See your Confidence grow.!
Tip 2: Batch Tasks by Energy
Being too busy may seem like a badge of honour, but it is holding you back. You focus on the details and do not look up to see if you are aiming the right way.
One way to increase productivity (until you learn to say no more often!) is to batch similar tasks together.
Constantly shifting gears will slow you down, as it can take between 5 and 20 minutes to fully be in flow with a new task if it requires a different energy or mode of working (e.g., detailed work vs. 1:1 sessions with your team or manager).

It’s Time to Take Charge:
Finding more time (being more efficient with your tasks) and being more open about your successes, particularly when considering appraisals and performance reviews, can have a direct impact on your performance.
Sharing your wins is vitally important. Most people are so busy thinking about their own careers that they don't think about yours. That's your responsibility.
Don’t wait to be noticed. Start owning your narrative today.
