What can bravery do for your career? In this episode of Career Relaunch, Raluca Comanescu, an architect turned productivity trainer shares her thoughts on an emotions-based approach to setting authentic goals, the power of accountability, and the importance of self-love. I also share some thoughts on how you can inject more bravery into your own career decisions.

Key Career Insights

  1. People too often “borrow” goals from others that sound good on paper but don’t really carry the same meaning or importance.
  2. Finding and having an accountability partner can help you stay on track with your goals.
  3. Emotions are a big part of goal setting. That means you need to pay attention to which emotions are serving you and how you can recharge those emotions.
