What if you could take 100% responsibility for your career and transform your leadership style in just three days? Join me on this episode of the Mid-Career GPS Podcast as I share my experience at NextUp's Rising Stars Conference, where over 250 mid-level leaders from the U.S., Canada, and the Netherlands embarked on a career development journey. Discover the three transformative takeaways that will revolutionize your approach to leadership: taking complete responsibility for your career, understanding the significance of career clarity, and harnessing the power of self-advocacy. Get valuable insights from sessions and speakers on avoiding burnout and identifying your unique leadership style, and learn why it's imperative to become your best advocate on your career journey.
In another segment, we dive into the art of networking with the principle of "give first, ask later." Learn how intuitive listening and offering help before seeking favors can make a difference in building genuine connections. I'll share a personal story about the serendipity of seizing an unexpected opportunity to connect with a busy colleague, emphasizing the importance of curiosity and impeccable timing. We also discuss the critical need for self-care and maintaining boundaries in the post-pandemic world, especially for business owners. Reflect on the importance of providing context when asking for grace, illustrated by a heartfelt story about a colleague's support during a challenging period of insomnia. Tune in for practical advice and inspiration to take your career to the next level, and consider seeking coaching support to define your goals.
