114 - 5 things holding you back in your career development (and what to do about them)
Ready for some tough love?
Well good... that's what you've got today with this episode which focuses on 5 things holding you back in your career development (and what to do about them).
You my lovely... you are sometimes your own worst enemy when it comes to how you positively move your career forward.
How can that be?
Well... it's because there are certain things you do or attitudes you have which are not conducive to you moving forward positively on your career journey. There are a number of these... and the 5 I mention in this episode are:
- Perfectionism
- Lack of clarity (and indeed what you interpret lack of clarity means)
- Lack of engagement
- Attitude
- Lack of support and accountability
But don't fear - for each of these areas I go into some amount of detail about what you can do to improve the situation. I wouldn't leave you hanging like that!
Also - in reference to number 5 - remember, one of your solutions to this can be the Work Experience Wins offers I am developing. Join the waiting list for Work Experience Wins here
