I started my career at 23 as the top exec of a 60 year old organization. Here is some advice to my younger self: clean up your finances
Make an effort to get out there, be present and visible, and get involved in making things better.
Contributing to making things better rarely backfires in its positive impact on personal growth.
Many young professionals are afraid to speak up, stand up, get involved, and make their presence known. They and their careers would benefit greatly from getting more involved.
Expecting the unexpected somehow better equips us to deal with it.
We want every outcome to be just so, and we try to guide people and teams to do things exactly as we think they should. A better approach is to offer advice, to encourage people to consider alternative angles and solutions. But our responsibility ends there.
What if, instead of trying to control and change other people, we do our part, let things play out as they will, and respond or move on appropriately?
Overwhelming things are usually only overwhelming because they’re stuck in our head bouncing around with no sense of their size and scale. Once they’re externalized, it’s so much easier to reduce them to proper proportion and identify how to move forward.
We’ve all been there: stuck in the mud and mire of useless worry and anxiety. Overwhelmed by the volume of challenges and crises in front of us. The solution is simple: channel that energy into action.
Questions, questions, questions. The greatest tool not only for the leader, but for all of us.
We all talk too much and talk about ourselves too much: what we would do, how we would handle something, and how we’ve navigated similar situations. But this robs the other person of their agency in discovering the solution.
What if, for one day, one full day, you only started your responses to others with a question?
Seek good work, work you love, work others find valuable, work that contributes something that fulfills you.
If you’re going to be “working” for a long time, you might as well find something you’re truly passionate about, good at, and willing to endure the difficulties and boring routines of.
Whether you retire early or work forever, you’re still going to be drawn to and called to “work” or something to occupy your time. So, you’d better find the work you love.
The next time you’re frustrated, arguing, or worrying, zoom in or out and see if you can relax just a little.
A perspective change is often essential to finding solutions. In most situations, often we need to stop and zoom in or out to find the solution.
If I could repeatedly tell my past (and current and future) self one thing during all those anxious moments of worry and stress, it’s this: it’s all always worked out, and most of it far, far better than you’d imagined.
