Top tips

  • If you want to achieve something, personally or at work, always start with “why”. “Why” is the best question. A clear purpose is the best way to find the right path.
  • Work is a big part of life. Find a place, or role, you can feel passionate about, so it’s worth the effort, and you want to put more effort it. 
  • At least every couple of years update your CV. See what you’ve learned and be clear what you’ve achieved. It helps remind you that you are growing, it changes how you think of your own capability, and nudges you to take control of your own career.
  • Use digital newsfeeds and updates, at least, be aware of what’s going on in your industry, and in adjacent areas, not just in your company. Ask around about what’s available in your company to keep senior leaders informed, and get on the distribution list. It’s really easy to end up feeling like your company is the universe – and wherever you work, that’s unlikely to be accurate!
