The primary driver

It is extremely important to dedicate time to intentionally define success. And while doing that, you have to consider the difference between success that is dependent on your own actions and success that is dependent on others' actions or environmental circumstances. An example. Say you want to write a blog post a week for the … Continue reading The primary driver →

To your advantage

There is one absolute truth. And that truth is that no one is ever going to care as much as you do. No one is going to care about how brilliant you are. And you ARE brilliant. But no one is going to care. Of course, that can change if you put your brilliance at … Continue reading To your advantage →

To mentor

You do not have to be a master to mentor. You do not have to be the best at what you do, neither you need to be an expert in what you do. You might have a passion, but that is just a like most of the time. You might feel competent and knowledgeable, but … Continue reading To mentor →

Discipline and compassion

I love how this article by Brad Stulberg sums up many of my thoughts and beliefs around practice and awareness. The relationship between self-discipline and self-compassion is reciprocal. One feeds the other and we need to find a way to keep them in balance. It's the only way to avoid getting stuck. It's the only … Continue reading Discipline and compassion →

Doing is boring

Doing is boring. It comes after the excitement of ideation and brainstorming. It is way ahead of the sparkles and glitters of reveal and success. It is repetitive, often solitary, unsung, at times painful, mostly bland. And that is precisely why many fail at it. Showing up day after day to merely do is a … Continue reading Doing is boring →

The greatest gift

If there is only one thing you are going to dedicate more time to in the future, make it be listening. Do not rush to tell your piece, learn to sit still with your assumptions and conclusions, give others the space to come up with their own version, accept that silence is not you giving … Continue reading The greatest gift →

Protect or build

You can protect your name, your reputation, your prestige. Or you can build it. Rarely you can do both at the same time. Protecting is about public relations, networking, promising, giving speeches. It is a reactive game. It is about ensuring that what you do determines who you are, how others see you. It is … Continue reading Protect or build →

Rapport

Just because you say it needs to happen, doesn't mean it will happen. If you give somebody an urgency, you better frame it in a way that makes sense to them or to the greater cause. Important is subjective, even when you are close, even when you work in the same team, even when there … Continue reading Rapport →

A story for your career

Owning the narrative to your career (and life) has a double positive effect. First, you get to control how people look at your profile, see you professionally, and eventually what they hire you for. There are many marketing experts, MBAs, sales reps, customer success managers. When you differentiate from the bulk and stress what makes … Continue reading A story for your career →

Connection

We underestimate the importance of talking with somebody when things are bad. We tend to close, fantasize, make assumptions, build on our own emotions, point fingers, second guess, and in general spiral down in a hole we can't get ourselves out of. There is always somebody to talk to. Sometimes that is your partner, a … Continue reading Connection →
