Can you believe we're already in the final stretch of 2024?
If you're like most of us, you're probably wondering, "Where did the time go?" But there's still plenty of time to make this your best year yet, career-wise. And guess what?
The key isn't in grinding harder - it’s getting cozy with YOU!
We're talking about taking time to do some inner work.
Now, we know what you're thinking. "Inner work? Sounds like some woo-woo stuff."
But trust us. As career strategists who have led workshops with thousands of women, we know this is gold that should never be overlooked, especially in midlife.
It's the key to unlocking a career that actually vibes with your life and who you are NOW. So, let's dig in and get real about making these last four months count!
1.TTime to Flex. You've got superpowers you don't even know about! All those years of juggling work, family, and maybe a crisis or two? They've turned you into a full-blown superhero. So, grab a pen and paper (or your trusty iPad like Linda), and let's inventory those strengths:
What problems do people always come to you to solve?
What tasks or projects make you lose track of time?
What life experiences have given you unique perspectives?
Remember, just because it’s easy for you does NOT mean it’s easy for others. It’s your strength. Own it!
2. Values check: Does your work spark joy? Okay, we're not going full Marie Kondo here, but let's talk about aligning your day-to-day work with your personal values. It's like finding the perfect jeans – when it fits, you just know. Ask yourself:
What matters most to you right now? (Hint: It's probably different from 10 years ago)
Does your current gig light you up or leave you drained?
If money were no object, what would you be doing?
3. Mindset makeover: Imposter syndrome, we see you. It's time to kick those self-doubts to the curb, embrace your value, and get visible! People can’t support you or benefit from what you have to offer unless they know how great you are. Here's how:
Start a brag file. Yep, write down all your wins, big and small.
Share your wisdom. Blog, tweet, LinkedIn post – pick one and spread that knowledge - you’ve already got it all inside you!
Raise your hand for that next big opportunity. You've got this!
Remember, your experience isn't "outdated". It’s earned. You have skills that come from years of life and work experience – they're your edge.
Make these last four months of 2024 your runway!
Career evolution is an inside job. And it’s easier to do this work when you’re supported by a like-minded community invested in you.
