Margaret Spence asks what you need to focus on to move your career forward. She uses a box metaphor: you've built competencies at your current employer but may be stuck in a comfort zone. Climb out, re-examine your original vision, and identify one mindset or behavior change that will ripple through your future.
Day 5 of the 30/30 Career Transformation Challenge. Thank you for joining me for day 5 of the challenge. Um, my name is Margaret Spence and I'm the founder of the Employee to CEO Project and the 10X Leadership Academy for Women. And during the month of September, we are doing this 30/30 challenge, 30 bold questions over the 30 days of September to reset your career. To shake up your career, set new goals, create a new vision before January 1st. We're not going to wait until January to create a new vision for our career. We're going to do it now. So today's bold question is, what do you need to focus on to keep moving your career forward? Here's an idea. Imagine that when you arrived at the company you're working for now, there was a box and you jumped into that box, and you've been in that box toiling and toiling and toiling and toiling. You've been doing stuff, you've been getting good at things, you've developed competencies, you're excellent at a lot of things. People know you're there, but Now that you're in that box, how are you going to climb out of it? How are you going to take a new view of the vision you had when you got to the front door of the company that you work for? How are you going to look at what you wanted differently so that you have an opportunity to get and achieve what you wanted. The one thing that people regret is all the things that they haven't done. So rather than regretting all the things you could have done with your career, what can you do differently? What can you change today that's gonna impact your career tomorrow and the next day and the day after that? What can you change right now in this moment about how you view what you're doing, how you view the skills you have, how you view the organization you work for. What can you do today that's going to impact your future and impact your tomorrow? And if you aren't doing it, why aren't you doing that? So The question for day 5 is, what do you need to focus on to move your career forward? What do you need to uncheck so that you can check something differently and move towards the goal you want to move towards? Big question. One of those ones that makes you go, oh my God, I've got to think about that one. Thank you for joining me on the 30/30 Challenge. Um, day 5. Stay tuned tomorrow for day 6 and more days to come.
