Pause… and think long-term
Within educational organizations this is the final countdown until the start of school. Everyone is leaning in. The adrenaline is high. But remember your career is a marathon, not a sprint to the middle of next year. Take a few minutes to think long-term about your career and what you are building.
In his recent HBR blog Nathaniel Koloc shared some great advice: http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2013/08/build_a_career_worth_having.html
“1 Your career is a set of stepping stones, not a linear trajectory.
2 Seek legacy, mastery and freedom – in that order.
3 Treat your career like a grand experiment…
So if you’re one of the many who find themselves on the path to meaningful work — remember to enjoy the journey, don’t give up, and don’t settle.”
I hope everyone has a great year!
