I haven’t done these in a while, but I thought I’d share a few more of these summaries.
Shall we start right in?
The stratified work of big name investment banks, consultants, law firms and fancy doctoring is increasingly veering away from the actual contributions of people who have an impact that they can measure and be proud of.
If that sort of work is for you, go for it. But do it with intent.
If not, then perhaps it makes sense to start on the work right this minute. Not with a full certification or permit, but simply creating the sort of change you seek to make, in small steps, right now.
PS: And if you happen to have a couple of post-graduate degrees, don’t worry about them.
Even when it’s possible to avoid a choice, it may make sense to make one.
PS: You’re telling me, buddy.
Just because criticism is on offer doesn’t mean you have to seek it out or even listen to it.
PS: Are you talkin’ to me?
Who is undermining your brand?
In every case, people are just doing what the boss permits/encourages. Ultimately, the brand is the story we tell, and sooner or later, it’s up to the person who did something that touched the customer.
We can influence the future, but we can’t pretend it doesn’t exist.
PS: Well, we can try. 🙂
