CAREER PATH WISDOM

PATHWISE NEWS

Welcome to September! The summer holiday season is winding down, the kids are back in school, and work is invariably picking up again in the push to meet 2022 goals by the end of the year. Now is a good time to make sure you and your manager are clear on your remaining priorities and expectations for 2022, so that you are well-positioned for end-of-year reviews in a few months. Don't leave that to chance!

We've added several new articles to our website as well as profiles of Brene Brown and Brian Tracy. For our members, you should have received our most recent book summary (Brene Brown's Dare to Lead) by email in the past few days. We'll have a discussion of the book this month, along with a more general office hours session with one of our coaches.

LET'S TALK NETWORKS

Referrals are great not just for the individual hired but for the hiring manager as well. (And if you're the one providing the referral, and you work in the same company, you may also get a referral award.)

Read more about the importance of referrals in our LinkedIn post.

YOU NEED TO OWN YOUR CAREER

No one else is as well-qualified or motivated as you to guide your path.

You'll undoubtedly get help and advice along the way - from family, friends, colleagues, mentors, managers, senior leaders in your company, Human Resources, etc. - but you're going to live your career, and you need to own it.

Everyone else is just a source of input, and sometimes they're not good sources of input.

Are you looking for more work/life balance? Nancy Collamer for Forbes tells you three things you can do now to achieve it. 

Read this post by Gayle Draper, PathWise Advisor and Career Coach, and her reflection on Daniel Goleman  who wrote his seminal book Emotional Intelligence over 25 years ago. 

He provided a well-researched framework for a topic most of us had at best only somewhat grasped up until that point. He made the concept commonplace, and now we speak of EQ as if we’ve known it all along.

But what’s behind EQ and how does it relate to IQ?
