GE went the extra mile with little touches that made a huge difference, including the most delicious ice cream bars that we could get it any hours as we worked through our studies. I thought that subsequently in early merger integration that I was living the MBA case studies. Being forced out of my comfort zone on team projects continued my career as I felt supported and hurt. I was allowed to fail. I was allowed to Try things trolls try presenting trying to pitch.

Forging your own way through feedback, growth and career trajectory can feel lonely without your own Crotonville.

By the time you've reached mid-career, you likely have a wealth of experience and expertise under your belt. You've carved out a niche for yourself, earning a reputation as the go-to person for certain skills or knowledge. However, if you haven't been actively advocating for yourself, it can come as a surprise to your colleagues or management when you express a desire for growth.

As Mel Robbins reminds us, "no one coming to save you."

I’ve edited it for my work with clients “no one is going to save your career but you.” While your colleagues may value your contributions, they may not always be aware of your career aspirations or the direction in which you want to grow.

Are you ready to take action backed with a deep knowing?

Our genetics bless and curse us when our aging nerves create deeper and deeper tracks. As we age, we become set into a pace that will lessen as our cells regenerate. Living a slow life, isn’t anything I’ll sign up for anytime soon. My mind works quickly, and in slow mode turns into mush. Having led large teams, I realize every pace is needed to keep progress well rounded.

The constant unsolicited advice to slow down, is not longer sticking. Has anyone ever told a male counterpart in my generation to slow down? I have never heard that feedback given to anyone but a female.

Slowness isn’t in my genetics, so please understand that although I live in a winter climate from December to March, like the rest of the Northern Hemisphere, mine looks different than yours. As the sun sets earlier, I write more, I workout differently, my mediations are midday, but I’m still active.

There are my personal benefits to moving fast, thinking fast and feeling fast. In honor of cheetahs, please stop telling me to slow down.

I’ve been going gray since I was 30, my colorist gasping in the chair the week of my 30th birthday. It’s an relatively quick fix for me, the highlighting and gray coverage coloring I use to mask a silver fox look I’m not ready to embrace. I have accepted that it will pop up every few weeks and I make an appointment to get it back to my (natural) color.

What if imposter syndrome is that gray hair of your career, inevitable for 90% of us after 40? Are you willing to find a way to mask it even if you know it might get louder from time to time?

Embark on The 24 Hour Retreat to unlock the feeling of GOLD & discover what you want for 2024. It’s in there—that golden light.

A women’s retreat is like that murky July ocean. You aren’t sure who you will meet, why they are attending, why they need to be there or who they came with. Social awareness is at a tipping point, hoping you’ll find a new chosen family member. Is this true of work, a party or a school volunteer event, too?

What if adulthood, midcareer, we looked at our work or career or life as the hot wheels car everyone wants. What if we just went for it, like a kid’s elbows? Then we’d be bored and rude instead of aligned and thoughtful as we all hope to be in 2024.

We aren’t terribly great at rest in the 21st century.

I wonder what our agricultural ancestors would think of all of us ‘working on’ resting as an activity on our calendars. Time blocking rest would be laughable to hunters and gatherers when their use of natural sunrises and sunsets, the planting and harvesting seasons significantly helped them regulate sleeping and eating as a cycle every day.

Their shock would multiply with the ways social media content focuses on nutrition tips as they only ate to be strong enough to harvest and plant. Sadly, we eat to nourish our sitting at desks or in cars, running ourselves and our kids ragged for participation trophies.
