That was the question I posed at the The Women's Network TCD event, where we explored the path to finding your dream career.
The answers to this question reveal more than you thinkโ๐ง๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ช๐ฏ๐จย your mind to focus on what you truly want to do, rather than what you ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฅย to do.
The real shift happens when we move from ๐ช๐๐๐๐ (๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐โ๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐ถ๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐บ๐ฒ?) to ๐ช๐๐๐๐ง๐ง๐ง (๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ?).
When you focus on the value you bring, everything changes for the better.
Ask yourself:
โจ What are your proudest moments over the past 10 years?
โจ What jobs did you love and why?
โจ Whatโs your โsecret sauceโ?
โจ If money wasnโt a factor, what work would you choose to do?
Never ask for a job, pay rise, or promotion without a clear proposal on how you can help the company succeed.
