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 thinkโ€”๐˜ง๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จย your mind to focus on what you truly want to do, rather than what you ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅย to do.

The real shift happens when we move from ๐—ช๐—œ๐—œ๐—™๐—  (๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜โ€™๐˜€ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—บ๐—ฒ?) to ๐—ช๐—–๐—œ๐—•๐—ง๐—ง๐—ง (๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—œ ๐—ฏ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ?).
When you focus on the value you bring, everything changes for the better.

Ask yourself:
โœจ What are your proudest moments over the past 10 years?
โœจ What jobs did you love and why?
โœจ Whatโ€™s your โ€œsecret sauceโ€?
โœจ If money wasnโ€™t 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.
