A standard career trajectory in our VUCA world - will inevitably have a situation where you resigned from a toxic culture for a better prospect, where you or someone you know was laid off & where you boomeranged back into the very place you left. All that is just events. Things we need do to keep ourselves & our families afloat. Now lets move all that aside for a minute. Outside of these events - a large majority of your career trajectory will be infuenced with the nature, texture & content of our conversations. ➡️How we show up. ➡️Who we show up with. ➡️What do we talk about when we show up. ➡️How one way or 2-way is the conversation. ➡️...and so on Our lives fail or succeed one conversation at a time. So get in there & make every conversation you are part of a memorable one either for yourself or the listener.
It's true how our conversations impact not only our trajectory but also that of those around us. This perspective highlights the responsibility we have to elevate the conversations we're part of.
In short, the relationships we have will have the greatest effect on where we end up.
So true!
So true!

4moA super post and quote Pallavi Sidhra, ICF Credentialed Coach. I'm also a big believer that skills and knowledge can only get you so far and how our self-awareness (both internal and external) and our communication and networking skills (or relationship-building skills) become pivotal in our career trajectory. Investing in these areas is very prudent. Cheers
