Getting there and Staying There is a cycle: once you get there, you stay there until it is time to move, to get to a new there.- To accelerate the cycle home in on four points of agility: aware/alert? Adjust? Align and act.
- Getting there is attaining your professional objective—a new position, an interesting assignment or a role in a project that can be a stepping stone to your next achievement.
- Staying there is success—as you define it. It is not a destination it is your choice of action at this stage of your career qnd above it all it means staying involved.
- Getting There and Staying isn’t about “right” answers, it’s about asking the right questions. Set aside time on a regular basis to take stock and ask yourself (and perhaps others) questions to guide you in where you are currently and where you want to go.
- Make it a habit of knowing exactly where you are at any given point in your career be alert to the hurdles and the opportunities of your current situation/status so that you can act accordingly and appropriately.
- Be able to powerfully articulate what is unique about you and how you add value especially to key stakeholders.
- Be committed to learning new things and be actively curious. Set aside time on a
regular basis to do so. - Be mindful and engaged. Seek new vistas.
- Always surround yourself with people who make your life meaningful and happy.
Have a great week,
