An Environmental Hazard Dangerous to Your Career We'd had a lovely meeting--a senior executive, me, and a high potential hungry for fulfilling work. When the high potential left, the senior exec said, "She's a firecracker! She doesn't grasp her value in the marketplace and how powerful her position for negotiating exactly what she wants." It was true. She didn't. She was experiencing an environmental hazard dangerous to her career--work that no longer enlivened her. Instead, it was depleting her sense of professional vitality and worth. What to do? Assuming all else is in good order--your health, your personal life, etc… , the quickest remedy is to get out and about in the marketplace with interesting people. Coffee, lunch, association meetings, golf, etc. Notice what engages you, where you are naturally drawn. You may already be doing this. But are you doing it with your future in mind? With regular forays into the marketplace scoping out what everyone else is doing, you will have a dawning realization or a light-bulb moment--either source of illumination is fine--about where your unique interests, talents, and perspective can bring a solution to a company's or boss's needs. (A collateral and not insignificant benefit is that you will find your immediate work more enjoyable, or at a minimum, more tolerable.) Without even having changed jobs yet, you are taking definitive steps to reducing toxins and creating a healthier career environment that leads to a healthy job environment. Now, those are pretty good returns on your "getting out there with your future in mind" investment! Beth Hand © Copyright 2007, Beth Hand.
