Nurture Your Career, Be Happier at Work, and Unlock the Secrets to Workplace Success
Do you feel discouraged and lost at work? You may be worried about falling behind while others seem to effortlessly get ahead. You're tired of being micromanaged, wondering what the heck your boss is thinking, and worrying about being blindsided or criticized. You're doubting your next steps and may be losing confidence because of the constant negativity from your colleagues or boss.
You Have More Control Than You Think
It’s no fun to slog into work, wondering how you will get through the day, and dream about telling your boss you quit.
I truly believe that once you get clear on your strengths and goals, you can take charge of your career and set the course for your future. You can actually make your job support you as you reach your goals.
When I became a supervisor, I felt like I was given the keys to a secret room. All the junk that was hidden in it burst out and scattered across the floor. It was eye opening to see different people’s work styles and overall approach.
There are certain actions and behaviors that separate the top performers from the rest. I remember thinking, "Why doesn't anyone talk about this stuff?" These are all things that can be learned.
I've worked for small businesses and startups, nonprofits, and the government. I've led high-profile projects, worked with large and small groups, and managed teams. All the while, I've observed and mastered the tricks to making sense out of work. As a supervisor, I enjoyed the process of mentoring, hiring, and working with people on their professional development so much that I decided to focus on that full time and create Communicate to Thrive.
