Getting ready for the next big step

The promotion process – manoeuvring your way through it successfully is hopefully an experience you will encounter on more than one occasion throughout your career. You’ve put in the hard graft to get here; shown you have what it takes and earned the right to be in the running.

Then comes that all-important call. You’ve done it! Goal achieved. Tick. So what now? Celebrate? Of course. And then what?

Have you considered how you’re going to show up now that you find yourself in this space? Perhaps you’ve taken the leap from Manager to Director or Partner. How will things develop or change for you?

Who am I?

Brands, brands, brands. We’re surrounded by them. Every day. Everywhere, a brand or many brands vie for our attention. As I write, literally within a twelve inch radius to me, sitting on a train, I have 7 prominent brand names clearly visible.

If I asked you to think of some, or notice what’s next to you right now, you’re probably visualising a symbol or design of a famous name. There is a habit of championing our favourites, and then there are those we choose to avoid (for all sorts of reasons).

Upwards & sideways – do both count?

How is your career panning out these days? Are you currently where you want to be? Are you living up to your own expectations? We have a tendency, understandably, to plan our careers in an upward trajectory, however if things don’t quite go to plan, naturally it can be disappointing.

How about sideways for a change?

Rehearsing different perspectives (in their shoes)

Problems. Whenever we have one and are perhaps feeling a little stuck when it comes to finding a solution, it occurs to me that it’s often because we only look at it through our own eyes. There is of course always another perspective. In fact, there can be several.

Acting as if…

If we want to be great at something, we learn to do it, right? As the nation’s favourite Meerkat, Aleksandr would say – ‘simples’. Or is it really that straight forward? What if our brain tells us otherwise and the all-consuming doubt starts to creep in? ‘I’m not sure I can do it’. ‘That’s not me’. ‘It’s too difficult’.
