Get ahead the right way
Club|January 2023
We all know the age-old saying it's not about what you know, but all about who you know'. Set that aside, let your integrity shine through and climb the career ladder without stepping on any toes
Get ahead the right way

Your current career might be one you've been working in for many years, or maybe you're just getting back into the swing of things again. Either way, there are some side roads that shouldn't be explored, but there are also lots of mazes to help us to reach our career goals without stepping on anyone's toes. These are the necessities to carry as you trek along:

GO FOR THE GOAL

An ambition may have ignited within you at 3 AM (always the early mornings), but this ambition needs to be nurtured and pushed to action. Identify a clear 'why' to your goals to understand the ins and outs of achieving it: Will it energise your work life? Will it fulfil you personally? Does it align with your core values and visions? You should devote time and energy into understanding and planning the goal to make a strong start.
