Rebalancing Your Career in Less than 30 Minutes #37

Podcast Highlights:

• Bike tires rely on spokes to keep them balanced and "true".
• An imbalanced career is like a bike tire that isn't "true"; it's imbalanced, unsafe, and keeps you from finishing well.
• Our careers change, which is why we need to evaluate our careers with each new season.
• It's better to fix an imbalanced career now and be delayed than to go a long time on an imbalanced career trajectory.
• There are five spokes that balance your career:
  • The Work you do
  • The Company you work
  • The Compensation you earn
  • The Team you work with
  • The Relationship you have with your boss
• Take the time to grade each "spoke" of your career with a green light, yellow light, or red light.
• Get feedback from those closest to you to find where the balance is present or missing in your career.
