They Hope You Fail, And I Do Too
What do you do when you can’t meet the goals you’ve set for yourself in your career? When your mentors leave and don’t follow up with you. When your personal life derails your professional one. When failure follows you closely as if your downfall is a PR that was approved without your knowledge. You pivot. Even if it feels like you’re sinking. You learn how to swim well enough to give yourself a fighting chance. Even if it means going against the career norms of those around you, figuring out what’s wrong, testing for a solution, and if it means doing something like staying put in your organization and making your mark. Yes, it could even mean it’s best not to job-hop in your current situation *gasp*. Let’s get real and talk about refactoring your career after falling short of your dreams.
