Part 1

Lead yourself with purpose

The first part of the book is about how we grow our careers through a series of decisions, rather than a pre-determined plan. It draws on many of my own experiences, along with those of others with whom I have worked. We each have our comfort zones and inflection points, and we each seek different types of risks and rewards. We have to understand our strengths, use them well, and build our resilience along the way. There are always trade-offs and, having made a decision, we should not look back and feel guilty about what might have been. Sometimes, too, we engage in activities that reinforce our sense of guilt to others—we might not even realise it, but we need to stop doing it. We need to own our achievements and know our own story, and that particularly applies to women. We should know how to ‘get noticed’ in a good way, and glean a few tips from a search consultant.
