The Big Thought
We’re all looking for that silver bullet, right?The thing or things that’ll let us accelerate past everyone else to reach our aspirations in record time.Sadly, life doesn’t work that way, but we can recognise the key habits, behaviours and skills that’ll enable career success in the long term.Especially with lifelong employability.That’s not a phrase which is used often in the careers game. But, it’s what we’re all aiming for when you think about it.We’re all just trying to build the talent stack (my term for all your skills, experience, habits and behaviours rolled into one) that’ll give us that code which enables us to keep being employed.
This is not about staying in one career or being with one employer.
This is about building the talent stack which allows each of us to adapt to the ever-changing world, thus enabling us to be employable. You don’t want to be stuck and stale when it comes to career success.
This is something I preached in detail in the How To Win In The Careerverse playbook.As a learning and performance consultant, I spend (probably) too much time reading research on high-performing people, places and how this translates into the modern workplace.Something that I’ve been obsessing over the last year is the 3-5 skills, habits and behaviours that modern organisations need from their people.And, how each of us can build these to navigate the careers landscape today and tomorrow.
For you video nerds, I unpack all of this here.
Content that has caught my attention and might interest you too.
Sick of seeing all the posts telling you to ditch traditional careers if you want to be successful and fulfilled? Yeah, me too! I find it to be a lot of BS and generally aimed at getting me to buy some rubbish from someone with no expertise who claims they know the way. Join me as I explore 9 people who found success and fulfilment in a traditional 9-5, why Simon Sineks famous talk was about more than companies and how the obvious is now the non-obvious.
