The most common reasons people are unhappy in their jobs? "I'm not being recognised for what I'm putting in" "My manager is always busy and we don't have time to discuss where I'm going next in my career" "I don't know what I need to do to progress" "I don't know how to start a conversation to say I'm unhappy - it's risky!" "I'm just not feeling it anymore" Your company isn't responsible for your future - you are ❤️ If 2023 was the same as 2022 ... 2021 ... Let's have a chat.

🧠 Is your brain feeling squished by all the things? It’s the belt bag on the brain. Otherwise known as the mental load. You know the cognitive weight of work and life logistics bearing on your mind. And it’s strapped onto most women. You’re not the only one looking for the release button. More than half of moms say they take the lead in managing their family and the inner workings of their home with 86% of working women doing the same, according to Motherly’s 2023 State of Motherhood Report and Bright Horizons Modern Family Index. And it's not just knowing who needs to be where (and when), but anticipating needs, planning, decision-making and delegating. It’s the weight of the invisible, logistical load of life. What’s typically not accounted for is the research. The HOW TO of it all. 🎧 It’s the podcast whispering through your earbuds or staying up late with your pals, Google search bar and ChatGPT, to uncover the best sports gear, nap schedule, budgeting hacks or how to get your people to clean their room! Layer in last-minute summer shenanigans, a packed professional plate, school supply purchasing plus a job search?! Whew! You’ve got a mind ready to pack her bags for greener pastures!!

🚀 TIME FOR A NEW CHAPTER - Part 5 🌟 What do I do besides actual work? Hi Linkedin! I wrote earlier that I am actively searching for a new challenge to continue my career journey. But if you know me, you know I never stop and am always up to something. You also might have seen that I sometimes invite you to subscribe to my weekly newsletter or Medium blog. So today, I decided to share a little bit about my "side-project," or my "gig." 📖 Pre-story I am a firm believer in two concepts. I believe that if I want to learn something, I need to read and understand it, apply the knowledge, and share it with others. ❕ When we share - we paraphrase, explain, process, and express - this is exactly when we increase the value of our knowledge. Second, yes, our society is overfilled with the information. We all live in information overload. More than that, we are overloaded with low-quality, unchecked, and often misleading information. That is why I believe that we professionals should increase the quality of information and spread good knowledge with purpose. 🌟 Keeping these two things in mind, I started working on my "Naiman Labs" project last year." I am building a space where anyone can find well-distilled information on getting a job and succeeding in the workplace. I aim to help young professionals, team leaders, and HR professionals succeed and build a better workplace together. What exactly is Naiman Labs? 1️⃣ First of all, it is my weekly newsletter. Short, distilled newsletter with tips and stories on career development and productivity. 2️⃣ Second, it is a Medium long-reads. Long-reads filled with research and deep-dive into #career, #HR, and #productivity. 3️⃣ Third, it's a collection of short videos with the same topics. ⭐ And here's something new: I am developing a set of digital products for jobseekers, team leaders, and anyone who wants to land a job and build their career. I am adding all the links in the 1st comment. Feel free to follow me. I am sharing most of the content is free ;)

#4 Tip for 2024 - Get Uncomfortable to Grow Sad fact, we only grow when we are willing to get a bit uncomfortable. Honestly, I fought this notion for a long, long time. (Probably still do from time to time.) I LIKE being comfortable. Scratch that, I LOVE feeling comfortable. And I greatly prefer NOT feeling uncomfortable. The times I have been willing OR dragged unwillingly into discomfort are the ones where I have experienced the greatest amounts of growth. Professional growth. Personal growth. Spiritual growth. So as we roll, race, or scramble into 2024... I wanted to share two opportunities for you to get uncomfortable in order to GROW. 🚀 FREE Webinar : "Interview with Confidence" on January 18th.

“In order to create change, you must do two things: raise your standards and turn your “shoulds” into “MUSTS.” - Tony Robbins This very much applies to your job search. Setting standards for your job search now sets you up for long-term success. Being clear on your standards for your ideal work environment is the key to landing a job you'll truly love. I unpacked why having standards in my "Job Search Lounge" last week: → Defining your work culture must-haves: What kind of team dynamic do you thrive in? Collaborative? Creative? Fast-paced? →Knowing your ideal company: Startups? Established corporations? Mission-driven organizations? Identifying your preference can narrow your search. →Project preferences: What kind of work excites you? Are you a problem-solver or a process optimizer? Understanding your interests helps you target the right projects. →Managerial matchmaking: Do you prefer a hands-on mentor or a more independent leadership style? Knowing your preferences sets you up for success. →Compensation considerations: Salary, benefits, and work-life balance all play a role. Define your needs and stick to them! The clearer you are on your work standards, the easier it is to find a job that's a perfect fit!  Watch the reel to learn more, and share your non-negotiables in the comments! ⬇️ Tired of the job search solo act?
