Progress Report - 036-045

Periodically, I check back and highlight the last few episodes to remind you of things you can work on to help set you up for career success and this most recent group has a lot of solid content.

Episodes 036 to 040 was a five-part series that covered the Individual Development plan in detail.  It starts with an Introduction that emphasizes the importance of the IDP and is followed by episodes that describe the key sections: the Vision and Roadmap, the Assessment and Next Steps, and the Action Plan and Successes.  The series wraps up with an episode that describes The Process you can use to integrate the IDP into your personal career growth.

After the series on the IDP, Episode 041 covers Gaining Responsibility During Company Change.  As many companies are restructuring their workforce, you can take advantage of those changes to strengthen your position and set yourself up for future advancement.  This episode outlines several ways that you make your own luck by leveraging this change.

Episode 042 addresses Mental Health.  Taking care of your mental health is more important than any work that you do.  If you find yourself struggling with mental stress, reach out to one of the resources I covered in this episode.

Next up I cover how creating a Personal Brand isn't just for social media influencers in Episode 043.  By building a reputation that makes you unique within your company, you be come and expert and make it easier for your leaders to position you for advancement.

I wrap this group up with Episode 045 that covers Making the Most of Return to Office.  As the workforce moves towards requiring staff to be in the office at least part time, I give some tips on how to make best use of your in-office hours.
