You work SOOO hard. You get it done on time, every time. And your work is good…DAMN GOOD. And yet…
Do you ever work extremely hard to complete a project at the office, maybe sacrificing time cozying up with your partner on the couch and missing your kid’s game in order to get it done?
You’ve been doing everything that the experts and the books have told you to – leaning in like crazy – and still not advancing your career.
Have you ever stayed in a job situation you knew wasn’t right for you, just because it was easier? Even if it was soul-sucking, it was just easier to stay than to do the entire ‘process’ that you figured leaving would require.
