![]() ![]() If you really want that dream, you will reach it, otherwise you didn’t want it that much. I’ve seen way too many unfinished dreams. At the end of the day you’ll be making them a better leader, too. If you’re achieving your results in your role, they won’t stop you. Set your goal, make the plan, get the buy-in, and go for it. Ok, ok, you say, how do I show that I can do it to get to that desired next level? It’s simple – do it! How many times we’ve said, “Oh if it was me I would do this or that”. With this approach, you actually achieve the opposite: a virtual stamp to your virtual grade book saying you’re immature. Again, I’ve seen many talented young professionals who were banging their hands on the table to get a promotion because they believe they should already be at that level. Life would be a piece of cake if it was the other way around. First you work hard, and then you get the reward. But be ready for a challenging journey ahead because things don’t happen just because we deserve it. If you accept the fact that we’ve all been there wanting to change the world and that you have a lot to learn even if you don’t know why and how, you can become the one who finally changes the world for the better. No, I don’t mean you should sit back and relax – quite the opposite actually. Things don’t happen immediately most of the time, so be patient.By speaking to your senior colleagues or leads you will not only learn a lot, but build your internal network too which will become a strength and it might also help you land in awesome projects and opportunities. That said, don’t try and pretend you’re interested because that’s when you find yourself in that “what a stupid question I asked” situation. If your interest is honest, people will see it. Don’t be afraid that your question might not be a killer one (I made myself a fool quite a few times trying to ask The question that would blow everyone away). Be curious, speak to your senior colleagues or leaders, and ask questions.So if you’re not quite sure, don’t rush it. It wasn’t until I turned 29 that I realized I really wanted to be in HR. Now it’s absolutely fine not knowing what you want to be at a young age. To top this, he spoke to me as he was interested in joining HR, and it turned out he also spoke to two other leads about wanting to join their functions. When a junior sales representative told me that he’d done sales for a year and he now knows how to sell, so wants to do something else, I was speechless for a split second. People often come to me for career advice. There’s no such thing as being too ambitious but don’t overestimate your experience.So here’s my advice to help you along the journey of dreaming bigger and building the awesome career that you’ve always dreamed of: And as much as I’m a big fan of personal development through experience I also like to believe that not every learning has to come from our own mistakes. These might be well necessary to allow that individual to mature and grow (like my experience did for me) but I wish I knew these when I was younger. ![]() One of these patterns I’ve noticed is young, ambitious people making the same mistakes early in their career. You would think people in different cultures speaking different languages must have different mindsets too, yet I’ve seen not one but many similar patterns over the years. Nine years is a long time, especially when you live and work in 4 different countries over 2 continents in 5 different roles. So I found an amazing company and embarked on an exciting journey in HR, which allowed me not only to grow in my career but in my personality too. I thought by just dreaming about it and visualizing it, my dream would materialize by the time I reached the ground.įirst, it gave me the biggest punch in the face I ever got and made me realize how much I still have to learn. ![]() I was so sure I was going to succeed that I quit my job (that, by the way, paid for my business school) and jumped off of the proverbial cliff. I had very little experience but of course at the time I didn’t realize just how little.
