October 4, 2022

In case you missed Liz Mayer’s inspiring presentation on How to Build a Career that Serves Your Whole-Self, here are a few key takeaways to think about:

  1. We need unconditional confidence and trust in ourselves. Truly love yourself.
  2. Your thoughts about yourself are your real business.
  3. What do you want on your tombstone? Think about your legacy and who you want to impact.
  4. What are the tangibles that must be present for you to be happy?
  5. Being comfy is false security. You have to be scared to get stronger.
  6. With whom do you want to work?
  7. Work is an opportunity to connect.
  8. Each month, meet with someone new and help each other.
  9. Every talent needs an entourage who challenges and supports you.
