Questions from manager and the biggest skill
Plus: Life tip for growth in your career
5 Raw and Real One-Liners for a Happier Work Life
Life tip for growth (in any career, at any age):
Stay away from energy draining people.
Rinse and repeat.Good work isn’t always about money.
It is about who you are.
And how much you care.
That takes care of money in bigger ways than you had imagined.If your manager is asking you questions does not mean they are not being polite.
Learn the art of interpreting messages the right way by CHOOSING to believe that they are questioning your work. Not you.Career lesson on kindness:
If someone reaches out to you for help and you can, it helps to put your ego aside for a moment and help them out.
You have NO idea how much they need it.The biggest skill you will ever learn in life is:
- Not writing
- Not learning to use ChatGPT
- Not mastering the art of saying no
Rather knowing when to communicate your ask and request on an email, instead of wanting to meet in person or on a video call.
PS: If you have been a regular reader of Raw and Real, you know how we have been sharing stories. However, what I have realised is when people are reading emails, they want to glide through them quickly. Hence, this change in the format.
I will of course, try to share tiny stories here in these one-liners. However, if you’d continue to receive stories like before, you can follow me on my daily blog. I’ll also link up some of them here, just in case you’d want more convenience :)
PPS: Change is so hard. But if I as a business owner listen to my customers, I think I am winning. After all, we are all on the same side, isn’t it? Here’s to having more fun, in this version of Raw and Real.
