One of my favourite episodes yet on the Shameless Careers podcast is out - with Karim Chedid, Managing Director and Investment Strategy Lead, EMEA.
We discuss a refreshingly simple - but shockingly profound - idea for this day and age:
“If you find yourself having doubts about your career track, you’d be surprised by HOW MUCH can be done within your exact current seat to make it feel closer to 100% fulfilling”.
Why?
So often, at the very first sign of dissatisfaction, the human mind jumps to: “BIG CHANGE IS NEEDED. URGENTLY.”
When, in fact, the opposite is needed - take a “microscope,” and patiently investigate: “What is it, SPECIFICALLY, that is missing right now?”
And more often than not, that one thing is surprisingly fixable from right where you are:
✅Changing how you do your job (e.g. bringing in more creativity and storytelling, just like Karim did)
✅Seeking out new experiences and exposure (taking on new projects, joining company boards)
✅ Etc. etc.
And EVEN if a bigger change is needed, at least you will know what it is exactly that you are looking for.
Einstein once said (and we trust Einstein): “If I had one hour to save the world, I would spend 55 minutes defining the problem and five minutes solving it.”
So why not listen to him - and to the tips from Karim and myself on this podcast episode :)
