Sometimes children can be an unexpected and innocent source of great career change advice.
Case in point.
When my wife asked how went day 1 of my IT consulting gig, my daughter aka Princess Smiley (she’s crazy about Miley Cyrus) came straight out with:
“Do you actually do stuff on your computer at work?”
Wow!
Now there’s a reflective question worth chewing on for a while.
And it made me come up with 3 of my own.
- Where’s the value in what you do?
- What do you enjoy about it?
- Do you want to keep on doing it?
Listen up!
Sometimes you don’t need to ask – feedback is all around you!
Are you bold enough to answer these questions?
I’ll post my thoughts at a later date.
