So many lessons learned on this. What’s interesting for me is having had the experience of being on both sides: being the presenter and being the audience. There are some definite key things to do….and not to do.
Lately, it seems I’ve been talking to more people who are really frustrated at work…a mix of being on projects that are going nowhere, lack of accountability for missed dates or incompetence, fatigue at “flat is the new up” as a way to justify no increases in years of clear inflation. So, some lessons learned on the age old question we all face during our career: “should I stay or should I go?”
I read something interesting where a well known financial expert said “Spend what you need, not what you can afford.” That resonated with me. There’s a lot that’s been published about wants and needs. A lot of financial experts talk about the importance of distinguishing the two….take care of your needs first. But how do you distinguish on wants? So this twist caught my interest.
