A newer, but now dear friend of mine received an outstanding promotion today, which may well change his/her professional career path, and in a time of recession (recession is a dirty word but a reality, particularly here in the Midwest) we must step back and ponder, why, what was it, that he/she did or didn’t do to get promoted in a down economy?
In my humble opinion, he/she (you will all know whom I am referring to in due course) put themselves out there, and Reinvented Themselves, Absent Fear. How many times has Madonna Reinvented herself, well, a lot, absent Fear, and with really big pay off’s. Having come from a corporate environment that operated under the fear program, I completely want to help anyone who will listen and abolish that concept.
You too can get promoted, in today’s recessionary environment, if you will put yourself out there, be bold, tell it like it is, to whoever will listen to you. Be a Change Agent, if you are timid, practice here, on this blog, no one is judging you , try a post, try a comment, and see what happens, you may just ignite that spark!
