4 Ways to embrace growth in your career
Mental healthHealth TipsOctober 11, 2022
The average person spends a third of their life at work. Here are ways to make the ~90,000 hours worthwhile for your professional growth and success.
1. Mindset is everything
When failure happens – as it sometimes will – embracing a growth mindset by viewing the experience as positive rather than negative will allow for growth and positive change.
2. Expand your knowledge
Continuously learning throughout your career affords you the knowledge and resources to expand your skills and enhance your abilities.
3. Accept feedback
Feedback helps nurture a growth mindset. Be bold and ask for feedback (positive or negative) to learn and grow within your career.
4. Invest in your well-being
A significant factor in growing within your career is taking care of yourself (physically, emotionally, and mentally). You can’t thrive in your work if your body isn’t thriving.
