New Book: Great Work, Great Career Part 2
Over the holidays I was able to reflect more on what I learned from Great Work, Great Career, which I read before the holiday.
I wanted to share with you a bit more about what I learned…
After writing my contribution statement I moved on to the next section about cause.
I reflected on my cause for a while which is something I try to do at the start of each new year. I know my cause and it is deeply personal. My personal mission statement and my professional cause are aligned and feed each other. Do you know your cause? Have you written a mission statement?
And the last section was about Building a Village. I really liked the idea of Building a Village. I feel that this is one of my talents and I realize now what else I need to do to strengthen my village. I learned things here that I could do right now (see me write this blog post? That’s one of the things they recommend) and make deposits into the EBA (Emotional Bank Account).
My acid test of a really good book is did it cause me to do something? Or cause me to see the world differently, shift my paradigm?
Well this book far exceeded my acid test. I’m still thinking about how I can apply what I learned. I loved, loved , loved it. But then that’s part of my contribution: Be a cheerleader!
Have you read the book? What are your thoughts on it? We would love to hear from you.
