I also take a large piece of the workload off their shoulders so they can focus on acing their interviews and spending their free time doing what they love. A recent client shared the following remarks after working together, and I am honored by their generous review.

Simply put, passion in work stems from caring—caring about the bigger picture (and consequently smaller picture) work you’re doing and being personally invested in or motivated by its mission.

Setting realistic expectations for what work/life integration looks like is the first step, but the key to making it a reality is taking actionable steps towards the life you desire. If you’ve read all the articles under the sun about work/life balance and are still feeling helpless and unsure of how to practically make it your reality, keep reading.

Whether you reached all of last year’s goals, or you’re adding them to this year’s list again, setting intentional time in the new year to plan the next steps on your career path is a proven way to gain direction and feel empowered to tackle new challenges and opportunities.

Your tribe is what makes up your network. These unique individuals are the people you share something in common with and who want to see you succeed. I encourage you to set a goal in the new year to strengthen these relationships and continue to build your tribe.

Relationship building is all about establishing and deepening connections with others. We are relational beings, and it is through deepening our relationships that we grow and experience more fulfillment in life. The connections, introductions, and promotions that come from networking are a product of something greater: they are the product of a relationship that was built and tended to.
