BE CAREFUL BRIAN! WHAT YOU DO IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS WILL FORM YOUR REPUTATION AND THAT WILL STICK WITH YOU FOREVER IN HERE
This is what a manager once told me in my first week of a new job. He had brought me for coffee. He had been very friendly. But this phrase is what I remember most from the conversation.
You get a job because you impressed at interview, well done! Now the question becomes:
- How can you keep your brand shiny and perform when in post?
- How can you make the best choices to add value and show what you are capable of?
- How can you play the right cards at the right time?
- Let’s be clear. It’s ok to just be ok at your work!
But if you are someone who wants more than that, someone who wants to maximise your impact in the first 3 months of a new job or someone who wants to strategically and authentically work towards promotion – maybe career coaching is for you?
