It has been a dynamic time in the tech industry over the past five years or so and it appears the future will continue to be a bumpy ride. Here are a few concepts that have helped me navigate the changing landscape.
🤔Identity – Consider how much of your identity is bound up in your title and your job. Building up a multifaceted identity will make you more resilient.
🧘🏽Sustainability – This is a long-haul environment. Sprinting will burn you out. You need to pace yourself.
🔮Clarity – Understand what is actually import and prioritize that. There is too much to do everything.
🗣️Connection – Build a support network you can share your fears and struggles with.
🏃🏽➡️Proactive – Play to win not to avoid losing. Actively pursue changes to take yourself where you want / need to be.
🙌🏽Acceptance – Try not to worry about the many things beyond your control. Your worry won’t change anything for the better.
