Climbing the Corporate Ladder?
Good on you. Go get it.
One snippet of advice…
Focus less on what’s above the ladder.
Learn to love the ladder itself.
The ladder is comprised of your peers, your clients, and the team you lead. Treat them well and you’ll have a champion network who will root for you no matter where the ladder takes you. Or takes them.
Here’s the thing:
It’s often while you are climbing one ladder that a trusted peer from your past presents you with your next ladder.
So worry less about climbing.
Care more about connecting.
The real rewards are already right there with you on each rung.
It’s not, “the pursuit of happiness”.
It’s, “the pursuit IS happiness”.
