10 Lessons LearnedCollection of experiences that help
balancing my professional and private life
Enjoy your work!
Either you like what you’re doing or you’re probably in the wrong place.
Help the organization put you in the right spot where your skills are needed and you
enjoy what you do.
Follow a career strategy
What is your mission and vision? Define a career strategy based on it.
Don’t just do what you’re asked for... Help the organization help you.
Embrace a challenge
When you’re given a challenge, embrace it so that you may feel the exhilaration of
victory.Don’t be afraid to fail in the little things,
but make sure you learn so that you win in the big things.
Work smarter, not harder
Working too much not only will wear you out but also hinder you from surpassing
competition.The secret is to work smarter (better and
faster results).
Walk the Talk
The best way to gain trust and recognition from your colleagues is to walk along the
path with them.Lead by example.
Practice what you preach.
Be humble and diligent
Don’t be ashamed to use the words thank you, please and sorry. Everybody (from the
cleaning staff up to the CEO) deserves equal treatment.
Focus on serving others rather than demanding to be served.
Be honest and truthful
Speak the truth. Say No when you have to (and always try
to provide alternatives).If you don’t know, just shut up!
Don’t talk cheap and go creating false expectations!
Put a smile on your face
Smile and maintain a good attitude.It’ll help keeping a friendlier and cooperative work environment.
Communicate correctly
Privilege verbal communication over e-mails. First speak, then record it in writing.
The minutes you save by sending an e-mail can easily turn into hours, days or even weeks of delays and unnecessary hassle due to misunderstandings!
Spend some quality time
Occasionally take a break. Give yourself some time to rest, to be imaginative and productive.At the end of the day, avoid taking work to home. Enjoy life with your friends and family.
Thank you!
