Key Takeaways in this Episode:

  1. Setting objectives is a crucial part of career development and should align with both personal and company goals. It’s important to regularly reassess and adjust objectives to ensure they are still relevant and impactful.

  2. Feedback is essential for growth and success. Actively seeking feedback and having open conversations with managers and colleagues can help identify areas for improvement and ensure objectives are on track.

  3. It’s important to find a company that aligns with your values and supports your growth. If an organization does not value your contributions or align with your values, it may be time to consider other opportunities.
