info_outline#506: Ok, so 2024 is knocking at the door and I just learned a new word.
Actually 2 new words.
First, my kids taught me the word "rizz" which means something about flirting or having game. Lo and behold rizz is Time Magazine's word of the year! I couldn't believe it!
The second is "career pathing", as in the act of figuring out your path.
I never really knew this term existed, but it makes sense.
The core problem we have in "career pathing" is that individuals have much more autonomy in and responsibility for creating their own career paths now. That responsibility is often unaided, and untethered to any organization, industry or way of working.
Honestly this kind of research makes me yawn because I don't care about the theory, I want to know HOW we take action to build these skills
This is why The UnBREAKable Community exists - to support careerists making bold decisions in the arena, and not on the sidelines.
So I want to share 3 decision making frameworks we just talked about on our group call this week.
