The 10X Career Show

Everyone is eagerly awaiting to have a fresh start in 2021.

While the excitement has been there every year-end, this year it seems to be a lot more amplified.

While we are very eagerly looking forward to welcome 2021 with enormous hope, let’s take this opportunity to recall the lessons from 2020 in this episode. It is imperative we don’t ignore these, rather embrace them so we have a splendid 2021.

The pandemic has changed everything in 2020, and careers have been no exception.

People began to work from home, many had to take pay cuts and many others lost their jobs too. I sincerely empathize with everyone going tough times.

There is something interesting to note, however. While on one hand going has got tough, on the other hand - it has been a fabulous year for some. I have come across people (and a lot of my coachees) who have had great career moves. Some have got a job that paid them up to 75% more, some have got unexpected promotions, while some others have used this opportunity to get out of the rut and start on their own.

Do you want to know what made the difference?

Coming up in this episode

As we step into the last month of the year, I am sure, everyone would have started the countdown to bid adieu to the year!

But hey, how about using the last few days of this year to finish strong and gear up for a fresh set of 365 opportunities?
