Who You Are Vs. What You Do
For so many of us, our entire worth, self-image, and life is based on what we do for other people, and this can be disappointing, especially when we are never doing enough. We often spend a lot of time around our careers, and when we frame our identities around what we do for others, we start to lose the perception of who we really are. Don’t get caught up in your job title. It’s temporary and will not make you successful. Understanding who you are and what you do are two separate entities, and bringing your authentic self into your job environment is what makes success worth achieving.
Join the conversation with your host, Alicia Perkins, as she shares how you can separate your identity from your career and cultivate a successful life outside your job title. You do not exist to serve your job. Your job should be serving you. Take control!
