Trust in Your Career

What would you say if I asked you to trust the following three things...

✪ You can make informed decisions based on evidence and experience
✪ There's no such thing as an absolute right or wrong answer
✪ You know more about your career than anyone else


Trust means staying together.

Trust is a big deal when it comes to work. Careers tend to suffer when trust is broken. We're asked to place our trust in a number of things throughout our working lives. Some companies, managers and experts welcome our trust and work hard to keep it. Others are happier to come and go, taking their promises with them, forcing the things we trust to change. Including some of the things that our careers may have relied upon.

Trust is important, that's why it needs to be based on something that can't and won't disappear. That's why trust should be something we can easily understand and build upon with care. We can all trust something completely different but our careers are founded on trust all the same. We can all trust something that grows with us as we discover more about work and gain new experiences over time

Take another look at these three simple things and ask if they are worthy of your trust

✪ You can make informed decisions based on evidence and experience
✪ There's no such thing as an absolute right or wrong answer
✪ You know more about your career than anyone else
