Regardless of where you are in your life and your career, I can promise you one thing; you will consistently be faced with challenges and obstacles along the way. M [link] mikemyatt Hi Mark: You point about chosen beliefs is an astute one. My question is this: have you taken the time to do the necessary planning?
They need to know where they want to take their people (that comes from having knowledge, goals, and/or beliefs therefore is developed). link] mikemyatt We are in agreement on all points Dan.

Taking from my own experience, I've been lucky to be successful (measured by quick progression up the career ladder, material comforts etc) and yet I'm still working on being professionally significant. "False" beliefs, a lack of sincerity, or any beliefsystem that is not genuine can be harmful.

To speak "your truth" is perceived to be a potentially career limiting, if not ending move.
