How can you find purpose beyond work?
In the latest episode of the Happier at Work podcast, I was joined by the inspiring Deirdre McGinn, the founder of Step Up Step In, an organisation dedicated to supporting women in building confidence and thriving at work. Deirdre's insights and experiences in the corporate world, coupled with her journey of self-discovery and career reinvention, offer invaluable wisdom for individuals seeking happiness and fulfillment in their professional lives.
Deirdre highlighted the distinction between mentors and sponsors, emphasising the pivotal role of sponsors in advocating for an individual's career advancement within the organisation.
We delved into the concept of personal branding and the significance of visibility for career progression. Deirdre shared insights on creating a personal brand and communicating one's achievements effectively. Her personal journey and transition from the corporate world to empowering women underscored the importance of self-awareness and aligning personal values with career choices.
I encourage you to take a moment to consider your own career journey. What steps can you take to foster happiness and fulfillment in your professional life? Whether it's embracing a new challenge, seeking out a supportive network, or redefining your personal brand, every small step can contribute to a more fulfilling work experience.
