Fairygodboss' Season of Sharing is almost over so I want to share some of the best advice I've learned in my career.

TRUST YOUR INTUITION! If you ever find yourself in a situation that feels off, trust that feeling. I consider myself to be a very practical and logical person and have always tried to make decisions based off what is logically the right choice, but I've learned the hard way that if something just feels wrong, it's definitely wrong. (And if something feels right, it probably is!)

I'd love to hear: what's the best advice you've learned in your career? Share in the comments or post to the feed!

JOIN THE SEASON OF SHARING:

1. Find three different members who are seeking advice and share your wisdom.

2. Post your burning career question or a workplace scenario you need advice on and then copy and paste this to the bottom of your post!

Why women love us:

Hard to nail down the BEST, so I'm thinking in terms of what others told me (rather than what I tell my clients as a career coach). I think it would be to confront issues head-on, and not assume you know the other person's perspective or motivation.

Never take anything personally.

My best advice is on career coaching of six undergraduates students on their research work which the duration was over 10 weeks.
I have recently mentored 3 PMP applicants over PMP tool and techniques

Almost 20 years ago, a mentor of mine gave me a required reading - The 4 Agreements. The best advice to stick with me is from that book:
1. Be impeccable with your word
2. Don't take anything personally
3. Don't make assumptions
4. Always do your best
