Humbled and grateful to share some reflections on professional networking that hit me during my morning centring ritual...

Have you noticed the transformation of our professional narratives on this platform? What began as simple career updates has evolved into carefully crafted personal odysseys!

Thrilled to observe how we're all on this journey together, where even the most ordinary workplace experiences become epic tales of personal growth and revelation.

My incredible team (tagging you all below!) helped me recognize these authentic storytelling patterns we've collectively created:

We've mastered the art of showcasing achievements while strategically acknowledging others' contributions

We've perfected the "proud to announce" preface that signals both accomplishment and false modesty simultaneously

We've elevated the subtle name-dropping of industry connections to demonstrate our professional worth

We've refined the performance of values-signaling that demonstrates our impeccable professional character

REPOSTING: In today’s performance-driven world, it is easy to fall into the trap of constantly chasing success, often at the expense of our mental health. The pressure to always appear “thrilled” with our work on platforms like LinkedIn masks the reality of struggles and setbacks that are a natural part of life.

As a counseling student, I am aware of how this culture contributes to the rise of depression, where the pressure to perform becomes an internal burden.

A Timely Reminder to Be Thankful

As the year winds down, it’s the perfect time to pause and reflect on the people, opportunities, and moments that have shaped our journeys; both personally and professionally.

Gratitude is not just a feeling; it’s a mindset that fosters growth, strengthens relationships, and inspires positivity in every aspect of life. Whether it’s a colleague who offered support during a tough project, a mentor who shared their wisdom, or a team that went above and beyond, there is always something and someone to be thankful for.

Let’s take a moment today to express our appreciation. A simple “thank you” can go a long way in creating connections that last far beyond deadlines and deliverables.

To my network: thank you for the inspiration, encouragement, and collaboration. Here’s to building more successes together in the coming year.

What are you thankful for this season? Feel free to share below!

In my latest blog post, I write about an often-overlooked aspect of career change: letting go of old memberships. As I move from higher education into counseling, saying goodbye to affiliations that once helped me secure my first job is both practical and emotional.

If you ae navigating a career shift, I hope my reflections resonate with you: http://roqueneto.com/2024/11/19/unsubscribing-from-the-past-the-unspoken-part-of-career-change/
