π― How to Center Your Own Career Values
β
Dear Contessas,
β
Many of us have made carer decisions that didn't quite work out, but why?
β
From a shockingly young age, we're taught to chase salary, clout, and fancy job titles at impressive-sounding companies.
β
With all of this noise, it's easy to lose track of what our actual values might be, and how our career should reflect them!
β
This week, we're talking about career values, how we found ours, and why you should center yours in your careerβand your personal life!
| DETERMINE YOUR VALUES |
Until next time,
Lauren and the Career Contessa team
