Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), it doesn’t work that way. We should consider that our careers are a work in progress. The business world is constantly changing. Our career goals should change along with it.

Living in the past can be unhealthy, but we should all periodically reflect to learn from our mistakes and our triumphs. We humans love our habits and cycles. The last week of December is traditionally the time when we look back on the year, take stock and glean the lessons so that we can start the new year with the r

Think about the last meeting you’ve been to that drove you crazy. What happened? Did it go too long or end up on a topic that had nothing to do with the original intent of the meeting? Did unnecessary people get invited—causing unrelated items to get discussed? And the worst—have you had a meeting that only leads to another meeting? And meetings aren’t going anywhere.

Glassdoor conducted a national survey to find the top 20 employee benefits and perks. Work tracking software company Asana received the single highest overall benefits rating of 4.9/5.0, thanks in part to the fact that it offers executive and life coaching services to their entire team.

I once had a boss who banned the entire organization from ever saying “sorry.”. Whether we were talking to customer, a manager, or each other, no one was allowed to say “sorry” under any circumstances.

In general, though, he felt that apologies tended to sound hollow and automatic, and did more to delay corrective action than advance it.
