Many professionals set their sights on management because they think it’s what they’re “supposed” to do. But truthfully, management isn’t for everyone. Some people just aren’t cut out for it, and that’s perfectly okay! There are plenty of other ways to advance your career without going into management. I speak from personal experience. My first “real job” out of college was as a management trainee at the country’s largest financial institution (at the time).

Simply put, a vision board is a collection or collage of images, words, pictures and symbols that are meant to serve as inspiration to you. Think of it as a visual representation of the things that are important to you—your goals and dreams that you want to achieve in life. They can be created in all types of ways, from analog vision boards that you can keep in a notebook or tacked up on a wall to a virtual version made on your computer or phone.

Gulliver’s Travels is one of those books we assume we know. But what we tend to recall is some stuff about Lilliput, giants, talking horses and possibly something about scientists trying to extract sunbeams from cucumbers. It’s really about one man’s descent into disillusion with the human race. It is acerbic, occasionally tediously detailed, and offers insight into some aspects of the human condition, which makes it timeless.

Recently, a dear friend of mine was sharing her desire to get a new job. But she was hesitant to leave her current position because (in her words): “What if the new one isn’t any better?” This is a common concern, and for good reason! The grass always appears greener when you’re looking at it from afar. Once you get to that promised land, however, it often isn’t what you thought it would be.

Nowadays, you’re lucky if you see one or two colleagues in person once a week, because most office interactions take place over video calls.
