Article: Are You A Tourist To Your Own Career?

01.27.2005 | Chris Bailey

As a part of my career and leadership coaching practice, I produce a monthly e-newsletter. The January issue features an article I recently wrote called Are You A Tourist To Your Own Career?

Here’s a brief excerpt:

My mad tourist dash [through London] seems silly, yet how many times have we done the same thing in our careers. So many of us race from task to task, project to project, and job to job. Perhaps we do this so we can check them off our strategically created career plans. Or maybe we become seduced by the thought that the next thing ahead is better than what we have right now. Ultimately, we find ourselves trapped by the notion that the destination becomes far more important than the journey itself and we lose ourselves in the process.

The full article can be found here. If you find the article enjoyable, consider subscribing to the e-newsletter.
