Layoff cycle
- You joined the corporate world
- you realised you need to work hard to make more money
- you became a high performer
- You 'exceed expectations' during appraisal
- Yet didn't get a good hike
- You changed the company to make good money
- Now you are a high performer who makes good money
- You are now fired in the next round of layoff cz you make good money and the company needs to cut the costs
- Now you are confused if you should be working hard to be a good performer or not

Many young professionals do not get relevant guidance on how to progress a career, terms of building a foundation and taking strategic steps/risks to progress.
What works for one doesn’t work for the other because each individual is as diverse as a finger print. The experiences, perceptions and dreams differ but many are brought under one umbrella as they work in a certain community.
Triggered by offline grapevine, feedback mechanisms, social expectations etc. may end up negatively impacting health and lose out on opportunities.
The feedback mechanisms at play are mostly inaccurate, inconsistent or merely a justification of a rating once or twice a year.
The usual measures are money, hike or a title?

Hosting a webinar next week to dispel some of these myths on:
- what should a measure of success include?
- ‘how’ to building careers to thrive?
- what noise to filter out?
