One of my new coworkers
is a rising star.
With the right mentoring,
she could have the top job
she greatly desires.
One thing that is holding her back
is her fear and lack of faith in herself.
The organization is undergoing changes.
Some employees will be let go.
Many employees will be shuffled around.
THIS is an opportunity.
Without changes like these,
an employee often has to wait
for retirement or death
to snag a better position.
THIS is when she should stand up
and stand out,
shouting her superstar status,
declaring her suitability for a promotion.
Folks that do this
seldom get let go
and often get promoted.
Instead, she’s scared.
She’s afraid of losing her present position.
She’s hiding.
Ironically, folks that hide
are the often the employees that get let go.
When changes come,
be brave.
Reach out and grab those opportunities.
