☆ My boss once told me I was 'too direct.' I found a way to turn that critique into my strength in the workplace.

I mean, he was direct, too, and people figured out how to handle him. I heard it again in corporate meeting rooms and during training sessions from colleagues, direct reports, and future managers. I didn't want to lose that strength by hiding it, so I eventually learned to develop situational savviness. For instance, I can identify that my directness allows me to tackle hard challenges that many people shy away from. AdvertisementLuckily, I am now able to identify when I can fully embrace my directness and when I should tone it down.

But it was surprisingly hard to enjoy the lead-up to the trip as a business owner. Just like the motion of pulling my arm back, stepping back from work propelled my business forward. I knew what work I was excited to return to, and I decided to realign on the work that no longer excited me.

☆ I loved my company but still felt bored and uninspired at work. I carefully planned my next steps and found my dream job.

I worked at a bank for years and loved the company, but my work often left me bored and uninspired. download the app Email address Sign up By clicking “Sign Up”, you accept our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy . Part of this meant paying attention to my energy levels and grouping my "work tasks" into one of three energy categories: energy suckers, energy stallers, and energy surgers. Because the job was such a great fit, I ended up earning salary increases quickly, which turned a pay cut into a pay raise. I'm glad I didn't give in to my rust out and instead worked on a plan that led me to my dream job.
