"All I am is a number to them, and all they are is a paycheck to me." How many of us have felt that way? More importantly, what can you do about it? I’ve found that even if your current work situation feels dire, these 4 actions are ones we can take to stay motivated and happy.

I realized in a moment that everything had changed. I thought, “I was asleep and didn’t even know it and now I’m awake.” I felt energetic, happy. I was present.  Even the colors of everything I saw seemed richer and deeper. It was, to borrow a term we like to use at Nova, illuminating.

If you are a leader who can provide clarity, remove boundaries, and create a collaborative working environment...wouldn’t that be true brilliance?

We spend so much time focusing on making our clients successful that it's not often that we talk about what drives us. We took a moment to reflect on a few key questions on passion, purpose, and how we wield our skill.  We hope you enjoy reading this, and invite you to share your perspective on these questions too!

Change your self-talk. I can say with 100% certainty that you are your own worst critic, bar none. Yes, it’s good to have high standards and yes, you should keep reaching for the stars, just not at the expense of your own ego! Instead of identifying the ten things that went wrong in a meeting or a conversation, train your mind to recognize what went right.
