When we first start out in our careers, we stretch.
We ask for more, speak up more, expect a raise or a promotion more quickly.
We’re always reaching to move up, get to that next step, show our worth.
And over time the stretching works. We move up, but then we’re satisfied and we stop stretching so much. Why would we after we stretched so much just to get here?
We may not feel stuck because we’re working horizontally, but we certainly stop stretching forward.
Is it time to find that drive again?
Stay Positive & FYI, It Never Left
