- 4Traveling with someone who is always on their phoneConstant doomscrolling pulls a companion completely out of shared experiences, leaving you to handle all the logistics and planning alone. Being tuned out during meals, transit, and downtime ruins the trip and makes you feel like you are traveling by yourself.
- 4How do I find a management mentor outside my company?Leaders in niche industries often get trapped in a bubble without peers to compare notes with or learn unwritten best practices from. Without external mentors or professional networks, it becomes difficult to bridge the gap in confidence, presence, and leadership knowledge compared to larger organizations.
- 2Is it okay to skip a networking event if I'm not prepared?Skipping a networking event when you feel unprepared or have conflicting commitments won't hurt your chances if bigger career fairs or other opportunities are coming up later. Trying to force attendance without preparation or by heavily disrupting your work schedule often adds unnecessary stress when alternative options are available.
