Podcast Highlights:

  • Bike tires rely on spokes to keep them balanced and "true".
  • An imbalanced career is like a bike tire that isn't "true"; it's imbalanced, unsafe, and\xa0keeps you from finishing well.
  • Our careers change, which is why we need to evaluate our careers with each new season.
  • It's better to fix an imbalanced career now and be delayed than to go a long time on an imbalanced career trajectory.
  • There are\xa0five spokes that balance your career:
    • The Work you do
    • The Company you work
    • The Compensation you earn
    • The Team you work with
    • The\xa0Relationship you have with your boss
  • Take the time to grade each "spoke" of your career with a green light, yellow light, or red light.
  • Get feedback from those closest to you to find where the balance is present or missing in your career.
