Ep235: Your career is a GAME. Play to win (instead of playing to not lose).
In this episode, Mei Phing discusses how your career is like a video game; and why you should prepare yourself to face challenges with a mindset to win, not just to avoid losing. Changing your perspective around the corporate world is the first step towards stressing less at work.
Key Highlights
🎯 Game Mindset: Viewing your career as a game encourages a proactive approach to overcoming obstacles, leading to growth.
📈 Leveling Up: Just like in gaming, understanding your boss’s expectations can help you progress and reap rewards.
🔄 Avoiding Déjà Vu: Continuously facing the same challenges without resolution can lead to frustration. Learn to clear levels effectively.
🥅 Winning Strategy: Actively seek opportunities for advancement instead of waiting for them to come to you.
🛡️ Defensive Play: Being overly cautious can lead to stagnation; embrace challenges to keep moving forward.
🗣️ Self-Advocacy: Communicate your achievements and goals to ensure you are recognized for your hard work.
🤔 Mindset Shift: Regularly assess if you are playing to win or merely trying to avoid defeat for a more fulfilling career journey.
