About this episode

This is Part 3 of our four-part Half-Year Career Reset series, designed to help you make the most of the second half of the year. Because if you're going to reset your career, July is the time to do it. In Part 1, you took stock of where you are. In Part 2, you identified your biggest wins and learnt how to communicate your impact. Now it's time to decide where you're actually heading for the rest of the year. But before you start writing down promotions, salary goals or job titles, there's something even more important to think about. Your life. Because what's the point in reaching your next career milestone if the rest of your life has to suffer to get there? In this episode, we'll help you set career goals that work for both your work and your life. You'll define your non-negotiables, think about what's happening around your work as well as in your work, and build goals that you'll actually want to achieve by December. If you want the second half of the year to look different from the first, this is where you start. Follow Office Real Talk and join us every Wednesday in July as we work through the complete Half-Year Career Reset. Let's do the damn thing.
