CBQ - Are Your Workplace Expectations Unrealistic?
Seems like the wild west of workplace expectations, a one size fits all no longer applies. So when's the last time you've asked yourself if what you're asking for and expecting is feasible?
CTA - Write down, regarding your current work experience, 5 opinions and 5 facts. Focus on what you can change/impact and be clear about your own expectations.
CBQ - Do our assessment results change?
Let's briefly discuss SIGNIFICANT EMOTIONAL EVENTS, aka the cause of why our assessment results can and are likely to shift over time. To be clear, results changing isn't a complete overhaul. While it may be, usually it's subtle, your DISC style becomes less or more intense. Or the order of your motivators shifts. Not good or bad, but definitely significant!
Take inventory of the last 2 years or even how work has changed in the last 6 months... and reflect on how that has impact your natural style aka YOU.

A boss can only take you where they've been and listening to their advice can actually be worse for YOU. It may not be bad advice, but it's not what you specifically need. As a leader, think beyond the role you're training them for and be aware of the limits your words can project onto others.
Think of your past bosses...
Who did you/should NOT have listened to?
What advice are YOU projecting today?
"I love finding buried treasure, anywhere that I walk into I feel I can find one quality piece.” - CK
CBQ: “What is something you’ve enjoyed selling?”
If it looks old, it's more valuable than you think. Courtneys passion, turned side hustle, is hunting for treasure in the form of mid-century furniture. She gains energy from searching, revamping and staging vintage pieces, while her partner in crime, myself, is more enthused by the profiting part of the process. As a creative, finding a partner who can compliment you without limiting you is sometimes what you need to make it work, in business and in life.
