Going through the motions
Oliver lacked focus, motivation and direction. He was going through the motions at work.
Then a colleague told him he looked like he was about to have a heart attack. It was the first time anyone had seen what he had been feeling for years.
“I’d gone from thinking that anything was possible with my career, to thinking I had peaked and it was all just going to gradually get worse from here”
Taking it to management
First he got a clear diagnosis of the problems, rather than rushing to fix them. Then, in one sprint, he set out what he wanted from his career and took it to internal management, with his Circle holding him to it.
“the sprint where I laid out what I wanted from my career and took it to internal management has had a huge impact on being able to get back on track”
What changed
- A new role that matches what he wanted, building out a new team
- Better relationships with his family
- Thinking in six-month, two-year and ten-year horizons, not just today
“I leave the mastermind with a new role lined up, better relationships with my family, a feeling that I am back to growth and back in control.”
His advice
“No one’s got it all worked out, especially in this industry where things change so quickly all the time and the workload never stops coming.”
