We're continuing the conversation about changes and this time we're thinking about changes in our careers.  As the generation that is the largest contributor to the workforce, organisational culture impacts millennials more than any other generation.    I'm really excited about this because it means we are in a very unique position to amplify the things that work and improve/change those that don't.  In today's episode, I'm talking about the 5 areas I believe we can make changes for the better.  1. Overcoming the concern of candor - we need more candid conversations 2. Overcoming distraction culture 3. Ending Apathy - indifference hurts us more than it hurts others 4. Commit to more holistic Personal Development 5. Change the gender narrative - empowerment is for everyone    Let me know if you agree or disagree in the comments below.  Earrings: will let you know soon, haven't gone back into St. George's as yet to get the name of the store (sorry)

Personal development is an essential tool for everyone and this is especially true for millennials.  We're at a fantastic age where we know a lot but we also have to keep up with learning so many new things.   The idea of constantly having to learn or improve yourself may seem daunting but in this episode, I'm sharing 3 super easy, super affordable ways for personal development, they are. 1. By reading a book - self-improvement really doesn't get easier than this.  By making time to read as little as 10 minutes a day you can change the way your brain functions.  2. Join a social / networking group  - I joined Toastmasters International in 2019 to help improve my speaking skills for this podcast.  It has been amazing with helping me prepare speeches and meeting some new cool people.  As millennials, I believe we are just the right age to try new things   3. Practice gratitude and forgiveness - this tip may seem a little unorthodox but it's so effective.  Gratitude has an amazing capacity to transform any situation for the better.  So being grateful for your life is an instant upgrade.   As for forgiveness, well at our age there are many reasons to be upset at others and ourselves, learning how to forgive improves our relationships and enhances opportunities for growth and development.  Win-win.

Have you ever heard of the term decision fatigue?   If not, let me catch you up. As the name suggests, decision fatigue basically means that the more choices we have to make, the less likely we will make good ones (sounds like some guys I know lol).   Anyways, this is a mind-boggling phenomenon where a person's capacity to make good decisions diminishes as the number of decisions they have to make increases.     Research shows that as millennials, we have far more decisions to make than our parents did at our age simply because of the number of options we have.  From simple decisions like the kind of shoes to buy to more substantial ones like deciding where and when to buy a home, we are bombarded with choices.  And the more choices we have, the more decisions we get to make, which can be EXHAUSTING! But do not fear, this episode will help you figure it all out. I love you so much for listening.  Be sure to like the episode and subscribe so you never miss new ones.
