Following my great conversation with Courtney Bradwell about moving to the NL as a black professional today, I am reflecting on one of the key things that helped my guest Courtney to position herself in her new job market, and that is investing in yourself.
She spent a pretty penny on coaches who helped mer translate her skills from the American job market to the Dutch job market and more. Putting money on it, is one way to invest in yourself. Some of us fail to even just make the time to learn new skills towards our career. In this episode I reflect on this topic and give you three ways to think about investing in yourself. It does not always have to take money but it is about investing time to plan things that help you level up in your career journey. This includes utilizing your company development resources and budgets and seeking out strategic side gigs. Have a listen to this episode for more.
