Welcome to the Saturday recap. Enjoy!
Personal Development
This week, the posts cover career stories, insights, and titles. There is also a post on imposter syndrome and how we need bravery and courage to avoid regret.
Career Stories. The first post of the week covers the importance of understanding your career stories and how they can be leveraged to set your personal brand and manage your path.
Renting Our Titles. We must always remember that our time at a company and in a role can be fleeting – by our choice or the company. Your title is rented for a time and can be gone in a moment.
Career Insight Chart. Every job we hold has things that we love to do and things that we would prefer not to. Creating a chart highlighting both can start to show red threads across experiences.
What Type of Imposter? I recently learned there are 5 types of imposter syndrome. Seeing them makes so much sense. This post explores all 5 – how to recognize and strategies to overcome.
Bravery Overcomes Regret. This post ladders off a recent podcast and lands on a quote from me on how courage and bravery partner to fend off the feeling of regret.

This week, the sustainability post – Conscious Consumption – provides has us thinking about not only physical product consumption, but all the other ways we fill our lives with more than we need and often can become overwhelmed by it all.
