This is the first of a two-part series on Work Strategies that will further your career development. We will cover 5 in this eTip and the remainder in December’s eTip.

1. Crave Change; beat the curve by creating change to help your company stay competitive.

2. Bring great energy; eat healthy food, exercise and get adequate sleep. This is what professional athletes do to compete at their best. You’re a corporate athlete.

3. Explore new ideas; create value by bringing imagination and a fresh approach to problem solving. Take a few minutes to brainstorm before meetings to think of new ideas.

4. Create a positive environment; negative thinking diminishes your power and energy. Stay positive and your energy and confidence will soar – and rub off on others.

5. Go above and beyond your job description; great performers take on additional responsibilities and get noticed.

Career success does not happen by accident or luck. It requires commitment, which is defined as the difference between wishing and doing.
