Ah, the simple joys of childhood, where all you needed was a scoop of ice cream to make everything better. If only chasing our executive dreams were as easy as that!
Instead of a sweet treat, we’re often served a side of “valuable life lessons” alongside our career goals. Negotiations? Life lesson. Budget reviews? Life lesson. Tackling a major project? Yup, you guessed it—more life lessons.
But just like Bluey’s quest for ice cream, our professional journey is sprinkled with moments of profound learning. And while we might not always get a scoop of sweetness, we do end up with the satisfaction of reaching our goals (and maybe a few extra gray hairs).
