8 Ways to Have Powerful Career Relationships

Sometimes you have to just call it what it is. In your career there will be relationships, friendships, that become stagnant. What happens when you become emotionally aware of this transition? 🌟

8 Ways to Have Powerful Career Relationships by Choosing to Begin Again: 

  1. Acknowledge your thirst for a change. Be honest with yourself when you feel the desire and thirst to bloom again by establishing new career relationships. Don’t deny the relationship tensions you’re sensing or definite fragility in the daily life interactions with a coworker or colleague. Instead, take the time to recognize what’s happening and whether your relationship is becoming a distraction. Is the tension making it difficult for you to stay productive and accomplish your goals? If it is, deal with it. Reassess your personal, intellectual and time boundaries. 

  2. In this era, it’s crucial that you connect and interact with people who are aligned with how we see things today; not in the sentimental past. When you choose to step away from the stale presence of memories long past, you will begin to start see life as it is. You will also be able to determine whether your core values are aligned with theirs. You will have greater insight on the alignment of your career and whether this relationship is producing a healthy covenant of genuine commitment and loyalty.

  3. At first, the absence of that strained relationship can feel awkward. But if you allow a natural pause to take place, you may discover your relationship needs are better balanced and even rejuvenated with the boundary adjustment. What if the change allows you to have more energy to believe in your destiny and see the next stepping stone for your career? 

  4. At your core, you should always posses a remarkable hope about your career future. It’s normal to be curious about where you’re going with the work you’re producing. It’s fruitful to expectantly wonder if there’s more for you peeking around the career corner. Your relationships are networks. They are healthiest when everyone perceives their lives half full. Awe-moment - they are engaged! A strained relationship could be a sign that your resiliency to weather hard circumstances is now being tested. Become aware that you are at an important tipping point and must decide if this relationship is worth fixing. 

  5. Remember, the right voice is so important when you discern a shift in your life. The pause to consider the ‘whys’ of this tension will help. The stillness time will give you inward peace to seek the answer you need.

  6. Be prepared. You may hear in your spirit that a change with this relationship is needed. Having an open mind to emotional agility will allow you to reposition and lovingly adjust your boundaries. The outcome could place you in a new network of relationships, new social scenery, new job, or a new alignment for your career. 

  7. Ego has no place when you’re trying to be transparent and just call it what it is. If you find yourself going over every detail of what has been said and how it was said, you’re just feeding ego. An empathic heart acknowledges misunderstandings and misjudgments but focuses on relationship growth to help everyone accomplish long-term success in their goals and career.

  8. Decide what your next step will be to begin again. Choose to have a powerful career surrounded by the healthiest relationships.
