Job Search, Promotion, and Career Clarity: The Mid-Career GPS Podcast 207: Ten Things You Don't Know About Me & How They Built My Mid-Career GPS
Ever wondered who's behind the voice guiding your mid-career journey? Well, this episode takes a delightful detour as I, John Neral, open the curtains to reveal some personal truths. I paint a colorful picture of my life by sharing ten lesser-known facts about myself - from my fiery driving language to a short-lived adventure at a party rental company. With a childhood dream of becoming a meteorologist and a fulfilling 25-year tenure in education, my life journey has been a fascinating ride.
The intrigue doesn't end there; take a walk with me as I share seven more intriguing facets of my life. I open up about my unwavering passion for teaching, and I express my conscious decision to go childless. Relive the electrifying thrill I felt singing the national anthem to a sea of faces and clinching victory at a bowling tournament. And did you know? My life has been colored by a rich musical background that still vibrates through me.
We wrap up this episode with yet another set of ten fascinating facts about my life. From my fervor for bowling, my cameo on the TV show "Make My Day," to being a proud cat parent to our hefty rescue cat, Amy - I bare it all. We also tackle the prickly issue of perfectionism, a struggle I've battled and lessons learned from it. We cap it off with a reaffirmation that our careers thrive when we show up, listen, give and receive feedback, and maintain an upbeat mindset. So, join us on this surprising journey, and remember to connect with me, John Narrow, on LinkedIn and social media.
