A few weeks ago I read an advice on how to react to negative criticism. "Try to go with the premise that they're just trying to help" Such a simple advice, and yet so effective! I am someone who suffers from anxiety and my own mind sees me as a failure constantly. It is not easy getting negative critiqe from someone else because it translates into "you're a disappointment" in my head. I know for some people they get straight offended on any negative comment. Me being a perfectionist, I rarely do get it, at least from people whose opinions do matter, but the few times I got it it took me a lot of time to recover from that initial feeling of being a complete failure. Just assume they're trying to help. Whether is a parent, a friend , your boss, a coworker. It will save you a lot of nerves. Sorry for a long comment, I found this an amazingly well phrased advice and I am trying to get it around in case it could be helpful to someone else as much as it is to me
As a salaried employee at my company, I often aided weekly employees increase THEIR skill set and contributed letters to their supervisors at review time. Good for them and good for me.
Always be learning and be willing to take that constructive criticism. Have humility in the fact that you might not know everything, but are willing to learn.
I'm not sure I can express exactly how exhausting the idea networking makes me feel. It feels so slimy, and if you don't live in a city, its boarderline impossible.
Once you get beyond the idea of seeing what you can get out of it vs what you could potentially contribute (introductions and so forth) it's easier. Just go along and chat to people and get to know them. Forget about the whole business card thing unless someone asks for it. It is tough initially though but if you go prepared with no expectations it can be really interesting.
The way I treat it is just meeting people you want to know and trying to be friends. People are perceptive, if you're trying to twist it so that you get something out of that interaction then chances are you won't.
I live in the country and it is really hard to meet new people. Every once in a blue moon I get invited to a networking event, but I have started volunteering so that I can build a network. I work in senior services, so helping with a Walk to End Alzheimer's in the next town over or volunteering in an advocate's office can help me meet TONS of new people in a day. I'm not handing out resumes or cards, but I have gotten to meet great new people and some do ask for contact information.
When it comes to your true worth, YOU are priceless! There's only one of you in the whole world. Money and materiel positions don't have to rule your life. The best things in life are free, a smile, a hand on the shoulder and hugs are all things we can afford to give. If you want to give something of worth, give your time! go out and vote, call your friends and family to tell them you're thinking of them, ask a co-worker how their day is going. These are small things that mean so much in this fast-paced digital age. Never equate you, with what's in your bank account, it's never worth it! :]
Social media is kind of a double edged sword. I moved away from most of mine and if it weren't for a handful of people I want to stay in touch with, I'd leave the last thing (Instagram) that I'm still playing around on. I feel like you should either separate your person and professional social media accounts, or /just/ have a professional one that is the fakest, tamest thing imaginable with next to no personal details or opinions on it. Maybe that's just me and others who are susceptible to getting too wrapped up in it though. I lost a lot of friends coming up on the 2016 Elections. >.>
I agree with you on separating your personal from professional life. Once I entered college, I deleted anything that made me sound and seem unprofessional. Even things you write about in the past on social media can come back and hurt you. I rarely ever post on social media anymore but when I do, it's not public. Sometimes it's like living a double life.
I agree. But at the same time the fact that I have to do that just pisses me off so much. Businesses already control what I do when I'm AT work, but now they're starting to control what I do outside of work too?! >:(
I'm going my TH-cam channel right now and beginning a business around that, so is such valuable information which I've wondered many times. Thank you thank you thank you! ✨🙏
For example, if you join a group on Facebook and you find a person who you find interesting and connect well with them, it helps you build your network.
2. Building a Network - seriously, who has time for that? Especially if you aren’t a career driven person, and I’m sure that covers the vast majority of workers….🧐
I'm a little confused. When I read the title "How To Know What You're Actually Worth" I was expecting financial worth not self worth. Wrong channel to be posting content like this IMO
Emilia Woodhouse This isn’t self worth, self worth is what you think of yourself. And “Financial worth” would just be you adding up your bank account and assets. In this video you BECOME the asset. how skilled are you, are you worth a raise? Are you actually important to the company, or team? Things like that.

One thing I commonly see in the workplace is that your boss never wants you to know how much money you're actually bringing into the business.
The success folder is a great idea! I also want to diversify my network to include more people that are more experienced than myself.
me too :)
A bit off topic, but this whole channel I think would make a wonderful podcast!
I agree! Even if they just pulled the audio out of the videos they already have and made them available for download.

I call my success folder the "smile file" :)
Love this. It's a sneaky way to keep good projects hidden in plain sight .
Awesome idea!
Having a success folder is a great idea! Thanks.
Yes. I am going to adopt this.
Always be learning and be willing to take that constructive criticism. Have humility in the fact that you might not know everything, but are willing to learn.
One more thing -- I always kept my resume updated so it was always ready to present to a prospective employer or even a new supervisor at my company.

You can network online as well :)
I absolutely love the idea of a success folder.
Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦

Thank you!
Trying to quantify the value of my unpaid work.
Okay, but I don't really understand how exactly could I improve my network via social media?
For example, if you join a group on Facebook and you find a person who you find interesting and connect well with them, it helps you build your network.
Perfect timing...
Thanks, due to glass door I know that not only am I the highest paid in the company, I also make above the average for my city.
Isn't it: Total Assets - Total Liabilities? ... ;)
That resumes your net worth, I believe the video is about how much your workforce is worth.

That ad segway though.

Is it me..or is her eyeshadow just uneven?
