Shhhhh! Don’t you dare say
a word about it – just keep your head up, your mind sharp and your mouth shut
if you want to achieve it.
As you may or may not have
noticed by now, the bi-weekly posts included in our “Becoming a Professional
MVP” column highlights professional development advice using sports moments as
the parallel. For me personally, I can remember my father using sports as a
crutch to teach me life lessons so that I could more easily relate to the
message he was trying to have me understand. And so now, as a way for me to pay
it forward, I’m excited to continually share with you various tips (via sports)
that aim to help you launch a successful career. This week however, we will
actually shift just a bit from professional development to personal development
and learn how ‘the bootleg run’ is analogous to keeping your mouth shut when it
comes to your meeting your personal goals and objectives.
