Summary

In these ‘Moment’ episodes of my podcast, I’ll be selecting my favourite moments from previous episodes of The Diary Of A CEO. In this moment, Nicola Mendelsohn CBE talks about the need to bring your whole self to work. Allowing the space and culture within companies for people to be who they are and know what matters to them leads people to becoming higher performers. She discusses the importance of understanding your core skills and strengths and having an informal ‘board of advisers’ to help you create a stronger vision of yourself. But, while it is crucial to ask for what you want, Nicola believes that it is just as important to do your homework on your career and know what truly matters to you, as no one else is going to do it for you.

0:40.4	We have a limited supply, so if you don't manage to get one, I'm terribly sorry.
0:47.7	I want to get some advice from you about work.
0:51.6	I know most people listening to this will really be in awe of the creue you've had

1:03.8	as to how they can have a similar career, how they can be successful and whatever endeavour they're pursuing.
1:09.6	When I was thinking about some of the advice you've given previously,
1:12.2	one of the points you'd said is about really understanding your core strength and your core skills.
1:17.4	Why does that matter and how does one do that?
1:20.7	What does it mean to understand your core skills and strengths?
1:23.5	I think it's about understanding what you enjoy, I think it starts there,
1:29.2	and then whether you're playing what you're intrinsically good at with those areas as well.
