So this topic came up in two different places over the last couple of days. First was, I was asked for advice for young careerists when I was speaking at a conference in Atlanta about the Young Health Leaders Summit.
And people asked me, what's your best advice? And my best advice for long-term happiness in your career Es ist ein gewisser Eindruck deiner eigenen Intention, was du mit deiner Karriere tun willst. Und das kann einfach und schräg klingen, aber in meiner Meinung sind so viele Profis und Leute, die ihre Leben durchgehen, wo sie auf einem Weg sind, wo sie tun, was sie tun sollten.
Chapter 2: How can self-determination shape your professional journey?

They're really somebody else's agent. And that may be fine if that's what you choose to do. So there's something fantastic about being a 9-to-5 worker who just wants a job and then to be home and live the rest of their life. As long as that's what you choose to do.

In my own sense is, None of those are necessarily more self-actualized than the other. Rather, the entire key is that you've chosen what you choose to do.
I've got brilliant partners in my law firm. Some have decided to be on the senior counsel track because they want to spend more time in different ways in their life or don't want to take their practice of law, take so much of their mind space. Others have decided they are all in on leadership and have evolved to be leading the firm.
Einer kann großartig sein und in beiden Situationen habe ich gesehen, dass beide die Leute, die ich in diesen Räumen denke, einen fantastischen Job machen, auch großartige Familienmitglieder zu sein und mit ihren Kindern und Haushalten fantastisch zu sein, aber nicht einfach. Aber in jedem Fall denke ich, dass beide wirklich glücklich sind mit ihren Entscheidungen.
Und ich denke, die Schlüssel mit all dem, dass es eine lange Rehabilitation ist, ist deine eigene Intention, deine eigene Selbstdeterminierung. Ich denke, das ist größtenteils alles. Thank you for listening to the Becker Private Equity Business Podcast. Thank you very, very much.
