I’d like to open this article with a disclaimer. I dislike the term ‘quiet quitting’. It’s a term coined by employers who have pushed the boundaries of employment to make it seem like a good employee should be doing more than what their job description calls for. Longer (unpaid) hours, tasks that don’t fall into the scope of services of their job, monitoring email at all hours, even taking work home with them.

The primary purpose of developing a strong professional network is to be able to leverage those relationships in a way that helps you advance your career. While this might sound selfish, I assure you, it’s not. Using your relationships to get ahead is not only perfectly acceptable, it’s expected in the business world. There’s nothing wrong with asking your network to help you out, especially if you’ve already done the same for them.

There are just some smells that mark the seasons, don’t you think? The earthy aroma of crunchy fallen leaves in the autumn. The clear, crisp scent of snow and hot chocolate in the winter, and the sweet fragrance of lilacs in the spring. For me, one of the smells that means summer is fresh mown hay. Just yesterday, I drove past a field near my home with huge rolls of hay waiting in the field.

Early in my career, I worked for a leader who had a lot of emotional intensity. Extreme highs and lows were common. Every day, I would arrive at work walking on eggshells, waiting to see what kind of mood he was in because that would determine the kind of day I had.

I grew up hating chores. Not because of the chores themselves—I actually didn’t mind helping out. What totally discouraged me was the fact that no matter how hard I tried, my efforts were never good enough for my mother. She’d always come along behind me and redo what I had just done. Talk about frustrating! I never felt that I could meet her expectations when it came to chores.
