I’m self-employed (run my own digital marketing business) and actually if I pretended that ‘me’ was managing ‘me’ a bit more stringently, I’d probably progress more. I’m organised, but I rarely think about what extra training might help me to further my career- think I might give this a go!

@Lisa – very true! Bosses like this are quite rare. Amazing when you find them, especially early in your career. But rare! So we all need to do this work in directing our careers.

I really like my boss. He lets me do my thing with very little oversight or direction which is great at this stage of my career. He’s there to support me if I need something but stays out of the way most of the time. He also manages a TON of people and has his own deliverable so he really doesn’t have time to be a hands on boss. So it’s kind of up to me to manage my career, figure out what I need, who I need to meet, etc. Which is how I would prefer it!!
