Self-Care Corner - Being Your Best Advocate: How Breton Boudreaux Utilized Preparation, His Duck Mentality, and Coffee to Stop Being a Box Checker - Ep. 12

When Preparation Meets Opportunity  Breton is passionate about helping others figure out their path. Regardless of his field of work, he is constantly learning, growing and always asking the question “why can’t we" or “what if we."  He takes us through his far from linear career path as he explored his interests, worked through imposter syndrome and the “box-checker” mentality, and learned to be his own best advocate. He drops gems on how we can become our best selves in the world of work such as: -Talking to a professional therapist or counselor as needed -Embracing that everyone’s path is different – it’s okay to not have all the answers! -Getting comfortable about “bragging” about yourself, no one knows your accomplishments better than you! You are the expert on the experiences that you are bringing to the table -The importance of having at least one person in your corner to give you honest feedback and cheer you on to remind you that you got this! -How you should prepare for new opportunities and job interviews -Why you should keep your eye out for new job opportunities -How to effectively negotiate your salary and benefits Connect with Bret on LinkedIn if you are interested in continuing this conversation with Bret and tell him We Are Still Becoming sent you!
