Harsh Truths I've Learnt in my 40s that I Wish I Knew In My 20s: 1️⃣ Your career will be unpredictable - it's never entirely secure. Constantly invest in yourself by upgrading your skills and expanding your network. 2️⃣ You cannot make everyone happy. The key is to live up to your own values and promises to yourself and others who matter. 3️⃣ Not everyone wants to see you succeed, and that's okay. Seek out those who uplift and challenge you - your tribes will be your greatest supporters. 4️⃣ Failures are super painful; but they are often the best teachers and make us stay humble and human. 5️⃣ Happiness drives success, not the other way round. Focus on what brings you joy, and success will follow naturally. 6️⃣ People don't really care about how much you know; but care about how much you care about them. Be a caring person to help others succeed; so that you will go even further and stronger. 7️⃣ Strong relationships are fundamental to long-term well-being and resilience. Build and nurture them, as they will always support you in times of need. 8️⃣ A large company doesn't guarantee faster career growth. A great boss, however, can significantly accelerate your development and opportunities. #CareerGrowth #Networking #Innovation #LifeLongLearning #Leadership #BrandBuilderTalents 🔴 What would you add to the list?

STARTED THINKING ABOUT 2025 YET? IF SO WHATS YOUR PLAN? As we approach the final two weeks of 2024, I've been doing some thinking about next year and my work and performance plan is locked, loaded, and ready to roll. The theme? Big Impact, Work Smarter and ensure the greatest Candidate and Client experiences possible! For me 2025, will be about working strategically, so my brain does the heavy lifting while my coffee intake remains reasonable. First up, the people goals. Internally, how to better lead, develop and grow a high performing team. Externally, maintaining our impressive gender diversity placements (still a proud 50/50!), and ensuring our shortlists continue to include cultural ethnicity too, so we’re levelling up opportunities for everyone to shine! Next, customer experience. At Oaktree Talent Group and Future State Consulting, we know that the first interaction, whether it’s with a candidate or client, sets the tone. In 2025, we’ll turbocharge that experience, finding innovative ways to better engage, source the unicorn talent and ensure an unrivalled recruitment experience. Finally, there’s personal growth, because the boss deserves some TLC, too. The plan? Staying sharp, exercising consistently, keeping stress manageable, and sprinkling in a spa day or two. If Mr. Wong makes an encore appearance, I won’t complain. After all, balance is the secret sauce! With all this in motion, 2025 looks set to be a year of steady wins, a few laughs, and some well-deserved celebrations! Keen to hear your plans for 2025 #OaktreeLeadershipTips #Strategyjobsaustralia
