Life Is Choices. Make Them.
An email here, a post there. Late to a Zoom meeting with a crying child in the background. . . .We think we have been given permission to let the small stuff go. We have not.
In Never Say Whatever, LinkedIn Influencer Richard A. Moran delivers an important message: “You should care. You need to care.” Moran wants you to make choices, no matter how small, in order to move ahead in your career and lead a satisfying life. He cuts to the chase of the wishy-washy mindset that holds careers back and provides the tools you need to reframe seemingly nonessential moments into prime opportunities for moving ahead. Chapters include:
- Making the Choice – Being Intentional
- The Road to Awareness – Gaining Perspective
- The Work Whatevers – Accountability As A Cure
- Leaders, Managers, and Everyone Else —The Road to Success Is Paved with Risk
- The Entrepreneurs Guide – Choices, Actions and Reactions
- Being Human – Whatever in A Worried World
- Whatever Can Turn Into Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda— Regrets, I’ve Had a Few
- Living Without Whatever: Kicking the Habit
Saying “whatever” is a choice with negative consequences on one’s career.
Never Say Whatever explains why this word is no good and provides the tools you need to erase it from your vocabulary—so you can start building a serious career today.
