The routine of the work week and the pressure of our job responsibilities can often get the best of us. However, whether it's putting more effort into your job, or finding one that makes you truly happy, its time to commit to your career.

- Klarstellung: Die Ausnahme-Regel, dass Nachrichten-Konsum erlaubt ist, gilt nur für Ereignisse die wahrscheinlich in 10 Jahren als Wendepunkt in Geschichtsbüchern stehen werden. Und selbst dann dürfen Nachrichten-Videos zu dem Ereignis nur zwischen 13:00 und 14:30 und nach 19:00 angeschaut werden.

"Ontem fiz 2 horas, com pontas, e hoje vou na tca! Tô marcada pra 2h de estúdio, vamos ver quantas horas vai dar. Até o momento, fiz 7h em janeiro, começando bem perto das 10h de meta do ano passado, que eu consegui bater. "
"Jan 13: 99 words, over 900 steps, and no alcohol. And that last part is especially significant because personal problems and national problems made me feel really REALLY tempted to imbibe. But I did not. That's amazing! Good for me."
"Current major issues in my path:
- Stefan not convinced I’m ready to pursue the promotion this year
- Kashif not demonstrating support in a tangible way
- Missing one sponsor/ very early-stage engagement with Anne PM or Beccy
- Charles has clearly wrong impression
Completed this week
- Worked on ways to address first two issues (Stefan and Kashif)
o Conducted self-assessment of my readiness for promotion using BlackRock’s official promotion criteria, leadership principles, guidance for managers around promotion process
o Planning meeting with Kashif (w/c 19 Jan). Open discussion: “now is the time we decide if we want to pursue this with conviction. I want to have a frank discussion to assess whether we’re convinced of doing it or not. These are the criteria, this is where I think I have strengths, these are the weaknesses – I think there’s a path and I’m serious about pursuing it this year but I’ll need your help mainly advocating for me with Stefan / Charles and subsequently with other stakeholders.
o If Kashif confirms support -> Kashif to speak with Stefan and advocate for me
o Then I’ll speak with Stefan: “open discussion” similar to Kashif, but hopefully he’ll be already more convinced that I can give it a shot this year
- My department (global advisory MDs) will need to agree an initial longlist of candidates for promotion by end of this month / early February. My objective is to create awareness with key MDs that I want this and demonstrate I have the requirements:
o Planned call with Steve Witthun (head of Americas) for w/c 19 Jan
o Planned call with Ashwin (US head of markets) for 13 Jan
- Run Kashif/Stefan approach with friendly stakeholders/ mentors before meetings:
o Planned call with Philippe de Koning
o Planned call with Scott Harris
