51  Protect Your Job: Smart Strategies to Stay Relevant and Effective

In today’s unstable financial climate, it is understandable to have concerns about job security.

So how can you protect your role?

➡️  Shift your focus to what you can control: showing up with clarity, efficiency, and impact.

Here’s how:

1️⃣  Don’t Bust A Gut For The Sake Of It – It’s not about working more. It’s about working smarter.
2️⃣  Learn and Refine Your Natural Strengths – the skills and abilities that set you apart and energise you.
3️⃣  Optimise How You Work  Align your approach to leverage your cognitive preferences, so you can work with more ease and impact.
4️⃣  Get Clear On Your Goals – Define what matters most and break it into actionable steps.

Will that guarantee job security? No. But it will mean you’re operating at your best – and that clarity alone can be a powerful anchor in uncertain times.

You can’t control the market, but you can control how you show up.
