bored, under-employed or overlooked?

Recently, Reader, you might have seen my article in the Harvard Business Review offering strategies for when your colleagues have an outdated perception of you. (Read it here if you missed it--may require a free sign-up). Misperceptions about what you can do can cause you to miss out on new projects and be stuck in things you've done forever, which can get boring fast. But what if others are just forgetting or overlooking how you can help? In today's wild world of "who's working from where when?" it's easier than ever to get overlooked and underutilized. And when you've got free time on your hands, it's a fast jump to start worrying that maybe the company doesn't need you anymore. Ouch. If that's you or someone you love, be sure to pay attention to the strategies I share here: Read "My Skills Are Not Being Utilized (And What to Do If That's You" So how 'bout you, Reader? Ever feel like you could/should/would do more? What'd you do then? Hit REPLY and tell me. I always love to hear from you, and work hard to respond to every reply. No matter what's happening for you in your world of work, never forget that you have immense value, and that you matter. Until next time, red capes on, friend—let's soar.
