One of the 5 P’s of Life is “Profession” – your work, whether you work for someone or are self-employed. If you’re not satisfied with your work life, then take control and make changes. Set goals for this aspect of life by stretching your skills and expanding your network. Every Wednesday, we offer tips via Twitter to help you with your work life. Below are tips we tweeted last month.

When seeking a mentor, figure out a way to be valuable in return.

Don’t assume your coworkers know your deadline – tell them and follow-up regularly.

When sending emails, get to the point – it’ll make it easier for busy colleagues to respond. 

Avoid the dreaded phone tag by giving clients and colleagues several time options to return your call.

Figure out your career purpose instead of struggling to find your passion.
