Smart moves to help you steer your career
Today is all about you. Whether you’re celebrating quietly or shouting your achievements from the rooftops, take a moment to acknowledge everything you do - the wins, the resilience, the care, and the impact.
Give yourself that well-earned pat on the back, reflect on how far you’ve come, and don’t be afraid to treat yourself too.
Take five to reflect on your impact.
Pause for just five minutes today and think about the moments this year where you made the difference - the project that landed because of your planning, the Exec who stayed on track because of your support, the team that felt more connected because of your work behind the scenes. Recognise those wins because you were at the heart of them.
Take yourself for a treat.
That could be your favourite coffee, a long lunch break, a walk in the sun, or a new book. Something that feels like a little "thank you" from you to you.
Plan some well-earned time off.
Whether it’s a full-on getaway or just a day to switch off and recharge, book it in. Make the time. You’ve earned it.
Invest in your growth.

Awardco
If you’re looking for a more meaningful way to recognise and reward your team, Awardco is worth a look. It’s a recognition platform that makes it easy to celebrate birthdays, work anniversaries, achievements, and those everyday moments when someone goes above and beyond. What’s great is that it integrates with tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams, and employees can choose their own rewards — from Amazon to experiences to charity donations. If your organisation is looking to boost morale or improve how it says “thank you,” this might be something to suggest to HR or your leadership team.

This Week’s Goal-Setting Challenge: Start the conversation about your training budget.
Whether you’re planning to take a course, attend a summit, or join a masterclass, take the first step and ask your Executive, HR, or L&D team if there’s a budget available for your development.
Why it matters:
- It shows initiative and commitment to your role.
- It opens the door to opportunities that might not have been offered - simply because no one asked.
- It reminds your organization that your growth is valuable.
Need a starting point?
Ask yourself: “What training would help me be even more effective in my role this year?” Then explore your options and put together a short, clear request — we’ve even got a Business Case Template to help if you’re choosing an EA Campus course.
We’d love to hear how you take action - and if you’re feeling brave, share your ask with us (no names needed!) so we can cheer you on inside The EA Campus Community.
