When I started out many years ago in my career, I really thought titles mattered and I did everything in my power to get promoted. It wasn’t healthy and it certainly didn’t make me happy. When I left one of the first organizations that I had worked at for many years, I began to realize that titles didn’t really matter.

I know no one ever likes to fail because you may be seen as not successful or not smart. This is so far from the truth. I was part of a project this week that had a failed process and it was a real eye opener for me.
