Find inspiration by recalling early-career successes
The diversity of experiences that changed you in your 20s and the takeaways from your early leadership experiences can help you make a career move later in life, says executive coach Doug Campbell. Try to recall big projects you've worked on, and see if you can pursue similar challenges in your current role. Forbes (4/6)

Workers should feel free to jump ship, former Netflix exec says
Don't stay in a position that makes you unhappy, says Patty McCord, the former chief talent officer at Netflix. She notes that she used to initiate conversations with employees who seemed restless to help them explore other opportunities. "I got into trouble a few times with senior management for talking talented people into leaving," she says. Harvard Business Review (tiered subscription model) (4/2015)
