Takeaways

It's important to view yourself objectively in your career. Subjective views can limit personal growth and career transitions. We often define ourselves within a box, which can be limiting. Maintaining an objective perspective allows for a broader self-understanding. Engaging in diverse activities can help break free from limitations. Self-perception can be influenced by how others see us. It's essential to examine the limitations of your current self-view. A holistic view of oneself includes multiple facets of identity. Transitioning careers requires an objective understanding of your capabilities. Taking risks and trying new things can expand your self-identity.
