56: How To Find a Strategic Project at Work with Jen

Somebody finally tells you to go be ‘strategic’.

So you sit down to pick a project, and you stare at a blank page.

You are a doer. You solve problems. Nobody ever taught you how to go invent something big and shiny to sit on top of the fifty things already on your plate.

You keep waiting for the right one to come along. And every week you keep quietly mopping up the same mess nobody else will touch.

Truth is, that mess is the project.

Jen is a senior leader at a professional services firm and she came to Jill completely stuck. One question changed what she was looking for, and what she found had been sitting in plain sight the whole time.

It became, in her words, probably the biggest thing her firm has done.

Tune in to learn:

• The one question that turns a blank page into an obvious project

• How Jen built the support to change how very senior people behave

• What it did for the firm, and what it did for how the partners see her
