06 | Achieve Your Purpose: The Power of Monthly Progress Reports for Career Transformation

The Podgress Report

Text The Podgress Report

In this #HowTo edition of The Podgress Report, host Jen Phillips is sharing her June Progress Report to show how monthly reviews can help accelerate personal change, career reinvention, recovery from burnout, and “on purpose” professional growth.

Jen’s a former Marketing Operations executive who’s been using the proven power of monthly business reviews throughout her career. This practice is inspired by the methods used by Amazon, Google, Salesforce and many, many other companies to streamline vision and get everyone working on the “rightest” work.

Jen adapted the process to support her burnout recovery and career reset. It’s been a powerful part of her recovery process, and she’s sharing it to help your recovery. Download the Monthly Progress Review Guide HERE.

Managers, founders, & aspiring managers…this is a process you can adopt to support your teams. When employees understand team (company) goals, and their role in meeting those goals, employee engagement (and satisfaction) increases. Gallup estimates low employee engagement costs the global economy $8.9 trillion U.S. dollars, or 9% of global GDP.
