There are a few times when people have asked my opinion.I think it’s because I have ended up,on several occasions in my life,being a sort of advisor,a listening ear,a mentor,if you like,for some of my younger friends.The time that really comes to mind right now,is last year when my work colleague was having a real dilemma about whether she should leave the company and go work at a smaller company,for less money,but a more exciting job and possibly better future prospects,or stay with our company and have a more stable,secure job,but without many prospects of future development or task variation in the role.I sat and listened to her for some time and tried to understand what really mattered to her.You see,our choices in life often depend on both practical issues like pay or living conditions,and also on what really makes us feel whole,motivated,happy and encouraged in life to self-develop.I realized that she was the type of person who needed more than just stability and a salary and a boring job–it really mattered to her to have some sense of strong self-development in her working life.She was not super-ambitious,but she needed something more than just the basics.Because of this,I advised her that she should move to the smaller company,as long as she was willing to put in the extra hours,and be prepared to work harder.And that if you’re going to search for task variety,interesting promotional opportunities and personal development in work,you also have to put a lot of effort in.It’s not always the easiest path,but it can be more exciting,if you’re the type of person who needs ambition.I felt quite good,and mature,in giving my views to her,and I liked listening to her and trying to work out what really mattered to her,and why.I think that one of the most important things in giving advice to people is actually carefully listening to the feelings of others first.So,yes,I felt good and I think I am good at advising people,in general,mainly because I am an active listener.
