The first 6 months of any new role can feel confusing, tiring, and a little lonely. But that doesn’t mean you’re failing — it means you’re growing. This issue of FOUNDATIONS breaks down what no one tells you and how to keep leveling up.

"Your career isn’t built in one giant leap.
It’s built daily.
One moment of clarity.
One smart conversation.
One documented win at a time."

Most people think hard work is enough. It’s not.
What matters is what gets seen, remembered, and rewarded.

If you’re not tracking your progress — even just a few bullet points a day — you’re setting yourself up to be overlooked when it matters most.

That’s why we teach the Performance Journal in the Foundations Course.

It’s not fluff. It’s your highlight reel — built in real-time — so when review season hits, you don’t scramble... you shine.

In today’s politically charged world, the office can feel like a minefield. But mixing politics with work doesn’t just spark debates—it can quietly sabotage trust, productivity, and your next promotion. This no-fluff guide shows you how to stay neutral, stay focused, and keep your career on track—no matter what’s trending in the headlines.

Before you apply for your next role, Google yourself. What do you see? In a world where recruiters check your LinkedIn, social feeds, and online presence before making a call, cleaning up your digital footprint is a career move — not a side project.
