32 - Focus on the Right Job

Today, we’re going to be talking about how you can get ahead in your career. We’ll be reviewing a book called “Rise” by Patty Azzarello, which is all about what companies want in their employees and how you can get promoted the right way. One of the key takeaways is that you need to go above and beyond your job description by doing what needs to be done. But how do you make sure you’re focusing on the right things? Well, the book suggests keeping a priority list and building in a time buffer so you have time to think and plan. It’s also important to protect your important projects and communicate effectively with your boss and coworkers. And finally, building trust in your community at work is crucial for getting those top projects and promotions. So, if you’re looking to take your career to the next level, stay tuned for some great tips and insights!

Jill McKinley

I’m Jill from the Northwoods. Professionally, I work in Health IT, where I untangle complex systems and help people use technology more effectively. But at heart, I’m a curious lifelong learner—always exploring how things work, why people grow the way they do, and how even the smallest steps can spark real transformation. That curiosity fuels everything I do, from problem-solving at work to sharing insights through my creative projects.

My journey wasn’t always easy. Growing up, I faced a rough childhood, and books became my lifeline. They introduced me to voices of ancient wisdom, modern psychology, and the natural world around me. Those pages taught me resilience, gave me perspective, and helped me see that wisdom is everywhere—waiting to be noticed, gathered, and shared.
