We spend a large part of our careers thinking about what we want next — a better role, a promotion, higher income, greater recognition or a bigger opportunity.

Office Gupshup features CA Mukesh Dedhia, Director at Ghalla Bhansali Group, sharing his perspective on how who we are shapes what we receive from life.

But perhaps there is another question worth asking:

𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭?

As 𝐂𝐀 𝐌𝐮𝐤𝐞𝐬𝐡 𝐃𝐞𝐝𝐡𝐢𝐚, 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫, 𝐆𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚 𝐁𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐢 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩, puts it:

“We receive from life not what we want but who we are.”

A simple thought, but a powerful reminder.

Our professional journey is shaped not only by our qualifications, experience or ambitions. It is also shaped by our 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞, 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬, 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞, 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬, 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠.

When things don’t go our way, we often ask:

“Why am I not getting what I want?”

Perhaps sometimes we should also ask:

“Am I becoming the person capable of handling what I want?”

Because career growth isn’t only about chasing the next opportunity. It is also about 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬.

Sometimes, what we become matters even more than what we achieve.

At 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐆𝐮𝐩𝐬𝐡𝐮𝐩 – 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝, we bring forward real perspectives from experienced professionals and leaders that can help us rethink the way we work, grow and navigate corporate life.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 — 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭, 𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫?
