Harry Potter and The Deathly Shallows of Work

You’re a wizard. Yes, you, because you trained for it.

All of the courses, all of your practice and experience, and all of the knowledge in your head.

Being a wizard is easy. It’s the work that isn’t always so.

In the Harry Potter movies series, training is key. In fact, learning takes a long time. Practice helps. But as usual – in movies and in life – luck and friends are needed pull you through the tough times.

The plot of your own projects in life, and in your career as a wizard, will unfold as you go. Destiny is there in the background, whether you love it or not. You find out that your future was not as you had planned, because there was another plan already happening.

Like Harry, you are born with gifts… wizardly powers… that perhaps are not known by those around you. Whether you train at Hogwarts, or you do your management training at Harvard, you learn. And in a sense, you’re always in school. Besides the benefits of continually stretching your brain, everyday life presents constant changes and knowledge for you to absorb.

And as you advance in your wizardly levels, you find out the “truths” you knew earlier are not the same. You grow up, and your world grows up.

But inside of you is the same young wizard, with the potential, and the magic inside to rise up to the challenges you face.
