Career Coaching in Dubai: Top Tips for Career Growth

2b LimitlessJanuary 6th, 2025

Here are our top three tips for advancing your career with real purpose—especially if you’re navigating the competitive landscape of Dubai’s job market!

1. Overperform

First and foremost, you have to perform. This is the objective measure. My favorite question to ask in this space is not what’s your job, but “What are you paid to do?” This helps you get really specific about why you’re really there. Then be very clear about the most important measure for success in that space—and perform beyond that measure.

In a fast-paced city like Dubai, where opportunities abound but competition is fierce, overperforming sets you apart and builds your reputation as someone who gets results.

2. Know Your Strengths and Weaknesses Better Than Anyone Else

There’s nothing worse than having weaknesses that everyone else knows apart from you. We call this having a blind spot. We all have weaknesses, but make sure it’s not a blind spot. Your job is to know what those weaknesses are and then skillfully mitigate them so they don’t sink your ship—or the ships of others around you. If you can’t see your weaknesses, look harder… we all have them!

Even more importantly, you need to understand where your strengths lie and deliberately play to them. Turn your strengths into rituals and find ways to develop them so they become super strengths that drive high performance. When you’re working in the strength zone, it doesn’t even feel like work! In a place like Dubai, where innovation and ambition thrive, working in your strength zone can help you stand out as a high performer.

3. Build a Brand

Develop a high performance leadership brand that makes sense to everyone. Brand equity is about your value and making it visible. If you want to progress and have real security, your goal is to become Visibly Valuable. In the same way that a business builds a brand, you can build a personal brand too—complete with behavioral values, a personal mission, and a deliberate way of working, showing up, and performing.

Invisible value is no use. Visibly useless is also a fast track to nowhere. Be visibly valuable by building your brand equity. In Dubai, where professionals from all over the world are competing for attention, being visibly valuable is essential for career growth.
