WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WROTE UP A CAREER WISH-LIST?
…IN FACT, HAVE YOU EVER?
Pro-actively planning and managing your career puts you in the position where you are no longer at the mercy of your industry or the job market. Think about that for a minute! Planning and scheduling your goals puts you in charge, instead of external factors being in charge of you!
Write up your new career goals/career wish-list every year on your birthday … you owe it to yourself!
TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR CAREER GOALS! Quelle concept!
How cool would it be if you actually could manage your career with confidence? Wouldn’t it be great to reduce the uncertainty of the gig economy? Even better…what if you spent less days and weeks throwing everything at the wall hoping something sticks, but came in with a clear, targeted message to hiring managers instead?
Imagine having a real plan, that has teeth… As a career coach, I help you identify the career goals that support your professional and personal values and aspirations.
The following career planning exercise will help you figure out the career path you want to pursue at this stage of your life. All you need is your wish-list!
HERE’S HOW TO CREATE YOUR NEW CAREER “WISH-LIST”
Challenge yourself to make a wish-list of 12 goals you’d like to realize. Each statement should reflect your dream job or professional wish-list — things you’d really like to do at this particular stage of your life. Then, add in some personal goals. Work/balance goals. Health goals. Spirituality goals. Relationship goals. Financial goals. All of it!
Think of it this way: If money were no object, what would you really like to do?
- I would like to own a small production house, creating X content for X audience.
- I would like to be a consultant in communication for municipal governments.
- I want to produce a YouTube or Podcast series showcasing…(insert passion project!)
- I would like to coach young professionals and help them build successful careers.
- I want to build my knowledge of/take a course in X…
