We often know what we should do! The difficulty is how to start! The doing, instead of the thinking about doing! Aaaah! I need a call to action, so I do whatever I am thinking of doing now! We all know that once we take that first step , it’s like a valve releasing a build up of air. Then you feel good about yourself. A sense of achievement and fulfillment.
Your career is so important to striking that work/life balance that enhances your personal wellbeing. So it makes sense to maximise your potential by investing in YOU and to have your own ongoing process of exploring, discovering and validing your career choices.
Simply, open your mind to knowing your career choices and implement your action plans to navigate the forever changing environment by finding the answers to 3 career work life questions:
Who am I?
Where am I going?
How am I getting there?
Motivate yourself to make a start by writing down a few simple bullet points on actions you will do over the next 2 weeks that will kick you off in your journey. Find some occupations you think you might like and organise times to speak to people in those jobs . Review your resume to make sure it ‘sells’ your skills and experience. Reflect on activities, hobbies and experiences that you have enjoyed and start a process of how they could translate to a career.
