Will you move your career goals forward this year?
Is a new or better job on your list of New Year’s resolutions? If your goals include building, accelerating and sustaining your career or finding a new or better position in the months ahead, here are three steps to help you:
1. Assess your current situation.
- Where are you today?
- What would you like to be different in your career six months from now?
- What’s important to you about the work you do?
- What is the right fit for you and your lifestyle now?
- What do you want your lifestyle to be 10 years from now?
- Why is changing your current career situation important?
- Do your career marketing materials promote you in a credible and distinctive manner?
- What enhancements do your career marketing tools need?
2. Create an action plan.
- Who are the 25 people who need to know you and your career goals?
- Who else needs to know you?
- How will you get in front of the people who need to know about you?
- What are 3 things you will do this week to connect with these people?
- How will you follow-up and reconnect with the people who need to know you?
3. Set up an execution strategy.
- What are going to do every single day to execute your plan?
- How will you measure and evaluate your results?
Do you need some help? If so, let’s connect.
I love the idea of an execution strategy. I’m going to have to give that some thought. thanks
This is great, Cindy. It’s quite an involved process for such a short article. It could be turned into a downloadable worksheet or workbook! 😉 There is a lot here!
Sarah, thanks for the great idea.
Great article Cindy. Short & sweet yet great advise as far as a strategy is concerned.
Thanks Lilia Lee – a short & sweet strategy usually equals clear and focused in my book. Have an amazing week!
