*Step 2 – Career Strategy Clarity
Owning your career path means having a clear sense of direction for what you want in your career. Your career is the means to achieve your purpose.
By setting goals, you have a road map to achieving your career dreams.
With a clear sense of purpose, you can develop a well-structured plan that will expedite your career progression.
This career strategy course is excellent for you if:
- You are unsure about the next steps in your career.
- You are unsure if you’re on the right track in your career.
- You are unsatisfied with your current career progression.
- You are considering changing industries.
- Your job may be at risk due to downsizing, layoffs, or other job losses.
The Career Strategy Clarity Course is divided in two phases:
Plan
In this phase, you will focus on your approach. You will discover your dream career and its purpose for your life (how it aligns with your life purpose).
To do this, you will go over your strengths, weaknesses, preferences, non-negotiables, and prospects to explore which career is best for you. It is often at this point that the idea of your dream career changes. Finally, based on your findings, you pinpoint your ideal career.
Prepare
Now that you are clear on your chosen career, it’s time to perform your due diligence. In this phase, you review various positions and titles that reflect your career choice (many times there’s more than one title you can access).
By utilizing a variety of resources, you will conduct research on the industry to identify benchmarks, credentials, education, and skills that are necessary and beneficial for your career. You will assess your current skill set and determine which skills you need. You will also explore the company culture. This allows you to figure out which organizations will be a good fit for you and which ones to avoid.
Now you are ready to set realistic and timely career goals.
When you complete this course, you will:
- Be clear on what you really want and need in your career.
- Discover your dream career and how it aligns with your life purpose.
- Understand the industry of your dream career and its requirements.
- Know which companies best fit your professional needs and which you should avoid like the plague.
- You will have clarity on what you want in your career.
