GAS Up Your Career Development
Is your career development where you want it to be? Are you considering a career move? So what is keeping you from moving forward?
During the last decade, I have learned several critical aspects of human nature. No one wants failure. Everyone wants success. But far fewer have actually achieved success. This is also true with career development and career employment.
However, there is a simple answer to help you get to where you want to go. Start building the capacities of:
- Goals
- Attitudes
- Self Leadership Skills
What are the Goals for your career development or career employment? Possibly you have written them down somewhere. Let me ask you a straight forward question: How good are you at achieving general goals?
Human beings are goal setting creatures. Yet very few appear to consistently achieve their goals both personally and professionally.
Your career goals should be tied to your action plan that balances your personal life against your professional life. This action plan should be reviewed on a weekly basis.
How are your Attitudes about career development and career planning? Do you look forward with enthusiasm as your make those career plans or with dread?
Our attitudes directly determine where we end up in our pursuits for career, family, health and finances. Take time to assess your attitudes regarding moving forward with your career. Sometimes in life, we just need to suck it up and we work through difficult times from demanding bosses to life’s unexpected obstacles.
As you move forward with your career development, make sure that you invest considerable time in Self Leadership Skills. For these skills are what employers are seeking, strong interpersonal skills. Employers can always train you for job specific skills, but self leadership skills of communication, effective decision making and time management must be in place within you.
Career development should be part of everyone’s personal action plan. By building these capacities of goals, attitudes and self leadership skills will be just the G.A.S. to get you to were you want to be.
