What would you like to change about your career? What could you do this week, or better today to start this shift?
Career shifts don’t happen overnight. To pursue great things, break your goals into bite size chunks. As basketball great, Michael Jordan, says, the only way to reach a goal is: “Step by Step”.
So here’s my 30 Day Career Shift Challenge:
1. First, get clear about what you want.
2. Develop a monthly plan including weekly goals and daily objectives.
Some ideas to consider: talk with your manager about your career goals, update your resume, attend a business networking event, sign up for some professional development courses. For more suggestions check out: 6 Job Search Tips to Get the Job You Want.
3. Get someone to champion you. We all need a cheerleader who believes in our potential and our career aspirations. It could be your manager, spouse, mentor or a career coach. Share your goals and solicit their support to accelerate your success.
Don’t have time? Consider: What is the cost if I don’t do it now? If I wait, where will I be in 6 months, or a year from now: disengaged with my work, frustrated with my boss, overwhelmed and stressed?
Life passes by too quickly, seize this moment and take the 30 Day Career Shift Challenge. Great things are ahead for you!
Wishing you much career success!
