3-steps to “own” your career

STEP 1

It all starts with a vision and answering the age-old question:  What do you want? 

Additional questions to ask yourself: 

Where do I want to take my career?  What experiences am I longing to have in my career?  Why is this important to me?  And once I have this, who do I become as a professional, as a person?  Who benefits?  Who else benefits?

In order to own your career, you must have an idea of what you want. You must have a vision!

STEP 2

Once you explore and have a good idea of what you want, the next step is to identify what you need to get it. Then, share your needs with your mentor(s), manager and sponsors. 

Ask yourself: 

  1. What skills or capabilities do I need? 

  2. What skills or capabilities do I ALREADY have which I can leverage? 

  3. How will I get what I need? (additional skills/capabilities) 

  4. What resources are available to me now?

STEP 3

Now that you know what you want and what you need to get it - take action! Write out how you are going to get it.

What small daily/weekly actions can I take to get what I want? 

When will I take these actions? 

How will I commit to taking these actions?
