After Defining what you want to achieve in your career and taking the time to Reflect to get clear about your talents while determining what success looks like in your career, follow the next steps as they are just as important.
Explore
Explore career options and define your next career move. Do your research and identify career opportunities that make sense as a next step. Set a goal to shoot for. I personally find assessment tools such as Birkman Assessments to be helpful with this step because it can help you get clarity about your strengths, development opportunities and potential careers that fit your interests. I use the Birkman Assessment with my coaching clients.
Act
Set clear goals and actions steps that will help you achieve your goals. Ensure goals are actionable, include a timeline and that they will help you get closer to achieving your Career Vision Statement. Be clear about the next step you will take to achieve your career goals.
Monitor
Review your goals and develop a system to check your progress and measure success. Treat your career like a business, taking time to review and re-evaluate your goals, ensuring you are focused on the right things.
Soar
Combine all the steps together, Define, Reflect, Act, Monitor and Soar and it comes together as the acronym DREAMS.
If you want to move from stuck and unsure to SOARING in your career, get in the driver’s seat and complete the steps above. Repeat as needed to achieve the career of your DREAMS.
You are the master of your destiny, not your company or anyone else. Devote time every day, week and month taking actions that will lead you closer to achieving your career goals.
