Opis

It's been said that some people spend more time planning a vacation than they do planning their careers. And they end up with a career by default, rather than a career by design. And many of these people are highly skilled professionals who are successful on the surface and unhappy underneath. They've done what they think they should do, enjoyed lots of kudos, and created a lifestyle based on doing work that, truth be told, drains their energy daily. And some people are just starting in their careers and would like to be more strategic from the early days in their career planning so they don't follow that path. In either situation, this workbook can help you chart a career course that works for you. This workbook will help you boost your productivity, enjoy your work more, get promoted and recognized for your contributions, develop the people who work with you, and eliminate energy- draining activities. The workbook includes inventories and guides you through a step-by-step process that will enable you to assess your personality, values, needs, interests, strengths and skills. This updated version of Dr. Robin's popular workshop references and integrates information from the MBTI, the Birkman Method, Lominger VOICES 360 feedback, and Strengthfinders assessments. Each Career by Design tip has an associated tool so you can strategically re-invent, re-focus, and re-balance your life. The tips are: Use your values-based mission statement to make decisions consistent with your most cherished values. Plant a S.E.E.D. when you are not happy with your current job but you do not want to quit - Sideways move, Enrich your job, Explore options, or Downshift strategically. Prepare a 2-minute speech delineating your contributions, your top skills, and the direction you want your career to take. Negotiate in your performance reviews to focus more on what you do well and skills you want to develop. Balance work with other aspects of your life. Make time for your priorities. This workbook helps you chart your career path. And this chart is a helpful guide whether you're at the beginning or in the middle of your journey, or helping others along their journey.
