Often, a lot of people don’t consider their career plans as they should-I’ve learned as a professional career coach. Take a few minutes to look back on the past year. Why not gain some perspective on what you’ve accomplished and learned? A wonderful career coaching exercise is conducting a personal annual career review provided that you look at the big picture. Annually, your career check-up should touch on how you want to live your life and issues close to you. Also, it should include creation of a plan for the next year

During your personal annual career review, ask yourself eight questions:

1. With my job: How happy have I been?

2. How happy have I been with my personal life?

3. How happy have I been with what I do for myself?

4. Did I regularly do something that expresses my values most strongly held?

5. What one thing about my job would I change if could?

6. What of my life did I leave out that I wish was there?

7. I admire a person whose life is?

8. For the next year, what should your game plan of your career look like?

A goal has a good positive end. It should not be something you hate or think you should do. It should be something you want. “I am going to exercise more” sounds nice, but it is one of those goals that will undoubtedly end up on the back shelf. Set goals like “I will walk three times a week for 30 minutes. I am going to find some kind of exercise I enjoy” instead.

A good strategy should move you toward something that you find enjoyable, fulfilling, productive, and rewarding. What do you find especially fulfilling in your life? What do you do that makes you lose all sense of time? Increasing what you find meaningful in your life can have a significant positive benefit for you, and for people around you.

Finding a good strategy should move you away from unproductive, unfulfilling, meaningless or unrewarding things and people. What in your day do you hate doing? What feels like a waste of your time? Who on the phone do you not enjoy talking with? If you decrease what you find unrewarding in your life, you will learn to give yourself a sense of internal control over what happens to you.

While change is difficult, you “can” lead the life you desire and make your goals a reality. Do not hesitate to contact a professional career coach for support and guidance, and remember to take baby steps toward your goals. Hiring a career coach can help you decide on what is most important; it is a smart investment. We work with you to achieve your goals.
