Here is what you will find inside:
Each section in this book is designed around a career success principle and has some theory for the theorists, practical application for the pragmatists, reflection points for the reflectors and oodles of experiential activity for the activists. To get what you most need, you are encouraged to scan the sections you find a little theoretical and dive more deeply into the areas that resonate.
Principle 1: The Art of Mindfulness
This principle explores the kinds of work related skills, abilities, behaviours and thinking, which will be in demand in the future. Looking at research from futurologists you will be encouraged to think about what you need to do to ensure you adapt and evolve to make sure you have the skills and knowledge for tomorrow's workplace.
Principle 2: Know Thyself
Know Thyself moves you beyond the traditional activities found in the career management space as it assumes you know your experience, skills and qualifications. It seeks to get you to identify the unconscious knowledge you hold about yourself and to gain clarity on your core attributes through the exploration of your multiple identities.
Principle 3: Always Go North
This principle supports you in getting clear about what you want and the reasons why you want what you do.
In this section you will create a magnetic North Star that will begin to pull you unconsciously towards the future you’ve mapped out for yourself.
Principle 4: Step on the Path
Career success by design occurs when you know: who you are, where you come from, where you are now and where you are going. This principle focuses on cartography, the ability to design a unique and personalised career success map and to identify and overcome any obstacles in its path.
Principle 5: Plug in to Action
As in computing a plug-in is a component that adds specific capabilities to a generic application. Career success plug-in’s contains essential additions to your career management plan to ensure your career development strategy is achieved.
The book closes with guidance on the creation of your career canvas and a career planning health warning.
