First step: block two hours and brain dump

Before you set another career goal, hit pause — it’s time for a career audit. Career coach and product marketing pro Saniya Waghray Tyagi shares how to reflect on the past year, clarify what’s working (and what’s not), and set intentional goals that align your energy, environment, and ambitions for 2026.

You’ll learn:

1. The five key areas to evaluate in your career audit — and how to spot when you’re overdue for one.
2. How to turn reflection into action using Saniya’s “power of three” goal-setting method.
3. Simple tools to make your audit feel doable — including the “Skill-Based Smile File.”
