We are kicking off a new series called “Your Map to Professional Growth.” The goal of this series is to give you ideas for how you can take ownership of your career. Each episode will center around a different blueprint for growing professionally.

But all of these tools are useless, just like a map, if you don’t know where you want to go.

With that in mind, it seems fitting to kick off this series with a conversation about setting professional goals for yourself. In particular, there are 3 types of goals that we are discussing to help you give clarity to your career and define your Northstar.

Having a sense of your professional goals and what you want from your career, at least in the near term future, is going to give you a starting place when implementing the strategies that we will be talking about in the rest of this series.

So if you’re ready to get serious about your professional growth, understand the map ahead, and pick a direction that is going to get you excited, let’s get into it.

Key Takeaways:

3 types of professionals goals to set for yourself
4 questions to ask yourself to decide what skills you need to focus on
Deciding on the next stop of your career path
Putting numbers to your financial targets
