The Importance of Dreaming Big

When defining our ideal career, it is crucial to allow ourselves to dream big and move beyond what we currently know or have experienced. By expanding our mindset and tapping into the collective unconscious, we can uncover aspirations and possibilities we never thought possible. The ideal career profile, consisting of seven elements such as contribution, flexibility, and growth, helps identify the minimums (deal breakers) and ideals for each element. Separating the minimums from the ideals is essential, as addressing the pressing needs first provides the psychological freedom to dream and think more broadly. Coaching and discussing with others can also help uncover deeper layers and specific desires that go beyond initial assumptions about work.
