The Career Change Maker Podcast I Career Change, Career Advancement & Leadership Development #159 - How To Position Yourself For Better Career Opportunities in 2022
In today’s episode I discuss how to position yourself for better career opportunities in 2022. This is a time of the year when everybody is talking about New Year's resolutions and forming new habits.
I also share how you can be approaching things differently when it comes to your career and career development.
Episode Highlights:
· 01:40 – I share that I want to talk about how you can do things differently in a sustainable way.
· 04:30 - The reason why so many people fail when it comes to setting new year resolutions.
· 07:30 – I want you to be thinking like an athlete as you approach your career this year.
· 09:40 – I suggest that you as an individual get to be the CEO of your career and need to do things on a day-to-day basis.
· 10:40 - The second thing that you need to be doing this year, so you can position yourself correctly is be strategic.
· 12:25 - If you're looking for strategy, and you're not sure exactly what you need to be doing, it’s possible for you to get support with that.
· 13:00 - The last thing you need to ask yourself is: do I have the resources that I need to meet the goal?
· 15:10 – You need to identify what resource gap is there, and what you need to be paying attention to so that you’re able to step up to what it is that you want to do.
· 16:15 - If you're surrounded by people who are of a similar mindset, and who want the same things that you want, it's so much easier for you to just be moving, be amongst people where there is momentum, and there is movement.
· 17:30 – I share how I’m planning to bring the community over to LinkedIn. This is going to be a think tank of different professionals who are looking at changing, advancing, and developing in their careers.
· 18:35 – I reiterate that to be successful, have your plan, be strategic, and arrange the essential resources; focussing on these three things is going to help you to get to where you want to go this year.
What you will learn:
1. Research has shown that only 8% of people who set New Year’s resolutions will follow through and be successful on those - They have great intentions at the start but by February or March, it goes a bit left, and then they don't follow through. So there are three things that I talk about, that you should be focused on throughout the year when it comes to your career development.
2. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail - Because if you don't have a plan, you cannot make it to reality. So having a plan, taking the time to map out, and putting the plan in place so that you can be successful is important.
3. A bonus thing you can do - Surround yourself with people who are doing what it is you want to do, or who are on the journey. Getting into a community is super important as that is going to accelerate your results.
