As we settle into our new normal in life, this is a great time to focus on things we have put aside to survive this past year. We spend a lot of time at work and deserve to be happy and accomplish our professional goals. I believe that we should own our development and take action to build our dream careers.
 
In this blog post, we will explore five ways to recharge your career journey and thrive professionally.
 
Envision your dream career
Allowing yourself to dream about where you want to go in your career is essential. It is very easy to settle into the day-to-day of your job and forget about your career dreams and aspirations. Remembering what inspires you professionally is a great step to rekindle the excitement.
 
Strategies to consider
  • Ask yourself what your dream job is
  • Create a professional vision board or plan
  • Follow the professional journeys of people you admire
 
Check-in on your career goals
To accomplish great career success, you need to be working towards your goals. Take stock of where you are today compared to where you want to be professionally. It is crucial to check in on your goals regularly and measure the progress you are making.
 
Strategies to consider
  • Write down your professional goals
  • Explore what you think has been holding you back
  • Look at your career journey and your accomplishments
 
Build and leverage your career support group
When you have companions on your professional journey, you are more likely to accomplish your goals. Surround yourself with people who inspire you, provide guidance, give your feedback, act as a sounding board for your ideas and support your development. You don't have to go through your professional journey on your own.
 
Strategies to consider
  • Reach out to your sponsor and mentors
  • Have accountability partners who check in on your progress
  • Join professional groups and expand your network
 
Update your plan
Having a professional development plan is crucial to building a successful career. The intention is to document the steps you want to take and plan for them. Spending time planning will provide the clarity you need about what it would take to accomplish your goals.
 
Strategies to consider
  • Document the steps you will take to accomplish the next step on your career development plan
  • Do your research to gain more clarity on what you need to do
  • Commit to taking the steps on your plan
 
Take action towards your goals
Now that you have checked the progress you made, refreshed your goals, and updated your plan, it's time to take action. Putting in the work is the best way to develop your career. When you look back at this time in your life, you want to see the progress you have made in your career.
 
Strategies to consider
  • Take steps towards accomplishing your goals
  • Continue learning and developing new skills
  • Track your progress regularly
 
Great Resources
  • Own your career development
  • How to find and build relationships with your professional allies
  • How to ask for what you want at work
  • How to build a professional network
  • Telling your Career story
 
Call to Action
  • Are you where you want to be at this stage in your career?
  • What are your big career goals?
  • What are you going to do within the next month to accomplish your career goals?
