Careering Tips Quick Read and Video Short
So what is career exploration—what I call careering—all about? It’s a process, a journey, about figuring out and learning more about your skills, talent, interests and passions. The fun and adventure on this journey is learning new things about what’s most important for yourself and about “trying on” the new and different.
But there’s a serious side too. After all, this work is about looking into what your career possibilities and potential opportunities might be. So, the truth is finding your passion is not about having fun all the time.
It’s also very much about looking for something that you can be committed to. Whether that’s a goal that speaks to your heart a change you want to see happen or a contribution you want to make.
Careering is about taking action. That goes for whether you’re exploring your interests or working on something you find fulfilling. And, oftentimes, it will take stepping out of your comfort zone. It also requires holding yourself—and, in some cases, others—accountable for taking various actions.
Even if these things may not be your favorite thing to do, remember that they are steps needed to fulfill on your goal or promise to yourself. It is for you to avail yourself every opportunity to pursue your goals, mission, and what you’re passionate about so that you can THRIVE. Careering is about discovering what it is you enjoy doing and are committed to.
So, to sum up, stay the course and remember: it’s wonderfully okay and great to start from exactly wherever you happen to be today.
It’s also to remind you that you’re well on your way to careering—so enjoy the journey, step into the leader within, and make a difference through your contribution to the world, by being you!
