As we start the New Year, now is the ideal time to set your career intentions. With this year not only being the start of a new decade but also a number that represents clarity of vision. What better time to build a plan that will take you to the next level of success?


Start by reviewing your career to date...

What have been your highlights? What have been your challenges? What job were you doing when you were at your happiest? Why did that job make you feel happy?


Let’s look at your long term goals...

Where do you see yourself in 5/10 years time? Are there any specifics about how you want to be working, from home or part time for example? What job role do you want to be in?

Start plotting out a timeline of events that need to occur in order to reach your long term goals. For example, do you need any qualifications/training and how long will this take to complete?


Goals for 2020...

What small steps can you take this year to help you reach your long term goals? How do you want to feel? Are there any changes you can make to improve your current workplace? Where do you want to be by the end of 2020?

Make sure your goals a SMART... specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound. Completing these goals should be a clear indication that you’re getting closer to achieving your vision.
