Improve your leadership skills
Are you as effective in your job as you want, and need, to be?
Will your decisions drive results?
Do the people around you think you’re ready for the role you want?
Being a good leader isn’t about being born with a certain set of characteristics, it’s about being engaged in an on-going examination of your skills and how to best capitalize on them, then taking focused action. Being effective demands a clear-eyed view of the realities in which you operate as well as a compelling vision for the future. Strong leadership comes from the questions you ask yourself, the choices you make, what those choices convey about you, and the impact they have. It can be challenging, if not impossible, to ask and answer these questions fully on your own and without a directive process.
Have a career that’s satisfying and successful
What does success look like for you?
What motivates you professionally?
How can you keep your skills, interests, and career goals aligned as you advance?
Your professional skills and personal qualities create a unique alchemy that equips you to excel in specific ways—and conversely, that block you when you’re in the wrong environment and/or doing work that doesn’t suit you. When you’re clear about what you can uniquely offer professionally, why, and how and where to channel your talents, achievement and fulfillment travel hand in hand.
From time to time, you may feel “done” with your current career, or need to find better balance, or reach a level you thought would satisfy you only to find it’s taken you far away from what drew you into your line of work. You may revisit the same questions and doubts about your career before you feel ready to make a change. Even when you’re clear about the direction you want to take, you may not be clear about the best way to proceed.
Changing direction demands a new route and the best path is unlikely to be a straight line. As a result, making a change can feel destabilizing and frustrating. What look like shortcuts may be dead ends. Confidence in knowing why you’re changing direction and the trade-offs you’re willing to make will put the frustration in perspective and bring you closer to your destination.
