How to Set (the right!) Career Goals for 2024
Manage episode 394881353 series 2988727
When it comes to setting career goals, most people start in the wrong place. They sit down with a blank piece of paper and try to squeeze out a list of things they think they 'should' be doing over the next year.
The result is that the goals remain some words on a bit of paper that have no real meaning and you certainly don't take any action towards achieving them.
In this episode of The Career Confidence Podcast, I share a different approach to gaol setting. I talk about:
- The power of reflecting on the year just gone.
- Filters you can use to check if you have the right goals.
- How to make your goals SMARTER (don't be put off by SMART goals, they shouldn't be your starting point but used properly, a SMART filter can be a gamechanger).
