Questions
Seth Godin writes on his blog about 8 questions you should ask.
Now, reading those questions on his blog and looking at this blog about career and future coaching, you might want to ask similar questions.
1) Who are you trying to please with your career choice? Are you just wanting to become a hair dresser because your mum always said you should?
2) What are you promising yourself from your career choice?
3) How much money are you trying/hoping to make with your career?
4) How much freedom are you willing to trade for your career opportunity?
5) What are you trying to change? – this question could be relevant if you are thinking of changing jobs.
6) What do you want people to say about you? This could be very important to ask – are you choosing to be a banker because you want other people to think of you in a certain way?
Always ask WHY? after each of those questions.
Example:
I want to be a mechanic. Why?
Because I am interested in cars and interested in helping people getting back on the road. Why?
That means I can fulfil my value for helping others and growing/learning because I can find out more about cars.
Does that help?
Thank you Seth for the pointer.
