Career Development Articles
Career development has never been as important as it is today. Investing in your career is paramount to your families well being, your retirement, and ultimately, your own personal fullfilment. Having the satisfaction of no regrets as we seek retirement seems to be what most of us are working towards. And - if you’ve decided that transitioning to a new career called, “home” is the place for you, retiring with peace of mind is important.
Let’s begin establishing goals that allow us to balance work and family, enjoy life, engage in a new hobby, but more importantly, plan for retirement. What does that mean in the practical sense? It means- establishing goals that are obtainable - 1 year, 3 year, 5 year. Envision doing what you do in the next 3 to 5 years? Are you at a good place? Should you make changes now in order to reach the more obtainable goals or should you depend on happenstance to make it HAPPEN? The answer is easy - you are all you have. Your determination will dictate your success. It all starts with YOU!
Begin now making changes that will sustain you for years to come. Seek professionals for career development, resume preparation, job readiness - (www.resumeexecutivecoach.com) or (www.hooverwebdesign.com). Read, read, read every professional development book known to man. A couple of suggestions: “Good to Great,” by Jim Collins, “Leadership and the One Minute Manager,” by Ken Blanchard, and “Minority Rules,” by Ken Blanchard are three of my favorites. Visit www.barnesandnoble.com for more fabulous leadership book options.
