During a recent meeting with my coach tribe, my colleague Joe Casey introduced this reflective practice as a reframe of New Year resolutions.

I'm inspired to do this myself and extend an invitation to all of you.

What am I going to do more of?

What am I going to do less of?

What do I want to start doing?

What do I want to stop doing?

Reflect on each area of your life. Friends, Health, Fun, Career, Money, Family, Love, and Spirituality. Think big

What did you notice? What did you learn about yourself?
What will you do next? Start with just one thing. Let me know in the chat.

Are you thinking about embarking on a career quest? Moving to something different in the new year?

Here's a general guide to help you navigate this process:

➡ Self-Assessment:

Identify your interests, skills, values, and passions. What activities do you enjoy? What are you good at? What is important to you in a job or career?

➡ Research:

Explore various career options that align with your self-assessment. Look into industries, job roles, and companies that interest you.

Consider the qualifications and skills required for your chosen field. Research educational and training requirements.

➡ Set Goals:

Establish short-term and long-term career goals. These goals should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).

➡ Education and Skill Development:

Determine if additional education or training is necessary to achieve your goals. This could include pursuing a degree or certification or gaining specific skills through workshops and online courses.

➡ Networking:

Build a professional network by connecting with colleagues, mentors, and professionals in your chosen field. Attend industry events, join professional organizations, and use online platforms like LinkedIn.

➡ Gain Experience:

Obtain practical experience through internships, part-time jobs, or volunteer opportunities. This hands-on experience can enhance your skills and make you more competitive in the job market.

➡ Resume Building:

Create a well-crafted resume that highlights your skills, experiences, and accomplishments. Tailor it to the specific job or industry you are targeting.

➡ Job Search:

Utilize various job search platforms, company websites, and networking connections to find job opportunities. Customize your application materials for each position you apply to.

➡ Interview Preparation:

Prepare for interviews by researching common interview questions, practicing your responses, and developing a list of questions to ask the interviewer. Dress professionally and be ready to discuss your qualifications and experiences.

➡ Continuous Learning and Adaptation:

Stay updated on industry trends, advancements, and changes. Consider further education or training to keep your skills current and relevant.

➡ Evaluate Offers:

When you receive job offers, carefully evaluate them based on your goals, values, and preferences. Consider salary, benefits, company culture, and growth opportunities.

➡ Settle and Plan for the Future:

Once you've secured a job, focus on integrating into the workplace, building relationships, and learning and growing in your role. Regularly revisit and adjust your career goals as needed.

Remember that a career quest is dynamic, and your goals and interests may evolve. Be open to new opportunities, continue learning, and adapt your career plan.

Today, I want to delve into a topic that often goes unspoken in our professional lives: unguarded thoughts. In the fast-paced world of business, we often find ourselves navigating through a sea of polished emails, rehearsed presentations, and carefully curated LinkedIn profiles. However, there is immense power in embracing vulnerability and acknowledging our unguarded thoughts.

In a world that celebrates perfection, it’s easy to forget that authenticity and genuine human connection lie at the heart of meaningful relationships, both personal and professional. Embracing our unguarded thoughts doesn’t mean airing every emotion or concern without filter; instead, it's about acknowledging our true feelings, fears, and uncertainties, and finding constructive ways to address them.

💡 Why Unguarded Thoughts Matter in the Workplace:

1️⃣ Fostering Innovation: When we allow ourselves to voice unguarded thoughts, we create an environment where innovative ideas can flourish. Some of the most groundbreaking concepts arise from the freedom to express unconventional opinions and perspectives.

2️⃣ Building Trust: Sharing unguarded thoughts fosters trust among team members. It shows that we value honesty and transparency, creating a culture where everyone feels heard and respected.

3️⃣ Enhancing Collaboration: Openly discussing unguarded thoughts encourages collaboration. It allows us to understand diverse viewpoints, leading to better problem-solving and more inclusive decision-making processes.

4️⃣ Personal Growth: Embracing vulnerability not only benefits teams but also supports individual growth. When we confront our unguarded thoughts, we learn more about ourselves, our strengths, and areas for improvement.

So, let’s challenge ourselves to be more open, more compassionate, and more understanding. Let’s create workplaces where unguarded thoughts are not only welcomed but celebrated—a place where authenticity is the cornerstone of success.

I encourage each one of you to take a moment today to reflect on your unguarded thoughts. How can you channel them into positive change within your professional sphere? Remember, it’s okay not to have all the answers; what matters is our willingness to explore the questions together.

Let’s continue this conversation. I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences regarding unguarded thoughts in the workplace. Feel free to share your insights below!
