spoke of the wheel

that represent where

you are at right now in

your career. Give

yourself time to think

about your response,

be honest, and don't

rush it!

You Career Wheel will

look something like

this after the exercise.

You Career Wheel may

look bigger or smaller,

smoother or uneven.

You now have a visual representation

of your levels of satisfaction in all

seven areas. This level of awareness

will help you understand why you feel

the way you do and hopefully kick start

a change. We are told that awareness

if 90% of the journey!

to do with this information. You may

want to talk with trusted friend or

colleague, a mentor or coach to gain

further insight on moving forward.

QUESTIONS TO MOVE FORWARD.

DO IT YOURSELF OR GETSOMEONE TO HELP…

What led me to this rating?

What is within my sphere of influence?

Who can help me to decide my next steps?

What can I start changing today?

You decide the change.

You decide the time.For some people, it will be a time for stretching and challenging yourself to be even

better! The bigger and smoother the Career Wheel the happier you generally are in your

career. For others it will be a signal that's it's time to move on because the differences in

values between you and your organisation are irreconcilable.

Most of us will feel that this exercise in awareness has shed some much needed light

onto what we've suspected for some time. You may know what to do immediately! But go

slow, be thoughtful and strategic. Resist the temptation to do too much too soon. Give

yourself a week in each section to really lay some solid foundations for the rest of your

career. Ultimately, your fulfilment and satisfaction in your career is up to you, so what will

you start on today?
