Welcome to CareerTruth. You’re taking the first step towards personal fulfillment in your career and your life. Did you know that around 70% of all working-age people are actively looking for a job change and only 21% of employees are actively engaged at work? People tend to be reactive in their careers, constantly seeking the next manager, or pay increase, or work culture. But there is a better way where you can take charge and be proactive.
At CareerTruth, we believe your career should complement and enhance your happiness in life. To that end, your career is a journey that you must be the owner of. Think about it—if you’re not in the driver’s seat, then who is? Our philosophy is either own your career or be owned. It’s that simple. Yet very few people have their own career plan.
So, what does that look like? CareerTruth guides you through a series of experiences to build an evergreen career inventory and plan that clarifies your purpose and initiates a lifelong path to success, however you define success in your life and work. You’ll own your personal career plan while gaining tailored insights, tools, and coaching via the CareerTruth platform. Your plan will evolve and adapt over time as your life, needs and aspirations change.
It focuses on three arcs of your career. Achieving Mastery, Seeking Freedom, and Leaving Legacy.
Achieving Mastery is about honing your craft and your ability to create value. These are the skills, competencies, and knowledge learned throughout your education and career. It also encompasses leadership skills and professional career stages. Most career planning approaches focus only on the Mastery domain, but CareerTruth philosophy goes further.
Seeking Freedom is about being true to yourself. It’s about doing what’s best for you at any given time. We encourage you to think about Work-Life Flow and what might be preventing you from living your best life. Career decisions come with opportunity costs around how much lifetime you spend on work, family, and travel, or how much financial risk or gain you wish to attain. The idea is to make room in your life for the things you want, so you can have “freedom for” things instead of “freedom from” things.
The third arc is Leaving Legacy. Here we prompt you to broaden your thinking to why you work and the number of people you positively impact, which is the measure of your life’s success. This arc is about going beyond yourself and thinking about others and the world around you.
You’ll build a plan considering all three arcs, and we’ll guide you to consider the cross-arc implications. CareerTruth is your evergreen career management tool that will allow you to create a career plan across every season, provide you with insights, tools and resources that help you develop, and a community to support your personal career needs. We’re excited to get you in the driver’s seat. Let’s get started.
