Everyone needs people in their lives they can count on for sound support and advice. Companies have an objective Board of Directors or Advisors that are established to make sure the CEO or owner has important insights to create the best business outcomes. You are the CEO of your business; your career is the business of your life. It is very common for people to have multiple people in their life who they rely on for insights to help them make decisions. However, most people do not have a consistent set of experienced advisors they can trust to have regular interactions using up to date information. CareerTruth provides you the platform and tools to create your own Board of Advisors for regular and effective on-demand access.
There are several reasons to have a personal Board of Advisors as it relates to your CareerTruth and the three arcs of your career: Achieving Mastery, Seeking Freedom, and Leaving Legacy. In achieving Mastery you should consider advisors who can objectively provide insights on your Professional Inventory and Professional Goals, help you consider your gaps, support development actions, or if you should take a new role. In seeking Freedom, you may select an advisor that helps you objectively evaluate your work life flow, your use of time to meet your personal goals aligned to your family and financials, or help you determine whether you should adjust your schedule for health or mental needs. In understanding your Legacy, an Advisor could provide insights on how you have been impacted by other’s legacies, how you can be your best for your family, community or work, and how you can increase your influence so others benefit.
The CareerTruth platform offers you and your Board the opportunity to interact as often as you like without needing to commit to dozens of coffees, calls, and other meetings. Advisors are often excited to pour into others, but the interactions are unfulfilling or difficult due time commitments and lack of accountability. CareerTruth wants to make your Board of Advisors an important part of your CareerTruth process and provides a centralized place to foster this relationship using in app “chat” for regular updates that allow for accountability and sharing between personal interactions off CareerTruth.
Once you have asked these key figures to serve on your Board, you will be provided a customizable email that outlines Advisor expectations, a sample goal they’d be assigned to help you meet and a link to build their own CareerTruth account within the platform. While CareerTruth is helping to formalize the Board of Advisor relationship for you, we also want the process to be seamless and supported well by our technology.
Your Board can be a powerful accelerant to your career. No matter what your situation, we all need objective and smart support we can trust. CareerTruth will help you activate this powerful accelerator and build great relationships that will provide insights, open new networks to you, and provide the accountability and support needed to help you be your best to fulfill your CareerTruth.
