You have decided to own your career by continuously growing to achieve Mastery, create Freedom, and leave a purpose-filled Legacy. This growth is a lifelong pursuit, and CareerTruth wants you to start by setting two Prioritized Professional Goals you can pursue within your current situation.
These goals are the near-term outcomes for your professional development. Later in CareerTruth, you can create detailed action plans that help you meet your goal. Once you have improved significantly through those actions to meet the professional goal, you can mark your achievement and set a new professional goal and action plan for each new goal.
There are 14 types of Professional Prioritized Goals for you to choose and create near-term outcomes that build to long-term objectives to achieve Mastery. These professional goals are the building blocks on your career. Whether you wish to improve your technical skills, develop as a leader, or dive into your purpose, CareerTruth will help. There are also areas of professional development to help you be “of” the market in your career by building your brand or improving your network. Or you may want to be a better advocate for yourself or secure a stretch assignment. Within the 14 goals are many options for creating meaningful development actions and sharing them with your coach, advisor, or direct leader.
By showing professional growth, you will increase your value to your company and the market. Expanding your professional value puts you in a position of strength and provides unlimited potential for your personal goals to be met or exceeded. Once you have a defined purpose statement and vision of success, you will be in a rhythm of setting, accomplishing, and updating professional and personal goals and actions that become the habit of innovation and continuous career improvement.
Set two goals today, and you will be on your way to owning your career.
