Career Change - Think About Doing the Impossible

151558-265695-thumbnail.jpgOnce you have some thoughts about what you love doing and what you love doing you can start to think of some ideas for possible changes to make to your work and work environment. Ask yourself

‘What do you enjoy about your current role? Does it turn you on in the way you think it should? How can I do more of those things? What are some of the things I can change without radically moving my career capability?’

Don’t be afraid to include strange and uncommon ideas at this stage – like any brainstorming you should try not to rule out any options unitl you’ve had a chance to think them through.

It’s great to do this exercise with your coach, friends and family (although the proviso is that your relations might only have the same knowledge about what’s possible as you. You might even share these ideas with your boss. You never know he or she may spend some time improving your situation, after all that’s is what bosses are for ‘Carrying water for their people.’
