Career Development
Basically a good
person.
Took all the
advice.
Followed
conventional
wisdom.
Studied hard.
Hey! Great
Shoes!
BUT... BUT... BUT..

BUT!!!
You’re not
satisfied.
Six
Career
Lessons
You can try – but
it usually doesn’t
work out the
way you planned
Your career path may
look like this...
There is no
path…
Make smart
choices
Right. Don’t just let
frickin
random stuff happen!
Actually what he said in the movie was, “I want a
frickin 100 billion dollars....”
Two types of reasons for your
career choices...
Instrumental
reasons
Fundamental
reasons
Is this you?
Is this you?
Make smart (fundamental)
choices by:
• Clarifying the role competencies
• Assess skills, abilities and knowledge to
determine priorities
• Select best development options – build on
strengths
• Action, review and update your development plan
on a regular basis
BUT!
Achievers do not focus on what they
are bad at, they focus on
capitalizing on what they
are good at.
Based on research by
Martin Seligman and Marcus Buckingham
And we’re not referring to the Jack
Nicholson “insanely great” in The
Shining.
Make “that” insanely great by
getting the most out of you’re
your development plan:
• Update your plan on a regular basis
• Model the 70:20:10 principle
• Use SMART objectives
• Select courses that match role competencies
Is it finding
new
business?
Is it leading
a team?
What
the…?
It’s about
helping the
customer.
It’s about
helping the
customere.g., helping your customer in
ways they didn’t even know
possible
Your
mission?
-Know the competencies for your role
- Improve your competency level
- Have those career conversations
-Get that coaching
-Make sure your development plan is
relevant to you
If we learn from our mistakes,
then why not learn even more
from our BIG (excellent)
mistakes?
We’re not talking careless
blunders here – but the
“mistakes” you made when
you thought BIG and took a
chance.
Think about it…
We’re on this planet for a
very short time...
Why not make a difference?
Why not make a contribution?
Let’s
review..
• There is no plan
• Think strengths, not weaknesses
• It’s not about you
• Persistence trumps talent
• Make excellent mistakes
• Leave an imprint
