A short career planning workshop that I have put together for the students of GIM. I'm over to talk at Samriddhi and thought it might be a good idea to make the most of the time that I am there...

2. Career Planning Workshop
Why?

3. “When I was a little boy, my parents told me
what to do, and scolded me if I didn’t. When I
went to school, my teachers told me what to do
and caned me if I didn’t. When I joined the army,
the sergeant told me what to do, and God help
me if I didn’t, so I did!! When I got my first job, my
boss told me what to do too. So when I reached
a position of some authority, what did I do? I
told people what to do, because that is what all
my role models had done. That is true for the
majority of us. We have been brought up on
telling – and we are very good at it .”
- Sir John Whitmore

objectively at what drives you.
Exploration – offers means to get the
information and knowledge to identify

how they can get information they currently
don’t have in order to make more informed
