Yesterday, I had a conversation with one of my trainees. She asked me, โ€œWhat if I don't know enough? What if I can't do this work because I must first become the product, the role model, the example to follow?โ€

No one wakes up one day and has all the answers. And the difference between someone who is smashing it and someone who is stuck in one place is the steps they take. Who will kick you in your ๐Ÿ‘ if not you?

What can you do if you don't know all the answers? We keep going, and you are honest about not having all the answers. You are humble and passionate. You can be authentic.

We all learn as we go; some of us hide it better ;)

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป So, how do you recognise if you can't do your job or have imposter syndrome? If quitting feels like a loss. If when you think you will be worse off not doing than doing. You take your fear and make a step, one step at a time, and as you are afraid, you keep going. Regardless. Slowly but consistently.

And if you need to pick me up, brainstorming or just proper personal development, โ€œtalkโ€. I'm here ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

๐Ÿ”บ Self-reflection in career development

You might be a manager, project coordinator or just looking for some tips on how to plan your career.

I have experience in project and people management. I worked with volunteers in 3rd sector organisations for the last 5 years and I can tell you that it is crucial, that manager and leader, support their teams to develop and grow.

๐Ÿชœ I like to work in this 3 step process (just like a ladder when you are getting to the purpose of your exploration). Ask yourself those questions:

โ˜€ Step 1: Self-Reflection
Who am I, at my core?
What are my origins and what drives my vitality?
What are my strengths and talents?
How do I envision living my life?

๐Ÿ“ˆ Step 2: Career Aspirations
What has my professional journey been like thus far?
What are my long-term career aspirations?
What is my ideal job or career path?
What values are crucial to me in my professional life?

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŽ“ Step 3: Personal Growth
What resources can aid me in reaching my objectives?
What steps do I need to take to enhance my proficiency in...?
Who in my network can provide support and guidance?

๐Ÿฅณ And now you can start drafting your career and development plan.

These steps are important for you too. You are responsible for your career pathway. There is no one there to kick you in the a... and tell you what to do. You need to be your biggest cheerleader. Sometimes you will fail, and take a step back, but you know how you want to live your life. And you can achieve this.

If you would like to work out a development plan for your team or organisation - just drop me a message.
