Many of us assume that choosing a new career requires deep soul-searching or a flash of inspiration. The result? We overthink our options and delay taking action.
Steve Dalton believes there鈥檚 a faster, more practical approach. Rather than trying to identify the 鈥減erfect鈥 career from the comfort of your desk, he advocates a series of quick exercises we can all use to generate ideas. Once we have a hypothesis we can start to test (via networking) in the real world, making progress and gathering evidence at the same time.
In this webinar we will discuss Steve鈥檚 鈥渇ast prototyping鈥 approach to career choice, in particular:
- Five practical methods听to generate听new career ideas
- Two exercises that you can complete at home in听less than five minutes
- How听many career pathways听to explore at any time
- How to find (and learn from) people already in the听career you are targeting
- How to make听confident career decisions听without feeling you need all the answers first
- Why听not knowing听what you 鈥渨ant to do with your life鈥 is a听great place to start
