LEARN THE STRATEGY

What is an Intentional Career?

There are a series of predictable and repeatable steps to creating an intentional career. From one that unconsciously unfolds in front of you, to a purpose-driven career that feels fulfilling.

Stage 1

An unconscious career is one that largely unfolds in front of you, the next opportunity presents itself to you. The hallmarks of stage 1 are feeling the need to prove yourself by saying yes to everything and becoming the go to person to get things done.

Stage 2

Stage 2 is when you have been stretched beyond sustainable working for sometime and you are feeling underappreciated and underpaid for all that hard work. In addition, you may also be overlooked for new roles and opportunities.

Stage 3

Stage 3 is unsustainable. This is when you know you have years ahead in your career, but no clarity on ‘what’s next?’ and your confidence has been eroded rather than strengthened overtime. You may feel simultaneously like you have to change something but you also feel stuck where you are due to the lack of time, confidence, or clarity. Beware of stage 3, and watch out for impulsivity. This is not the moment to have bright shiny object syndrome, and decide to quit your job, or just take the next opportunity out, in order to get away from your current situation. This is fear-based action. Instead, I am a huge advocate for resourcing yourself with the tools to optimise your current situation whilst simultaneously defining what you do want and moving towards that with intentional actions.

Stage 4

If you are in stages 1, 2, or 3 the choices are either to accept your current situation as it is, without wanting to change a thing at all. If you cannot do that, it is time to make a change to shift yourself into stages 4 and then 5. The Career Design Mastermind is designed to support you to define your value: vision, purpose, mission, natural talents, and values and synthesise this information into clear opportunities for Career Pivots® all whilst improving your confidence and work-life balance.

Stage 5

At stage 5, you can self-navigate your next Career Pivots® because you have all the strategy for intentional implementation. You will identify blocks to your progression and learn how to move through them confidently to create true authenticity which unlocks your latent potential.

The Career Design Mastermind supports you to make the shift from unconscious, unfulfilled, or unsustainable (1, 2, or 3) to purposeful and valued (4 & 5) by harnessing the six strategic steps of the Career Pivots® Compass framework.

This course helped me to understand my own talents and passions, now I am able to purposefully shape the actions I take at work and confidently decline opportunities that are not aligned.

The Career Pivots® Framework

Being a conscious architect of your career involves six strategic steps using our proprietary Career Pivots® Compass framework.

If you are considering, ‘what’s next?’ in your career, you are asking a much bigger question of yourself. The Career Design Mastermind™ is more than just a set of technical skills to win at being selected. While it has all of the practical elements you would expect, it is much more than that. An introspective journey to understand who you really are, and how to express your purpose in the world in six strategic steps.

1. Time & Energy Management

You can’t get the clarity you are looking for without carving out any time in your schedule for personal and professional development. Develop high performance accountability habits, supported by a dedicated app, to create the space to work ON your career while balancing the people and things that mean most to you.

2. Overcoming Limitations

If you design a career from eroded confidence, you are keeping yourselves small. Work through my VOICE™ methodology to identify and overcome your personal limitations so you can create a career from the most resourced place possible, opening up a treasure chest of new potential within you.

3. Leadership Pathways

Develop a leadership pathway based on your natural talents and strengths and find mitigation strategies for your blind spots. This will help you to identify roles which are a perfect match for you, designing more joy, flow, and excellence in your work. You will also identify how to flex your leadership and communication style to work more effectively with and through other people.

4. Career Pivots®

Make the shift from proving to adding value by connecting the 'dots' between your purpose, mission, and vision while avoiding the capability trap, disconnected vision, and values conflicts. Gaining crystal clear clarity on the next step to take in your career which is more fulfilling than the last. Knowing that every Career Pivot® you make will move you closer and closer to your blissful purpose.

5. Professional Positioning

Professional positioning is a way to create your next Career Pivot® using personal branding and online networking strategies. Alongside this step runs all of the practical elements of CVs, cover letters, and interview techniques.

6. Propelling Strategies

Implementing propelling strategies helps you to capitalise upon the transition by learning techniques to negotiate your salary, create a 1-year professional development plan, develop a 30-60-90-day transition framework which will increase your chances of being promoted within the next 18-months.

These six steps are a powerful guide but strategy is nothing without implementation. The Career Design Mastermind accelerator creates a high-performance environment, dedicated to one thing: action. When you delve deep into these six strategic steps and implement them with excellence, the clarity and changes you will make in your life and career will be profound.
