Reflecting on Your Career Aspirations
What would a successful career look like for you? Can you clearly articulate your career aspirations? Do you what you need and want from your career? And when? Do you know what it's going to take to achieve the kind of success you want? These and other career questions can be difficult to answer without doing some soul-searching. Career athletes know that reflection is an important career muscle that helps them achieve a clear sense of direction, so that they can focus their career development efforts on the right activities for them.
In this video course, you'll learn how to get the most out of the reflection process, yielding insights that will help you chart a path for your career. If you're working with a professional coach, that's great; but even if you're not, you'll be supported through this reflection process by your "TV Coach," Dr. Gus Prestera. Through a 45-minute series of on-demand instructional videos, Gus will walk you through the process and share tips and best practices along the way, gleaned from his team's executive coaching experience and industry research.
