Go for the WIN!

Sometimes navigating careers in the context of an organization landscape and WINNING is challenging. The complexity in pulling it all together and executing against one’s personal vision and plan is thrilling and frustrating. IN THIS SESSION, we shared insights that helped participants clarify their professional focus and better understand the conditions in which they can maximize what they have to offer for purposes of creating greater value. The goal is to experience career win/wins.

10 Steps In Navigating Career WINS:

  1. Your vision & mission statement are the “true north” that enable you to live with integrity. If you haven’t yet put pen to paper, put in the work. It will save you time and frustration on your journey.
  2. Stay in tune with your organization’s talent needs and business goals. Make sure the work you are doing consistently contributes to the organization’s success.
  3. Develop a portfolio of transferrable skills.
  4. Go for experiences that allow you to fully develop and flex those skills, while creating depth in a particular profession.
  5. Develop meaningful relationships.
  6. Establish a reputation as a significant contributor that knows the business and gets stuff done.
  7. Never be blinded or bound by industry or loyalty to a Company or person — at the expense of yourself. Go for the win/win.
  8. Build your emotional intelligence.
  9. Consistently work at knowing your areas for development that merge as a result of: the way you see yourself + the way others see you + who you want to be.
  10. You are your best advocate: (a) Initiate your own development; (b) Give voice to the good work you are doing.

Don’t settle for good. With just a little more work you could be great — go for the WIN!
