Joining the Dots: Using Your Career Timeline to Shape What Comes Next
Season 5 Episode 68
Summary
In this episode of The Leadership Lounge, I discuss navigating new job opportunities and career changes for healthcare leaders. I’ve got three steps that come up in all the conversations I have: first, reassessing your core values and strengths to clarify what matters most and what unique skills you bring; second, envisioning your future self and career goals to set a meaningful direction; and third, reflecting on your career history by creating a timeline to identify key leaps, what was left behind, gained, and how these shaped your current self. Understanding these elements helps in making confident, aligned career decisions. I’m starting to bring in insights from the book "10x is easier than 2x" about setting ambitious goals. While the book is still challenging my thinking in some respects, I’m pulling the wisdom that is super relevant here. This episode is all about encouraging self-reflection and offers practical prompts and resources to support you in your career transitions.
