A Fitness Plan for your Career

  • Take time out quarterly to take stock of what’s working well in your career, and what’s not.
  • Focus on the next positive step rather than trying to make a 20-year plan.
  • Ask yourself what you could add or change on your current job to do more of what you want.
  • Consider learning new skills or trying freelance gigs as a way of discovering new passions.
  • Keep a career journal to help you recall details and notice patterns in your skills and accomplishments.
  • Build your reputation by writing or speaking publicly about new developments in your field.
  • Expand your network beyond past and present colleagues to include others in your field, industry and region.
