10 questions to identify your new career
Do you feel like like a square peg in a round hole? Are you wondering if you have been concentrating on the wrong career field? Or perhaps you have made redundant and now want to explore new ideas.
Below are some questions you can ask yourself to help explore your ambitions and gain more clarity on what you’d like to do.
Speaking Out
Speaking Out
At some point whilst running a new business you’ll probably have to stand up in front of a room of people and say what you do.
For many people this can be a terrifying experience. Minds go blank. Palms go sweaty. Often there’s a sleepless night at the thought doing it in the first place. Even if your reaction to public speaking is more muted, and it’s simply that you dislike it, imagine how your life would be different if you could reframe your perspective and make speaking publicly something that you actually enjoyed!
We have a 3 step plan to share which will support you when you getting ready to speak publicly:
Creating a personal mission statement
Facilitating a recent workshop with a group of passionate young youth workers, we invited them to create their personal mission statement for the next stage of their youth work journey.
Businesses spend a lot of time and money getting their mission statements right, because without a clear mission statement, you may drift off course. And if you don’t know where you are going any road will take you there. This is how we often “fall into” careers. With a mission statement, you can measure every activity against it and make sure you’re on the right road to where you want to go.
A clear mission statement will keep you clear-headed and out of trouble.
Making Decisions From a Good State of Mind
Wouldn't you love to know that with every decision you make and every action you take - you are heading in the direction that's right you?
Life is a seemly endless series of decisions. Some as simple as what to eat for dinner, and others as complex as what degree to choose or whether to start your own business.
Each decision, regardless of its complexity or simplicity, influences and molds your life. Each decision big and small counts!
How do you ensure that you are making the best decisions for you?

Ok, so now you’re looking for a job. You’ve got your CV ready, you’ve applied for job vacancies, you go to the interview and then you are turned down for “lack of experience.”
“Lack of experience,” is the number one reason a young person is turned down for a job role.
How is a person meant to gain experience in the workplace if they are not given the chance or opportunity to prove themselves?
Now, more than ever, there is more and more competition in the workplace, meaning the need to promote yourself has become increasingly important.More Articles...
