First Things First!


So, what is the MOST enjoyable AND successful thing you’ve ever

done in your career?

Stages of Professional Change


Age 17-24: DISCOVERY

Age 25-40: GROWTH

Age 40-55: DISENGAGE

Age 55+:TRANSITION

- Discover strengths and passions while exploring careers

- Most choose initial career path based on BOTH passions and strengths

- Rewarded on strengths; Career morphs to strengths

- Rewarded for tasks: “Get things done”

- Change career/job based on pursuit of “success” rather than passion

- Rewards are external

- Requirements shift: From Getting it Done to “Getting Results”

- Career lacks passion; Become restless and dissatisfied w/ career

- Focus either on future retirement or career altered by external forces (Lay-off, etc.)

- Yearn for meaning personally and professionally

- Fear retirement “wasteland”

Someone Moved My &*$!*& Cheese

Unemployment nationally is >10%; Unemployment for under age 25 is between 17-40%.

The percentage of unemployed workers who were permanently let go has hovered at a record high of over 50 percent for several months, an unforeseen phenomenon in our lifetime (post depression era).

Unemployed are unable to find work even after months/years of searching (average is 49 weeks). This group (generally older workers) have been unemployed who have been looking for jobs for more than six months is 45.9%, the highest in six decades.

Actually, they moved the entire restaurant and the grocery store!


The Employment Gap


National Average 10.2%

16-24 Age Group: Estimates are 17-40%

25-40 Age Group: Estimates ~8%

40-50 Age Group: Estimates ~6%

No data on Over 50, but expect its close to 15%

Unemployment by Age

Under-Employment Issue


In addition to unusually high unemployment rates, underemployment has reached record highs, especially for women and younger workers, under 25.

Market Perspectives and Career PhasesThird Biggest Career Path Mistake


What Did You Base Your Initial Career Decision On?


When Did that Change?

Third Biggest Career Mistake

The third biggest mistake is that starting in Career Phase 2 (Growth), we make career decisions based on strengths, rather than purpose (passion).– Rewarded based on strengths– Shift from an internal reward system (passion)

to an external reward system (corporate America)


Purpose = Passion + Strengths


My Purpose

My Passions

My Strengths

WORK GROUP ACTIVITY

1. Write down 10 strengths. Strengths come from your mind. What are you good at? Personal/professional.

2. Rank them (and re-rank) with 1 being the best strength.

3. Second, write down 10 passions. Passions come from your heart. What do you LOVE doing? They can be personal and/or professional.

4. Rank them (and re-rank) with 1 being the most passion.

5. Circle words from both lists where you sense ENERGY. Energy can be felt, heard, sensed. Choose carefully.

6. Raise your hand when finished and a workshop leader will review your list and provide a draft (time permitting).


Example:

STRENGTHS:1. Strategic

2. Good Listener

3. Inspiring/Leading

4. Great Speaker

5. Marketing Expert

6. Passionate

7. Training Others

8. Make the Complex Simple

9. Writing

10. Fitness/Exercise

PASSIONS:1. Inspiring People

2. Speaking/Training

3. Travel

4. Writing

5. Meditation/Prayer

6. Family

7. Great Food/Wine

8. Music

9. Leading Others

10. Beach

6. Raise your hand when finished and a workshop leader will review your list and provide a draft (time permitting).


ACTIVITY – PART 2:

1. Look at the strengths and passions, and “energy” words.

2. To develop a Purpose Statement draft, find one action verb that has the most energy from the list. If the same word is on both lists, that’s usually a pretty good indicator. (In the previous example, “inspiring” shows up on both lists, and has “energy” associated with it.) So the purpose statement begins with: “My purpose is to inspire…”

3. The next step is to ask “to what/whom?” So in this example, we’d ask “To inspire what?”

4. Begin to play around with the words, or ask for assistance.

5. Check final draft with workshop leader.


Example:

STRENGTHS:1. Strategic

2. Good Listener

3. Inspiring/Leading

4. Great Speaker

5. Marketing Expert

6. Passionate

7. Training Others

8. Make the Complex Simple

ACTIVITY – PART 2:

1. Look at strength, passions, and “energy” words.

2. Find one action verb with the most energy from the list.

3. Example: My purpose is TO INSPIRE…

4. Next ask, “To inspire what?”

5. Begin to play around with the words, or ask for assistance.

6. Check final draft with workshop leader.



Market Perspectives and Career PhasesThird Biggest Career Path MistakeFinding Your PurposeSecond Biggest Career Path Mistake


Second Biggest Career Mistake

We fear making any career course corrections (because we fear change)– Even though we’re designed to grow and prosper, we

“settle” for a job that doesn’t fulfill us because we’re afraid to change

– That fear debilitates us completely– We cycle through the same job(s) at different

companies and don’t face the truth. This cycle damages our self-esteem

– Passion is the career fuel, but we don’t have any!



Market Perspectives and Career PhasesThird Biggest Career Path MistakeFinding Your PurposeSecond Biggest Career Path MistakeThe Biggest Career Path Mistake


THE Biggest Career Mistake

We don’t build a career plan to move from where we are to what we want– We put our career on auto pilot and wait for the

companies to tell us what to do– We put ourselves at the mercy of our employers– Even though a career plan is easy to create… we don’t

do it! We don’t take control for the most important part of our lives (other than our families)

– This has devastating consequences to our happiness and our financial well being


The Find Your Purpose Workshop
