I wanted to hear her say \u201cplanning\u201d and \u201cready\u201d and \u201cchasing opportunity\u201d. The conversation brought home to me how many of us sit and wait for our career to happen and don\u2019t do anything to drive it.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Our career should not be something that happens to us. The days where people waited their turn for promotion are long gone. Today, if you want something, you need to go out and get it.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It worries me when I see people passively accepting what they are offered. They are letting someone else have control over their careers. What\u2019s worse is that often this is how they live their lives.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I want you to know <em>you<\/em> are in charge of your life and that includes your career.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">So, what did I do with my client?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You can make your own choices<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">First, I helped her realise she had power; power to make choices. She could choose when and how she wanted to manage and develop her career.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\">We started working on a career plan;<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>w<span data-contrast=\"auto\">here she wanted to go in her career,<\/span><\/li>\n<li>a<span data-contrast=\"auto\">ssessment of her current skills, knowledge and experience, and her readiness to move on from her comfort spot,<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">personal and professional development she would need along the way and where to get it,<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">and we identified specific roles she was interested in<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Together we put this information into a plan with some specific goals to work towards along the way<span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and ways to achieve them.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In many ways, this was the easiest part of the process. Challenging and changing the assumptions and behavioural patterns she\u2019d built up over time was much more difficult.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You can change your mind<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s funny, but there\u2019s a real difference between accepting you have power over your career choices<span data-contrast=\"auto\">,<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and accepting you have the power to act on them.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">One\u2019s conceptual and the other is practical, I guess.

While she was confident in her abilities, she wasn\u2019t used to speaking up and asking for what she wanted.
