How the latest trends in your industry & your personal values can influence your career journey – and create a better fit and alignment with what you want to accomplish.
How do you research industry and business trends? Why?
Are you aware of the industry and business trends in your job area? What are the drivers of those and what are their current challenges? Do you see a niche where you could contribute to? What are the networks, groups and people I should connect with or receive some fresh perspectives from? Who are the opinion leaders? What are the blogs, best practices and also journals I could look into internationally and locally.
The third step of your career clarity journey encompasses research and gathering of information about the sector, business area or function or fields you are interested in and want to return or transit to. Use this opportunity to reconnect with your ex-colleagues, career champions and allies.
Leverage the career clarity you will receive after reflecting on your strengths, skills and unique value proposition and also your ambitions and future interests (Step 1) and knowing how your ideal work/life day should look like (Step 2).
