Journal your way to career satisfaction
Discover your key career motivations, skills and interests through the process of journaling.
Description
This course is designed for early- and mid-career professionals who seek more meaning and satisfaction or a better work-life balance. It is a journaling course, which means that throughout the whole process you will be receiving writing prompts and putting down your answers on a page. The course consists of three main sections: Past, Present, and Future, and in each one you will examine a different part of your career - what you have done so far, your current situation, and your plans, goals and hopes for the coming years. The final part of the course will help you plan specific, actionable steps to actually make the changes you need in your working life.
Journaling is a fantastic way not only to explore your thoughts and feelings (and to relax!), but also to identify important patterns and themes in your career, to build self-awareness, and to prioritise for the future - to make better, more consistent plans. The course is based on the idea of self-coaching, which is the art of asking yourself the right kind of questions that encourage reflection and generate solutions.
In each section of the course, you will watch an introductory lecture which explains what you're going to journal about, why you're doing it, how to do it and, additionally, in all lectures I will present some interesting theoretical concepts that can help you when you think about your career success. You will also receive downloadable materials in the form of interactive PDFs, which you can use to write your journal on the screen, or you can print them out to journal by hand.
I hope you will join me on this journey of deeper self-reflection, focused on what makes sense in your working life. Enjoy!
