Many of us assume that choosing a new career requires deep soul-searching or a flash of inspiration. The result? We overthink our options and delay taking action.
Steve Dalton believes there's a faster, more practical approach. Rather than trying to identify the "perfect" career from the comfort of your desk, he advocates a series of quick exercises we can all use to generate ideas. Once we have a hypothesis we can start to test (via networking) in the real world, making progress and gathering evidence at the same time.
In this webinar we will discuss Steve’s “fast prototyping” approach to career choice, in particular:
Five practical methods to generate new career ideas
Two exercises that you can complete at home in less than five minutes
How many career pathways to explore at any time
How to find (and learn from) people already in the career you are targeting
How to make confident career decisions without feeling you need all the answers first
Why not knowing what you “want to do with your life” is a great place to start
