Planning One’s Career May Sound Stuffy....but you’re creating a plan even when you think you aren’t
I realize there’s some level of freedom and creativity to eschew planning.
But spontaneity doesn’t have to go out the window just because you have been thoughtful about where you want to take your career.
I know here are stories of those who have said, “I never planned to get to this awesome job. I just ended up here.”
But there was probably some underlying plan, they just decided to toss it when the right opportunity came.
So before you poo poo the idea of planning as being too constraining, just because you make a plan doesn’t mean you are bound to it.
In fact, you can even plan to be spontaneous!
But think of planning are gaining clarity and meaning:
- Who are you?
- Where are you going?
- Why?
