Time: 4:02

What is “owning your career?

It means being in alignment with what is most important to you and the desired impact you wish to make on you and others in your life.

When are not owning your career, you take jobs and roles that are not in alignment with what is most important to you.
Oftentimes, you are doing what other people think you should be doing.

Many of us want to own our careers but don’t know how.
We never learned how to take an active role in our career development and figure out where we want to go. That makes finding the right career hard to do.

This is how I started.

Now I want to teach others how to take an active role and achieve their career goals.

Many of you might not be in your ideal career. Even if you have been in this situation for awhile, there are ideas, thoughts and steps you can take from this video series and apply to your life right now to help finding the right career!

The Being and the Doing

There are two important concepts in career development: the being and the doing.
You need them both to own your career!

  • The Being: inner work. Self-reflection, self-awareness. Focusing on who you are.
  • The Doing: internal actions you take as a result of your being work.

If you just do the “doing” work without understanding what that action is for, you’re going to be unhappy!
In the same way, if you just do the “being” work without taking action, you are just going to be spinning your wheels and not getting anywhere.

6 Career Management Gears

The Own Your Career career management process is broken up into 6 steps. They are all inter-related and depend on one another. We show that inter-connectivity with gears.

All of those gears need to be in motion for your central gear – your career management – to be moving.

In this video series, we’ll step through all of the gears so you can see the entire process. Right now, only one or two might apply to your life. At some point in your life, however, you’ll need each of those so that you can determine where you are out of alignment and get back on track.

Finding the right career

You may work for 40 years or more….

A huge number!

You may work for 40 years but you don’t know what the future will bring. A lot will change in the economy and your career landscape, even who you are as a person.

To truly own your career, you can’t leave finding the right career up to opportunities others think are right for you!

I want you to apply these messages now and in the future. You’ll continue to have moments in the future when you need to pause and reflect in order to understand where you want to go. This video series will help you then, just as much as it will today. I’ll teach you the steps you can take to find more fulfillment in your career and your life.
