The Dollars and Sense of Getting Career Help
Few people would deny the benefit of a good financial advisor to manage their monetary assets. Many of us would agree that our nest egg is best left in the hands of a qualified professional. At the very least we want to consult with one periodically to insure that we are on the right path.
People don’t always value their careers to the same degree. And yet your career is probably your biggest financial asset and can surely benefit from the insight of a professional to help you strategically manage and “grow” it. Getting on a career path that capitalizes on all of your assets can make you a valuable commodity in the workforce.
Unfortunately not many people have a good handle on what their strengths really are. The great business guru Peter F. Drucker noted (Managing Oneself, 1999 HBS Publishing), that history’s great achievers were just that because they managed themselves well, but that most of us really don’t know what we are good at even when we think we do. He insisted that “feedback analysis” is the only way that we can really discover our unique assets.
Now, we can certainly embark on this analytic journey solo, but most of us don’t have the patience, commitment or tools to delve that deep into our own psyche and pull those strengths out with confidence. That is where consulting a career professional can be invaluable and in the end become an investment that pays off in dollars and cents.
This blog will address and invite dialogue on issues that can mean the difference between enduring work that is tolerable and having a spectacular career that brings much satisfaction to one’s life.
And what I want for you is a spectacular career!
