Where have you been? Where are you now? Where do you want to be? You've worked hard to get...somewhere. This is often an important time to take inventory on your progress, to determine just how far down your intended path you've advanced, and what path you want to travel in the future. Understanding the successes and disappointments of your career arc and plotting your future aspirations and intentions are paramount to continued or enhanced success. By exploring deeper perspectives on your career and its connection to the other aspects of your life, you can make the appropriate changes, and move in a direction more befitting the present you.
Or maybe those changes have already been forced on you. Unexpected or even expected alterations to job structure, hierarchy, and viability can cause us to confront these questions before we're ready. Doing so with intention and understanding can turn crisis into opportunity.
