Your Dharma: 10 Seconds WHO CONTROL How Plan
Start with your 10 second statement Clear, focused, and behavioral Skills, issues, people, environment
Research Find people who are most like your statement… don’t
worry about titles! People want to help
Ask everyone you meet
I am at an exciting point… I can do whatever I want with my life. While I know a lot about myself, I don’t know all the things people like me do and get paid!
I think you know more than I do about this field and I need your help.
May I meet with you for 1o minutes?
I will tell you one short story (10 second statement);
ask you one question;
and then leave you alone!
TELL: Perfect for me is using my (skills) to work with theses (issues) with these (people) in this (environment).
ASK: Does this sound like you?
▪ YES: Tell me more about what you do! ▪ Or…
▪ NO: Do you know someone who has a life like I described
AND can you introduce me to that person?!
What is the difference between me today and me doing what you do professionally? Leads to tactics
If you were me, Where should I start? What should I do? Who should I talk to about
the path?
What is the difference between me today and me working professionally?
Where are the gaps? ▪ Education ▪ Experience ▪ Certification ▪ Other?
What are the solutions?
▪ Are they acceptable? ▪ Are they feasible?
Ask more than one person What do most people say?
Look at the data you gather Do you believe them?
Make a plan What must I do NEXT? LinkedIn, Resume, Cover Letter, Application, Portfolio, etc
to prepare for communicating with other people
Implement your plan
Put your search into context
Focus on the inside: Who am I?
Move inside-out: Where do I fit?
Listen to experts: How do it get there?
You have to do this by yourself; but you don’t have to do it alone! Ask for help.
