Think Your Career Strategy Isn't Working? Think Again! 19 May 2016
For the results you're creating. For the place in which you find yourself. You’re career strategy is working perfectly. And new results are going to require a new strategy. Find the counterbalance by learning to notice the pivotal moments.
Q. Where are you in your career?
Right where you want to be? Perhaps a little behind?
Perhaps where you want to be - but there's something
missing? Perhaps where you want to be - but nevertheless
wanting more?
Or perhaps you just haven't given it much thought.
And you might say: I don't have a strategy. You do. Or
you might say: I have a strategy, but it's isn't working. It
is. Because here's the thing: your career strategy is
working perfectly.
Your strategy is working perfectly
For the results you're creating. For the place in which you
find yourself. You’re career strategy is perfectly designed to
create your current reality.
Whether you're exactly where you want to be. Or
exactly where you don't want to be. Those results are
created by the career strategy you're employing. Whether
you like it or not. Whether you mean to or not.
And so different results are going to require a different
strategy. Because what got you here won't get you there.
Pressure: it's manageable - but at what cost?
Not many of us see that our results are of our own
making. Relentless pressure at work denies us that clarity
of distance. And whilst the pressure is, for the most part,
manageable, over time it comes at a cost.
We drop into autopilot and stop
performing at our best.
We start accepting once-
unacceptable compromises.
We neglect our personal and
professional development.
We lose sight of our longer-term
aspirations.
Ultimately, we can find ourselves in a career designed by
chance; and a life designed by default.

Providing the counterbalance
I created The Pivotal Moment Method™ to provide the
counterbalance to that pressure, frustration and
compromise of work that has us so often on autopilot and
prevents us seeing more of our pivotal moments.
But we can also provide that counterbalance for ourselves
by learning: to take a mental step back; to reconnect with
our long-term vision; to overcome obstacles and get into
action; and to embed the success habits that will serve us,
career-long.
A great first step is to ask: How am I doing my career?
How am I doing my pivotal moments?
For a moment, think back over some recent moments of
significance. And notice the sequence of events. Notice,
without judgement, the strategies at work. Be observant.
Be curious. And see what insights that inspires in your
thinking.
A career by chance? Or a career by choice?
To help you on the next leg of your career journey, I'm
going to ask you to make a decision, right now:
Do you want a career by choice or by chance?
Decide right now. And whatever decision you come to, I
respect that – but let's also acknowledge that "by choice"
or "by chance" is a decision you're making. Just as it's your
choice how much responsibility for your career you are
willing to give to others.
