Refer to your files, to find your wheel of life.With a colleague step outside for a one on one discussion and review.

Answer the following:

• What aspects of my wheel have I been working on?• How have they helped me in my career thus far?• Which have I neglected?• Did I find a mentor or coach for each facet of my wheel?• What do I need to expand further in my wheel? Which aspects?• What actions MUST I take? How will I measure myself?

You have 45 minutes to reflect upon and prepare a 3 minute presentationto your syndicate members, of your enhanced wheel:• illustrate what it was, • where you are now• and where you believe you need to be. • What actions you will take… make the commitment to your colleagues

Behaviours that foster high performance in individuals:

15

• Co-founder of LinkedIN,more than 100 million members.

• Made over $ 1.7 Billion (age 33)

• Angel investor in 100 businesses

• Enemy of complacency… urgent action!

• Don’t take your success for granted… it is very fragile.

• Don’t become the Detroit Michigan of the US. A symbol of despair.

• Detroits are everywhere. Don’t become one…

The new world of work

16

“To adapt to the challenges of professional life today, we need to rediscover our entrepreneurial instincts and use them to forge new sorts of careers. Today, you need to think of yourself as an entrepreneur at the helm of at least one living, growing start-up, your career.”

The escalator model… In the past, it was simple, you started at an IBM< Goldman Sachs or GE and moved up, got traned and groomed and moved up further… strong tailwinds… made space for others when you climbed off.

Nowadays, its jam packed at the bottom with even the old folk re-entering the market at the bottom. Its hard for anyone over sixty to get off.

Today, its hard for the young to even get on the escalator! And companies today, don’t really want to invest in you… they expect you to start with the skillsets.

Professional loyalty now flows to and from your network, horizontally, short term, performance based; no longer upward.

Networking has been replaced by intelligent network building.

So, why the start-up of you?

The amount of time you spend on any one job is shrinking. The world is changing, and fast!

Some demographic insights… Baby boomers being replaced… consumer spending is shrinking daily. Markets propped up by central banks… the bubble will burst… are you placed to cope with this change? Are YOU adapting?

Entrepreneurs build industry-wide relationships; they agressively seek break-out opportunities; they tap their network for business intelligence… today, YOU need to do the same.

Operating models change rapidly; Blockbuster versus Netflix (30% of global online traffic in the week). $160 million profit in 2010… Blockbusters filed for bankrupcy!

Your mindset – Permanent beta:

19

• Finished is an F-Word… great companies are always evolving. Amazon: “Bezos – Its still Day 1”

• We are all works-in-progress; each day is an opportunity to learn more, do more, be more, grow more in our lives and careers.

• Stay in beta mode… realise you have “bugs” continuously develop yourself.

• Table chat: “ A company hires me over other professionals because…” What are you offering that is both rare and valuable?

Develop your Skillset

20

1. Develop your competitive advantage – assets, aspirations, market realities2. Use ABZ planning3. Build real lasting relationships – professional network4. Tap network intelligence

Your assets, aspirations and market realities:

21

• Developing your competitive advantage

• What are you offering that is rare and valuable?

• Competitive advantage underpins all career strategy• Your assets – what do you have right now? What

are your strengths, interests and network?• Soft assets are the things you know; hard assets,

thecash and things you have to enable you to take on more risk. What matters are skills, connections and experiences.

• Your aspirations – deepest wishes, ideas, goals and vision of the future. It includes your core values of what’s important to you in life; knowledge, money, autonomy, integrity, power…

• Google is clear on purpose…” To organise the world’s information… top engineers are drawn to Google.

Market realities

Smart entrepreneurs know a product wont make money if customersdon’t want it.Your skills must meet the needs of the paying market. The market is abstract… simply people who make decisions that affect you.

David Neeleman: JetBlue airways… focus on the needs of your customers and stakeholders…its that simple.

Put yourself in a osition to ride the waves of the market conditions.

Table discussion: How can you combine these three ingredients (assets, aspirations, market conditions) to position yourself for career success?

Update your LinkedIn profile: “Beacause of my skillset, I can do…”

To do:

• Go on LinkedIn or Twitter search for your company (and others) and follow and track them.

• Write down some of your key assets: “I excel at public speaking on engineering matters”

• Identify people with similar aspirations… benchmark yourself; subscribe to their tweets and blogs.

• How have you spent your last six saturdays… how do you spend your free time when there’s nothing urgent to do? Your true aspirations?

• How are you adding value at work currently? What would not get done if you aren’t there?

• Whats your soft asset investment plan… areas for growth.

Plan to adapt…

Planning a career for the next 10 years is okay in an unchanging environment.. You are in a chaotic ocean… career planning works in relative stability conditions…

You need to be flexibly persistent…flexible to adapt. Adaptive start-ups win!

Flickr… was “Game Neverending” – photosharing was an add-on to attract folk to the game just like messaging. Now 5 billion photos on Flickr.

Actions: Make plans based on your competitive advantage. Prioritise learning. Sart-ups focus on learning above profitability. Learn by doing.Make reversible small bets. Pilot on the side… end of day trader etc.Establish an identity separate from your employer.

It takes a Network!• You will fall short if you do things alone…if you go solo you will lose out

to a team. Athletes need coaches and trainers. Steve Jobs needed Steve Wozniak.

• The team you build is the company you build. Mark Zuckerberg spends half his time recruiting!

• If you want to accelerate your career, you need the help and support of others.

• “The fastest way to change yourself is to hang out with people who are already the way you want to be”

• LinkeIn is for professional networks… no one cares who you are dating on LinkedIn.

• Where are you spending your online time? LinkedIn or Facebook?• Build genuine relationships – old school networkers are transactional.

They only network when they need something. True relationship building is like dating. Have a long term perspective.

• Empathise and help first. Discover what people want.• Fun factor – building relationships should be fun, not flossing!• Table discussion: How do we help each other build out our networks?

What’s the right number? Weak ties are not great. 150 is the most we can manage .. Surving tribes were 150.. Ref Dunbar.

How to strengthen and maintain your network

• Relationships are living, breathing things, neglect them and they die.

• Do something for another person. Help him or her.• Small gifts: relevant information, articles, introductions and

advice.• Let yourself be helped…• Be a bridge… introduce others…straddle divides.• Remain in touch and top of mind… no emails once in three

years “ hey remember me, Im looking for a job…• One lunch is worth a dozen emails• Social media – staying in touch passively

• Actions :Imagine you got retrenched today… who are the 10 people you’d contact for advice…are you happy with your connection to them today? Reach out now…
