3 tools for career planning
I often get asked what career planning tools I recommend. The answer is: There is not just one tool, as we are all different people and in different stages of our career. I am sharing the 3 tools that I am using for planning my career steps. Based on my personality I start every year with a vision board. From this vision board I derive 90 day targets. During the year I plan my action steps in a tool called ASANA. Here I can break down my annual goals into quarterly and monthly plans and even more granular levels. The last tool is simple and powerful – it is a focused journaling exercise. I am writing my “BOOK OF SUCCESS”.
