Your Career in 2023: Actions for Success
Podcast Audio Only:
This is a bonus episode where we will talk through your career goals in 2023 and set some actions for success. If you haven't thought about your career goals or don't have anything specific to focus on, that's okay! I'll share three actions every professional should do in their career annually.
Before we dive into the tangible career goals to consider, we'll discuss your energy level.
Realistically, are you ready to take some kind of action in your career this season?
Energy is an area overlooked by many when deciding to make a change in your career. If you don't have the capacity to take impactful action, this might not be the best time to make a move.
Is this a season where you need to focus on career management and your day-to-day work versus making a big change?
There is a big push to continue to advance in your career, move up, or move out, but that's not always the best situation.
Sometimes, it's best to focus on what you're doing right now. When life gets more complicated, having a steady career can be a source of peace and control.
Sometimes a job is just a job.
I put together a Career Goal Tracker outlining three (3) actions you can take to move your career forward.
I recommend doing these yearly to keep you informed and connected in your functional area and industry.
- Learn or Master One Skill
- Meet with four people who can help you advance in your career
- Apply to two jobs
I dive into why I chose these actions and provide context and details to plan and accomplish them.

A little bit about Julia:
I started this journey in a counseling-focused master of science program where my then passion was working with college students. I spent 8 years working in higher education in various roles within university career offices helping everyone from freshmen to doctoral students to mid-career alumni to encore career alumni figure out their path in their current season of life. I spent my time coaching and creating career programs and I'm using that experience to create a career management and advancement program that is everything you need to get where you want to go.
I found my niche and passion working with new and mid-career managers who have lost their way, are in toxic environments, or who are so high-achieving they don't know where they fit in the working world. I support and respect the need for people to have a 9-5 job and I help you find your place and path in your career journey.
I'm also certified and educationally eligible to administer and interpret multiple personality and interest assessments, which I use in my coaching program.
It's important to note that I didn't wake up one day and decide to do this work. I'm highly trained in coaching and counseling, have been part of multiple career-related professional associations and I LOVE this work.
I look forward to connecting with you and helping you find success in you career, whatever that looks like for you.
