Your Career in 2023: Actions for Success

A bonus episode where Julia walks through setting career goals for the year and three actions every professional should take annually.

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.

1. Learn or Master One Skill
2. Meet with four people who can help you advance in your career
3. Apply to two jobs

I dive into why I chose these actions and provide context and details to plan and accomplish them.
