Forget New Year’s Resolutions: How to Set Real Goals to Advance Your Career

Wednesday, December 8, 2010
As young professionals, feedback is one of the most valuable tools we have as our careers progress. We’re still new and rather inexperienced; but as we progress we are not only expected to be able to perform at more advanced levels, we also want to hold ourselves to a higher standard. As the year wraps up, there is no better time than now to reflect on your goals and performance on the job over the last twelve months.

Check out my latest Zora & Alice post to find out how to start.

I suppose its a good thing that in my field all this is required! In becoming a psychotherapist when you get your associate license you are under supervision for three years before you don't need it anymore. This is after two years of supervision while in internship and practicum at your Masters program. That's a LOT of professional supervision, and its outlined in exactly the way that you mention: goal setting, assessment (mid year and end of year) and feedback. I never thought about how other professions would benefit from the same structure, but they absolutely could! I love supervision and I think you get so much from it, and as you advance it becomes less "hands on" and more a place for you to reflect on your professional decisions and actions. Great Post!

Thanks Jess! Yes, that is a whole lot of supervision. I agree, I don't think I could ever use enough feedback. And the process is always transferable from one field to the next!

Love it. As usual, both practical and a pleasure to read.
