Some people know what they want in their career, and have the opportunity to make it happen.
![Page 3: Own your career path presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042717/55cf99a6bb61eb990d8b481f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Many people are uncomfortable admitting that something needs to change.
This presentation is for them.

What holds people back from trying to make a change at work?
I asked friends, and here were some of the answers I received:

“There is a fear of being viewed as "needy" and that translating into being a less valuable member of the team, or not as hard of a worker. There is still a perception that asking for anything makes you a demanding employee who will get passed over for advancement in favour of a more "dedicated" worker.”
![Page 6: Own your career path presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042717/55cf99a6bb61eb990d8b481f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
“My biggest fear is rocking the boat and "being fired"... I really like working with clients and I’m scared I’ll get marked as a boat rocker if I bring up issues with my boss... I feel like I can put up with the shitty stuff because the idea of being an office outcast is of greater concern. I don't want my boss to think I’m a trouble maker in case it impacts my chances of getting a good reference in the future.”

“I could try, but it will be a lot of work”
Sometimes, it feels easier to not do anything

When I ask myself, “who are the happiest people on the planet?” my answer is, “Those who can’t wait to wake up in the morning to get back to what they were doing the day before.”
-James Cronin, Winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, 1980

A human being is never what he is but the self he seeks.-Octavio Paz

Tools from Positive Psychology like training your “PQ” (see www.PositiveIntelligence.com), and gratitude are tools that will help shift mindset challenges.
Humor and play are also valuable.

“My family need me to work. I have bills to pay. I can’t risk loosing my job over wanting something different”

“My boss will think less of me for wanting more time off. I’ll never be able to get a promotion.”

You know how you feel. Are you happy?

The cost of inaction is simple:
Keeping everything the same.

It's a cultural instinct to wait to get picked. To seek out the permission and authority that comes from a publisher or talk show host or even a blogger saying, "I pick you." Once you reject that impulse and realize that no one is going to select you--that Prince Charming has chosen another house--then you can actually get to work.If you're hoping that the HR people you sent your resume to are about to pick you, it's going to be a long wait. Once you understand that there are problems just waiting to be solved, once you realize that you have all the tools and all the permission you need, then opportunities to contribute abound.
No one is going to pick you. Pick yourself.-Seth Godin, from: http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2011/03/reject-the-tyranny-of-being-picked-pick-

You, being happy and engaged matters to your workplace, whether they know it, or not.

If you are actively disengaged at work you will (likely):
•Dread going to work•Have more negative interactions than positive with your team members•Treat your customers poorly•Tell your friends you work for a miserable company•Achieve less on a daily basis•Have fewer positive and creative moments•Have higher risk of health complications or mental health challenges

Change your role if you aren’t engaged!
It makes business sense, and it will improve your health and well-being.
(I’ve just given you the information to share with a doubting manager!)

Change doesn’t have to be big to have a meaningful impact on your experience at work.

Often, its about making your own opportunities, rather than waiting to be picked.

Step One: Get a clear view of your present reality

Write out an answer to the question:
What is work like for you right now?
![Page 45: Own your career path presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042717/55cf99a6bb61eb990d8b481f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Example (an extremely negative one anyway):
I’ve got way more work than one person can possibly accomplish. I am so stressed that it’s impacting my health. And I just lost a major account with a client.
![Page 46: Own your career path presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042717/55cf99a6bb61eb990d8b481f/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Look at what you’ve written – you have likely only focused on one perspective? Using only TRUE statements, offer an alternative description of that exact same situation.i.e. If you are working hard on a task, are you growing from facing challenges? Have you built new relationships while trying to solve a specific problem?
![Page 47: Own your career path presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042717/55cf99a6bb61eb990d8b481f/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
I’ve got way more work than one person can possibly accomplish.
I have been given a lot of authority and responsibility which will help my career.

I am so stressed that it’s impacting my health.
Through this struggle I have built strong friendships with my team as we work together.

I just lost a major account with a client.
That client was taking 90% of my time for only 20% of revenue – now I have time to better serve my other clients who are better relationships.

Adding vantage points will help you see new possibilities to pounce on, new client needs to fulfill, new business leads to explore, and new solutions to problems... And what’s more, looking at reality from different angles will not only allow you to open your eyes to a broader range of opportunities, ideas and solutions, but also help you connect more deeply with your team, organization and family.Source: Shawn Achor, Before Happiness, Pg 41

Give yourself some time (minimum 15 minutes uninterrupted), and write out answers to the questions on the following page.
![Page 55: Own your career path presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042717/55cf99a6bb61eb990d8b481f/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
1) Write down a list of all of the people that inspire you. Beside their names, write down all of the reasons why.
2) Describe a time in your life when you were fully alive and present – what were you doing? Who was around you?
3) What are all the topics and ideas that excite you, that you choose to learn more, and practice more simply because you are fascinated.
4) What is your greatest ambition? What is your greatest fear?
5) What makes you angry? (look for values that are being suppressed)

After you’ve written down your answers, look for repeat words, or words that make you “feel something”.

Make goals as concrete as possible. Choose goals that can be measured, and you can hold yourself accountable to.
![Page 65: Own your career path presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042717/55cf99a6bb61eb990d8b481f/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
For any goal that doesn’t have a direct action (like “get a promotion), what “habits” do you want to cultivate to support achieving that goal?
![Page 66: Own your career path presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042717/55cf99a6bb61eb990d8b481f/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Examples:If you want to write a book – write 1000 words a day.If you want to learn a language, practice 15 minutes every day.If you need new skills for a promotion, devote one hour every week to practicing them outside of work.

Create Accountability–Tell your friends/partner/spouse–Get your manager on side to
support you–For every concrete action – put it

Then, the best way forward is:
DO THE WORK
![Page 69: Own your career path presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042717/55cf99a6bb61eb990d8b481f/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)

Set regular intervals (for example, every three months) to evaluate goals, actions and the present reality – Are things shifting, changing? Do your targets need an update? Are things moving forward? Do you feel stuck and need to reset?
