A GOOD DAYThink of a work day you really enjoyed..(2/3 minutes)
Why did it feel good?
Think about difference between good day itself and what you are good at?
How often do you have days like that?
Do you want them all to be like that or different?
..Now let’s think about your good day

SUMMARYYour job – do you like it, or have you outgrown it?
What is the right role now, and later
What competencies have you got, what is missing
Are you seeking feedback regularly
Do you need a buddy, a mentor, a coach?
Consider other factors for future: culture, commute, training, reward
Ask yourself about your family plans and how you will work
Are you networking enough, at all?
Are you reading and keeping in touch with the industry

FINAL THOUGHTSYou can influence your career direction
You can and should prepare - luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity
No one way forward - vertical and horizontal moves are common
Roles vary enormously - no generic professional qualification
A moving feast – client-side, consultancy and interim
This is on-going - define and re-define as you grow professionally
Be proactive, be brave – your career, your choice
