Remember in Week 3, we discussed the concept of SOAR? While that concept is geared toward organizational strategy, it can apply to your own personal career development. We so often base our development plans based on our weaknesses. Yet, what if we focus on our Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, and Results?
Let’s start with Aspirations! Download the HR Self-Assessment and Career Development Form. Complete #1 What would you like to accomplish? Complete #2 What do you value most? Complete #3 and #4 What do you enjoy (and DON’T enjoy) doing? You will retain this development form so your information remains personal. You can choose what you share with your classmates and instructor.
Share some of your desired accomplishments with your classmates. Also, explain how your values support these future desires. If your values are in conflict with your aspirations, does that understanding impact your aspiration? If so, how?
