How to Choose a (New) Career Fast

Many of us assume that choosing a new career requires deep soul-searching or a flash of inspiration. The result? We overthink our options and delay taking action.

Steve Dalton believes theres a faster, more practical approach. Rather than trying to identify the perfect career from the comfort of your desk, he advocates a series of quick exercises we can all use to generate ideas. Once we have a hypothesis we can start to test (via networking) in the real world, making progress and gathering evidence at the same time.

In this webinar we will discuss Steves fast prototyping approach to career choice, in particular:

  • Five practical methodsto generatenew career ideas
  • Two exercises that you can complete at home inless than five minutes
  • Howmany career pathwaysto explore at any time
  • How to find (and learn from) people already in thecareer you are targeting
  • How to makeconfident career decisionswithout feeling you need all the answers first
  • Whynot knowingwhat you want to do with your life is agreat place to start
