Sustainable Career Choices

 My career guidance job is to ask the right questions in order that you can choose your own route. My career guidance job is not to tell you where to go. What is it that happens when, instead of accepting external guidance on your career, you yourself generate your own decisions regards your next professional steps…?

What happens is that you generate sustainable career guidance.

Why is it more sustainable when you generate it for yourself? It’s because only you have access to all the knowledge you already hold regarding your cultural background, your educational processes, your family of origin, your professional roles past and present This unique history of yours is essential on the process of informing your professional future

As George Santayana said

“Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Those who do not remember their past are condemned to repeat their mistakes. “

And this best practice in how we approach our careers too. If someone outside of ourselves imposes an external solution to your career conundrum, then they do so without cognisance of all this information you already hold.

A Career Guidance Job Well Done …

… involves seeking a professional who can engage in a collaborative process with you. Someone who can help you marry up
Your past experiences with current contextual knowledge. This way you have the best of both worlds.

This will generate a solution that is absolutely bespoke to your needs, experiences and desires AND that is fit for purpose in the current times. This way it can role out in an organic manner. It can grow as the need arises, and, you will know exactly how and why it needs to do so.

Career Sustainability = Knowing what you want to take from your past. Marrying that with how that will fit in the current circumstances. By adding the knowledge of what is driving you into the future you create purposeful professional development.
