ABSTRACT
This short chapter looks at the importance of having a longer-term career plan in your mind and to always be thinking about where there might be opportunities to develop a skill, a contact, or a certain experience that will help to take you that step further down your career path and in the direction of your bigger work objectives. The chapter focuses on encouraging us to ask ourselves all-important questions about our five-year plan and the strategic moves we need to make to ensure we can get there – or at least be moving in the right direction. The chapter offers a wealth of tips and suggested activities to ensure you embed this forward-thinking and strategic mindset into your day-to-day working life.
