Completing the Career Confidence Challenge can help you to realise what work motivates and inspires you. Grab a notebook and pen, answer the questions below and see where it takes you…

Skills

What are you good at? Ask yourself the following questions. What do others say my talents are? What do I find myself doing just because I enjoy it? What am I complimented on?

Passion

What do you feel passionate about? Ask yourself some of the following questions for clues to uncovering your passions. What is important to me? What is something I can’t imagine living without? What holds my interest intensely?

Values

What do you value most? Ask yourself some of the following questions. What are my personal values? What do I believe strongly in? Which values improve my life?

Take note of themes and trends within each of the 3 categories. Have you learned anything from this exercise? Act on what you have learned to make changes in your current job or start to look for pastures new.

This change does not have to be instant and can be a spare time activity till you are ready to launch into a new business, career or promoted post.

If you are happy to share, I’d love to know what some of your answers were.
