Career Transition – A Few Things I’ve Learned #2

Put Your Hypotheses to the Test – In Increments

There is a term at the coaching program I followed*, “Forward the action, deepen the learning.”If you really want to figure out what’s next, try some things out.I don’t mean taking a course, though that can be a part of it.I mean actually do it.So many people dream of opening a B&B, painting, or becoming a life coach.Yet they do nothing to explore the possibility. They think that once they quit their job, their full-time focus will make it happen.Or, some say they have no idea what they want to do instead of their current job.Again, they don’t take time to expore their interests and impulses. Do you dream of becoming a chef?Cater an event or two for a charity you are involved with.See what you learn.Do you dream of being a ski instructor?Do it part-time for a season.Do you want to become an architect?Try designing your own renovation.Or, just volunteer for an industry group or do a part-time internship to see whether you like the job, or even the industry.
