Importance of Career Development
Q3. Why is career development so important? @WriteOnOnline @TheDEBMethod #GoalChat pic.twitter.com/w5igN0RiBT
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) June 11, 2018
A3. Continuing education is essential to stay on top of your field. We want to get better, so we can be a better resource for others #GoalChat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) June 11, 2018
A3: Career development is important because you are either moving forward in purpose or falling behind. #GoalChat https://t.co/tErFqDv7xk
— Kathryn Lang (@Kathrynclang) June 11, 2018
A3) A sustained leader is a constant learner – always preparing for the next opportunity to lead and lead well. That is really all there is to career development, IMO. #GoalChat
— Tom Reid (@_TomGReid) June 11, 2018
A3. For me, it gives me a value that I enjoy it so much to share it with others. I enjoy doing a variety of career development exercises for individuals. It is what makes me as well as my profession unique from person to person. #GoalChat
— Danny Kambel (@DannyKambel) June 11, 2018
A3. Career Development is essential for you to clearly outline what your talents are and forming a plan for you use them for Biz! #goalchat

Good point, here in #FairfaxCountyVA there is a great library system that I use. I listen to webinars when I can, but have missed the live feed on some good ones due to them occurring during the workday. Great suggestions though…#GoalChat
— Kevin Wilson (@KWilson805) June 11, 2018
A3: career development is more important today than ever before. You can quickly get lost in the herd, or find yourself wandering aimlessly. To stay relevant in the workplace you have to be your own advocate and you have to identify and define your worth.#goalchat

Advice for Those Looking to Make a Career Change
Q5. What advice do you have for those looking to make a career change? @WriteOnOnline @TheDEBMethod #GoalChat pic.twitter.com/vXfrYRr1gQ
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) June 11, 2018
A5. Learn as much as you can. Do informational interviews. Read. Network. Reach out! #goalchat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) June 11, 2018
A5) Be careful of perceiving greener grass. It isn’t always. Educate yourself about the new position/company/career. Be very clear on your personal goals and make sure any change is consistent with those goals and your values. #GoalChat
— Tom Reid (@_TomGReid) June 11, 2018
A5) a successful #careerchange requires a LOT of self-reflection, patience, and dedication. You can’t think your way out of it. You have to act.
I’ve been on a career change journey for 9 months now. #GoalChat
— Raylan Givens (@CERVEZAmasFINA) June 11, 2018
A5: Take time to find your heartseed – that inner drive and why – and then look for a shift that aligns with that. #GoalChat https://t.co/mAAq1UCIMH
— Kathryn Lang (@Kathrynclang) June 11, 2018
A5. Make sure you have 4 things 1) An Advisor 2) Capital 3) Timeline 4) Goals #goalchat
— Sherry Hayes-Peirce (@trainerchick47) June 11, 2018
A5. I’ll be quiet on this one, I’m all 👂’s. I’m 👀ing forward to the helpful responses from the awesome #GoalChat group.
— Kevin Wilson (@KWilson805) June 11, 2018
A5. #GetSET (Strategic – have goals; Engage – learn, listen, lead and follow; Teamwork – collaborate, accountable and responsible). This is one of my passions 🔥. #GoalChat
— Danny Kambel (@DannyKambel) June 11, 2018
A5: Invest a little time and resources into setting out a personal (business) plan. Or get a White Board of World Domination 😀 Which ever works best for you – but do have a SMART plan in place #GoalChat
— Kathryn Lang (@Kathrynclang) June 11, 2018
Your WBOWD is legendary. #GoalChat
— Tom Reid (@_TomGReid) June 11, 2018
Totally agree @Kathrynclang Tho I do @TheDEBMethod https://t.co/geQxnnX7np #goalchat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) June 11, 2018
A5: a career change is scary. But I believe if you don’t make a move, life often makes one on you. It’s better to strategize + calculate when u have some control then to be forced into a situation. Also, you got this!! #goalchat
— April (@aprilemaye) June 11, 2018
A5) I would say “go for it!” Richard N Bolles says that we all have six careers in our lifetime and thus far I am only on my third! #GoalChat
