Course 1 of 4 in the Specialization Career Brand Management

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in the current economy, Americans shift jobs every 4-5 years, which translates into 8-10 job transitions, including several career changes, over one’s life time. With competition for jobs on the rise, a person’s continuing employability and career success are increasingly defined by his or her mastery of individual career development and the ability to effectively "manage oneself" (P. Drucker). In this course, you will learn how to think strategically and professionally about your career self-management. Through this course you'll develop an objective, external view of your marketable skills as a solid foundation for building a strong career brand. In particular, you'll be able to: - explain why developing a protean and boundaryless career perspective based on transferable (portable) skills is advantageous for continuing employability and career growth; - design your portable skills portfolio, identify and examine critically important competencies underpinning your transferable skills, and analyze your career self-management competency gaps; - increase self-awareness, pinpoint your career goals, and envision your future work self; - recognize the central role of self-management for developing transferable, marketable, skills and create a customized self-management information system (Career Development Lab) for ongoing personal development and professional growth; - conduct a thorough, competency-based job analysis in your area of interest and examine practices of evidence-based, data-driven competitive employee selection; -implement your newly developed skills for crafting effective selection criteria statements and refining your job applications.

Now, we're going to take a journey into discovering our values.

Values are qualities and principles that we hold dear.

They're ideals that we strive for.

Values really drive everything in our lives.

They drive our thoughts, our actions,

our beliefs, they kind of give us a sense of how we see the world.

And how we see other people in the world.

Understanding our core values puts a special power in our hands.

The power to know ourselves.

The power to gauge situations carefully.

The power to think before acting.

And the power to choose wisely.

Clarifying and expressing your life in alignment with your core values is

a primary step in being happy and successful, especially in your career.

Like I said before, values drive our lives.

They're at the heart of who we are, how we act in relation to others, and

how we see the world, that's why knowing our values is so important.

Now, values come in all shapes and sizes, there are many, many of them,

in fact in our resource section that we're going to get to in a minute, you'll see

there's over 60 values that you can explore to see how they fit in your life.

Now, we're going to take you through a six step process, and

once again, at any time feel free to pause the video.

Here's step one.

Identify the times you were the happiest in your career.

Now, think back.

What were you doing?

Who were you working with?

Were you working alone or with others?

And what were you doing?

What contributed to your success and happiness?

Now, remember, pause at any time.

Now, we're going to Step 2.

Identify the times you were most proud.

So we just talked about when you were most happy.

Now, when were you most proud?

And these questions.

What did you accomplish?

Did other people share your pride, and who were they?

And what was it that had you had the source of pride,

what specifically were you doing?

And what factors, other factors contributed to this pride?

Step 3.

Identify the times you were fulfilled and satisfied.

What need or desire was fulfilled?

How did this experience give your life meaning?

And what other factors contributed to your fulfillment and satisfaction?

Step 4, here we go.

Determine your values based on what you've reflected on.

Your experiences of happiness, pride and fulfillment.

Why is each experience truly important and memorable?

And what are the common threads as you look back in what you just reflected on?

What ties them all together?

That'll give you a sense of what you really value.

Now in Step 5, determine your top values.

As I mentioned that list of 60, well, here's the time to use it.

Choose ten values from that list that resonate with

the experiences of happiness, fulfillment, satisfaction and pride.

So take that list of 60, circle, underline,

mark however you choose, highlight, choose ten and only ten.

That's important.

Now, this next step you might think you can skip but please don't.

You want to make sure that the values you have identified

really resonate with you in your life, your career and your vision for yourself.

So I want you to answer to these questions.

Think about, is this really who I am?

Would I be proud to share these values with people I respect and

admire and would these values dictate my actions.

Now, take that list of ten, and narrow it to five and

those are what we call your core values.

And I want you to reaffirm them by the questions that I just posed and

I'm going to say them again.

Do these values make you feel good about yourself?

Would you be proud to tell others that these are your values,

especially those you respect and admire?

And, do these values represent things that you would speak out about and

be willing to be in the minority?

Are they so important to you that they would cause you to act courageously?

Even in the face of opposition or unpopularity.

I know these may be tough questions to deal with, but

they're very important as our values become our guiding light.

Thank you very much for doing this work, I know I can get a little kind of carry

being so introspective, but I promise you, it'll pay off handsomely.

Thanks again for being here.
