StopAskingMe

If you’ve ever been at the receiving end of this question, there’s a good chance you responded in one of two ways. You either said something along the lines of “Well, I’m thinking about…” whatever the ‘about’ of the month is for you. Or – and this is the most common response – “I know exactly what I want to be”, even as your mind scrambled for one thing, just one thing that you could tell them you want to be when you grow up.

Wouldn’t it be nice if, instead, someone said

“Want to me to show you how to figure it out?”

Here’s a quick explanation. You start by changing the question to “What do I want to do next?” That’s the most you can ever figure out because things change all the time. To find the answer to that question, you DO have to know how to look ahead and have a good sense of where you are going – which is always to work that is a good fit for you. This means you have to be able to recognize what that looks like, which is the trickiest part of career decision-making. Once you know that, you map backwards to figure out what you want to do next.

So, “What do YOU want to do next?” Kathy Harris can help you figure it out. It’s what she does every day. In about six hours, you will have a plan and you will be ready for any decisions you need to make in your future too. Not much time when you consider how long most people struggle to find their answer to the question “What do I want to be when I grow up?”
