I have done some of them during past restarts and self-reinventions.
“What I have” can include discoveries from self-reflection (mental and especially written):
- what have I loved doing the most?
- what energized me vs sapped my energy?
- what have I been especially successful at? (Activities - components of roles or jobs)
- what have I seen myself doing a lot of, when successful?
- what do I want to do less of? (Work types or role components)
- in what kinds of activities do I lose all track of time and emerge happy 4-5 hours later?
* if you have one or more of these, you are incredibly lucky to have found and cultivated a talent+strength! Find a way to do some of that every day!
- how much people contact do I want in a new role? Why? What kind? Selling, helping, coaching, collaborating and building, etc.
- what role transitions have I done before, and how well did they work out? What can I learn from my job succession and career progression?
- who can I ask to be a “mirror” of how I show up to others (in life and at work), my unique personality attributes and things they see as exceptional about me?
It also may be worth taking temperament and strengths tests, like MBTI, DISC, Clifton Strengths Finder or the follow-on TMBC Stand Out test (free)
Good luck and enjoy your self discovery and life journey!
And above all, stay curious, keep learning, and learn to use AI tools to multiply your productivity. I especially like ChatLLM dot abacus dot AI.
Had multiple LLM access and a new AI Agent builder.
