Why I'm Setting Process-Based Goals & How to Navigate "Lost" Seasons of Your Career
01/03/23 • 16 min
Today’s solo episode seems very timely for a new year when there is a lot of pressure on us to set goals. I love goal-setting but in the past I have struggled with doing some when I’m in a season of my career where I feel unsure about what I want. One thing that really helped me turn my uncertainty into a strength is learning how to set process-based goals vs. outcome-based goals. I’ll explain what I mean by that and a step-by-step process you can use to gain career clarity this year.
