This workbook helps individuals align their careers with their professional identities and aspirations. It defines "working identities" as the roles, skills, and values brought to professional life, and "possible selves" as future visions that guide choices.
The workbook includes four activities:
- Activity 1: Identifying Your Core Pillars encourages brainstorming 5-7 fundamental pillars (roles, skills, values) that define desired professional impact, with a description and explanation of importance for each.
- Activity 2: Reflecting on Your Current Reality prompts analysis of how well a current or recent job aligns with core pillars, and identification of tasks or projects that resonate.
- Activity 3: Job Crafting in Action provides strategies for incorporating desired identities into a current role, exploring options such as expanding the current role, seeking internal opportunities, or looking beyond the current role.
- Activity 4: Setting Goals and Taking the Next Step guides the user to set 2-3 SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals for the next 3-6 months, and plan specific action steps, identifying potential support.
The document emphasizes that individuals have the power to craft a fulfilling and impactful career by taking small steps and building momentum.
