After you've documented and reviewed your career values, it's the perfect time to align your goals. If you're not sure where to start, pick a goal that really excites you, or could be a stepping-stone to something that really excites you.

Some of your goals might be big, some might be smaller, but there are no rights or wrongs when it comes to what you decide on. It just needs to feel right. The only thing I ask is to push yourself out of your comfort zone. That can be hard at first, and it may take a few attempts. I shared a set of goals with one of my mentors once and his immediate response was, “That sounds great, Octavia, but I'd like you to dream bigger.” That one statement alone was transformative to me. So, I added another layer to my goals that were bigger than I'd ever contemplated. He was right. After all, if you'd told me I'd start my career in one country and build it in another, I'd never have believed it.

Here are some questions to help you get started:

1 Based on your career values, what do you want to experience in the next chapter of your career?

2 Where do you feel stuck?

3 What do you want to set in motion?

4 What skills do you want to develop?

5 What's a next step that's just out of reach?

6 What's a next step that would feel like a giant leap?
