How can lateral thinking help build a valuable Career Strategy?

Season 1, Ep. 53

Careers are not what they used to be. Very few can be mapped out in one straight line. We need to think differently and in this video, Simon Phillips TCM explores a simple technique that could be a game changer for you and your career. Do you have a Career Strategy? The job market ain't what it used to be and conventional thinking will not get us very far. If we are to develop a clear career plan and guarantee our professional growth, we need to apply some strategic thinking. A modern strategic plan will depend on unconventional thinking and the best route through to this is called Lateral Thinking. (For more on this also investigate Edward De Bono Lateral Thinking). SimonPhillipsTCM is a career guide and transformational coach and in this video he shares some career hacks to support your career development. Career coaching is all about intentional living and determining your own work life balance. Are you interested in having more than one job or is your question, "Can I have more than one career?" Before you start studying for the second time (or 3rd or 4th) spend a few minutes pondering the concept of "own nothing be happy". You may be surprised.
