Self-Assessment Questions
Eleven questions to sit with before you start a search. Where you are, what you want more of, and whether the current trajectory is a choice.
Take a few minutes to think about your current frame of mind. Answering these questions will encourage you to evaluate some of your current perspectives and inspire you to try some new ones. You may find some are more in line with who you are today or who you would like to become. The goal is for you to live into your greatest potential.
- 1Are you living a life of purpose? If not, why not?
- 2What are you most excited about now, and how can you experience more of that?
- 3When you hear the phrase “life giving” as it relates to work, what comes to mind?
- 4What have your “failures” or mistakes in your career taught you?
- 5When a customer or colleague sees your name on caller ID, what thoughts and feelings do you want them to have? What are you doing to create those?
- 6Do you choose happiness or leave it to chance? If it's a choice, how does that play out day to day?
- 7Are there people you need to forgive? What is holding you back?
- 8If you stay on the current career trajectory, where will you end up? Are you OK with that?
- 9What topics or things do you speak about with passion?
- 10Are you where you are right now because of choice, or fear of the unknown?
- 11Do you celebrate the victories of the people around you, on your team and in your company?
