Building strong relationships with your tribe will be a crucial support in your new role. It is imperative that you find your tribe and you do all that you can to connect with that tribe.īelonging is a basic human need, and it is probably one of the most important needs we have. In your new role, it is very important for you to find a community of like-minded people. (It won’t help writing one for your career vision, too.) 4) Connect to build relationships and belong Your vision has the power to be the architect of your reality! If you’re a freelancer or business owner, formalise your vision by writing vision and mission statements. And that vision must be clear, compelling, and inspiring to you in order for you to make it a reality. Your vision must help you see who you must BE, what you must DO, and what you will HAVE in your new role. Having a vision gives you purpose and meaning.
Leverage them and watch your brilliance shine. Gallup’s 40-year study of human strengths ( Tom Rath’s StrengthsFinder 2.0) says that “People who have the opportunity to focus on their strengths every day are six times as likely to be engaged in their jobs and more than three times as likely to report having an excellent quality of life in general”. The thing is, our brains’ neurochemistry often has us paying closer attention to the negative, and we therefore mistakenly think that in order to do well in our new roles, we need to focus on fixing our weaknesses and everything else that is wrong with us. I guess we believe that our strengths have come from an unseen source and will take care of themselves. It’s interesting that most of us seem to take our strengths for granted. And once you know what they are, tell everyone! Simply put, find out what’s unique about you, and use your unique strengths and talents to your advantage.ĭo a 360 Feedback, do Strengthsfinder, do a Lumina Spark Assessment, do MBTI… there are many tools that can help you focus on your strengths, talents, and skills.

You need consistency, clarity, and transparency over time. You must learn to make decisions that move you in a direction that is aligned with your answers to the above questions. You have to be clear on your values and the kind of environment you want to live, work, and play in. When you lead from within, you take the time to define a direction for your life and for yourself in the new role.
What do I want to contribute, change, and create in this new role?.What are some of the positive outcomes of being in this new role?.Who am I and who do I want to be in this role?.Ask yourself the following six questions: Leading from within is the ability to know yourself. You must learn to lead yourself from within. To grow and change as you adapt to a new role, it is essential to focus internally. If you’re transitioning to a new role, no matter whether you initiated the change yourself, or it was foisted upon you, there are many ways to approach this and lead yourself through, as smoothly as possible.
If we are to successfully make this change, we must lead that change in our own life. And that can have us feeling disoriented and frightened, like strangers in a strange land. It also asks that we cross over an “edge” to a new and unfamiliar side. Change requires us to give up many things that are familiar in life.
