Book Excerpt
Champion Your Career
So how do you define a good experience? Ask yourself what you have done well, what have you enjoyed doing, and what were you proud of? These are the essential ingredients in a good experience. You did it well, you enjoyed it, and you were proud of it. Go back to your childhood and think of a good experience you had before the age of 10. It is surprising how our talents and strengths start appearing at an early age and they carry through with us the rest of our lives.For example, I remember being in a school play when I was about eight years old. It was Cinderella and I was the prince’s mother. Okay, here I was on stage and all dressed up and I had to get out in front of an audience. I still remember my lines. It was my first experience of being on stage. I said, “I love this, I love being in front of people.” Even though my life’s work was not to be in acting, I still love being in front of people.So you look at a good experience you had before the age of 10 and then you can take it further. You come back to the present and you think, “What’s a good experience I have had in the last three to five years?” It could be work-related but it doesn’t have to be. What you need to do is come up with at least five good experiences because from there you’re going to pull out what your strengths are. It’s just amazing how powerful this is.
