Who Am I? A Guide to Career Planning

By Deborah A. Osgood

Introduction
Many of us go through life not knowing what we want to be when we grow up. There are thousands of books and courses on the topic, as well as counselors, coaches, therapists and psychiatrists all more than willing to introduce us to their ideas for pursuing a happy, healthy and fulfilling life. The problem with many of these approaches, however, is that they address the question of who you are from the "outside in," when the answers are actually from the "inside out."

This online Career Development Program is all about introducing exercises, tools and techniques that will help you to address this very important question in a fun and creative way. It will provoke your imagination and build upon many of the insights you already possess about likes and dislikes in all areas of your life. There are no right or wrong answers. There is no required age for participating. There are no good or bad outcomes.

This is not something that you do in one sitting. Just as you evolve as a person over time, so can this delightful process of self discovery and personal progress. The more fun you have in participating, the more likely the outcomes will be ideally suited to who you are and also enjoyable.

On the other hand, the more afraid you are, or if you are just doing this because you think you have to, the less likely the outcomes will be ideally suited to who you are and what you truly want for yourself. You choose; fear or fun. Which perspective do you want to build your career foundation from?

With the right attitude, what you will end up with by participating in this Career Development Program is your very own Living Blueprint™. A Living Blueprint is a visual map about who you are and what you want out of your life. It will serve to guide many of the choices you make in the days, months and years ahead regarding issues relating to career, family, education and social life; about money, health and travel; and about who you are and who you choose to become. As your viewpoints evolve over time, so will your Living Blueprint.
