You're feeling stuck in your current role. How can you take control of your career path?

Reflect on your current role, responsibilities, and overall satisfaction. Identify specific areas where you feel stuck or unfulfilled. Evaluate your skills, strengths, and weaknesses. Consider whether your current role allows you to utilize and develop your strengths effectively. Assess your career goals and aspirations. Determine if your current role aligns with your long-term objectives or if there are any gaps. Seek feedback from mentors, colleagues, or supervisors to gain insight into how others perceive your performance and potential for growth.

We can check everything what is suggested and that will be a great diagnosis, which definitely will help. What I would recommend is to firstly check on your values. The values are deep and strong force in your mind which give you everyday directions even if you are not aware of it. Is is important to know what truly drives you, so you can easily decide what to do next.

Ensuring that your values are in alignment with your current situation is vital. When you can achieve a state of "flow" you are much more inclined to have opportunities to fully assess your career pathing profile. Enlist the assistance of those you work with to gain a picture of performance leadership opportunities. Ensure you include personal and professional development.

Reflecting and assessing the current situation is a good idea and necessary to be able to find a solution. The important part is to not analyze it in too much detail. Over-analyzing and thinking about the current situation that is unpleasant or unsatisfactory is the cause for feeling stuck.

Uma coisa que penso ser fundamental, é a autorreflex?o, no sentido de pontuar, internamente, as coisas que n?o queremos, que n?o est?o de acordo com nossos valores pessoais. Muitas vezes focamos apenas no que queremos, mas ter clareza do contrário pode nos tirar da zona de conforto e da insatisfa??o até mais rapidamente, uma vez que temos a tendência de nos livrar do inconfortável e nos fortalece pra mudarmos de dire??o.

I always believe that in life everyone make choices. There is no right or wrong but you uphold with your own decision and make it with no regrets! I'm a firm believer of NOT accepting counter offers. If the company values your contribution enough, they would have a pipeline on your development and progression. Hence, advice is to start exploring and exhaust all internal options on progression and movement before deciding that you're going to lookout for any other external opportunities. If you have set you heart to lookout for external progression, stick to it and find the right fit that meets what you want for development up the corporate ladder!

Research potential career paths within your organization or industry that align with your interests, skills, and goals. Network with professionals in your field to gain insights into different career trajectories and opportunities. Attend industry events, conferences, or online forums to expand your network. Consider alternative career paths or industries that may offer new challenges and opportunities for growth. Explore relevant courses, certifications, or workshops to acquire new skills or knowledge that may enhance your marketability in different fields.

The usual path is to look around and look for options. Usually this can be misleading. The expected way is too look for answers outside of ourselves but we'll seldom find them. Instead, the best place to look for answers is inside of ourselves. How to do that? Here are 2 steps: 1. Knowing what you don't like/want. By reflecting your current situation you'll find things that you dislike or are not happy with. Write these things down. 2. Ask yourself: What do I really want? Make a "shopping list" of the things you do want in your role. Take 10 min & do this for 1-2 weeks every day. Usually we want things that are opposite to those we don't want. This can be a good starting point. This gives us the direction to go forward.

When we know what we don't like/want and we know what we REALLY like/want, we can make a plan. The key when making plans is to know exactly what we want, where we're going. We have to have a clear picture of the thing that we want to achieve.

In any positions you’re currently at, it’s very important to first self reflect, know the gaps and never forget to keep learning and growing! Knowledge is not something that comes overnight however it takes many cycles of mistakes to build a successful habit or idea that sticks and it will then allow you to progress. Never settle for anything less or allow yourself to be in your comfort zone. That is when you will feel stagnant and not growing further….

When we follow our desires we step outside of our comfort zone. It's a place where we don't have the experience, we don't know what works and what doesn't. The hardest thing to learn in this stage is to let go of the "how". We don't need to know "how" we get to our goal. We just need to know what our goal is and work towards it one step at a time. The path will reveal itself on the way to our goal. "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards." Steve Jobs
