1 Assess your goals

The first step is to take a honest look at your goals and ask yourself some critical questions. Are your goals realistic, specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound? Are they aligned with your values, strengths, passions, and purpose? Are they flexible enough to adapt to changing circumstances and opportunities? If your goals do not meet these criteria, you may need to revise them or set new ones that are more suitable for your current situation and future potential.

Also consider whether they are goals, or tasks. Are they outcomes or part of a process. We can sometimes set goals that we believe are on the path to success yet later find that they are not aligned. This can be a simple reason why they are difficult to achieve.

If you career goals seem out of reach its a good indication that there is a step or few that can be attained before that. Sometimes its expanding your network, or even taking further training or coaching to have deeper clarity on your own goals, skills and abilities.

2 Identify your gaps

The next step is to identify the gaps between where you are now and where you want to be in your career. What skills, knowledge, experience, or connections do you need to acquire or improve to reach your goals? What resources, support, or guidance do you need to access or seek? What barriers, challenges, or risks do you need to overcome or mitigate? By mapping out your gaps, you can create a clear action plan to close them and move forward with your career development.

Often when a client expresses concern that their career goals seem out of reach, further conversation identifies that they are overvaluing a long-term 'what could be' to the detriment of the steps needed to move them forward. You may be energized by getting to the top of the mountain, but you still need to stay on the path, ford streams, and climb over obstacles. Honestly assess your knowledge, skills, and experiences (KSEs) now relative to those career goals. Where are the gaps? What KSEs do you lack? Form a plan for gaining those, e.g., you might offer to work on a project that gives you additional insight into an area that will benefit future interests. Think creatively and you will likely find more than one way to enhance your KSEs.

In my experience, there are often fears and limiting beliefs if coachees/employees or even accomplished leaders, which is the primary reason why there long term goal appears distant . A very realistic assessment of goals and values needs to be done at this stage and then a progressive plan of action could be a way forward for the Coachee .Self Accountability of the Coachee is key so as the ensure that from time to time, action is being taken for the larger goals

3 Seek feedback

Another important step is to seek feedback from others who can help you evaluate your progress, strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities. This could include your manager, mentor, coach, peers, colleagues, clients, or network. Feedback can help you gain new insights, perspectives, and ideas on how to achieve your goals. It can also help you identify and correct any blind spots, mistakes, or misconceptions that may be holding you back or limiting your potential.

4 Celebrate your wins

A crucial step that is often overlooked is to celebrate your wins, no matter how big or small they are. Celebrating your wins can help you boost your confidence, motivation, and resilience. It can also help you acknowledge and appreciate your efforts, achievements, and learnings along the way. Celebrating your wins can take various forms, such as rewarding yourself, sharing your success with others, expressing gratitude, or reflecting on your growth.

5 Seek help

The final step is to seek help when you need it. Sometimes, you may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or discouraged by your career goals and need some external support or guidance to overcome the challenges and move forward. This is where executive coaching can be a valuable resource for you. Executive coaching can help you clarify your goals, identify your gaps, seek feedback, celebrate your wins, and seek help. It can also help you develop the skills, mindset, and habits that are essential for achieving your career aspirations.

Just ask for it. I have often found my clients feel they are not getting what they deserve in their career. They feel that their boss should be able to see what they deserve. "My work speaks for itself" they say. They do not speak to the boss about what they feel they deserve. Someone else gets it. Probably, because they asked for it. When you ask for something you show that you are willing to take up that responsibility. When you don't, you assume that your capability is known and they may assume that you are not interested. There was a case where the senior is expecting my client to take that responsibility and the client was still thinking why it has not come to them. Clearly a lack of communication! So, " Ask and you shall receive."
