List Twenty People Whose Careers You Admire
THIS IS A LIST you will continue to add to and use consistently whether you are searching for a job or not. It is a practice akin to creating a course packet -- it will provide inspiration, direction, and unexpected opportunities.
This is not about listing celebrities. The less famous someone is, the better the fit for this list. This is about creating a list of people who are one, five, or ten steps ahead of you in pursuit of your dream career. You don't need to know them. You may only be drawn to a single aspect of their career. ...
These people will become potential allies, the people to track and watch out for at events. ...
Make it easy for yourself to capture names on the go -- whatever system you decide to use, if it's a notebook, a folder on your computer, or a simple spreadsheet, consider and think about the process of capturing the information, the more likely you are to do it.

I'm going to stop here and continue but the short story is that our lives are surrounded by compelling individuals who shape how we live and who we might become ... I'm grateful.
All the best as you begin your list.

1 年Fantastic list Gerald Doyle! To be honest I need to spend some time working on a list of 20 people whose career I admire. There are a number of people who I've worked with that have been inspirational to see their drive, ideas and goals. There are others I don't know but have followed on social media or in the news. I'll work on my list this week and I think I'll start with Martin Cooper who led the team to create the first cell phone. I have met him on a couple of occasions at Illinois Institute of Technology where he has spoken as an alumnus of the school and where I had worked. His story is fascinating and he continues to inspire. One down and 19 to go. ??
