What season of career are you experiencing now?
The seasons can happen at any time in your career - or in any role – they don’t relate to age.
The seasons relate to your engagement – the combination of factors that inspire you to be in your element and feel satisfied in your achievements.
What's important for you now?
What do you need from this season of career?
Great if you’re in a thriving stage and have (most of) what you seek.
But what can you do if you aren’t?
Shifting Seasons
Here I’m borrowing from marketing concepts: product extension and brand extension.
Extend your product.
To shift the season, you can:

Extend your brand.
Here you are bringing your existing equity and reputation to a new field.
You are shifting career.
You are still drawing on existing competencies, capabilities and traits – just in service of a different audience and to a different end.
You can always move seasons.

3 个月Thanks ?? for sharing Andea … I liked it a lot. I feel it’s a wonderful opportunity to “see our teams” … too much many winters .. will get cold… balance & diversity is vital. In the same manner … seasons on our planet ?? have a purpose… and normally an annual cycle ( … let’s all do our bit to keep our planet this way..!). Quarterly outlook “ like the seasons” on our team is vital to grow performance and grow talent. Age … agreed “ nothing to do with it “ .. but I would say this ??.. Looking forward to my next summer season on stage !! Thanks ?? Mike

3 个月Love thos idea about seasons thank you for sharing Andrea Stone I love spring and although automn is seen as lack of morivation it can also be the time where we shed the leaves that are not serving us by maybe unlearning sometimes. The essence is to acknowledge that our lives follows the cycle of seasons and its ok!

3 个月Love this idea of career seasons. It really shows how our careers are always changing. Whether we're growing, changing, or reflecting, it’s important to understand where we are. As someone in the middle of my career, I find myself in a mix of summer and autumn—doing well in some areas, but looking for new ways to stay motivated. It’s a good reminder that no season lasts forever, and there’s always room to grow and evolve.
