O que você faz se o crescimento da sua carreira atingiu um platô?

Se a carreira estagnou a melhor opção e considerar buscar novas oportunidades de aprendizado, desenvolvimento de habilidades ou buscar novos desafios dentro ou fora da sua organização atual. Isso pode envolver procurar mentoria, buscar projetos diferentes, explorar opções de desenvolvimento profissional, ou até mesmo considerar mudanças de emprego se necessário para continuar avançando.

Here's how to break through that plateau: 1. Self-assessment: Evaluate your skills, strengths, & weaknesses. 2. Set clear goals: Define what success looks like & create a roadmap to achieve it. 3. Continuous learning: Stay updated with industry trends & acquire new skills. 4. Seek mentorship: Learn from experienced professionals who can offer guidance. 5. Network: Expand your connections within & outside your industry for opportunities. 6. Embrace challenges: Take on new projects or roles to push yourself out of your comfort zone. 7. Stay adaptable: Be open to change & willing to pivot when necessary. 8. Stay positive: Believe in yourself & your ability to overcome obstacles.

Some ways to get started are: - Conduct a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) to gain a comprehensive understanding of your current position and potential areas for growth. - Seek feedback not only from colleagues and mentors but also from peers in different industries or roles to gain diverse perspectives on your career trajectory. - Consider using career assessment tools or working with a career coach to identify your values, interests, skills, and career preferences more objectively.

- Identify specific areas where you feel your skills or knowledge are lacking and actively seek opportunities to address these gaps through training, certification, or hands-on experience. - Volunteer for high-profile projects or initiatives that align with your career goals and stretch your capabilities, demonstrating your willingness to take on new challenges and responsibilities. - Explore opportunities for job rotations or temporary assignments in different departments or locations to broaden your skill set. - Pursue stretch assignments or leadership opportunities within your current organization to expand your capabilities and visibility.

Seek Out Mentors Who Value Strengths-Based Development: Look for mentors who talk about strengths in their own work and the work of others. They should be familiar with strengths-based development philosophies. Target mentors who have experience coaching or managing using strengths identification methods.

- Seek out a mentor or coach who has experience navigating career plateaus or achieving significant career growth, preferably in your industry or field of interest. - Be proactive in reaching out to potential mentors, expressing your admiration for their work and explaining why you believe they would be a valuable mentor to you. - Set clear goals and expectations for the mentoring relationship, outlining specific topics or areas where you would like guidance, feedback, or support. - Regularly schedule mentorship meetings or check-ins to discuss your progress, challenges, and strategies for overcoming obstacles to career advancement.

One thing I've found helpful is to reconnect with what initially sparked your interest and excitement in your field. By rediscovering your passion, you can reignite your drive and motivation to overcome obstacles and pursue new opportunities for growth and fulfilment. I suggest a reflection on past moments of excitement in your career. Identify common themes and activities that ignited your passion. Create a visual representation of your ideal career. Set goals to incorporate passion-driven activities into your daily work. Remember, it's also okay to evolve and change your passions over time.

Additionally: Expand your professional network: - Engage with industry peers, thought leaders, and influencers through networking events, conferences, and online communities to expand your professional network. - Leverage social media platforms like LinkedIn to connect with professionals in your field, share insights, and participate in relevant discussions. - Seek out networking opportunities within your current organisation, such as employee resource groups, mentorship programs, or professional development events, to build relationships and explore potential career paths.
