Chinue Uecker – Value of a Career Strategic Plan

Value of a Career Strategic Plan

A career strategic plan is essential in developing one’s skills, and in today’s competitive job market. From a personal point of view, the career strategic plan has helped me identify and document skills that I want to develop and refine. For instance, I am working on self-promotion, the ability to share strategic narratives to communicate my value or expertise as a Healthcare Consultant and Professor when negotiating a contract or presenting at a virtual conference. Now, from a professional point of view, the career strategic plan has helped me outline a vision of opportunities that I want to secure to reach my desired future state. For example, I am working towards gathering various experiences to hone my process improvement expertise and become a trusted advisor to Senior Leadership teams and adult learners as a Healthcare Consultant and Professor. With any plan, being flexible, monitoring progress towards goals, and celebrating achievements will help sustain your personal and professional improvements. I wish you the best as you develop and refine your own career strategic plan!
