Today's career competency is: I know what motivates me in the workplace. Score yourself from 1-5, 1: strongly agree and 5: strongly disagree.
This has to do with a few things: your work values and your motivated skills. Does your current workplace fit your work values, such as opportunity to use your intellect, your creativity; does it provide you with independence or are you able to work in teams? If not, maybe this is de-motivating you. Everyone has different needs that they want to be met where they work! In addition, we all have lots and lots of skills - some of which we LOVE to use, and others we either are neutral about, or just hate to use. Then there are other skills we'd love to improve upon. What skills do you have that you really need to utilize daily? These are motivated skills - be intentionally aware of these and they will help you understand why you look forward to go to work everyday. For those of you who are using skills that you only moderately like or even have that "Ugh" feeling when you use them, I say it's time to take a look at the very tasks/skills you like the most and think about either trying to leverage them in your current position, or start looking for positions that allow you to utilize those skills that you really love.
Next competency we'll explore: I can identify my strongest abilities and skills.
Stay tuned and believe in yourself,
Karen
