Developing Strategies for Personal and Professional Growth

Developing strategies is not just for organizations, it can be used by individuals, as well. Just as organizations need to develop strategic plans to achieve their organization goals and to maintain profitability, individuals can do the same for their career goals. Many individuals are at a “crossroads” in their personal and professional lives. They are unable to determine the best course of action for making improvements in their professional lives even after obtaining a college degree. For some of these individuals, it is a period of stagnation and for others the opportunity for a new beginning. These individuals can use assistance in evaluating career alternatives, developing strategies to get the career they desire, and knowledge on developing, maintaining, and sustaining healthy relationships both personally and professionally.

While individuals are focusing on their education and careers, many are neglecting their personal lives, which can have a significant impact on their professional career growth. It is imperative for individuals to be able to balance career and family to achieve their professional and personal goals. This balance can be achieved by developing, implementing, and evaluating life strategies that promote individual continuous improvement, a concept that has been relegated to organizations in the past, but when used appropriately by individuals can have a significant impact on their decision-making abilities.
