“How do I decide what career I want?”
A big and important question, is it not?
Clarity is one of the 6 C’s you need when deciding what career you want.
It is especially important to successfully create, market, manage and evolve a portfolio career, because a portfolio career has multiple components, and therefore more options and decisions to make.

- Clarity
- Community
- Conviction
- Competence

This blog post shares some useful resources – articles and podcasts, about how to create career clarity.
Why is career clarity so important?
As career coaches, helping our clients to get really clear about who they are, what they want and how to get it, is an important part of our job.
Investing time in creating clarity saves you a lot of wasted time, money and stress going down the wrong road.
In the digital age, there are millions of career options, resources to read, people to talk with.
A big decision like what career option to choose is a massive decision to make.
Especially in the uncertain times in which we live, with Covid-19 and Brexit.
How do we help our clients gain career clarity?
- Self-completion questionnaires
- Self-reflective questions
- Personality and psychometric tests
- Exercises – values, motivations, career drivers and many more
- Creating unique exercises for them
Every client is different and so we tailor our approach to each client.
Career clarity is especially important when creating a portfolio career.
It is also important to review your career strategy regularly, as you change e.g. at different life stages, and as markets change.
Rachel, Energise founder, takes regular away days and career retreats to think, reflect, plan and create. House sits provide a brilliant way to do this, explore new places, meet new people, and some gorgeous pets! Newness is one of Rachel’s values.
