2. When you applied to your job, were you thinking
about your career or just about getting a job to
earn some money?

3. Be honest…

4. When did you last properly think
about your career?

5. Were you about to go for your interview?

6. … or apply for a new job?

7. … or did you have a previous job
that finished unexpectedly?
… dismissal?
… or just hacked off?

8. When did you think about your career
the time before that?

9. Let’s call these times ‘Career moments of truth’

10. How do you feel in these moments of truth?

11. Do you feel in control or does it feel like
something’s being done to you?

12. In many organisations management discuss and
judge talent potential and place people in nine
box grids that then determine the level of time
and investment they put into people

13. Which box would you like to be in?
How would you influence the outcomes of these
discussions?
How will the organisation really understand your
career ambitions?

14. When you last faced a career moment of truth,
did you look back on the previous one?

15. Are these moments just career ‘events’ or a part
of a longer-term plan?

20. Who do you like working with and why?

21. Three sources of motivation
Autonomy
The desire to direct
our own lives.
It assumes that people
are active, looking for
interesting work and
curious and self-
engaging
Mastery
The desire to get
better at something
that matters by
practising, learning and
improving.
Purpose
The yearning to do
what we do in the
service of something
larger than ourselves.
Provides a context for
autonomy and mastery
