Becoming more analytical and proactive about our work and career

life and career but ourselves. Our managers, colleagues
and families may not have a clear understanding of what
really motivates us and is important to us. We all need to have
an understanding of what really drives us so that we can make
choices that are consistent with those motivators and increase our
chances of finding work that is satisfying and fulfilling for us.
Working in alignment with our key motivators significantly impacts
our satisfaction and ability to fully utilize our talents and

and potential lie.

interests and stimulates us at work.
- Values: the kinds of companies, products, work environments,

what kind of work best meets our own unique style and
attributes.
