GROW Your Career

Now that you’ve walked through the Peak Experiences activity and done
some introspection about your career values and what engages you, use the
GROW model to set realistic career goals and action steps to help you
achieve those goals.

The GROW model stands for:

G
What are your
OAL career goals?

R
What is your current reality in
EALITY relation to your goals?

O
What are your career options
PTIONS based on your goals and reality?

W
What are speci󹀼c actions you can
ILL commit to to move forward?

In thinking about these things, 


it’s helpful to keep these questions in mind:

WHAT types of roles are you most interested in for the future?

WHO could you talk to in your organization to learn more?

WHY are you most interested in a promotion?

HOW do you see yourself moving towards your career goals?

WHEN will you take on these actions to meet your career goals?
