The turn of the year is often a natural reflection point to pause and do some self-evaluation or set intentions for the year ahead. To ask yourself, how did I develop last year? What made me feel purposeful? Where will I be at the end of 2022?
If you are at a pivotal moment in your professional career, it can be hard to know which path to take in order to move in the direction you want.
B-inspired founded by Mandy Bronsil, is a company that supports other companies’ individuals and teams uncover their true talents and passions and then creates a clear, career strategy for success. They also offer some services for individuals looking to do the same.
Here are a few ideas for you to consider to get started:
Join a network that makes sense for you.
Whether you are thinking of setting yourself up independently or finding a (new) job, networking is a crucial part of the process. In Switzerland, around 70-80% of job positions filled every year are not posted publicly. They are found “via-via”, meaning most of the people looking for work are only applying to at best, 30% of the jobs. The remaining 70% are filled relatively quickly, quietly and with much less competition.
The same principle applies to sourcing new clients. You will sooner find new clients through word of mouth and a good strong reputation, than through the rigmarole of cold calling and hard sales.
B-inspired has a non-exhaustive list of networks available for you to download. It will help find you a network that suits you, your objectives and purpose here.
