As a career coach, I work with my clients who are looking for a new role. Maybe they’ve been let go and made redundant, or they feel like they need a new direction and aren’t sure what to do.

Maybe you’re wanting to make improvements in your life. Go for that promotion at work. Get a new job. And get more balance and control into your life. Or perhaps you want to develop your communication skills, be better at public speaking and raise your visibility at work and being heard and seen more.

When we communicate well, say what we mean and connect with others, it can do wonders for our reputation at work and boost our career prospects.

But where do you start? How do you know what exactly needs developed? Try this fun and creative exercise.
