What do you know about yourself? Maybe you have an idea of some of your skills and values. Maybe you need to do a little more information gathering. But why does self-knowledge matter anyway? How is it helpful?
💪🏽 STRENGTHS

🩷 VALUES
When you know what you VALUE, you can make career decisions that won’t ultimately clash with the things that matter to you, giving you a much better chance to feel satisfied in a job long-term.
🌿 CHALLENGES
When you have an idea of what PROBLEMS or CHALLENGES you want to solve in the world, you can move toward a career that’s purposeful. People are much more likely to love their work if it feels purposeful to them.
