1. Self-Awareness

• A successful career starts with knowing who you are. Self-awareness is the foundation for making aligned decisions, it helps you understand your values, motivations, natural strengths, and what kind of work energizes or drains you. Without this clarity, it’s easy to follow someone else’s path instead of carving out your own.

2. Values

• Your values are your internal compass. They define what matters to you and guide your behavior in the workplace. By identifying your core values early on, you can pursue roles and organizations that reflect your principles, leading to greater fulfillment and long-term alignment.

3. Strengths

• Understanding and leveraging your unique strengths allows you to play to your advantage. Recognizing what you do best, and how it creates value, helps you position yourself for roles where you can thrive, deliver results, and stand out.

4. Purpose

• Purpose brings meaning to your work. It’s the deeper “why” behind your career. When your daily tasks are aligned with your larger mission, you’re more likely to stay motivated, overcome challenges, and create a career that feels worthwhile, not just successful.
