Becky and Diana discuss the second part of P4, Preferences, and their importance in making choices about your educational and career choices and opportunities.
• P4 = Personality, Preferences,
Proficiencies, & Passion. P to the 4th power!
• Diana created P4 because knowing
these 4 things about yourself gives you power over the direction
you take in life.
• The 2nd P is
Preferences.
• Most people don’t take into
account the importance preferences make on our life and career
decisions.
• Preferences can change over time,
based on our experiences.
• Deal Breakers; however, do not
change. If wearing a tie makes you feel like you’re being
strangled, you’re always going to hate wearing a tie. So don’t get
a job where you have to wear a tie!
• To find out if your compromising
on a Deal Breaker, listen to your inner voice.
• Skill-based majors and learning
choices are the best way to enhance the skills you enjoy using.
They also give you room to test and redirect your career path as
you go.
• You can deepen your understanding
of your preferences by asking yourself “Why are these preferences
important?”
• Use your values as your GPS to
keep you on the right course.
• If you find you need to adjust
your course, remember that you’re adjusting it, not changing
it.
• Preferences should never be based
on other people’s expectations of you.
• You define your success, not other
people or outside forces (like social media or peer
pressure).
• When people tell you “You can’t”
or “You should or shouldn’t,” their advice is based on their
limited experience, including their own regrets and fears. Their
advice really isn’t about you.
