Becky and Diana discuss the third part of P4, Proficiencies, and how your proficiencies works with your Personality, Preferences, and Passion, to give you power over the direction of your life.
• Proficiencies are also known as
skill building.
• Your best skills are the ones you
can sustain, enjoy and get satisfaction from.
• It is estimated nearly 50% of the
jobs available when students begin college as freshmen will not be
available when they graduate.
• That is why most of the time it is
important to choose a skill based major, as opposed to one on a
specific job track.
• With the average plumber at 58
years old, and a welder’s salary often at 6 figures, Trade Schools
are ideal for hands on, entrepreneurial students.
• Shadow someone already doing what
you would like to do to learn more about careers.
• Soft skills, like compassion, are
just as important for many careers as traditional skills, and
require continual honing to stay effective.
• Differing skill sets can often
make two people equally effective at the same career.
• Conversation and personal
detective work are helpful in uncovering your strongest
proficiencies. This knowledge empowers you to make better choices
and life decisions.
• There are more ways to learn
something new or hone an existing skill than ever before. When you
choose the right way for you, there isn’t a wrong way.
• It is estimated 43% of college
graduates do not pick up another book after graduation. This gives
the life-long learner a definite advantage in both career and
life.
Stamp of
Brilliance
Your strongest proficiencies can be
determined by asking yourself, “Can I sustain it? Do I enjoy it?
Does it give me satisfaction?”
