Reimagine Law

Having the courage to carry out “career experiments” as you develop is a great way to learn. What are the benefits, and how do you best create these opportunities?

Show Notes

The second episode in our mini-series with tips and ideas for personal development talks about learning through experimentation.  What projects could you try in parallel to, or as part of your current role, which also allow you to think about future roles and career options?  

 These experiments can help you to think a couple of steps ahead – and give you some ideas to challenge whether the current path you are on is a good long-term fit for you.

 Also, keep a log of how you feel about these new ideas you are trying out.  Are they exciting, challenging, or perhaps not what you imagined (in a positive, or less positive way)?

Questions to consider:

·       If you were planning 2 steps ahead in your career, what do you think you might you like to be doing then? 
·       To explore these ideas more, what live experiments could you create now to let you see if these types of roles or projects might be ones you enjoy?
