Week 2 - Plan Your Growth
Plans are nothing, planning is everything - Dwight D. Eisenhower
Plans don’t need to be forever plans - things change - but clarifying a direction and defining steps to get there (planning) is important to help you achieve what you want. Writing a plan helps to get that clarity, and will also make it easier for others (like your BUD!) to understand how to best help you.
The challenge:
Define a goal for your career (short/mid/long-term) and a goal for your time in this program. Your program goal should link to your career goal, and make it clear how to measure achievement (SMART goals). Then, define at least 3 actions that you want to take to achieve your program goal. Feel free to use any template, but we also have one that you can use here: PDP Template.
⭐ Week 4 - Build Your Network This week’s challenge is about growing your network. No matter what point you are in your career, your network is going to help you. We have written a short guide to help you here: Networking is just Building Connections.
The challenge: Connect or reach out to 2 new people online, who are outside of your workplace and social group. To make it easier, choose two people in the SheSharp Slack - they could even be in this program!
Let us know how you go in #mentee-mentorship-program-2024!
Alternatively, use LinkedIn search to find someone - they could be based on common interests, a common connection, or they work for a company that you are interested in. You can also ask your BUD for some help.
