How Values Can Change Your Career Priorities as a Professional

Career priorities can change as life circumstances change.

Early priorities may include

Rapid advancement; high income; status; challenging work.

Later priorities may shift to

Flexibility; stability; family time; meaningful contribution; autonomy; learning; leadership; location.

The important question

Whether the professional recognizes the change. A values review is useful when someone says: "My career looks successful on paper, but it no longer feels right." The problem may not be lack of achievement. It may be a growing distance between what the professional values now and what the career currently demands or rewards.

Your career is more than your current job title. Understand your natural gifts, skills and values, then use them to make more intentional career decisions.
