Does your work no longer satisfy you? And if you took the summer to ask yourself the right questions

If you get a chance to take a real break this summer, do it for it rejuvenate physically and mentally, you may have the opportunity to ask yourself real questions about your future. It is a matter of professional future because this obviously affects your personal future.

So, if you inadvertently find yourself thinking negatively about your return from vacation to work, this could be a sign something more suited to your true desires awaits you elsewhere. To better target your questions, here is perhaps the most interesting Next Generation Skill Assessment this program is called Take stock and was created by Switch Collective.

Enjoy your holidays, dedicate time to your future

Before starting to tell you more Take stockget fit. Imagine yourself on vacation in a place where you enjoy a relaxing activity, it is in this very moment that you will find the brain available to ask yourself the right questions.

Exactly Laure Maunoury, educational director of Switch Collective, explains that before asking the right questions, a few small exercises that you can do on the beach or on top of a mountain, can guide you. Don’t worry, you won’t have to do any retroplanning! The whole principle is not to feel guilty for really being disconnected during the vacation, a pleasant two in one. I also lent myself to the game:

Exercise 1: Do a retrospective

The first exercise is take stock of the past six months, highlighting what you preferred to do and, conversely, what you liked least. Then again during the same exercise ask yourself what you want to improve and of course how you project yourself over the next few months.

For my part, in a notebook, I started noting the month of January, then below, a positive moment and a negative moment and I repeated it for every month until June. Personally, I really like my job, but like everyone else I sometimes complain (I’m still French) and seeing all these positive points made me put things in perspective right away. Then a few days later I went back to my notes, and I have set an intentionthe goal that brought me the most.

Exercise 2: Do nothing

The second exercise results learning nothing, Yes, you read that correctly ! In fact, learning to disconnect and know how to step back and take time for yourself is sometimes not innate, it is an exercise like any other. For Laure Manoury, this fits into Switch Collective’s concept of fertile void:

At Switch, we call these phases “fertile void”. Our belief but above all our experience is that the “void” is an ESSENTIAL step in a process of change, of whatever transformation it is. It is very FERTILE. And very often we tend to forget it.

Exercise 3: Back to school projects

The last exercise, and not least, is the PPP method (First baby steps)That Laure Maunoury explains with a series of small steps that will allow participants to naturally identify their next professional step, rather than a leap into the void that is often daunting. This last time should only be done at the end of your rest time, once your brain has been properly paused.

In other words, I continued the experiment and after a few days I visualized the intention that resulted from the first exercise. I actually imagined the first small step that would lead me to my goal to start moving forward, as the first stone of my project.

The goal of these various exercises will be tolearn and draw in your mind the directions you want to goto go forward with calm and serenity in thought, in short, a real moment of personal growth.

“Alone we go faster, together we go further”

But what exactly does it mean to choose to go to Switch Collective and choose to do a Next Generation Skill Assessment. The program Take stock fits your schedule, regardless of whether you live in Paris or not, whether you are still on duty or not and it is spread over a period of less than two months. There are two formulas to choose from:

• the first is in PRESENT and takes place in Paris with two full days spent with two trainers and a class of 28 participants and two group sessions at a distance.
• The second is happening ON LINE with two trainers and a class of 22 participants and, as the name suggests, is 100% online and therefore accessible from anywhere in France and beyond.

Whichever formula you choose in both cases, you will benefit from personalized support, 1h30 subgroup session and you will have access to a collaborative space for exchange with your trainers and other members of your class everytime. You can icing on the cake too chat with the Switch familythat is a community of 10,000 alumni who have passed through “Assess the Balance sheet” a powerful network accessible for life!

The collective is the primary asset of this next generation skills assessmentfurthermore, the founding team of this program has a deep conviction that it is a force too often overlooked during career reorientation. Sending your project, questions or fears to a group during its construction can make us evolve positively, allow us to gain altitude to perceive new tracks never imagined before doing the experience “Take stock”.
