Over the past year, I've realized that I spend virtually all of my productive time accomplishing my employer's goals. I have never questioned whether these are in line with my personal career goals, because until now I had not set any. Big mistake!

So I sought out a coach and worked with her for over 6 months to set a vision for my future as well as a strategy for what I wanted to achieve with my work and how I wanted to accomplish it. I recently published an article on Medium about the most important methods for me in the process. Check it out and feel free to get back to me with feedback; I'm interested in your opinions on the topic.
