Your Career Needs
In this video you will learn what your 'needs' are in your career. There are 'universal' needs for every human and its important to understand what they are as well as your 'specific' needs as an individual.
Once you understand these things its easier to make clear decisions on your work environment, work tasks, how you want to communicate and be communicated with, what levels of recognition and security and important to you and so on. If you are unaware of your needs you cannot ask for what you want.
You will use the Work-It Sheet in the resources section to reflect and identify you universal and specific individual needs in your career.
