Hey Parent Brains - One thing I see many people doing in life is being pulled or pushed along by other people with no clear direction for themselves - and no goals.
They soon end up somewhere where they didn't want to be. Whether this be in their career, their business, their hobbies or anything else. But more importantly, they become people who they didn't want to become.
One way to tackle this is to Paint a Picture of the future.
I don't mean using paint and paper - although if you're skilled enough, why not?
I mean grabbing a sheet of paper and writing down what your future, 10 years from now, looks like.
In this episode I explain how to do this, then set some 5 year goals, and then some 1 year goals.

In this episode I share The Trinity of Career Development; three tools that help you discover what you're good at, how you prefer to work & communicate and lastly, what you need in your life to be happy.
Wouldn’t it be great to grow our careers in line with who we are? To know yourself at work?
To find a career and job that plays to our strengths and seems to fit us well?
Using The Trinity of Career Development I created a “guide to myself” that I could then use to understand how to be better at work, find work that played to my strengths and find things in my life to make me happy.

The key to becoming a smarter parent is to become a better person - a more knowledgable, caring, decisive, healthy and thoughtful person - at the core of this is the need to learn and discover more. It's the core underlying premise of Parent Brain.
In order to become better though we must learn to be better. Better in whatever aspects of our lives we need to improve. This could be health, communication, management theory, money, dealing with tricky people, focus, mindfulness or anything else we are keen to study and learn.
The best way to continually improve is to learn and that means developing your own personal knowledge management system (PKMS).
