You’re good at what you do.

Let’s make sure that your work is sustainable for you.

The Career Temperature Check is a guided, monthly practice that helps you check in with the health of 3 critical aspects of your career:

1. What You Have (Your 8 Forms of Capital)

2. What You Want (Your Core Values)

3. What You Do (Your Primary Projects + Activities)

Observing these three categories will help you see what’s working well, identify weaker areas, and gain a holistic perspective on the health of your career ecosystem.

The First Step in a Good Design

Whether it’s your career or your garden, the first stage of healthy, sustainable design is observation.

Permaculture designers say that before you start making changes on the land you’re stewarding (eg. building your house, homestead, garden, etc.), you should ideally pitch a tent, and spend an entire year just observing the patterns of all that is already there.

Once you’ve got the big picture, once you know what the plants, animals, water, wind, sun, shade, and other elements are like throughout all seasons, then you can make a plan to build something new.

It’s the same with your career.

Do you have a way of checking in regularly with all the elements in your career ecosystem before you make design changes?

The Career Temperature Check is a simple, effective practice to help contextualize your stronger and weaker areas, so that you can make sure you’re building projects that feel fulfilling and become more sustainable for you as time goes on. An hour and a half of deep observation now could make all the difference a month, a year, a decade from now. Your future self thanks you!

On February 10, 2024, The Career Temperature Check is open to the public.
