Using AI to get career coaching

- You know how the best athletes of sports coaches to help them reach peak performance and how the best singers of vocal coaches to develop their voices, and obviously how I have a fashion coach, because you don't get to look this good by accident, do you? Well, if you want to accelerate your career, it makes sense to have a coach helping you along the way, and that's exactly what this prompt gives you, a career coach in your pocket that you can call on whenever you need it. It's exactly what I wish that I had had when I was starting out in my career as a supermodel. The prompt works by asking you questions to understand what you're currently doing, what really matters to you, and where you want to go. Then it creates a practical action plan to help you get there faster. It even suggests specific training courses and resources that could help you on your journey, but here's what makes this prompt really valuable. It helps you articulate those undefined thoughts that are floating around in your head. It helps you understand yourself better so that you can see more clearly where you are on your journey. Because if you don't know the destination that you want to reach, it's highly unlikely that you're going to get there, and it makes you an absolutely terrible choice of driver on a road trip. Remember that career progression isn't necessarily about moving to a higher rung of the ladder. It may be that you want to focus your role on something that you'd find more rewarding, a sideways move, or even consider a different role altogether. For most people, it's important to be able to pivot and to adapt what you do. I'm sure that you've read articles stating that a significant percentage of jobs in the next 10 years don't exist yet, so it's probably a good idea to run this prompt at least once a year to recalibrate the direction that you might want to go in as more opportunities appear. I've got absolutely no idea what I'm going to be doing in 10 years time. Maybe I'll be a robot etiquette consultant or an augmented reality pig farmer or something. Anyway, join me in the next lesson where I'm going to rewind my career and see how my career could have turned out if I'd been more sensible.
