One of the best tools I've found for my own ongoing professional development is a career journal. I began journaling for professional purposes about 7 years ago when I bought an artist's sketchbook to maintain all of my ideas related to a particular project I was working on. Since then, my journaling practices have evolved and in this post I want to explore the different ways you can use a career journal to support your positive professional development. .

I'm one of those people that loves to sit and people watch. Give me a nice, cold Diet Dr. Pepper and put me in a shopping mall or airport terminal, and I'm perfectly happy to find a nice seat and do nothing but watch people go by. I like to wonder where the people are going, what they do for a living and why they're wearing Uggs in the middle of summer.

When I first started playing around with writing about career journals , I asked on Twitter if anyone was using them. I heard back from Harold Jarche , who wondered if a blog "counts" as a journal. Of course it does and many of us use our blogs this way, collecting, processing, documenting and thinking things through. But I tend to think that we may miss something if our blogs are our only form of career journaling.

When the candidate was found, the manager was very happy and tendered a fair and just offer. But the candidate said he needed a few days to think things over and the fair and just manager agreed. Finally, the job candidate called the manager to deliver the news.

Recognition can be incredibly addicting – but the good kind of addiction, because being recognized once is never enough. When you recognize an employee on-the-spot for a job well done, it can be very powerful. This type of recognition is powerful because the employee receives timely, specific and meaningful feedback, which reinforces that the certain behavior should be repeated.

I was thinking about this in regard to my upcoming Dream It/Do It Retreat where I'll be bringing together a group of people who don't know each other to work on their creative projects.

I have always been a runner, I love it because running does not depend on having a field to play, having a team or getting a bunch of people organized to go play. I dislike it because it requires extreme discipline, nobody is waiting for you, not your team not the other team just the park, the streets, the roads. I love it also because some time ago it gave me one of the best lessons I have had in life: how to stop competing and win!
