Bangkok--18 Feb--SEAC (Southeast Asia Center)
"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." This is a quote byLes Brown,a well-recognised motivational speaker that has become increasingly powerful in the modern era as the world steps into the new decade. Amid social changes coupled with technological advancement, it's time to decide how to step out of the comfort zone and embrace new challenges, how to design your new life and career, and boost the chances of success to catch up with the changes in our world.
Ms. Arinya Talerngsri, Chief Capability Officer & Managing Director of SEAC (Southeast Asia Centre), said "SEAC believes the most significant way to survive occupational challenges in the new decade is through mindset and skillset adjustment.In the modern world, unexpected changes are caused by various variables including new business models, new communication approach, not to mention more simplified and convenient connectivity. All these factors are drivers of change which play a significant role in encouraging people to "have" a new mindset and skillset to pave the way for self-development and results they desire. Having said that, SEAC has decodedThree Tips for Designing Your Ideal Life and Career to boost the chances of success.With these guidelines, everyone can understand that they can get a dream job even though their educational background doesn't match. Academic certificates and degrees are not as important as understanding oneself, the society and the changing world which would allow us to design our own life and career."
Tip 1 – Don't let your career define you. You can choose the life and career you want
- Technology & Life Integration –Technology finds its way into every living dimension, allowing us to have more choices, and save more money and time. Technology can also help increase career efficiency if we know how to make the best of it.
- Work & Life Integration –These days, life and work have become inseparable. Hardly anyone works from 8am to 6pm sharp anymore because career responsibilities crawl into people's daily lives. The best way to deal with this is time management which could lead to appropriate work- life integration.
- Design Your Own Career –Amid changes in the working world, people can design their own career. This, however, should begin with important questions: For people with the passion to run their own business, the question could be: which industry are they interested in and what skills do they require for such an industry? Freelancers could ask themselves about how they can expand their boundaries beyond one job. Customers' requirements are changing so swiftly these days so increasing self-value is paramount. For new graduates, they need to dream big and not be afraid of failures. They should open their minds to learn about what they truly want in life and what kind of job that could take them to those dreams.
Tip 2 – The right mindset and skillset can push you forward
When you can picture your potential life and the career changes you want, the next step is to choose the right mindset to reach the goal as well as to equip yourself with the right skillset for the future.
These are five mindsets that have enabled many people to achieve their dreams:
- Growth Mindset –A belief thathumans are the only beings capable of lifelong development.They can be whatever they want and whatever they are capable of as long as they have enough determination and perseverance to brave through challenges and adversities.
- Outward Mindset –A belief that helps people become more open to learning through understanding other people in the world. Those "other people" could be those with different attitudes and thinking or they might not totally agree with our ideas because everyone has different needs. But opening up to those differences enables us to see that everyone is equally important and we all can work together for a mutual benefit. This could allowmore chances to learn from different people and from every context.
- Learning Mindset –A belief thatonly you could be the driving force to challenge yourself for further learning and developmentto the point that can bring you to a life and career you desire.
- Agile Mindset –A belief among people who do not succumb to obstacles. Instead they see obstacles and life challenges as opportunities to learn and quickly adapt to change. They believeworking and solving problems as a team as well as an effort to come up with new approaches through iteration could result in efficient solutions and better answersthat could create some changes.
- Curious Mindset –A belief aboutbringing yourself out to an unfamiliar zone to learn things that have never been learnt before,boosting curiosity and courage to battle against challenges.
While these five mindsets can be the stepping stones for people to achieve their dreams, the importance of having the necessary skillset must not be overlooked. However, approaching skillset – both hard skills and soft – is different from mindset in which it can be difficult to indicate which skillset is most required at a particular moment because continues to evolve.
Tip 3 – Techniques to adjust mindset and change skillset
People are all aware that mindset is the key to human resource development because it defines all human behaviors. This means mindset development can be a stepping stone for sustainable changes. But adjusting mindset is not a piece of cake. It requires practices which, in the long run, can turn to personality – just like the development of skill that also requires practice and hands-on learning experiences. Together, this must be carried out with reskilling, which means looking out and creating new skills in response to global trends, as well as upskilling, an approach to strengthen and enhancing current skills so that they can still be applicable to the modern world.
"These three tips function asguidelines to help people design their life and career more easily and also to help enhance the chances of success.The important part is for people to keep exercising and sharpening their mindset and skillset so they can catch up with the changes in the modern era,"Ms. Arinya Talerngsriconcluded.
