Douglas E. Welch (http://douglasewelch.com) presents to the class Career Development – Theories and Techniques at Pepperdine Graduate School of Education & Psychology taught by fellow CareerCamp Co-Chair, Danielle Gruen

The two biggest challenges are deciding what you want to do as a career and then building the career you deserve once you decide.

I discuss the Career Compass method of discovering your career wants, needs and desires and then using various social media tools to show people “What you do and how well you do it”

Transcript:

It’s your job to put that stuff out there. There’s a famous study from a creativity book many years ago — many decades ago — where they took 2 art classes and they said “Art Class A. Your job is to produce the perfect pot. You have all semester. Produce the perfect pot.” Ok? They went to the second class and said “Class. Your job is to produce as many pots as you can possibly do in the semester. Ok? Quality doesn’t matter just produce as many pots as you possibly can.” Then they had a little show at the end of the semester and they brought the pots together from the “quantity” class and the “quality” class. Guess which class was judged to have the highest quality of pot?These guys. Quantity is important if you’re learning from each one you do. Thet fact is, while this class was trying to perfect a pot, this class was throwing out tons and tons of pots and hopefully learning with every single pot they made. What did work, What didn’t work, so that by the end of the semester they were able to produce a high-quality pot because they simply learned by doing.
