- Goal Setting and Action Plans: Without goals and a plan you rely on what I call the stumble method. If you’re going on a road trip, do you just get in the car and drive randomly? It may work if you don’t have a destination in mind but if you know where you want to go, you need to map out a route. Same thing for your career. A good career coach can help you do that.
