As we move into the second half of the year, it’s a natural time to pause, reflect, and realign. Whether you’re actively job-hunting, feeling stuck in your current role, or exploring a new direction, July offers a valuable opportunity to reset with purpose.
Are you where you hoped to be by now?
At the start of the year, many professionals set clear intentions; aiming for a new role, a promotion, or greater fulfilment in their work. But as the months go by, priorities shift and momentum can stall.
The good news is it’s not too late to make this your year. In fact, some of the most powerful career shifts begin with a single decision to take action in the middle of the year.
Three Career Coaching Prompts for a Mid-Year Reset
1. What’s working and what’s not?
Take a few minutes to honestly assess your current situation. Ask yourself:
- Which tasks or responsibilities energise me; and which ones drain me?
- When do I feel most confident and engaged in my work?
- Are my current values and goals reflected in how I spend my time professionally?
2. What would success look like by the end of the year?
Setting short-term, achievable goals helps you stay focused and motivated. Consider:
- What tangible career milestone would I like to reach by December?
- What would make me feel proud or fulfilled professionally this year?
- Are there one or two specific actions I can take now to get closer to that outcome?
3. What support or structure do you need to move forward?
You don’t need to do this alone. Think about:
- Do I need guidance, accountability, or just a sounding board?
- Who in my network can I reach out to for advice, encouragement, or introductions?
- Would working with a coach help me gain clarity and build momentum more quickly?
