As with the other exercises, this one is unlikely to provide all the answers or a complete new direction. It’s more likely to provide a steer or suggest some new possibilities to be explored. It may be that you start to take these considerations more seriously in planning the future.

For example, a clothing industry technician might decide to investigate working for companies with policies of ethical trading or using organic methods in the production of raw materials, or might decide to start a business with an emphasis on these approaches. This would mean some change of direction in a way that was meaningful to her, without a complete change, and still making use of many of her skills.

Summary

This whole section on self-analysis may have created a lot of new information - new information about you. It’s likely some parts may have been more useful than others; don’t worry about that – people are different and need different approaches.

We’ll use the new information when starting to research and assess possible new directions.
