00:00:06,350 --> 00:00:13,400

Alright cool so welcome to the side by side here on using the Vista tool for making strategic career



2

00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,570

alignment decisions for yourself.



3

00:00:15,590 --> 00:00:18,650

So I'm just going to introduce this tool to you briefly.



4

00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:23,660

So first you're going to look at your values and you'll notice here that our team has put together a



5

00:00:23,660 --> 00:00:30,650

list of values that we accumulated from third party sources and made mutually exclusive and these are



6

00:00:30,650 --> 00:00:33,960

some values that are pretty common to professionals.



7

00:00:33,980 --> 00:00:35,250

So you can choose.



8

00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:40,790

You know some of these to help you fill out that section you're going to start looking at in your interests.



9

00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,170

And we have some questions for you to think about here to reflect on what your professional interests



10

00:00:45,170 --> 00:00:45,790

are.



11

00:00:45,890 --> 00:00:47,720

Then you're going to move on to your strengths.



12

00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:54,710

And it's often helpful to maybe even consult with somebody close to you like a good friend a wife a



13

00:00:54,710 --> 00:01:01,310

former boss for a third party opinion on this and thank you come on from the easel community for that



14

00:01:01,310 --> 00:01:07,910

suggestion and then you're going to look at your personal traits specifically these characteristics



15

00:01:07,910 --> 00:01:12,240

that are going to help you understand what kind of work culture is going to be appropriate for you.



16

00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:18,290

And then you're going to basically connect the dots to align what you found out about yourself and then



17

00:01:18,290 --> 00:01:25,690

try to forecast or see what what those connections mean for you in terms of your career alignment.



18

00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:31,100

So let's go ahead and look at an ad an example of a finished Vista exercise here.



19

00:01:31,100 --> 00:01:36,070

So specifically we're going to go through the values so you see this is the one I've done for myself



20

00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,340

and I've put together these values.



21

00:01:38,450 --> 00:01:45,350

For me my interests strengths traits and then basically I've connected the dots as you've seen here



22

00:01:45,350 --> 00:01:48,050

with these green connection paths.



23

00:01:48,050 --> 00:01:55,190

So basically when I connect those dots these are the outcomes that I find by basically mashing up those



24

00:01:55,190 --> 00:02:01,790

different thought points in my head and then seeing what that yields for me in terms of where I might



25

00:02:01,790 --> 00:02:03,190

take my career.



26

00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,190

So you also have a blank page for you if you want to print this out.



27

00:02:07,190 --> 00:02:10,560

This is something that is actually pretty good to do by hand.



28

00:02:10,580 --> 00:02:15,080

Just because it's easier to connect the dots of course you can do it on your computer if you if you



29

00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,360

prefer to do it that way.



30

00:02:16,490 --> 00:02:26,330

But you have all three of these documents as a part of the ease of the Vista tool for you to help yourself



31

00:02:26,390 --> 00:02:30,270

align your next career move.



32

00:02:30,410 --> 00:02:34,490

And you know that's the that's the VST tool there.



33

00:02:34,730 --> 00:02:40,710

And then it's a good thing to do as you really start to reflect on where you're going to take your search.
