Every ten years, U.S. travelers are required to renew their passports due to changing homeland security regulations. Renewing your passport means your travel documentation is accurate, up-to-date and in alignment with government travel requirements. In the same vein, it’s important that you take the time to reassess the current conditions in your life and make sure your present job is still in alignment with who you are and where you want to be. As roles and responsibilities in organizations reposition and change over time, ask yourself if your professional actions and outcomes are still in alignment with your job and career goals. Each year, get a big-picture perspective with your leader about the broader organization, and inquire about changes they foresee for your company, your department, and your role. Discuss what you can do today to realign and renew your skills so you can be ahead of the change curve. When did you last have this conversation with your manager? How’d it go?
