1. Personal mission: what do I really want to achieve as a person / as a

professional?
A personal mission:
– gives direction in your (career) choices
– makes you more aware if you are doing good
– can be translated to personal intermediate goals and your action plan to avoid disappointments

When you formulate your personal mission, we advise you that you do not think about a specific function, but rather
about the expectations that your dream job should meet. It is a collection of elements you like in a job, knowing what
is important for you. For further information / tools, you can have a look at the appendix.

What do I really want / is important in my career. (Keep you core qualities and core values in mind.)

My personal mission Feedback of my supervisor New insights?

Lately I’ve been doing an evaluation and
I coming to some conclusions about
myself and my career. I really like what
I’m doing now, but I cannot say I find
myself 100% in this assistant position.

Being an introverted person, I often

encountered situations that did not
make me feel comfortable. And I am
more of person who likes to have a clear
vision of my task, a certain calendar.

Organizing events are a passion for me

and I really like to organize them, but at
company level things are a little
different.

I think in the past, the only problem was

that I wanted to take on and do many
new tasks at once and I lost my focus.
Most likely, a new person like Laurentiu,
would have been very helpful. He could
free me so I could take over big
customers from Peter.

I can help to take over the complex

clients from Peter, maybe in this way he
can do other steps further.

But I kept thinking and came to the

conclusion that I would like to go back to
Controlling.

Because I attented to many trainings,

such as excel and power BI, and only
recently I had the opportunity to put
them into practice, I would like to have a
focus on that too.

Appendix: tools to define your personal mission

 Inspiration for personal mission statement

 Core qualities and important skills: where am I good at?

Core qualities are what we call the qualities that most typify the person. They are the qualities that are typically 'you', the ones we
own from the moment we are born. Qualities shouldn't be confused with skills. A skill is something you can learn, a quality is
something you have. However, there is always a link between skills and qualities. A person, who possesses the core quality
“empathy”, can further develop his or her listening capabilities. Someone who has the quality of vigour can further develop the skill
of decisiveness. Do you find it hard to define your core qualities? Get inspired via the following links!

How do I see myself? Feedback that I receive from my Where are the differences? How do I
manager / mentor / others? explain those differences?

I think I am a total genuine and

natural person. I am patience,
multitasking, curious to find new
things, and determined to achieve
my goals.
I consider myself a dedicated
professional person an I really enjoy
my work.
I am interested in developing some
technical skills and in maximizing use
of my talents to add value and
contribute more to my department.
I enjoy working in a team
environment an I get along well with
people.
I have an open mind to learn,
because in my opinion in this field
you have to adapt to new things
every time.

 Core values: where do I stand for?

Core values are deeply rooted convictions that filter our vision, and our judgment, of ourselves and of others. Where qualities say
HOW you do things and in what you are good at, values explain WHY you do things. Core values are the reasons to explain the why
of your actions. Do you find it hard to define your core values? Get inspired by the following link!
https://christieinge.com/personal-core-values/
What affects me? When do I react
emotionally?
- Financial part;
- The insecurity of my
professional path in this
moment;
- The behavior of the people I
work with;
 What gives me positive energy? (And what brings me down?)
Write down the moments when you
felt energized by the task you were
doing. And what are the activities
that demotivate you?
The part I like the most is organizing
events. It gave me the opportunity to
learn new things and each event was
a new challenge.
Stress usually brings me down, when
I feel a I have a lot of things to do in
a short time. The fact that tasks
come from different people and ad
hoc sometimes, it is a little difficult
for me.
What are my core values?
- Determination;
- Learning;
- Loyalty;
- Honesty;
- Persistence;
Do you get feedback from your
manager or colleagues when they
see you are working passionately or
when you are having a hard time
(feeling less energy)?
Yes, I get feedback from them.
How do these values give direction
to my career? What elements are
essential for me in my job?
- I believe that determination
and learning are 2
important keys to creating a
strong and successful
career. That means that you
need to have clarity of
purpose and a direction.
- Loyalty and honesty can
help build relationship with
others people around you.
- To grow my career and to
achieve success, I need to
take constant action and I
must complete all of the
steps required along the
way. It is not often easy,
maybe sometimes I will face
challenges, but I just have
to keep persisting.
What patterns do you recognize?
Energizers? Energy drainers?
I think that drainers cannot be
avoided in our life, but we can look
for way to eliminate or reduce them.
Most of the time I spend on activities
that energize me and I try to feel
positive and hopeful.
