Youโve mapped your vision (#11 post).
Youโve thought deeply about where you want to go.
That clarity is powerful.
But clarity without action?
Its like having a map but never starting the journey
So how do you start moving forward without feeling overwhelmed?
Here are 5 powerful moves to get you started.
1. ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป
Talk to someone already doing the role or work you dream of. Ask how they got there, what surprised them, what they'd do differently. Real insight beats guesswork every time and may open doors you didnโt know were there.
2. ๐๐ผ๐น๐น๐ผ๐ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐๐
Whether itโs a different imaging modality, AI integration, or clinical leadership - go down the rabbit hole. Read around the subject, watch a webinar, explore a short course, attend a local event. Curiosity is the first sign youโre stepping into growth.
3. ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ ๐ต๐ฌ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ป๐ด๐ฒ
Set 1 bold, energising goal. Something that stretches you. Put it in your calendar. Make it visible. Tell someone about it. Accountability is how dreams get deadlines and short-term challenges build long-term change.
4. ๐๐ฎ๐ฝ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐๐บ
You've already done more than you realise.
Update your CV.
Refresh your CPD log.
Write a โcareer snapshotโ of your recent wins.
Sometimes we donโt need to chase progress.
We need to notice it.
5. ๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐๐ป๐๐ผ ๐ฆ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ก๐ฒ๐
Ask to shadow a colleague in a different role.
Sit in on a meeting outside your usual scope.
Volunteer to lead a small project.
Tiny steps can create seismic shifts.
They signal that you're ready to grow and reshape how others see your potential.
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ:
You donโt need permission or a new "๐ซ๐ฐ๐ฃ ๐ต๐ช๐ต๐ญ๐ฆ" to grow.
You just need to decide to act - on purpose, and with purpose
