Elaine, Like your checklist for New Career Goals: Vision, Back it up with Action, Set some short term goals. Thanks for sharing. I can share one of my key tricks that has helped me over the years: 'Trend is your friend, find the trend (tech trend /areas related to your line) before most others do and then develop/work a plan to achieve expertise in that trend. This will ensure you will always be in demand. In my case the goal is to expand into an area where my Company doesn't offer too many options. I have been interested in IoT/IoE for few years about 2 and have been building my skills, but have to find a better place to engage in this work.
