How to Manage Goals in the Workplace: SMART Principles, Aligning with Your Manager, Breaking Down and Tracking Goals, and Personal Career Goals

Drawing on the NACE Career Readiness Competencies for setting goals and meeting or exceeding expectations, this article explains how to set goals using the SMART framework. It covers how to align work goals with team priorities, confirm them with your supervisor, break them into milestones, and track and adjust them weekly, monthly, and quarterly.

How to Develop a Professional Mindset: Six Key Shifts from a Student Mindset to a Workplace Mindset
In school, there are clear questions and standard answers; in the workplace, problems are ambiguous, and no one guides you step-by-step. Based on the NACE Career Readiness Competencies framework, this article explains the six mindset shifts from student to professional: from completing assignments to solving problems, from waiting for instructions to proactively anticipating needs, from seeking standard answers to making sound judgments, from individual grades to team outcomes, from focusing on effort to delivering results, and from working in isolation to leveraging resources. It also provides methods for consciously developing these skills and exercises you can start while still in school.
How to Build Workplace Adaptability: Navigating New Jobs, New Managers, Department Changes, New Tools, and New Workplace Cultures

How to Build Professional Accountability: Deliver on Promises, Own Up and Fix Mistakes, Go the Extra Mile for Team Outcomes
