For a successful career it is a prerequisite to develop your individual strategy pro-actively and as early as possible.  Although the routine of your daily work usually keeps you from pausing for a moment, it is pivotal to set some time apart for exploring  your individual professional profile and for being able to plan each of your career moves in a conscious way. Being aware of your personal skills, competencies, and values is essential for defining and achieving your goals, making informed decisions and exhausting your full potential.
