Envisioning Your Career: The 3-Horizon Planning Worksheet

Are you building a career—or just collecting job titles?

Most professionals never stop to map where they're actually headed. They chase the next promotion, the next project, the next paycheck—without asking whether any of it aligns with who they want to become.

This strategic planning worksheet changes that in one focused session.

The Envisioning Your Career Worksheet guides you through a powerful framework that maps your professional future across three pivotal time horizons:
✓ 2 Years From Today – Your immediate career trajectory
✓ 10 Years From Today – Your mid-career vision
✓ Just Before Retirement – Your professional legacy

Inside This 4-Page Strategic Worksheet, You'll Clarify:
→ Where you'll be working and what you'll be doing at each stage
→ Why you're choosing this path (not just what looks good on paper)
→ How your target organizations compare to their competitors
→ What you actually want from your career at each life stage
→ How aligned your values are with your professional choices

This isn't another generic goal-setting template. It's a structured document that forces you to think across your entire career arc—so you can make decisions today that serve the leader you're becoming.

Perfect for mid-level managers ready to think strategically about their next move, emerging executives evaluating opportunities, and high-performers who refuse to let their career happen by accident.
