PERSONAL & PROFESSIONAL DASHBOARD - "No wind is good for the sailor that does not know where goes"

I think  that there is a very deep  relation between the different arts and sciences, as you can see in the influence of  Freud in the surrealism,  and that you can apply a practice applied in an area to another area, as some invents discovered in the space by the NASA are applied nowadays in our real life in the earth, as for example, the nappies, the joystick or the Velcro.

Some years ago I did a exercise inside my company called "Bilan de Competence" that consists in analyzing all your professional career,  obtain feedbacks from your colleagues, friends and bosses,  find your strengths and weaknesses and considering all the  data, the final results are two:  

1) Your ideal professional position

2) The action plan to get there. 

Although it was a very demanding exercise in terms of time, analysis and psychological change to assume the real facts, I am very satisfied about the results, because now I know how to take advantage of  my strengths,  I am more conscious to avoid errors coming from my weaknesses,  I am more constant and regular, I have a target to get and eventually,  I am more motivated at work.

But I discovered that there was a link between my failures in my professional life and in my personal life, because  at the end the person is the professional and you behave in the same way, and surprisingly  I discovered  that I was not using  some very good traits from  my personal life in my professional life; for example, I am a very  consensual and friendly person in  my personal life, but I was not so friendly in my professional life, because I was too absorbed by deadlines and tasks to complete.

And I discovered something more interesting,....  in  the period from September to November,  all companies plan the actions and budgets for next year and fix the set of KPIs that defines the success of all actions. This set of KPIs are called Dashboard. I realized that I could take the results from my professional analysis to define a Personal and Professional Dashboard for the next year.

 And from now on, I am doing this Dashboard  all years. Why?. No wind is good for the sailor that does not know where goes.  I  will explain the rules to do this Personal and Professional Dashboard in my next entry.
