Most people in my experience get stuck at identifying resources at their disposal, but once they start recognising their resources, they smartly start using them to their advantage. This will go a long way in structuring your careers and help you get answers to your career barriers Again the best way to reach out to your networks and ask the question, How can I help you/your organisation with my skills? At first, you can even start pro-bono and offer your help. Once you recognise your resources, it is important to start leveraging such resources to your advantage. It is therefore important to keep a tab on your capabilities irrespective of whether it is required in the current role. Not required in the current role does not imply these skills aren't of any use. In our careers, we gain a lot of capabilities as we progress, but leverage only those that are pertinent and relevant to the current role.

One way to enlist our capabilities is to ask the question, What are all the professional services that I can provide that is of value to individuals and organisations? It can be as simple as I can prepare excellent presentations, or something that you can teach others, or some subject matter that you are good at, or specialise in. Resources in this context could be anything from the capabilities we possess to our professional networks and the opportunities around us. We have to be constantly aware of the resources we have at our disposal.

The two critical lessons here would be to recognise the resources available and being resourceful, i.e knowing how to leverage what is available and put it to optimal use.Ĭareers are no different. Be it tooling a rock to open coconuts, to recover the shoes off his dead co-pilot, crafting a fishing spear, or kindling fire. He uses each of these resources to ensure his basic needs are met. In the movie, Chuck diligently recognises various resources that he would need to survive. One of the important lesson Cast Away teaches us is the importance of resources.
Also, you can't expect them to incarnate as your support during a crisis, it is quite important to identify and constantly nurture such relationships, and not just during the testing times.Ĭan you list up to 5 names that you can have meaningful discussions, about your career, with whom you can confide not just your success but your failures as well, one who wouldn't keep singing paeans, but be critical of you, most importantly, one who can be your 'Wilson' Know your Resources Good news is that, since we are not stranded on an island and there aren't dearth for mentors, peers, or even good friends, you can have a set of confidants (full of life :-D) with whom we can have honest conversations, who can act as sounding boards for us helping us navigate though situations much effective than talking to a personified volleyball. Drawing inspiration from the movie, It is important to identify such channels for the emotional well being. It is very important to keep the emotions in check. The first casualty, when faced with a career crisis, is a huge blow on the emotional front. This helps him keep himself emotionally stable. Throughout his stay in the island, he keeps having regular conversations and arguments with Wilson. Chuck Noland finds a companion in the lifeless Wilson, a volleyball during the four lonely years in the island.
