How to Develop a 5-Year Career Plan
Mary McNevin, Ed. D.
Harvard Business Review·2023
Having a long-term plan for your career can help you reduce career-related stress, increase your perceived employability, and allow you to connect more deeply with your purpose. But how do you move beyond yearly career goals and create a five-year plan? Brainstorm. Start by thinking about how you want your career to develop and what you need to do to get there. This requires self-reflection. You’ll need to identify your primary goal, your passions, how your existing skills contribute to both those things, and your areas for improvement. Gather feedback. We’re not aways the best judges of our own capabilities and strengths. That’s why it can be important early in your planning process to gather feedback from your superiors, mentors, and peers. They may help you discover career opportunities you never considered for yourself, clue you into strengths you may be overlooking, and share insights regarding your areas for growth and development. Map it out. After doing some self-reflection and gathering feedback, it’s time to organize the information you’ve collected. Consider keeping track of your plan in PowerPoint. For example, slide 1 should outline the career goals you identified in your self-reflection. Slide 2 should list out the skills you already have and the ones you would need to achieve your ultimate career goals. Slide 3 should highlight the development activities you plan to pursue over the next five years to help you achieve your goals. And slide 4 should present all of the possible obstacles that might prevent you from achieving your goal and how to address those challenges. Iterate. Unlike year-long goal setting, the process of creating a five-year plan is never complete. One way to ensure you’re keeping your plan updated is to set a quarterly calendar reminder. This will help you address any new developments in your life or career and make changes where necessary.

View paper →From the rod to respect: the impact of Enlightenment theories on child discipline
Molly Dycher
Universeteit Ledein·2019
Theories on childhood during the Age of Enlightenment were very influential in transforming the mainstream practice used for maintaining discipline in the eighteenth century. The purpose of this thesis is to assess how enlightened theories altered the trajectory of child discipline and question whether the impact continued to influence current disciplinary strategies. However, as enlightenment literature was dominated by male authors, the mother was often portrayed as an inadequate disciplinarian due to her natural emotionality and attachment to the child. Given the important role the mother had in child-rearing practices of the eighteenth century, it is curious why her voice on the matter of discipline was marginal. Therefore, the mother’s opinion on discipline was evaluated to assess whether she followed the strategies proposed by the male authors. Literature from childcare manuals, domestic rule books and personal accounts was investigated and the ideas compared to current methods of discipline. This literature review demonstrates that enlightenment theories called for a softer form of discipline which sparked the contemporary movement towards child-centred and positive discipline. Furthermore, the mother’s role in discipline was relegated and essentially written out of eighteenth century history despite her modern-minded approach.
