, Lecture Notes
LO 1-1: The Difference Between a Job and a Career (text pages 6 – 11; ppt 3, 4)
NOTES: Challenge students to explain the statement: “Do what you love, and the money will
follow.” Lead the discussion about this statement to the definitions of job (a work situation for
earning money), career (a profession built on skills, passions, experience, education, and
preferences), and avocation (an activity or hobby done for enjoyment) (ppt 3), and gig economy
(a job outside traditional work used to get by and pay bills) (ppt 4). Students should conclude
that putting these elements together guides a person’s career mission. Career Coach 1.1 (text
page 7) provides data supporting the success of the strategy of aligning personal interests and
talents with career goals.
LO 1-2: Managing Your Career (text page 11; ppt 5)
NOTES: Review ppt 5 elements of career management: life-long process, under control, reflects
values, talents, gifts, passions. Get students started answering the Exercise 1.1 personal clues
questions (text page 12). Direct students to relate these personal clues to “doing what you love”
using the Cyber Trip 1.1 survey (text pages 12 – 13).
LO 1-3: The Importance of Effective Goal Setting (text pages 13 – 28; ppt 7)
You Need Goals (text pages 13 – 15; ppt 8)
NOTES: Emphasize the point that goals provide structure to activities. That structure enables
high performance. A new point you can teach in this section is that the human brain is
teleological. The definition of teleological is goal-directed behavior. Like heat seeking missiles,
the human brain loves goals and loves to attain goals. Without a goal there is nothing for the
human brain to aim toward. That is why it is important to set goals in all areas of one’s life,
including career.
Writing Down Your Goals (text pages 15 – 18; ppt 8)
NOTES: Stress the facts that the activity of writing is an aid to forming one’s thoughts and that
forming thoughts is the beginning of structuring actions (ppt 8). As described in Career Coach
1.2 (text page 17), the writing is a first step in forming new behaviors. Review the important
success principle (text page 14) to begin thinking of career goals with the end result in mind.
Exercises of “working backwards” help to shape subconscious thought patterns into goal-
directed (teleological) behavior. Direct the students to complete Exercise 1.2 (text pages 17 –
18).
Attitude and Self-Talk (text pages 19 – 21; ppt 9)
NOTES: Review and stress that attitude is an important determining factor in career success
and that self-talk is an important tool to master the mental chatter that gets expressed as
“attitude” (ppt 9). Ask the students to distinguish between “happy” and “constructive” thoughts.
Which are more important to train and why? The students should understand that constructive
thoughts keep people focused on outcomes and actions. Encourage students to use Exercises
1.3, 1.4, and 1.5 (text pages 19 – 21) to gain mastery over a variety of self-defeating thoughts
such as “I can’t” or “I should” or “What if I fail?”
Affirmations (text page 21; ppt 9)
NOTES: Define “affirmation” as a positive statement (text page 21; ppt 9). Emphasize that
affirmations are enormously powerful. They are one of the most simple and basic tools we use
to change the quality of our lives. Affirmations essentially retrain the brain including the beliefs
that lead to habits. There are specific ways that affirmations should be written to maximize
results. The subconscious only sees things in terms of the here and now. That is why they
