What do you want them to say about you, what do you want to be remembered for? What do you want to have achieved or contributed to the organisation or colleagues?<\/p>\n Having done the exercise, what are the main features of your vision for the future?<\/p>\n Focusing on the end goal can help you to see some of the things you may want to work towards, the values that are important to you and things you want to factor into your life plans. It might also help you to realise, success is not just based on what you do, but equally important is how you do it. \t\t\t\t Introduction Skills Playing to your strengths Using your subject Interests and passions Personality Identity Values Motivations Personal circumstances and needs A vision of the future –\u00a0Your retirement speech –\u00a0Live the dream –\u00a0Create a picture of the future Finding the balance Environment Summary Your retirement speech When you retire, it is customary for the colleagues to…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"full-width-page.php","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/careers.dept.shef.ac.uk\/gradplanning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1818"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/careers.dept.shef.ac.uk\/gradplanning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/careers.dept.shef.ac.uk\/gradplanning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/careers.dept.shef.ac.uk\/gradplanning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/careers.dept.shef.ac.uk\/gradplanning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1818"}],"version-history":[{"count":27,"href":"https:\/\/careers.dept.shef.ac.uk\/gradplanning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1818\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2919,"href":"https:\/\/careers.dept.shef.ac.uk\/gradplanning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1818\/revisions\/2919"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/careers.dept.shef.ac.uk\/gradplanning\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Your retirement speech<\/h1>\n
