Episode 27: Where do you See Yourself in Five Years?

Here it is, folks, the big question! As promised last episode, Paul got to ask Cheri: "where do you see yourself in five years?"

If someone asked you this question 5 years ago, we suspect that no one would have anticipated where we are now! In this episode, Paul and Cheri talk through what that question represents and what actual intentions are signaled when it gets posed. For example, notice the way that the question starts: is this a question about "where"? Is that really what someone wants to know about? Is this question about physical geography, or is it really about something else?

Does your answer, or even the mere consideration of your answer, lock you into a pattern of thinking about yourself? Might it actually limit and constrain your potential? Rather than providing a sense of purpose and a vision for yourself and what you do, we think this question might actually prevent you from really thinking about who you are, or what kind of person you want to be today.

So, who do you want to be today, and what do you want to work on to be a better person tomorrow? Have you ever been asked where you see yourself in five years, and, if so, did you end up where you thought you would? If you wanted to know about someone, what other question might you ask that might be more informative?
