Preparation
This questionnaire is the first step to planning your future career.
As people approach the later stages of their careers they have a wonderful opportunity to create an
exciting and rewarding future. For this to work you need to be clear about what you want and to
invest time and effort into longer term planning. We refer to this as your next stage – which is looking at when you have probably finished full time ‘working life’. This may be imminent for you or some years off still. The earlier you start thinking/planning, the more likely you are to create a purposeful future for yourself.
Please take time to answer this questionnaire. It will remain confidential between us. You will be sent a summary of your answers, which will form the first stage of your plan. You can read our privacy policy here Privacy Policy – Next-Up

Imagine yourself in 15 years’ time. Is there a dream or project you have in your mind that you would like to
have achieved by then? Think widely, it could be anything from climbing Mount Everest, becoming a public
speaker, building your own home or writing a book. You may want a ‘gap’ year.
This question is just about your dreams or wishes – not what you think you have to do. If you don’t have
any, that is fine – we are here to help you find or create them
Have you spotted a problem or issue that interests you and you could help? Eg a client problem; someone in your family with health issues; streaming services; creating a new product or service or leveraging an overseas trend that could work in your region
