Abstract
Education and training can only account for so much of the longevity of someone’s career. Who you are and who you know matters in the development of self, mission and career pursuits. Establishing a personal identity can help you pursue the relationships that you wish to be defined by. The creation and maintenance of those authentic relationships and networks will impact your professional identity over time, as who you surround yourself with will be how you are perceived to others. This paper explores the aforementioned concepts by looking at the impact of intentionality of knowing one’s self, building meaningful relationships and understanding the impact relationships have on career discernment. These themes and topic areas connect to the Jesuit concepts of discernment and cura personalis [care of the whole person].
