Lisa Jones
This blog post from "Working With Intentions" outlines the Intentions component of a model developed by Lisa Jones to aid in navigating career transitions, building upon positive psychology principles. It emphasises the importance of self-awareness, gained through understanding one's core values and sense of self, as foundational for setting meaningful intentions.
The author suggests using various tools and exercises, including reflection and creative visualisation, to clarify personal desires and translate them into actionable plans. Jones draws on Self-Determination Theory to highlight the link between intrinsic motivation and valued behaviour, differentiating intentions from strengths.
