With the summer in full swing, it’s easy to find yourself daydreaming about where you would rather be. Do you see yourself on a sunny beach, digging your toes into the sand? Or perhaps hosting a barbecue in the backyard? Most likely, these daydreams have nothing to do with your job, but are rather an escape from it.

At Cheetah Learning, we believe in daydreaming—and we believe that you shouldn’t limit your happiness to just a few weeks (or days) of vacation a year. Take a few minutes to daydream about your ideal work environment. Although we may never find that “perfect” job or workplace, it is valuable to know what our ideal is. From there, we can better evaluate what matters most to us when weighing new opportunities.

Our Certified Project Manager Program includes several activities in which participants explore their ideal professional environment. Drawing from one of these, the idea is to let your imagination roam free. All elements of the “work environment,” even those that seem out of your control, can be open to reinterpretation. This is not an interview with a potential employer, so give the answers that are best for you.
