In today’s episode of the ‘Career Change Maker’ podcast, I talk about why you deserve a better role at work so you can stop feeling unhappy.

The reason I am talking about this topic is that sometimes people are in roles where they're not performing to their capacity, which means feeling that they are not operating at 100%, but they could be doing so much more. 

Episode Highlights:

·         02:38 – For someone who is a high achiever and focused on being their best, internally they feel that they need to be doing their best, and need to be operating at a certain level.

·         06:30 - The goal in life is not to attain some imaginary ideal but to fully find and own your gifts.

·         08:50 - The reason why the job role is not fully aligned to you as a person is because you haven't considered yourself in the decisions.

·         11:40 - It takes courage for you to recognize that this is a long game if you think about the length of your career, and how long do you want to be in a position where you're not able to show up fully as yourself.

·         13:30 - I want to encourage you if you are someone who's been saying I need to do something different. You started every year for the last few years saying the same thing, but yet you're still in the same role. I want you to think about what is it?

·         15:55 - The Career Change Making Program formerly known as the Career Clarity Academy is my signature coaching program, which is a transformational coaching experience focused on helping you to develop and advance in your career.

What you will learn:

1.  Oftentimes, people are in roles where they're not performing to their full capacity, but they could be doing so much more. They're settling in roles where they feel they don’t want to be doing this. So you must pay attention to the cause of feeling unhappy at work.
2. When most professionals look upon their ideal role at the beginning that seems to be an ideal role to them. But as they move forward in the role they realize that they don't feel like they are bringing their whole self to work or they feel it is not fully aligned to them. 
3. The reason you feel unhappy is that there's a misalignment between the work that you're doing on a day-to-day basis and who you are as a person. There's a misalignment between what's required of you, and who you are naturally, and when there is that misalignment, then there's tension.
4. Nothing is permanent, things change, you change, value shifts and perspectives change but just because a decision that you made years ago was made, it doesn't mean that you have to stay there. It doesn't mean that you can't transition, and do something different.
