At some point in our careers, fear holds us from making the impact we want. But when you do the hard work, the work where you gain clarity about who you are and what you do, you begin to unlock your secret to increasing your job satisfaction and finding that career happiness you’ve been wanting. Mid-career professionals often face various situations and circumstances that may block them from making the kinds of moves they want.

By its definition, resiliency is the ability to recover quickly from difficulties. It is also about being able to bounce back from setbacks and challenges that are derailing your progress. Your resiliency reflects your mindset for dealing with the detours, roadblocks, and bumps as you navigate your career. You are either the victim, the fighter, the rationalizer, the caregiver, or the opportunist for your career  - and more than likely – you are all of them at some point. 

In this episode, I will help you explore your thinking to determine when you are resilient and when you are holding back from going after your dreams and goals. I’ll share my career lessons and why not getting my dream job on the first go-around was one of the best things to happen to me. I’ll help you set realistic expectations for your job search at a time when mid-career is filled with many more responsibilities than when you were younger. And, I’ll show you how your brain is either helping you create the results you want in your career or not. 

There is no magic formula to help you get your next job. Different things work for different people. However, being resilient is a choice. It’s time to take your lessons learned, put your foot on the gas and let’s get to whatever is next for your career. 

Key Topics & Time Stamps: 

·      Celebrating Episode 20 (0:42)

·      Resilience is a Mindset. What’s Going on in Your Brain? (3:26)

Practicing gratitude for your career goes far beyond being thankful you got paid. Creating a gratitude practice for what you do is one thing, but how grateful are you for the professional you’ve become, and you are today? You can’t overlook this critical concept in creating your career GPS or growth plan. Without gratitude, you can’t explore those events that have unquestionably transformed and shaped your career. 

In this episode, John walks you through his process for practicing gratitude and why he strongly believes you are missing out if you aren’t focusing on how grateful you are for your career. Additionally, John shares the very non-linear career path that got him to where he is today, including being “let go” and how being grateful helped him tell his story more authentically and genuinely whenever he has the chance. 

After listening to this episode, you’ll walk aware with a plan to increase your awareness around your career gratitude even when you are beyond frustrated that you aren’t getting the results you want.  

Key Topics & Time Stamps: 

·      John’s Messy and Non-Linear Career Path (4:40)

·      What Suze Orman Taught Me About Gratitude (15:30)

·      Choosing to Be Bitter or Grateful (19:02)

·      Benefits of Being Grateful (21:28)

·      Increasing Your Gratitude By Saying “Thank You” and Mean It (23:39)
