The post 52 Insights to Help You Find Career Fulfillment appeared first on Jay Izso.

Here are some career questions you need to think about:

Does your job offer you a sense of purpose?

It is going to be an eye-opening show and if you have any doubts about your career right now, first know you are not alone, and second, know that there are answers.

Chris Fontanella’s most recent book entitled, “Tune Up Your Career” is an outstanding insightful guide for those of you out there who are feeling stuck and unsure what your next career move should be.

Here are a few of the highlights should know from the book:

Second, regardless of how you try to resist your career is going to change.  And if all else stays the same…you are going to change.

Third, if you are lacking fulfillment and purpose, you are the only one who can change your career path.  No excuses…you are accountable to your career.

Fourth, if you have guts, and resilience, you may be an entrepreneur.  It’s not easy.  And you may have to work two jobs at first, but how much value is there in having the freedom?  Only you can decide.

This book is for anyone who feels like they have been consumed by the “machine” and has now awakened to realize there is something more, but not sure what it is.

Chris Fontanella then uses the analogy of finding your career to that of an archaeology discovery.  The fact is it is going to take some digging to find your calling.  And that is the point of the book.

Finding your calling or purpose will require you to make a map, have ambition, overcome obstacles, deal with the mundane, have perseverance as well as other tips.

It is an excellent read for anyone who is starting their career, or is stuck looking for their next career.  I highly recommend Jump-Start Your Career, make sure you get yourself a copy or give one to a friend who is looking.

When it comes to your job and career are you happy? Do you enjoy it? Is it fulfilling? Do you know why? Do you know how to change it? Next question…when it comes to your work how do you define success? Based on your definition of success are you successful? Do you feel like you have hit your max in your career?

At the end of the day your career is a game. The problem is you don’t know the rules. And the rules are not printed in a book or a pamphlet. They are unwritten, and in fact there are so many rules you may be overlooking most of them. Thankfully for you Career Coach and Expert Terry Boyle McDougall returns on this episode of A New Direction to tell you the rules of the game of work and help you find the work that you will enjoy and be more successful.

The post Breaking the Myths that Keep You Stuck in Your Career – Terry McDougall appeared first on Jay Izso.

Let’s be honest there are many people that are in careers and jobs they hate. They are stuck because they feel like they cannot get out. The amount of money the make keeps them locked in and manipulated to stay in a job that they dread. Is there a way out? Can you really find a job and career that you love? Do you have to play the game of climbing the corporate ladder to really get ahead. The answer is “no”. There is another way. And on this episode of A New Direction Dr. Alan Patterson returns to talk about the 5 critical steps to finding that career that fits who you are.

Dr. Patterson’s book is entitled “Burn Ladders. Build Bridges.: Pursuing Work with Meaning + Purpose“.  This book is a short no nonsense book that will help you get out of the career that you hate and dread, and find and create the fits you.  Burn Ladders, Build Bridges is not some short cut method.  It starts with you taking responsibility for your attitude effort, and resiliency.

Who doesn’t like a really great underdog story? We all do! And former CEO of PRC-Desoto Ted Clark inspires us with his story on this episode of A New Direction. No MBA.  In fact, Ted did not have a degree.  As his story goes at 19 he started as a “shipping clerk”…and in 22 years he worked his way up to becoming the CEO and President of a major corporation.  Then he did it again, and then he started his own corporation and grew into a global publicly traded company! How? you may ask. And that is the power of Ted’s story. His will, his curiosity, his perseverance, and more. He provides you with the practical tools that literally any one of us can do, if you are willing to do them. And the fact is the only person who is stopping you from doing them right now…is YOU! From knowing your “WHY” to “Leading with Purpose”, Ted delivers an inspiring message for us all.

Ted Clark‘s book “Shipping Clerk to CEO: The Power of Curiosity, Will and Self Directed Learning”  Is a powerful, practical bluprint for success at any level in any business.  Ted Clark delivers an inspiring message with his practical steps that if you will take the initiative, create some better habits, and have a desire to aspire and achieve you will move up in whatever company you are in, from whatever position you are in.  The book is not a long read, but it is filled with so much powerful and useful information, that it is perfect for the high school student to the late in life person ready to make a career change.  “Shipping Cleark to CEO” by Ted Clark is a must read in my opinion.

Whether you are a recent graduate or a have been working in your career for decades we all come face to face with a couple of questions:  “Am I really doing the work in my career that has meaning and purpose? And is this the career I really want to spend my life doing?”  Why is it that the world looks badly at us when we say “But this is not the career I want?” or “This isn’t the career I thought it would be?”  Somehow it is like we are forced to stay in our jobs or careers that we don’t like because we made a decision or got a major and now like eating old boiled okra we must sit and eat it!!  Why?  And that is exactly what Dr. Alan Patterson challenges in this episode of A New Direction.

Dr. Alan Patterson’s book is entitled “Burn Ladders, Build Bridges“.  The ladder we are burning is the corporate ladder that really has nothing to do with merit or hard work.  The bridges are building are the relationships with others and ourselves.  But as we find out in this episode Dr. Patterson walks us through the 5 Pillars to help us find the job we always wanted.  He takes through

Here is the best part, it can start with your job right now.  It doesn’t mean you hijack your job, but you can start creating the job you want if you know what you are looking for.  Dr. Patterson and “Burn Ladders, Build Bridges” is eye-opening for sure!

When it comes to our jobs often we feel powerless.  Sometimes this occurs because when we work for someone else we believe that we do not have any control over our job.  Then there are those who feel stuck in their job, they feel as if they cannot move up or go anywhere.  They blame their boss, blame the management, ,blame the ownership, they blame others in general for their lack of motivation or the reason they are in the place they are.  The fact is if you feel this way you have lost control of your job.  If you want to truly be successful and achieve greater things then you need to “Own Your Job”  and that is what Dr. Michael Colburn will teach you on this episode of A New Direction, and how to take the power back in your job and own it.

Dr. Colburn, has spent his career working with organization leaders to implement learning and change to improve performance for both the organization and the individual, and that includes you.  Dr. Colburn’s book “Own Your Job: Five Tools For Self-Management and Accountability”  is a book that can and will change you and your job if you apply the principles.  It will start you on the journey to understand that you have the power to control your job, control your future, stop blaming, stop complaining, and start growing.    Get your copy of “Own Your Job” by clicking HERE!

Most of your life you are going to be in a career.  So how many classes through out your life time did you take that truly helped you?  Well, if you are like most of us the answer is…zero.  When it comes to our career there is little to help us.  No one really talks about making a “career plan”, or the difference between “leadership and management” and how to navigate those waters, or how to do really good “Networking” versus doing really bad networking.  What about working in a corporate environment are you ready for corporate politics?  Well thankfully for all of us MIT Instructor and graduate Mark Herschberg is with us on A New Direction to help you navigate these questions and more.

Mark Herschberg‘s book is entitled “The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You” is the exact same information from his MIT college course on preparing for a career.  The Career Toolkit is the most comprehensive, complete and practical guide to starting a career, changing a career, and finding a career.  If you know a college student, or someone who is looking to change their career, you need to tell them to purchase “The Career Toolkit“.  They will thank you for recommending it.

The post Career Skills You Were Never Taught – The Career Toolkit – Mark Herschberg appeared first on Jay Izso.

Here are the facts we are in a revolution where artificial intelligence (AI), digital spaces, and technology are speedily influencing our world.  So much so that even a seemingly sound career is being affected dramatically.  In many cases jobs and careers that were done by humans have been replaced by computers.  We are also seeing that many positions salaries have decreased as machines replace humans.  What do we do?  For some people there is denial, they simply do not believe it is possible for them to lose their career to a computer.  For some they believe that the answer is to become a “social media influencer”, but the ugly truth is that you cannot even buy a Starbucks coffee with your vast number of followers, or the number of likes from our social media posts.  And then there are some who, and perhaps rightful so are in fear and are stuck not knowing what to do.  In this episode of A New Direction we are joined by tech transition expert Somi Arian, and she is going to help you navigate the waters of success in your career in this ever fast changing AI digital tech revolution.

Somi Arian‘s book is entitled “Career Fear: And How to Beat It – Get the Perspective, Mindset and Skills You Need to Futureproof your Work Life”.  In Somi’s outstanding book she provides perspectives solidified by research to get you to critically think how you can first survive this technological surge and then how to thrive.  Rather than be in denial, try something futile, or simply live in fear, she offers some practical mindset and behavioral actions that you can take to start right now preparing for the changes that are inevitable.  As you listen to this show, you will be surprised how this millennial will challenge you, coax you, and encourage you that there truly is hope, but it is fully up to you to start making those changes.  This is a powerhouse show, with a powerful message not only for your career, but also for your life.
