Frustration leads to inertia and anger and can derail your career.  As a Career & Leadership Coach, clients share their frustrations with me daily and I'm here today to let you know you aren't alone in feeling frustrated... and that there is plenty you can do to regain control.

In today's episode, I am exploring 7 of the most common FRUSTRATIONS clients come to me with surrounding their careers.

We are talking about:

1. Not getting ahead, despite achieving great results (and working so hard)
2. Not making the impact you want to (either down to a lack of support or resource; or lacking purpose etc)
3. A Values Mismatch between you and other people, or you and your organisation
4. Constantly changing goal posts and KPIs
5. Miscommunication (or just poor communication)
6. Lacking visibility and a platform
7. Not backing yourself, doubt, and frustration at your own lack of perceived progress

Something Rebecca said today:

" Frustration really comes from a feeling of helplessness: feeling as if making things happen, or creating change, are just beyond your control. In this place, you're imagining a positive outcome that just isn’t forthcoming - certainly not fast enough to meet your expectations. And that frustration intensifies the longer you remain stuck right? Regaining control and getting unstuck needs to be your first priority but how do you do that?“ (Rebecca Allen, host - Her Ambitious Career Podcast)
