Happen To Your Career - Meaningful Work, Career Change, Career Design, & Job Search

How do you know when you’ve made the right decision about your career. Because honestly sometimes it’s pretty difficult, what if you think you know what you want, only you make the change then it doesn’t work out. I got to talk to someone today who’s been down that.

Louise is a Brit who relocated to Australia and now she has a job she loves but before it was not great for years. The only problem was that it wasn’t the success she wanted. So she changed jobs, then did it again. Turns out it didn

You know that really popular question that you see all over the internet that goes something like “what would you be doing if you didn’t have to worry about money?” The whole point of these questions are to try to help you figure out how to spend your time or what you should do for work.

But we also realize that the things like your hobbies like golfing or scrapbooking or reading the Harry Potter series for the 3rd time might not be viable options for your career.

OR are they?

My friend Linnea described her “epiphany moment” to me the other day.

She said she’d been binge-listening to our podcast. She kept hearing story after story of people finding their way to career happiness. Linnea listened to these stories on her commute to work, on the treadmill at the gym, and while she cooked dinner at night. She was hooked.

But Linnea didn’t launch into action for herself until she re-listened to an episode called How to Confidently Land Your Dream Job.

So, we all know how the career change process works, right?

The problem is that it doesn’t always work the way you think.

In fact, our guest today worked hard to find a great role within her organization. After networking internally, she was finally got the job offer - but then she turned it down.

What?

It might not make sense now, but turning down that offer was one of the best things she did to advance her career.

Do you have trouble defining yourself or what you do? How about breaking down what it is that your strengths really are? Are you an introvert and struggle sharing your accomplishments with others?

Today, I get to share a conversation I had with Elizabeth, one of our coaching clients, as she navigated these same questions. We also explore what she enjoys most about what she does and why she likes it. We also talk about the importance of playing the long game when it comes to building relationships.

What if you were stuck in your job. Not because you couldn’t leave and not because it was a “terrible” situation because you just didn’t know what else you’d do instead. 

Kristy Wenz started a company a while back, and at first it was awesome! Then one day she found she was hitting the snooze button and she’d never done that in her entire life. She knew she’d need to leave, but seriously what else would she do, if not this then what? That’s where we got the opportunity to meet her.

If you want career happiness, you have to identify the specifics of what you want before focusing on the tactics.

Today, I want to show you some examples of how it's happened for the 2000+ people that we've worked with. These are people that have worked at lots of organizations. We've helped them make transitions. So organizations that you've heard of, like the Googles and Amazons and eBay's of the world, but also many other organizations that you've never heard of. So let's jump into this training.

Self development is one of the most important aspects within a career change journey. The more we learn about ourselves, the more likely we are to actually find a career that fits. In this conversation with best-selling author Gretchen Rubin, she explains the personality framework in her new book "The Four Tendencies," and how to navigate a career change according to your tendency.

What you'll learn

• How to figure out which of the four tendencies you are
• What is likely holding each tendency back from making a career change
• How to find a career that fits your tendency
