2. How to Figure Out What You Really Want (Spotify / Apple Podcasts)

Figuring out what you really want in your career and in life is one of the most important keys to happiness and fulfillment.

It's so important that it's one of the first things that we address as we work with our clients.

The problem, though, is that many people haven't actually identified what they really want.

Almost everyone knows what they don't want, but that doesn't lead to happiness.

Today, you'll hear:

• How to find what you love to do again (if you've strayed away from it)
• Why you need to identify true strengths and values that lead to your ideal role
• How you can prepare yourself to finally make the jump to your next career move
• What kind of jobs/positions/roles a project manager can move into

Scott addresses all of these today as we share a training we did a couple weeks ago.

Some people can just keep going forever in a job that they no longer find meaningful, but for many people there's an expiration date when it's painful to keep going to work, sitting at your desk and knowing that you're just not that excited about it. But how do you know if you should simply quit your job? Will that be the right move. Aside from the financial aspect, there are many other reasons that this could be the best (or worst decision) of your life.

In this episode with Mike Goodman, we evaluate his journey to decide whether quitting (without a new job yet) was right for him. More importantly, you'll learn 4 questions to ask yourself to know if it makes sense for you to quit (without having another opportunity)

As high performers contemplate making a career change, one of their concerns is with their salary. They believe that if they were to switch careers to something that they actually enjoy that they have to take a pay cut. In reality, what we have seen with the people we work with is that is almost never the case. In fact, there are many times when they get an increase in their salary.

Today, we're sharing a training we did talking about this very subject:
