Throughout our adult lives, most of us change jobs or careers even up to five or six times - and usually, the reason behind it is because we either feel we’re stagnant and there’s nothing left for us to do there, or we’ve hit a wall. In both cases, we’re avoiding the things that make work not fun anymore.

So what are the things that make you feel you’re not enjoying your job as much as you did at the beginning? Could it be a decision you have to make but you’re avoiding it? Or maybe a tough conversation that’s been sitting on your plate for quite some time, but you’re postponing it because it’s uncomfortable?

Getting to the bottom of the real problem that’s causing you to think of a different career path or a change in the companies you work for should be at the forefront of your focus, and today, we’re going to help you figure it out!

In this episode, I am joined by my brother, Tyler Hoopes, who is a leader with Sunstone Healthcare and has led healthcare teams both large and small for over 15 years. His current role gives him a ton of opportunities to help mentor executive directors and leaders and to help them create successful operations and to also have happy employees and top performance in their nursing homes facilities. Together, we discuss the top reasons you are not enjoying work anymore, and some solutions we’ve found throughout our careers, that bring back that spark you had when you first started.
