Who's driving your career?
|
If you’re not driving your career, someone else is. Maybe you’re progressing in a career path you no longer enjoy… and it only gets harder to leave the more money you make. Maybe you’re the best team player who everyone raves about… but you’re left feeling taken advantage of on the regular. Maybe you’ve been coasting lately. Work is a drag but you’ll ignore it for now…. maybe it’ll get better. These situations may be fine for a little while. But at some point you realize… This car(eer) isn’t taking me where I want to go. And if it’s not fueling my life, it’s holding me back from my potential. Turns out as low as 22% of professionals are satisfied with their job in 2024. American happiness with their personal lives is at a 10-year low as well. I have to imagine they’re heavily related. Don’t let yourself stay part of these statistics. If you don’t like the direction the car is going, grab the wheel and turn it around. If you aren’t sure where to go, lay off the gas. If you just keep driving, you’ll run out of fuel far from where you want to be. Good news though — you can ask for help. Pull over to the side, find someone who’s been this way before. Get some direction on where to go next. Most people don’t stay in the same job for 40 years anymore. Many have made pivots or adjustments when they decide to start prioritizing themselves over what everyone else wants for them. They begin to define success on their terms. There are endless options for what you can do (thank you internet). With clarity, focused effort, and the right support, you can reinvent yourself at any point. Use these second act careers for inspiration. Growth isn’t linear. In fact, leaning into exploration and following your intuitive nudges leads to the most fulfilling, purpose-filled lives. It totally has for me. This is why I love working with my coaching clients who are excited about better understanding themselves, getting clear on what they want, and mapping out a plan to get there together. I help them refuel along the way and stay on course. As a result, the drive to what’s next is a much more enjoyable ride.
P.S. Here's a pic of little me already in the driver's seat :) |

Welcome back to my weekly newsletter where I help generalists like you build your career by design and navigate big transitions with clarity and confidence ✨ If you've been forwarded this, subscribe here I hear the same question at least 3x every week in different forms: “What jobs do you think I could be a fit for based on my background?” “I want to pivot into Product, is that even possible?” “Do I need to get an MBA first?” Behind each of these questions is a deeper one that we’re actually...
I was sitting at my laptop, reflecting on how the holiday season always marks the end of another year, when I caught myself doing something high achievers do all the time: Focusing on where I fell short while completely overlooking how far I've come. Like my client who landed the $150K role she'd been gunning for, only to immediately start worrying about if she was really ready for it. When you're in the messy middle of working toward your next career goal — that time in between where you are...
If you're anything like me, you have trouble slowing down to rest sometimes. Turns out it's just as easy to be "always on" when you love the work you do as when you have a needy boss sending 9PM pings... The job search is no different. At any given time during a career transition, you have a million thoughts going through your head: Where are all the good opportunities? Wait, what do I even want next? And how do I tell my story? Who do I need to network with? What's the best message to send...
