Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know!
Have you ever wondered why people change careers? Did you have a dream career when you were young? If you did, what happened to that dream?
I always ask my podcast guests what their early career aspirations were when they were a little boy or girl? We’ve had some really interesting answers and for a few of my guests, they actually realised those childhood career dreams.
Interestingly, according to a recent Flex Jobs Survey, only 10% of adults work in their childhood dream career.
How have your dreams and career aspirations changed over the years and where are you now?
- Are you satisfied?
- Do you wake up each morning with a spring in your step, looking forward to all you will accomplish professionally?
- Are you eager to work with your team, in person or remotely?
- Do you admire and/or respect your manager?
- Does your physical work environment make you feel energised and inspired?
Over the past 20 years as a career coach, almost all the clients I’ve worked with have come to me because they have said, ‘No’ to most of those questions above.
And most of them have come to me not because they decided to do something about that situation of their own volition, but because they went through redundancy or had lost their job and had to get professional support.
When I ask how they felt about the redundancy, many have said they’d been unhappy for years however didn’t do anything about it as they were afraid to make a change. Or they didn’t know where to go to get support.
Don’t you think life is too short to be unhappy? Or to feel unfulfilled?
Find out what you MUST DO to make a successful career change and land the job you'll LOVE.
