FEELING STUCK IN YOUR CAREER? HERE'S SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Have you ever thought about changing careers but found yourself paralyzed by overthinking and self-doubt? You’re not alone. Career paralysis can hit anyone at any stage.

Often, we rely on the same thought patterns that got us stuck in the first place to help us move forward. But the key isn’t thinking harder—it’s thinking differently.

💡 How to gain clarity!

Too many options can feel overwhelming, so it’s important to identify clear, objective decision criteria. Ask yourself:

🟠 Why do I work? (Motivations)
🔵 Who do I want to be at work? (Roles)
🟢 Where do I want to work? (Location)
🟡 What kind of work excites me? (Sectors & fields)
🔴 How do I want to work? (Work-life balance & conditions)
🟣 Which organizations align with my values? (Company culture)
⚫ What are my non-negotiables?

🎯 Tip: When your career aligns with your core values, job satisfaction skyrockets!

When our career aligns with our values, we feel more fulfilled. But misalignment in our career, as in any area of our life, can leave us disengaged. Taking the time to define your values and strengths will help you make intentional, confident career decisions.

We are naturally wired to focus on weakness

It’s easy to dwell on what we lack, but becoming fluent in our strengths shifts the focus. Strengths-based coaching isn’t about "fixing" weaknesses—it’s about recognizing what we’re naturally good at and learning how to apply those strengths effectively.
