Summary
Have you been considering a career change? Sometimes, the first, hardest step is getting clear about what it is that you want to do. But even with that clarity, there can be other obstacles that need to be worked through before you can find a career that you love. Questions like:
- Should I go back to school?
- How will changing careers impact my family?
- What career is congruent with who I really am?
- What am I really good at? (And can I get paid for that?)
- Should I take a leap, or should I make an incremental change?
- Should I just focus on improving the career I'm currently in?
How — Or If — To Change Careers
Today on this episode of the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast I have the great pleasure of speaking with a master career coach, an executive coach, and a life coach. She's sharing her wisdom and experience to help you figure out if it's time to make a career change, and if so, find your ideal career and transition into a job you love.
Today, we're talking about:
- How to figure out if you're having "escape fantasies" and if so, how to avoid making mistakes in your career.
- The myth of the perfect career, vs what a realistic "career experience" should be.
- Escape fantasies vs making slight shifts
- Differences around career changes between men and women
- The utility of taking a career assessment test, or career placement test
- How to use your dark emotions to illuminate your career truth
- How to manage career challenges unique to different stages of life
No matter if you're a recent graduate looking to get clarity about what you want to do with your life, if you're in an established career that you're feeling dissatisfied and discouraged with, or if you're getting back into the workforce after taking a break, you'll definitely want to hear this great career advice.
xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
