When talented professionals are feeling stuck or are at a career crossroads, it’s pretty normal for them to express a sentiment along the lines of:

I wish a fortune teller could give me an answer
I need a test that will solve things for me
Can you just tell me the right path?

It’s painful to know you have gifts and a desire to make a contribution and to not know where to apply yourself. This situation creates pent-up energy and a feeling of major frustration.

No wonder so many people want their career direction to be resolved ASAP!

There are 3 reasons why our desire for this quick resolution backfires in the long run.

1. Loss of Internal Power
2. The Answer is Only Part of the Solution
3. Career Placement Tests are Unvalidated Instruments

Did you know that your brain is biased towards the status quo in your career?

Even if "here " is miserable, here feels familiar. Here appears to be safe. "There" may not be.

Here are 3 ways your mind tries to protect you from going There.

1. Analysis paralysis.

2. Fear.

3. Doubts.

Remember:

When these things get in your way, your brain is just doing it's job. It's trying to keep you safe.

Thank it.

Provide reassurance that exploration is safe. For example, conducting an informational interview is unlikely to cause any harm.

Keep exploring what's out There for you.
