Cardy Career Coaching

Cardy Career Coaching Jane is a highly creative, capable leader at one of the lowest points of her life. Things look good from the outside, but inside something is off.

We help capable professionals who are stuck at a career crossroads gain clarity about their career direction through our Signature Career CLARITY Coaching Programs. I write to Jane each week through this newsletter. There are shades of Jane in lots of us. https://www.cardycareercoaching.com/dear-jane-sign-up/

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

Life is Changed Despite Fatigue

I was exhausted constantly and sick all the time. The coaching work gave me confidence and clear sightedness to say, “This is what I want, and I can do it.” It was completely life changing. I changed my whole life. I left my job and did what I wanted to do. Our work was so incredibly helpful. I moved through a lot of stuff.

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.
