Our careers are important to us and should leave us with a deep sense of satisfaction and joy. Our jobs often connect to our identities—our sense of purpose—our sense of belonging—our sense of camaraderie. Some of us stop feeling productive at work, or feel stuck, and are thinking about starting over someplace else. Many of us have suffered the sudden impact of the loss of our jobs—or are quickly approaching retirement and don’t know what to do.

Are you feeling dread, distress, low self-esteem, lack of motivation, sadness, or confusion about your career?

POP QUIZ:

  • Have you become cynical or critical at work?
  • Have you had negative employment evaluations?
  • Do you drag yourself to work?
  • Do you have trouble getting started at work once you arrive?
  • Have you become irritable or impatient with co-workers, customers, or clients?
  • Do you lack the energy or drive to be consistently productive?
  • Do you lack satisfaction from your achievements?
  • Do you feel disillusioned about your job?
  • Are you using food, drugs, or alcohol to feel better—or to NOT feel?
  • Have your sleep habits changed?
  • Has your appetite changed?
  • Are you troubled by unexplained headaches, backaches, or other physical issues?
  • Did you once see your job as a stepping-stone for advancement—and you no longer feel that way?
  • Have you made a “Pros and Cons” list about staying or leaving your job?
  • Do you dream about doing something different?
  • Do you feel like going back to school or re-inventing yourself?

If you are feeling discontent in your current employment, have voluntarily left your job—or are forced to find a new career because of circumstances—let’s work together and identify what your career aspirations are. Maybe you’d like to develop self-confidence to optimize—or change—your current career. Or perhaps you’d like to pinpoint obstacles that are negatively affecting your job. Let’s identify goals that would enhance your work life, help you achieve balance, and incorporate meaning in your work.

Let’s explore what your strengths are and find that career that you would love to do—and get paid for doing it!
