The Career Change Maker Podcast I Career Change, Career Advancement & Leadership Development # 166: Want To Make More Impact And Have More Satisfaction In Your Career? Do This...
In today’s episode of the ‘Career Change Maker’ podcast, I talk about what you need to be doing if you want to have more impact and satisfaction in your careers.
This topic is important to talk about because there are a lot of people who are feeling dissatisfied right now in their careers, and they need to identify the real problem. So, today I will be discussing the importance of getting to the crux of what the issue is because the reason why you may be experiencing dissatisfaction in your career is that there is a misalignment between your expectation and the reality of what's happening for you.
Episode Highlights:
· 01:25 – I work with a lot of women who come to me and say that they need to make a massive career move but they do not know what to do.
· 04:10 - I think sometimes you may think that this is how I'm going to feel when I reach a certain status.
· 06:20 - While external factors are important, they are not everything that we need because once you land the role, and secure that pay check, then you've got to do the role.
· 08:25 - When you set those expectations, it is so much easier for it to be aligned because the expectations are set in terms of how I like to show up in terms of my previous exposure in the world of work and my understanding of what hasn't worked for me.
· 10:20 - I would encourage you that if you want to be doing something more impactful, and I want to experience more satisfaction in your career then take some time to assess what has been my markers of success so far.
· 12:40 - The groundwork is necessary that so many people just gloss over and then find themselves hoping for the best, or staying in the same role thinking that it gets better.
· 13:20 - I've got a few spots open inside my coaching program - ‘Career Change Maker Program’ for starting in March.
What you will learn:
- When there's a misalignment between expectation, and what happens in reality, that is where dissatisfaction can occur.
- We can often be focused on external factors as a society because that's how we are taught when it comes to developing in your careers is looking at external factors. Those markers that are very much externally determined are the things that can sometimes drive us in terms of our decisions.
- If you're hopping from one role to another, and you're not finding that satisfaction in this current role, hoping that it gets better, either way, there's an opportunity here for reflection. If you want more impact and satisfaction, and you're not finding it so far, then Janine suggests that you approach things differently.
