Moving on - a new working chapter

6/26/2015

 
I was privileged to spend some of my time yesterday working with an individual who is looking to change direction career wise.  We flew through our 2 hour slot and he went away with work to do and thoughts to be had.  I came away feeling revitalised and invigorated by the acknowledgement that I love what I do in my work and that I am a very lucky individual as a result.

Too many of us get locked into career paths which turn out to be dead ends or monotonous or taking us to somewhere we have to wish to be.  Another recent Career Counsellee (is there such a word?) had entered the world of work 'the easy way' by working for his Father.  He realised, some 30 years later, that he absolutely hated what he was doing, that it was making him ill and that he needed to change careers.  Luckily he was able to secure sufficient 'redundancy' funds to give him some time to contemplate where he wanted to be and is now busy with a hotchpotch of jobs which all give him the fulfilment that was so missing from his other job.  Life is what you make it and if you aren't happy with what you are doing ask yourself if you are prepared to continue to suffer or whether the time has come to take action!
