The million-dollar question...
How do we figure out what it is we’re meant to be doing with our lives and careers?
This is the #1 question of almost every client I’ve ever worked with. When I first realized how many people were stuck trying to figure this out, it became my passion and quest to help end their struggle.
Whether we’re seeking to change up our career, create more balance between our profession and personal life, or design something special for our retirement years, here is The Key: every single part of our life matters. It matters a lot. Therefore, if we really want to make changes in significant areas of our life, we need to take a whole-hearted approach.
Long-term career planning is harder than it seems because our goals and desires change over time. In fact, research shows that people from age 18 to 68 underestimate how much they will change in the future. What are the odds that the career we pick in our early twenties will still satisfy us in our 40’s, 50’s or even 60’s?
We are ever-evolving. So rather than staying loyal to a career that is no longer serving us, the trick is to accept the reality of change and move on as soon as possible.
And what is the whole-hearted thing? It simply means being realistic as to how closely the rest of our life is tied to the work that we do. Our relationships, personal life, health and money are directly impacted by our careers.
In general, my clients are trying to figure out the best game plan for their career and overall satisfaction with life. Some are very clear that they are ready for a change. They are looking for help with timing and best choices. Others aren’t quite ready to make that shift, but they want to plan ahead for when they are ready.
And all of my clients, no matter their ultimate decisions, just want to make their lives, relationships, money and health work better for them – with new strategies and practices to put into place.
The good news: once we have clarity about what it is we want for ourselves personally and professionally, we can begin to close the gap between where we are now (our Actual Reality), and where we want to be (our Desired Reality).
This is why the most successful people decide to bring a professional coach along for the journey. Someone who will call them forth into their fullest potential.
If coaching is something you would like to explore, I invite you to set up a 30-minute exploratory call with me. It will give you an opportunity to talk about the questions and issues you’ve been thinking about.
This will also give us a chance to see if we’re a good fit for each other. You can reach out to me via email: diane@dianesansom.com or my mobile number: 541-604-4166. I look forward to our time together
