The Best Way to Escape From Problem Is To Solve It

Watch the video here.

Have you ever been stuck in a career you didn't like?  

I have a client who found herself with that problem - more like several clients. She was in a career that she had invested a lot of time and effort in and it didn't fit anymore. So, she tried all those "improve your work situation" tips. They didn’t work. 

She decided that her solution to being stuck in career that didn't work for her was to make a plan to leave. Her plan started with coaching. She entered coaching feeling badly about herself. She even questioned her competence at work – and she was beyond competent. 

She completed her assessments, learned about herself, examined her values, updated her goals, and explored her options. During the process she re-discovered her amazing self – the one that had been trampled flat in her current career. She decided she wanted to pursue her passion in her next career. 

She's still working her plan. And she finds the path easier because of the work she's done. Her values. Her goals. Her talents and skills. How to combine them to find a fulfilling career.

She's escaping the problem of a career that no longer works for her by solving it.

How can you solve the problem of a dead-end career? First, you could get re-acquainted with your values and goals. Then, take a good look at your talents and skills. Think about how you would like to use them at work - particularly if you don’t get to use them now! Next, brainstorm with somebody about the careers you’ve always wanted – they might even have ideas you’ve never thought of! Finally, research some of those careers (and companies, too) and identify what you steps you can take to escape your problem by moving towards that new career. 

If you’d like some coaching on your escape plan, I’m here for you.
