Job Skills: Don't Do What You CAN Do, Do What You WANT To Do

Job Skills: Don't Do What You CAN Do, Do What You WANT To Do

Many people who are trying to figure out what they want to do with their careers - want to DO IT NOW! They want to skip really important steps because they want to just figure it out right now. However they have some steps that they need to follow. I believe it every single person should start with some of the BIG “life questions” like “Why do I work?”, “What is Meaningful to me?” you know, “How do I want to be in the world?” You should start here, but there a lot of people that are just not even wanting to do those questions - they want to skip ahead. So, the next thing that they get to is “Okay, I'm going to write out a list of all of the things that I can do.” Then they write out a list of skills that they can do and they start looking at jobs that line up with the skill sets they have. That's actually the wrong way to go about it…

Do Your Thing, Your Way Because You Gotta Be You

Do Your Thing, Your Way Because You Gotta Be You

Do your thing in your way because you gotta be you.

To succeed at anything, but especially your career, you have to lean into your youness - be the most you - and do the thing in your own way. There will always be someone who wants the same things in life as you - but nobody can or will do it like you.


Your Job is Too Much of A Safe Place

Your Job is Too Much of A Safe Place

Are you bored at work? Has it been a long time since you’ve actually been challenged on the job? There’s a reason. Sometimes you can be too comfy.

I'm not actually talking snuggies, yoga pants and comfy sox. Those things are awesome. I'm talking about feeling totally, yes too, comfortable in your career.

The 'devil you know' comfort is born out of fear. You stay where you are, doing what you're doing, because of fear of the unknown. Where you are might be crappy - but at least you know what kind of crap to expect... right?

Unless there's something on your horizon that gives your stomach the jitters and freaks you out just a bit... something that pushes you out of your comfort zone... you will always be *exactly* right where you are. That's fine... right?

There is a time and space that you get to where you know it’s time to leave your job but you also know that it's a safe place and the devil you know is better than whatever freaky, hypothetical, scaries are out there in the world.
