Here’s the thing. Work/Life Balance isn’t a good idea because:
Time and energy and where you spend them are intensely personal, It perpetuates the idea that you life has two parts Work and… Life. That’s it., Focusing on balancing these two concepts means that Work is 50% of your time!! , While the concept was revolutionary years ago, things have changed. For many, the pandemic taught us that work is not and should not be the bulk of our lives.

Like many others in career/executive coaching, I stopped using assessments, tests and quizzes.
You may think you already know why I don't like using assessments anymore, but this post will take you through 5 reasons why I switched away from it.

It's enough to make anyone feel frustrated.
If you’re a person who works for a living who wants to be happier and make more money, you, my good human, are in the right place.
Before I discovered career coaching, I struggled with knowing where to even start looking for a job that I would enjoy, that also paid my bills (something that teaching was not doing at the time).
