Break free from the hidden pressures holding you back...

Feeling stuck in your career? You're not alone, and endless scrolling on LinkedIn might not help. Here's what can: ⏸ Take a Break: Spend less time on LinkedIn. Your own answers are waiting to be found, not on a screen but within you. 🗣 Talk to People: Chat with friends or colleagues. You'll see everyone's figuring things out, just like you. 🌳 Go Outside: Leave the desk and go for a walk or bike ride. It's amazing what fresh air can do for your thoughts. These aren't quick fixes, but they're steps towards feeling more in control and less confused about your job situation.

This morning, an incident stirred a deep self-reflection. I was watching a guy walking his dog, occasionally sipping from a can of cider. My mind automatically went to "He must be an alcoholic." But why was I so quick to judge? 🤷 On reflection afterwards, I realised I knew NOTHING about this man's life. Perhaps he had just finished a night shift. Maybe he was grappling with devastating news. Or, he might just like a morning cider. This brought another thought: judgement. His action – drinking in the morning – isn't the societal norm, prompting my immediate conclusion. It’s human to lean on societal norms and heuristics to navigate daily complexities. But these shortcuts aren't FACTS, and misinterpretation can be easy.

Navigating through the fog of career discontent can be tricky, especially when it's hard to put your finger on what's wrong. 🌫️ You're not alone; many find it challenging to articulate this feeling, let alone bring it up in a 1-1 with a manager. The risk? Potentially throwing it all away. That's where my coaching comes in. I specialise in helping you drill down into these feelings, to uncover and address the real issues at play. Let's clear away the fog together and find a path to a career you love. Don’t let the silence of discomfort be your career’s background noise.
