Indecision is Hurting Your Job Search DCL #71
|
Did you know that indecision is hurting your job search? Let me explain. When you don’t know what you want to do next… Or what role you’d be best suited for… Or how your specific set of skills and experiences will add value.. Or if you want to leave your organization or stay… Everyone can sense your indecision.And, since you aren’t clear, no one will rush to your side to help you achieve your goal. Why? Well, you don’t have any specific goals. All you have is a vague idea that your current career situation isn’t working and you’d like to be doing something else or working somewhere else. This is not a recipe for support. In order for the right opportunity to show up, you have to take the time to learn, ask questions, reflect and get clear on exactly what you want next. This may take some iteration on your part and time before you start a real job search, but it is so worth it. Last week, I guided a client - who works at one of the big name top global tech companies (you probably use their software everyday) - to make an important decision. He decided he wanted to leave and find a new role outside of the org. This was a big decision, precursored by several coaching sessions and networking conversations. Hours after our session, my client texted me with a screenshot of a LinkedIn message. The message was from a hiring manager at a company doing work that my client wanted to get into. The hiring manager wanted to meet my client and talk to him about stepping into a role that was the perfect fit. It’s amazing how the universe aligns as soon as you get clear on what you want. I used to think these types of things were woowoo or just a coincidence, but I’ve seen this happen way too many times to believe that now. Setting an intention creates momentum and then the right people, resources and opportunities will come your way. The key? Take the time to get clear.If you are struggling to gain clarity on what to do next, don’t just “wait to see what happens”.

A few weeks ago, I spoke with a professional who told me she wanted to make another $50,000 in the next two years. On the surface, that seemed straightforward. Like many professionals, she assumed the next step was to pursue a larger role with a bigger compensation package. But as we continued talking, she started to realize that the money wasn't actually the problem. Or at least, it wasn't the only problem. She was exhausted. Her role had expanded to the point where work was consuming most...
In the last email, we talked about the point where your job starts running your life. Where you’re performing.Still delivering.But the intensity doesn’t let up - and your work starts to take over more than it should. For a lot of people, that shows up as a gradual shift: You’re doing everything you’re supposed to be doing.But it’s no longer sustainable.And you’re not enjoying it the way you used to. The next problem most people run into isn’t a lack of options. It’s that they don’t have the...
A client I’m working with is in a senior marketing role at a global bank. "I'm tired," she told me. "My work has taken over my personal life and I'm not sure what to do. I know in my bones that it's time to change jobs, but I don't know to what?" "And I don't want to lose out on the leverage I've built." She’s built her career inside this organization.Grown her scope.Developed into a strong leader. From the outside, everything looks like it’s working. But she’s reached a point where it’s no...
