#47: 4 Guaranteed Ways To Clarify What You Want Next In Your Career
Going round and round in circles trying to figure out what you want next in your career?
Today, I’m talking about how I moved from overthinking to clarity — and now support my clients to do the same in their careers.
There’s a common mistake I see high-achievers make when they’re at a career crossroads. It’s one which is keeping them stuck — and something I did too…
Back in 2017, I was feeling unfulfilled in my decade long recruitment career and burnt out in my business. At the time, I remember agonising over what I wanted to do next for months.
Like so many of us, I spent hours going down the Google rabbit hole, hoping my dream career path would magically jump out at me!
But here’s the thing: trying to THINK my way to a solution kept me stuck in analysis paralysis. And yes, I know it sounds counterintuitive — especially when you’re logical and strategic. Yet trying to think your way to clarity is exactly what keeps you stuck.
So what helped me find clarity?
It was taking action –– by following my curiosity and finding practical ways to explore different career paths.
