The Purpose-Driven Career Journey - Newsletter March 2024
On a chilly Monday morning in February, during a barefoot run on the beach, I experienced what Elizabeth Gilbert calls a ‘big magic moment.’
It was a moment of creative intuition - a clear idea dropped into my mind out of nowhere. I felt in every fiber of my being that it was one of those ideas I didn’t want to lose.
Mid-run, with the ocean waves bouncing off my freezing feet, I typed it into my phone - create a Sage Leaders program. Details came in, clear and fast.
Have you ever felt this surge of creative inspiration? In her famous TED talk and book Big Magic, Elizabeth Gilbert described how inspiration comes to her:
“It feels like you’re being inhabited by some idea that is asking you, “Are we going to do this?” And most of our life, we say no. But if you say yes, you enter into a contract with this mysterious force, and that is one of the most interesting things a person can do with their life.”
So I said YESSS let’s do this. I called a few friends for a gut check and they all loved the idea.
As I reflected on what my clients needed help with the most, I noticed a recurring issue: despite their success, many felt unfulfilled because they had grown a lot since starting their last role/path and now felt misaligned.
“I am drawn to other roles that are not in my scope. Even though my work is interesting, I have to force myself to do it,” said a client recently.
“I've climbed the ladder but feel uninspired and am not sure how to grow my career in a different direction,” said another.
If you find yourself lacking motivation, and holding onto a role because of its familiarity and perceived safety, you might be “quietly quitting.”
You force yourself to stay in the role, assuming you can’t change it. You procrastinate and avoid speaking up in meetings. Subconsciously you’re giving up, losing confidence in your potential.
I want you to know that you don't have to stay stuck in the confusion that naturally shows up during career transitions.
Let go of the blame and shame. It takes time to get clear on what to do next.
As a corporate research leader turned executive coach, I understand the stages of career transition. It’s a challenging and transformational journey.
WHERE ARE YOU ON THIS JOURNEY?
You might not be entirely clear about your next career move, but you’re determined to make a change. Maybe you got let go from your role or you’re just over it (Step 2).
Maybe you've made progress in identifying your next role or path but struggle to take action (Step 3).
Or perhaps you've secured your next role but are challenged to stay focused or lead with confidence (Step 4).
The fastest way to expand your skills and realign your career is to surround yourself with people who are also on that journey.
Are you ready to go on this transformative journey with other extraordinary women?
