1 Identify your strengths

The first step to breaking out of a career rut is to recognize what you're good at and what you enjoy doing. You may have skills that you take for granted or that you don't use in your current role. Think about the tasks that make you feel confident, energized, and satisfied. Ask for feedback from your colleagues, managers, or mentors. You can also use online tools like skill assessments or personality tests to discover your strengths.

One of the things I did when I was in a career rut is to reflect back on the things that excited me when I was younger. What did I like? What did I have fun doing? Then I started to think through how I could incorporate more of that in my future career. For instance, I was in the theater growing up, loved talking to people, and felt invigorated when creating. Once I reflected, I realized why I hated finance! My extroverted self struggled to sit behind a computer and crunch numbers. I wasn't living in my zone of genius. From there, I started to interview people in various fields that were more in line with my strengths! It helped me uncover that sales and entrepreneurship would be a better fit for me.

An employee will perceive himself to have been stuck in a career rut when he sees no potential growth in his career,when his superiors/employer does not take any effort to boost his motivation & engagement levels, lack of job enrichment, when his knowledge & skills are under utilised in his current role. In such cases the employee can enhance his skills by doing relevant courses that qualify him for promotion to higher roles or transfer to cross functional roles. Develop Leadership skills, management skills, analytical skills, PMP, other technical courses and update the same in official records. Express your interest and readiness to take up higher responsibilities to your superior and highlight how you can add value to the business growth.

No one is ever really stuck long term. Short term absolutely, that can happen. The trick is sometimes going back to the beginning. Practicing mindfulness and gratitude for where you are can center you. The next step is to see where you want to be and then, to remind yourself why you loved your profession to begin with. Sometimes finding the initial spark you had is the trick to igniting the fire to where you want to be. Fire grows with fuel and oxygen. The skills you have are the oxygen, but passion and self worth are the fuel for that fire. You can do it - just be present, and ready to move forward from the present.
