It is often shaped by the uncertainties and challenges we face than by hard facts.

As an Executive Leadership & Career Coach, I frequently encounter questions rooted in procrastination.

Questions that often reflect deeper concerns about career progression and personal growth.

Ok.

So here are the top four common question that indicate your mind is procrastinating and not thinking.

?And how to mentally address them.

Career-blocking Question 1: When is the right time to change my career?

This question echoes the fear of making a wrong decision.

the right time is less about perfect conditions.

?and more about when you're mentally prepared to embrace change.

Recognize that growth often requires stepping out of comfort zones.

??So the next time you feel uncomfortable and afraid to do something,

know that you are on the right path!

Career-blocking Question 2:How can I be sure I'm choosing the right career path?"

The pursuit of a “perfect” career path can lead to endless waiting.

Clarity often comes from action, not contemplation.

Rather than waiting for a clear sign, engage in proactive exploration.

Remember, career paths are rarely linear;?

they're a series of informed experiments and adjustments.

??So the next time you hesitate, tell yourself “I can only know when I get started”

and embrace starting BEFORE you’re ready!

Career-blocking Question 3: Do I have the necessary skills and qualifications for a career advancement or change?

?Doubting one's skills and qualifications is a common form of self-imposed procrastination.

It's crucial to assess yourself realistically, acknowledging both strengths and areas for development.

Focus on continuous learning and be open to opportunities for upskilling.

??So, the next time a recruiter points out that you ‘do not have a certain skill or experience,

respond that you have something even better than that:: “An unwavering desire to learn it!”?

Career-blocking Question 4: Should I wait for a better opportunity or take the one available now?

In a rapidly evolving job market, waiting for the 'perfect' opportunity can lead to missed chances.

Evaluate opportunities not just on immediate benefits but on potential for learning and growth.

Sometimes, the best opportunities are those that challenge us to learn and adapt.

??So, the next time you have 65% qualification for that job you so desire to have, do not hesitate to apply!

As career coaches, our role is to guide individuals in overcoming procrastination through effective strategies.

This includes fostering a mindset geared towards continuous self-assessment, market research, skill development, and realistic goal setting.

Remember, progress, no matter how small, is still progress.

It's about taking informed steps, learning from experiences, and steadily moving towards your career aspirations.??
