Burn That Sh*t

It’s long overdue.??

You need to unpack the big boulders you’ve been carrying around in your backpack for the last year and LEAVE THEM BEHIND.? Or better yet, do a burning bowl ceremony to kiss 2024 good bye like I did in my kitchen sink.? It’s so much better than setting a new year's resolution.??

Let’s free ourselves from what’s not working so we have the space and energy to do new and better things.? There was a reason they burned the boats.? It wasn’t just to be fully committed.? They didn’t need the d#mn boats anymore, and neither do you.? Leave the things that don’t serve you behind, especially those 2024 job search techniques that were supposed to get you a job.??

If you want to finally land that next right-fit role in 2025, I’ve got just the thing for you.? The leaders I work with leave what doesn’t work, and replace it with what I teach them and find their next opportunity.? I did a lot of reflecting on 2024 and have put together 6 recommendations for you to implement in 2025 to receive the offers you desire.??

Here’s a sneak peak into the most important item on the list.? Why is it the most important?? Because in your work, YOU are the product.? You’re providing a service with your skills, talents, and abilities, and if YOU don’t take care of YOU, then anything else is a waste of time.? You’ll be surprised because it’s not what other coaches tout; the perfect resume or a secret LinkedIn tip.? Your #1 priority in completing a work transition is to make INNER validation & self-care REQUIRED during the emotional job search roller coaster and to be continued once you land.??

While doing these things, remember to embrace a learner’s mindset, utilizing ABC (Always Be Curious) as your main tool.? Start doing:?

??Daily check-ins with your feelings via 5 minutes of journaling 1-2 times a day

??Celebrating 3 wins at the end of each day in an Accomplishment Journal

??Setting boundaries and use the word “no” often in protecting your most valuable assets of time and energy.

I took this picture when I was walking around downtown Chicago as a reminder all living things change just like dragonflies. ?Let this picture be a reminder to give yourself the gift of time and space with INNER validation and self-care.

Lastly, I have a bonus reveal for you, and it’s something you don’t want to hear.? To attain that 2025 goal, you have to get comfortable with the uncomfortable.? For example, I like the cold plunge pool now.? I avoided it like the plague for years.? Now I can be in it for over 15 minutes, because I worked on getting comfortable with it.? I’ve done 14 marathons because I got comfortable with them.? As the saying goes, “Pick your suck.” Soon it won’t suck anymore.? My courageous, introverted clients do this when they implement my posting strategy.? What’s something about your career transition you’ve been avoiding?? Embrace it like it’s your new best friend, and soon you’ll be getting along swimmingly with what you hated AND getting the results that evaded you for so long.

You made it to the end but you still need my other 5 recommendations to lock and load your new role in 2025, so save your spot here for Friday’s 20 minute training as it’s filling up FAST: https://www.dhirubhai.net/events/7282123765059133441
