Do Not Fear Change - Fear Not Changing

When my parents were in the workforce, people retired from the job they held their entire adult life, which was commonplace. You worked in the job, held onto it, and retired. However, with that, came dissatisfaction and people yearned for more. If you asked anyone back then if they were truly happy with their fill, the answer would shock you.
The Quest For Change
Changing jobs and changing careers has become more commonplace. People need change, the new order is for growth and development, it is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity. Without change, no one grows, and growth is inevitable.
The Desire For More
People want more, they desire more and they need more, they are no longer happy being stuck going around in circles and feeling empty. There are many reasons for this, including quality of life at work and in their personal life, achievements, goals and the environment.
Here’s the sticking point; people fear change, people do not want to take action, because it is uncomfortable. Have you heard about the turtle? There comes a time that living in its shell becomes uncomfortable and it is stifled. In order to grow, it must shed its shell and develop a new one that it can fill with new growth. You need to be a turtle.
The question is, how do you successfully make these changes? Getting an outside perspective and guidance on how to make these changes provides an advantage that going alone does not. Today, more than ever, people need help finding new jobs, new careers, or to deal with the new challenges (and opportunities) they encounter at work every day.
If you are contemplating a change or have recently transitioned into a new job/career and are not feeling that you are having the success you would have anticipated, contact me for a complimentary discovery call. Let’s develop a new shell, after all, you’re really just a turtle looking for a change.

5 年Highly recommend setting up a discovery call with Helene S. Meyers, MA, CTA Certified, SHRM-SCP , if you are seeking to bring a new vision in your professional life or find yourself navigating a challenging terrain.... We can all benefit in seeking help from a trusted and responsive career coach. I have known and have worked with Helene in the past. I have also sought her counsel on many occasions before I started to hold more frequent visits with Helene, conversations to identify more clearly my strong internal calling and to be able to apply those insights specifically. Her sessions are not just tailored to fashion a new career path but one that capitalizes on my natural talents and passion.
