If you are looking to change careers in the New Year entrepreneur, best-selling author and activist, Seth M. Siegel shared this advice with Jessica Abo. I’ve put the link to the short video interview below.
How to change careers is a topic I get asked about often. It happens in my recruiting business and when I am coaching people through their person Purpose journey. A career change is not always necessary to pursue your purpose and passion. Many times it just takes clarity and then a refocus of priority and time. There are times, whoever, when a career change might be desirable.
One of the things Seth talks about in the video is when someone feels like they are stuck in a particular job. I’ve been there and I know what that feels like. It is a lifeless, monotonous existence. This is especially true if we feel there is no escape from the job. It’s also a symptom that your time, focus, and priorities are out of sync with your purpose and calling.
