How to be a happy fish
When you’re in a job that’s just not right for you, it’s darn uncomfortable. The crazy thing is that most of us become used to the discomfort until one day we wake up and we just can’t take any more.
Have you ever thought: “I want to change jobs but I’ve got no idea what to do next?” It’s really common and can be overwhelming.
When you’re tired / stressed from work it’s impossible to think creatively and confidently about where else you could apply your talents. It’s easy enough to recognise when you need to change jobs.
What’s tough is figuring out the first step: “What can I do now – in the next 30 mins – to start to make this happen?” And most importantly, “How do I make sure I end up in the role that is right for me?”
The good news is there is a way to figure this stuff out that ensures you end up in the role that is right for you – one that aligns with your unique talent (everyone has one). It’s achieved through a ‘strengths‑based’ approach. Strengths are like competencies (core skills) which recruiters in many sectors view as transferrable, e.g. the ability to: problem solve; manage others; influence; get things done / project manage.

The key is to be able to identify what your core competencies are and which ones actually give you the most fulfilment. You may be good at getting things done, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you want to be a fulltime event manager.
I use a 7‑step career coaching program with my clients. It works. I’ve helped HR managers become illustrators, florists became project managers, hospitality workers become nannies and digital agency workers become self‑employed.
Change is challenging – especially career change. Having your own personal cheerleader to guide and encourage you through a proven process makes it manageable (you may even enjoy it).
