The common theme here is people aren’t pro-actively choosing their career path. They aren’t spending quality time thinking about it. Instead they’re reacting to circumstance, to what someone else suggests, or just taking a job because it was offered to them. A common theme I see with my clients is that they didn’t listen to themselves when they were choosing their career. They didn’t start with what would make them happy, and if they did they got lost along the way. One of my clients, Lauren, came to me and said she chose to become a lawyer in large part because it was what her family seemed to expect of her. Her father was a doctor, her brother was a lawyer, and her sister was a doctor as well. She came from a family of highly educated, specialized professionals, and she followed in their footsteps without fully thinking through what would make her happy. Fortunately for Lauren, there were things about the law she enjoyed but even those things were diminishing in their appeal. As she looked back on her career, she realized she chose her path in large part due to external circumstances, rather than following her heart or passion. When you’re getting started on this journey of evaluating and possibly changing your career path, the critical thing you need to remember is to start with you. You are the only one who knows which career path will truly work for you. At the end of the day, go with what feels right to you. *Need help identifying your ideal career? Contact us for a complimentary consultation.*  We are filling spots for our most popular coaching service: Our next Ideal Career Coaching Group, including unlimited individual coaching, starts this month. Hear what others have to say about it here.
