Do you love your work? If you don't, what are you doing about it?

 

Doing work that you are passionate about is really important, not just because of the hours we spend working, but because we are going to be working for longer with retirement getting later to fund our own pensions. If you are not doing work that you love, taking action now is a sound investment made early to create a more enjoyable working life. The majority of people fall into their careers and don't enjoy what they do.  People believe that any career change will be radical and painful, so they avoid it. It doesn't have to be like this. A career change can be a small step e.g. evolving your role, it doesn't have to be going to the bottom of the ladder and starting all over again.

 

We feel passionate about our work when it plays to our strengths, when it is for a cause we feel strongly about and when it gives us what is important to us, so we feel more fulfilled.  The starting point is to evaluate your current job and career to date; what motivates you, what your values are, your skills and strengths etc. It's only by putting the pieces of the jigsaw together that you can know if your work is right for you, or if there is a vital piece missing.

Five tips to discover your work passion 
 

Girl with thought bubble

 

  
1) Reflect on last week at work; which aspects did you most enjoy?

 

2) Complete this sentence: "Thinking about my current work, I am passionate about it specifically because ..........."
 

3) If your work enabled you to leave a legacy for the world, what would you like it to be?
 

4) If you could create it and there were no obstacles or fears, what would be your ideal work?

 

5) When do you most feel that your current work doesn't fit who you are?

Client success stories
 

People often don't realise what their talents are, can't see where else they could be applied, and think it is immodest to share what they are brilliant at. We help them to see what their unique talents are and to create a business, define a clearer niche, or reinvent their career around their talents.

 

One client is passionate about ethics in business so we have been helping them to refocus their existing skill set into corporate social responsibility over time, not as a leap, but step by step.

 

Another client is fantastic at being organised, covering every detail and going that extra mile. She has just set up a business playing to her passion and strengths as a professional organiser and de-clutterer.

 

We'll be featuring these clients to inspire you in future Energise Career Strategies bulletins and in our NEW Energise career change e course - coming soon.
