WHY WE DON’T CHANGE
Did you know that 60% of professionals don’t realize they need to make serious career changes until it’s too late? Here are three reasons why…
A fear of uncertainty. Just the thought of leaving a stable job and diving into the unknown can be overwhelming – along with the fear of financial instability.
Being comfortable with the status quo, which makes it easy to stay put. Our daily routines, work relationships, and a steady paycheck can become key factors in professional complacency.
And, a lack of clarity and planning. You see, without a clear vision or plan it’s easy to procrastinate. And, waiting for perfect timing can lead to missed opportunities and limited options.
Unlike the past, when people worked for one employer many years until they retired… – today layoffs, restructuring, and staff reductions are common, with a staggering 40% of Americans being laid off at least once within their career.
So, start planning, upskilling, networking, and taking control of your future today — because the best time to make a change is before you have to.
5 SIGNS YOU NEED TO MAKE A CHANGE
Reinventing yourself professionally and making a career pivot can be transformative, especially when seeking new challenges. However, ignoring the signs or procrastinating can have lasting consequences. Here are FIVE SIGNS it’s time to make a change.
LACK OF ENGAGMENT and MOTIVATION – meaning you dread going to work, and your passion no longer aligns with your current role.
LIMITED OPPORTUNITIES. Maybe you’ve reached a point where there are no clear chances for advancement and growth.
Consistent UNDER-UTILIZATION OF YOUR SKILLS and TALENT.
MISALIGNMENT OF VALUES AND GOALS, because the company is pivoting in a direction that’s no longer aligned with your life and career aspirations.
Maybe you have new, EMERGING INTERESTS in a different industry or role.
