Having a passion project is fuel for the soul. There are so many benefits to having a passion project like fulfillment, using it as a stepping stone to get to the next level of your career, using it as a networking tool, and even starting your own business. Learn how some of these students of the Purpose Driven Career program utilized their passion to drive their next move. 

Seven months ago Ana came to us after having quit her job and was confused about what she wanted to do next. Her goal for the program was to look at her past with acceptance instead of regret, feel balanced, be on the right track with a 5-year plan, and depend on herself more. Learn what Ana learned about herself and where she is now.

Missing from Wendi’s life and career was excitement, appreciation, and meaningful connections to people. When I first met Wendi she shared,” I've been where I am so long and never thought about how to articulate what skills I bring to the table or what environment I’d like to be in”.

If you don't set boundaries at work you will constantly feel overworked, stressed and even resentful towards your manager or company, which takes a huge toll on your physical, mental health and your overall wellbeing.

I had a phone call with an early career professional woman who’s been in the same office job for a few years. 
 
She says she feels like she’s in limbo, she’s just there for the paycheck and at the end of every day, she feels unfulfilled and purposeless.
 
I asked her what’s stopping her from finding her dream job and she said that she needs to figure out her skills and she’s starting off with zero ideas for what she wants to do next.

How To Link Your Values To Unwanted Tasks

I don’t know about you, but I’m not crazy about all the things I have to do in my job, especially analytics! 

I’ve run away from it for most of my career by either having an analytics team do it for me or I’d find a willing co-worker who could help me with it.

But, now that I have my own business I can’t run and hide anymore. I’ve realized that I have to learn this skill so that eventually I can hire and train someone else to do it for me. 

How did I overcome the resistance and transform my mindset?

I linked my values, bigger vision and life purpose to analytics! When you can link the task to something bigger outside of yourself, it will give it more meaning and purpose, which ultimately creates more flow and less resistance. 

Learning analytics is going to allow me to grow my business, be more efficient with time and money so that I can serve more young professionals! 

This calmed me down enough to get back to the spreadsheet with a refreshed state of mind. 

Is there is a task or project at work (or life or business) that you want to run away and hide from?  I suggest checking in with your values, your bigger vision and life purpose to see how you can link them to the task or project at hand.

How Self Reflection Can Create More Confidence and Inspiration During a Career Transition

Are you currently wanting to pursue a new career path, but not feeling confident in yourself or is your future career vision unclear?

Purpose Driven Career Case Study: Katelyn’s Career Change From Law Into Chief of Staff

Katelyn knew she wanted to change careers from Law into something more meaningful and less stressful, but was unclear on what that could be. During the career exploration phase she started her own side hustle, helping sober New Yorkers find interesting and fun things to do that doesn’t revolve around alcohol. (@soberinnyc)

Through the Career Clarity Method, she was able to boil all these career ideas down into one viable career direction that feels aligned with her values, skills and future vision.

Katelyn shares, "I went into the program really trying to figure out what I wanted to do next. I was practicing law at the time and after about nine years between law school and working in the legal field, I knew that it wasn’t the right environment for me and the type of work I wanted to do. The day-to-day work and the structure of working in a law firm was stressful and most days I felt like I was going to have a panic attack. I was also bored with the work itself – the legal field hasn’t evolved much in decades, and a lot of the work is monotonous – sitting in your office alone writing, with little interaction with people. I couldn’t imagine doing it forever. I wanted something that was more dynamic and creative! I knew I wanted to do something different, but law isn’t a career that’s easy to transition out of because it’s so specific.

The only concern I had going in was making sure that I could figure out what I wanted to do next. Over the past six months working with Kori, I figured out exactly the direction I want to go! I’m now crafting a position for a company as a Chief of Staff to support their leadership team where I can do more creative work with leadership, while bringing in the skills I’ve used as a lawyer. I’ve also started a new Instagram in the sobriety community in New York (@soberinnyc), which has helped me narrow down companies I want to work for, like non-alcoholic beverage brands and modern recovery programs. In addition, I hope to franchise my favorite yoga studio to bring it to New York, which feels more realistic now that I’m not tied down to working in a law firm. I’m feeling more confident connecting with people in these fields and sharing my ideas and plans for what’s next; whereas before I wasn’t really talking about it because I was so wrapped up in my legal career that I didn’t know where to start. I don’t feel any guilt or regret about saying I don’t want to practice law, which feels so freeing!

If you’re considering this program and looking to find something more purpose-driven, it truly helps you do that because you’re not focusing on what jobs are available now and if your skills fit into it and getting the resume done. It’s more about figuring out what you want, the skills you enjoy using, where you want to make an impact and then finding opportunities that match that".

How To Turn a Perceived Career Weakness Into a Super Power

Recently I was coaching one of my Purpose Driven Career clients and we were diving into her strengths and weaknesses.

She loves to solve problems and create solutions and if there is no problem to solve, she becomes unmotivated. For the longest time, she saw this as a weakness that she needed to overcome.

As her coach, I could see this as a leadership skill. I saw her with a CEO mindset and suggested that this isn’t a problem, but a superpower! She was blown away by this realization and I could see her excitement about this new found clarity.

Purpose Driven Career Case Study: How Jessica Turned her Career Dreams Into a Reality

I am a career coach who loves helping young professionals find and land more purpose driven work that aligns with their values, interests and passions and the skills they enjoy using all while making an impact in the world.

I want to introduce you to Jessica, who just completed the Purpose Driven Career program. Learn about Jessica’s journey towards finding career clarity and how she stepped into and is now fully owning being an author and turning her childhood career dream into a reality.

Within 4 months of working together she’s written a book called "Women In Time and Space" and is now writing a mystery novel series and a book on Reflection.

This is what can happen in 4 months when you decide to dedicate your time and energy into your career growth. Career dreams do come true!

Watch our interview here:

"Before I decided to join the program I was burned out. I’m self employed and I love what I do, but I was at the end of my bandwidth and started thinking, is this what I want to be doing five to ten years down the road?

I realized I needed somebody to talk things out with and give me some guidance in figuring out what the next five to ten years look like for me. 

Should I continue on my career path? I’ve always wanted to write fiction and non fiction books, but I had this belief that I could not make enough money to support my family as an author. I just really needed to explore it and look at it from all angles and start making some more conscious proactive decisions around it.

Fast forward 4 months and my tiny tiny little book is coming out next month with a mystery novel series in the works! The biggest transformation was once I made the decision to step in fully as an author, I said, "okay this is it! This is the direction. It’s all or nothing now and I’m moving forward with it in a very serious way". 

The three biggest results from the program was getting crystal clear on the direction over the next five to ten years, which was absolutely huge! And then stepping into that author role in a very real way. The other thing was the mindset shift, which was like a flywheel, once it got going it just kind of perpetuated. I feel transformed on the other side of it and it’s amazing!

If you are on the fence about taking this program and unclear on your career direction this will give you the clarity that you need.  It’s such an interesting and amazing process to go through. You look at not just your career trajectory, but your whole life, your childhood, your dreams. It’s a whole picture, the whole person of who you are and what your skills are and what you could possibly do. I’d say if you’re unclear in any way on your career path this is such a good process to go through just to get that clarity."
