Your life's work

As a career coach I assist people in identifying what they do best and seeking employment in that area. The work they choose is a unique blend of their talents, interests, and values. Add to that what they have done in the past that has brought them joy and satisfaction mixed with a healthy measure of personality. There is at least one setting that is a match for you to do your life's work. The factors that contribute to the options may change over time allowing you the freedom to consider them in what you will do next. Perhaps you will have a new experience in life that sparks a desire to pursue that as a line of work. Or a new field opens up that taps into your natural talents and personality type. Just think how communication and technology now look compared to twenty years ago. The key is to know who you are and what you love doing. Then find opportunities to use this knowledge in the workplace. Did you know that over 50% of American workers are not doing what is the right match for them? In which category would you rather be? Begin by asking yourself if the work you are doing today causes you to jump out of bed to pursue it. If not, what would work that excites and satisfies you look like?
