Welcome to Fresh Air Coach. This is my second run at a blog. My first was really about being a mom. This one I want to be different. It is about how we function as employees or entrepreneurs, women, and mothers. I will give you my personal insights and opinions about career transitions, balancing career and home, and maybe even some thoughts on parenting. You may agree or disagree with me. That is fine with me. I love healthy, respectful, dialogues.
Our vocation and career are just a part of our worlds as human beings. But it can be a big part, time and energy wise. So how do we get through the days when we "hate" what we do or we are "let go". Or how about many of us who would not use such a strong word as "hate" but are not feeling satisfied or passionate about our vocation. Is this the life we have always wanted? Or is it time for a change.
What is a career transition? It can be many things. Bottom-line it is change. That is what transition means. Change can be difficult when it is forced upon us. It can be exciting when we choose it. I can be freeing in either case.
As a career transition coach and a job search strategist, I walk with those in that change either by choice or not, to facilitate the discovery of work that is fulfilling for them and fits into the rest of their life.
Do we work to live or live to work? Do we love what we do or just survive. I say discover what you love to do and do it. Get paid well at it because you love it and become an expert.
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step."
-Lao-tzu
