Rethinking Careers

Did you know only 20% of people truly enjoy their daily work? It’s time to think differently about how we grow in our careers.

As a career coach, I used to believe in the usual path – get educated, start at the bottom, work your way up. But after helping hundreds of people find their way, I’ve learned that the best careers often take unexpected turns, just like a game of snakes and ladders.

Something interesting is happening: The old career ladder is being replaced by what we call a career lattice – with many different paths to success. Here’s a surprising fact: 47% of Gen Z workers say they get better career advice from ChatGPT than their bosses!

Look at Richard Branson – he went from selling records to running airlines to launching rockets into space. That’s what happens when you’re open to new directions.

Here’s why embracing a non-traditional career path makes sense:

• You learn different skills from various industries
• You become better at handling change in our AI-driven world
• Your unique experience makes you more valuable
• It’s natural – most people change jobs 12 times in their career https://www.forbes.com/sites/amyblaschka/2023/06/10/the-3-best-ways-to-embrace-your-non-linear-career/

Want to try this new approach? Here’s what you can do:

✨ List skills that work in different industries

✨ Share your expertise to build your professional name

✨ Connect with people outside your current field

✨ Chase experiences that matter, not just fancy job titles
