About this event

Are you feeling uninspired, underutilized and undervalued at work?

Have you spent months (or years) analyzing whether you should quit or not and you’re still spinning your wheels?

When you stay in the wrong job too long, you start to lose your spirit. It can start to feel like there’s something wrong with you, but let me tell you… it’s not you (it’s the job).

If you’re analytically minded and feeling stuck in an ill-fitting job, you’ve come to the right place.

If you want to make sure your next move is a good fit, you need to have a different approach. I believe there's no "perfect" job, so the important part is knowing who you are and what you need, understanding the trade-offs and finding a job that supports all that.

Through a series of practical and structured exercises, we’ll discover exactly what isn’t sitting right about your current role and why, and create a plan of action to get you back on track.

Testimonials from prior participants:

"The highlight for me was getting my thoughts written down and digested in a different way. I enjoyed quantifying them in multiple ways to see how my gut feeling differed from a more thorough ranking"

"Rather than looking at things at the bigger picture (which I’m usually bad at), I enjoyed taking small issues and working backwards"

"To know that I’m not alone, that I’m not the only one with a particular problem. I mean I know I can’t be the first person to experience these things but it felt a little calming and reassuring to see that I’m not the only one in this boat"

"Discussions and sharing with the group has the effect of normalizing what feels so unique and lonely"

Agenda:

Career Wheel of Life: Evaluate your level of satisfaction in 8 different areas of your career

Know Your Values: Discover your values by looking at motivations behind major decision points in your life

Action Plan: What changes do you want to make going forward?

Come get some outside support and perspective on your job situation to give you the nudge you need to find a job that fits.
