Our lives are so incredibly busy with numerous work and personal demands that it’s easy fall into living on autopilot vs living a life that is purposeful and reflective of what’s really important to us.
Get off the merry-go-around by focusing on identifying what truly drives you: What values are most important to you? Achievement, relationships, health, creativity, status, wealth, making a difference – these are just a few key values to consider.
Next ask: Am I honouring my values in my work and life? If not, what do you need to do to shift things? Often my clients think they need to make huge life/career changes in order to get their life in alignment. Sometimes a major change is what is needed. But for many, it’s the small things that begin to transform our lives. For example, stopping for lunch (yes, lunch can make a huge difference).

Wishing you much career success!
