Happen To Your Career - Meaningful Work, Career Change, & Career Design

Maybe you don’t completely dread going to work every day, but there’s a different category you may fall into: the "checked out and just don't care" crew. That fire and passion you once felt for your career seem to have fizzled out, and you’re feeling disengaged. If you’ve been spending your time in a job that is out of alignment with what you value, even if you enjoy your day-to-day job functions, you may have gotten to the point of being apathetic. That’s where Brian found himself for the first time in his career. When he was looped into a round of company layoffs, he overcame his initial panic by stepping back and aligning his career search with what he valued most, ultimately landing his ideal role and reigniting his passion for his career. 

What you’ll learn 

  • The connection between your values and feeling disengaged at work 
  • How to identify what is most important to you when making a values-aligned career change 
  • How to leverage your network and ask the right questions when searching for a company that fits your values
