Do you want a career that helps you play to your strengths? What about a career that is perfect for you? Finding a job that lights you up is easy but you then worry about making money. So you take a job that provides you the external benefits to pay bills, meet the mortgage obligation, etc.

At some point YOU made that decision so you can’t blame your teachers, bosses, and obligations for the situation you find yourself in. It is never too late to make a change that helps you build a successful (monetary as well as the intangible happiness that you seek) career and fulfilling life.

Sometimes as high performers, we are so focused on being busy with doing things that we aren’t doing the right things to get the promotion we want. If you are looking for a position in management, you need to show you can delegate, not complete all the tasks yourself.

We all know a person (or persons) that has climbed the professional ladder at a speed that makes you wonder if they had wings. Watching them achieve, perform, and impress beyond anything we think is possible. Then they hit a wall and burnout or leave the organization. Do you wonder what causes professionals to burnout? The “honeymoon phase” ends and all the bad habits, lack of professional boundaries, and overwhelm come rushing in.
