Are you a young adult who recently transitioned from education—college and university—into the workforce? Have you been working in your chosen field for the past 1-5 years, only to find that it’s proving to be challenging and draining your energy?
You’re not alone in this situation. While there are certainly things that workplace management can do to assist and support you, some employers excel at this, while others fall short. Setting aside the employer’s responsibilities for a moment, have you considered what actions you can take to improve your situation?
Start by asking yourself these questions and answer them honestly. You don’t need to share your answers with anyone, but be truthful with yourself.
This self-assessment process may seem straightforward at first, but if you’re genuinely honest and clear with yourself, it will take time, energy, and deep reflection.
Acknowledging your strengths and weaknesses is not easy for anyone. It involves asking difficult questions, using humility and self-awareness, and responding without self-serving biases. However, investing the time to reflect now will not only help you achieve short-term improvements but also yield significant long-term benefits.
It may take multiple sessions and some time to find a clear way forward that works for you. This process is not a quick fix, but a thorough approach to rethinking your work life that requires careful consideration and questioning.
As a coach, I can help guide you through this journey, asking the tough questions that demand honest responses and helping you explore what they mean for your future.
