In 2016, I pivoted from consultant to life coach. It has led to achievements that I am so very proud of as well as more abundance and balance. I’m sharing all of this not to brag but to tell you that YOU CAN DO THIS TOO! If you are searching for more meaningful work, a higher salary, a more balanced life, higher levels of inspiration, energy and passion, opportunities to learn and grow, or something else outside your current reality, a career pivot could be exactly what you’re looking for!
Transitions have the power to jettison us into new realms of understanding, life, work and love, making them also some of the most magical and valuable moments in our lives. The tricky thing here is that..in order to get the most out of that super-distilled life clarifying moment, you need to slow down and lean into those feelings of discomfort.
It’s not easy to admit, given I work as a life coach, that my life could get so out of balance, literally leaving out 50% of what typically keeps me sane and thriving. However, we ALL are navigating through uncharted waters, and I can understand how I could have reconstructed my new “normal” in a Frankenstein, haphazard manner.
What is all or nothing thinking? Well it's just like it sounds.. the idea that something is all or nothing, a perfect binary. In psychology, this phenomenon is often called 'splitting', or the inability to bring together the dichotomy of something having both positive and negative aspects.
Have you heard of shadow work? This is the portal into deep, radical inner healing and transformation. My saying, "I am racist", is acknowledging a shadow. Something that I might superficially, in my conscious mind, deny, yet in my subconscious lives and breaths and influences my actions and impact in the world. I care about my impact, I imagine you do as well, and if my shadows influence that then I, we (if you're with me) MUST go there.
Have you ever wondered when is the right time to leave consulting? If you’ve spent one too many nights banging your head against your keyboard, wishing you could sign off of the grind and sign on to a different career path, check in with this list to see if now is the time to make the leap.
