HOW TO NAVIGATE A MID-CAREER CRISIS

Are you facing a mid-career crisis? Don’t PANIC! The good news is that there is a FORMULA for career success! In episode 257 of Your Career Podcast we focus on this formula.

Firstly, are you STUCK IN A RUT?
Have you ever felt stuck in your career? Like you’re not making any progress, or you’re not enjoying your work anymore? You are not alone. Many mid-career professionals face a career crisis at some point in their lives.

I frequently come across this CAREER SCENARIO:

You’ve jumped from job-to-job, feeling dissatisfied, always looking for the elusive perfect role. Or you’ve been working in the same company for over 10 years, doing the same kind of work, day in and day out.

You are good at what you do, but you feel frustrated, bored and unfulfilled. And you also feel unappreciated and that affects your self-confidence and job satisfaction. You want to do something more meaningful and challenging, something that aligns with your passion and purpose.  

And of course you need to earn a living too.  But you realise it’s not all about the money, even though your priority is to ensure that you can pay your bills.  But you don’t know what you’re passionate about, let alone the ‘purpose’ that you’re supposed to find. 

There are so many options and possibilities, and you don’t know which one is right for you. You're scared you may make a wrong move, or risk your financial stability.  Perhaps you have people who depend on you and your income too.

You feel trapped in a career that no longer suits you, but how can you make a break for it without risking everything?  And another month goes by, then another and a year later you realise you’re still in the same place, continuing around on that proverbial hamster wheel.

And then redundancy looms … oh no!  You feel anxious and pray that your role won’t be affected.  Then a call from HR for a meeting and your heart sinks.  What you had hoped would never happen, is happening.
