(4 of 8) Career Design: How to Build a Career That Fits Your Whole Life (Not Just Your Job) | What Fits You

from What Fits You? · host Scott Anthony Barlow

Almost every high performer we work with has spent years making career decisions without ever stopping to ask what kind of life those decisions were building toward. Not because they didn't care about their life outside work, but because their career had its own momentum. Each next step made sense. Each promotion was a logical move. And somewhere along the way, the career started making the life decisions instead of the other way around. In Day 4 of the What Fits You 8-Day Mini Course, you'll work through the five areas of your life your career is either supporting or working against, using the same framework our team walks clients through to build their Ideal Career Profile. Fit isn't just about the work. It's about the whole picture. What you'll learn: Why career decisions made on autopilot end up shaping every other area of your life The 5 categories most high performers have let their career make decisions about by default: Environment, Financial, Family/Social, Personal Development/Growth, and Physical Health What specific questions to ask in each area to surface what you actually want versus what you've been making peace with Why income becomes both the reason to stay somewhere that doesn't fit and the thing that makes every other area harder to prioritize How the Ideal Career Profile becomes the foundation for evaluating real opportunities in the next stage of the course     Our book, Happen To Your Career: An Unconventional Approach To Career Change and Meaningful Work, is now available on audiobook!
