479. Why high achievers feel MORE certain in their career paths when they’re younger, and less certain when they’re older

There’s this common (but rarely spoken about) phenomenon that a lot of high achievers experience partway through their careers.They USED to have so much clarity, certainty, and conviction about their career path.They thought hard. They tried different things. They did all the assessments. And they figured out what they wanted to do. Amazing!And now, several years down that path…With real success and real progress behind them…For some reason, they’re starting to feel uncertain again.Is this really what I want? Do I still have conviction that this is the right path for me? What if I’m on the wrong path?AND they beat themselves up for that uncertainty. What’s wrong with me? Why am I suddenly losing conviction? Have I lost my ambition? Am I going backwards?? When this (extremely common!!) phenomenon happens…DON’T force yourself to just keep marching down the path you’re on.And DON’T rush to find your alternate path asap.What you need is an uncertainty audit. Ideally with me – because they’re really hard to do by yourself.Book yours here! https://poojavcoaching.com/contact What we’re going to do together is slow down and dig into your uncertainty. Find all its ingredients and components. And then use those to develop your diagnosis and game plan.You’ll walk away with a simple diagnosis of WHY you’re feeling this way.
