In this week's episode, we focus on when you know if you need to make a job change or not.  No job is perfect, we all know this, but is this a good time to reflect on why you are feeling this way.  There are a lot of different factors that can affect your engagement in your career.  There could be life things: you may have had a major life change, you need to be in a different city, you need to work remote, earn more money, etc.  It’s important to consider all of these things, but in this episode, we are going to focus on what in your career is impacting the rollercoaster of engagement.  Once you figure out the why, then you can figure out what can actually change.In this episode, you will specifically learn:How to track your energy to see if you are just having a bad day or if this is affecting your engagement consistently.If there is a trend of frustration, disengagement and unhappiness, how to talk to your manager about it.How to identify if you have hit your ceiling in your current role (but like your company and team) and what next steps could look like.Links mentioned:Career Investigation Worksheet I’m Karen Weeks, the CEO & Chief Shine Officer (aka transformation coach) at KDW Coaching, the host of the Shine at Work podcast, award winning culture leader (currently leading the People team at Ordergroove), a speaker and published author.
