Your Next Career Decision – Where Will Your Gifts Best Serve the World?

Chrysanthemum

Do you want to make a change to a career that is more rewarding and fulfilling?

Are there organization changes that have changed your job?

Is there a job loss and you’re trying to figure out what to do next?

Our decision process typically includes a lot of factors. 

Here’s the textbook criteria we typically start with . . .

We want a position with equivalent or better pay or benefits, has room for advancement, at a secure and stable company.  We want to like the organization and people we work with and for.

What we may be thinking . . . .

  • Does it fit the picture of where I envision myself based on what I believe I’ve earned or deserve?
  • Does it have the same stature (title, position, rank) – is it a step back or beneath me?
  • How will this change how other people view my success?

And what we may not even consider – and is really important to consider. . .

  • Where will our gifts and talents make the biggest difference to those around us?
  • Where can we bring honor and credibility?
  • Where can our presence bring light?

These aspects connect us to our purpose, and our purpose nourishes us in a way that money, power, and position cannot.  Further, when we operate in our purpose, it shifts how we measure our value –
we realize it comes from the inside-out.

So before you make your next career decision,
think about it differently!
