Rethinking my career path
Working remotely has given the chance to take a step back from my career, and it's making me doubt whether I'm actually finding my career fulfilling enough. But how do I even start to transition my career? I'm so overwhelmed I don't know where to begin.

We are rethinking our lives right now! Some great advice above. There are so many free webinars and workshops out there right now to figure out your "super power" or "secret sauce" or whatever the term may be. It may help you identify some areas of interest.

Before you leap, what I like to do is check into internship, volunteer or part time activities that relate to what you think you may wish to transition to. This is a chance to see how good of a fit is for you, if it can provide for you financially, and also gives you some experience to get started if that is the direction that you ultimately decide to go.

So many of us are going through the same thing! Now is the time for reinvention! Make a list of all the things you have done! If you can separate them by duties you enjoyed and duties you would prefer NOT to do again...this will help in which direction you might want to go! Good luck!

I was in corporate and lost my identity and control of what fulfilled my life purpose. I bridged my career toward Coaching and Consulting. Now I teach women how to do the same.

That's so awesome, Jackie. What kept you motivated to pursue the switch?

It was time to go live out my dreams and what motivated me was to preserve my health. Good question!

Were you feeling any of this before you started working remotely? I would try to consider what's changed in your work life - besides the remote factor - that might have changed your perspective.

This is a great point. I was feeling this a little bit but I thought I was just getting restless. I was blaming myself for my doubts instead of considering maybe my career was the issue.

Hi,
There is a lot of great advice here. I am in a similar position and rethinking my career especially as I am in Fashion & Apparel that has been hit hard by Covid-19 and I was unfortunately fuloughed. I had taken and passed a Real Estate class and was looking to take the state exam for my license before the quarantine. I am in talks and hoping to join a Real Estate team soon. Anyone have expertise in Real Estate or any further advice.
Be Safe.

I was in your spot 8 years ago and got the courage to leave a soul sucking career and do my hearts desire. What I discovered was the steps to move forward that gave me the clarity, confidence and exact way to secure y life purpose. It was liberating! Let me know if you need help?
