Good luck on the exam! I’m working on several certifications this year that I’ve been putting off for almost a decade!!

Thanks, glad to you too. Which certifications are you working on if you don't mind me asking?

To add a revenue stream that I have more direct control over.

To find a new job that has
the same pay and benefits as my current job but is less stressful, high employee morale and positive upbeat upper management and where I can make a positive impact.

How about with more pay! Write a list of your non-negotiables, what your new job has to have in order for it to be a fit. Spend time knowing what you want and what you don't want before you start searching. It's a great time to look. Go out there and get the job you want!

By the end of 2022, I will have found a new job in an industry/area that truly excites me, motivates me & sparks passion.

Sometimes this can feel like a tremendous undertaking. Is there one action you can take per week to get you closer to this goal? Maybe resume in one week, apply to two jobs a second week? Commit to it by chunking the actions down.

To be on my way to become part of the leadership team.
Jackie GhedineDecember 30,2021 at 12:15PM UTC
Outstanding. What is one specific thing you can do to achieve this goal? How can you prepare?
PMFJDecember 30,2021 at 11:55PM UTC
Honestly, I don’t know what I can do, but I will talk to my boss and others from the leadership team to ask what can I do as well as if one of them to be my mentor.
AnnDecember 29,2021 at 2:43PM UTC
the same contentment, excitement and passion I used to have
Jackie GhedineDecember 30,2021 at 12:14PM UTC
Ann, what are some things that make you happy? Activities?
Candy RenDecember 30,2021 at 2:47AM UTC
By the end of 2022, I want to deliver successful initiative I take at work.

More control over my schedule, less work-related anxiety, less micromanagement, and to be paid what I'm truly worth! (I'm an RN in South Carolina, we are one of the lowest-paid group of RN's in the country).
