These talks are useful, but I find they are sometimes too central to the person talking and can't be applied to everyone. I worked in HR for 5 years before deciding to change my career. I found the process very difficult, but there are tools online to help! There are free YouTube guides and I also found an online course called the "career enhancement network" even though it did take me a while to learn everything, I didn't regret trying to benefit myself.
It's frustrating to see video after video on this subject where they tell you to ask yourself questions… If I had the answers I wouldn't be stuck Gina! Not everyone can connect to themselves so easily. Some of us need help.
where did you get the money for a career coach without a job?
Wow! Thanks a lot!
70000 thoughts!!! more like 100-500 if i'm switch on for the day.
I don’t think passion is something you find, I think it’s something we all have, you just have to find a platform to express it.
The punchline of life is how you feel about yourself when you're by yourself!!
1. Im good at drawing and im hardworking
2. People around me tell me im good at explaining and hardworking
3. Im easy to be distracted and moody
What if what i am (and possibly what i might be good at) is a field that has a very low hiring rate for the male applicants? Let's say early childhood learning.
I didn't quite understand the point of asking the first question. Isn't your passion usually the thing you're good at? I missed the point. Can someone explain?
I have always been told I am good at art and English. I love teaching and It brings me joy. I also LOVE dentistry and doctors however if it wasn’t for what’s holding me back, would I really?
What holds me ?
Money. I have always been below average money wise and I cannot express to you how much I wanna make my family proud. They support me a little too much and give me freedom so I’m very grateful haha, but I wanna make them think their decision was good. I CANT be something related to arts because would it make me money? I CANT teach because, would it make me money? I have bounced between the thought of being an art teacher for a long time but would it make me money like being a dentist or doctor? I’m worried they won’t be proud. They would say they are but would the disappointment of them finding out I’m changing my mind be too much?
I don't think there is a large calling for survival instructors…
I have probably 10 different paths. However, I can't sell myself. So nothing will work.
What I'm good at: Art/Creating/animation
What people tell me: Art/writing
What's holding me back: motivation
Was not in any way helpful. Basically just what everyone else says, with a spin on it.
I got a bad habit of comparing myself to others and I’m VERY aware of it. I catch myself all the time, I try something new and I say “well (example name) Dave is way more better at math than me.” Or “My sister is so much smarter than me and if she’s struggling with chemistry wth am I gonna do?” I don’t know how to break this habit. It’s most smarts, I met whole bunch of smart people in my life and I just can never seem to feel equivalent.
Going to college soon and I have absolutely no clue what I want to do. I’m interested in a few things, but I don’t know that they would be good as anything more than a hobby
Thank you❣
What am I good at?
I am good at presentation, time management, leading and managing
What people tell me I am good at?
Presentation, public speaking, life advice, solving problems
What is holding me back?
Fear of burning out on the job; lack of work-life balance
This talk was so helpful. While it hasn't magically solved all my problems(I never expected it to), this is definitely helping me take a step in the right direction.
No idea what I am good at, that's the main point
This video jus helped me more then u would ever know
