#5 Career anchors or what are your motivators‪?‬ My Business Coaching Podcast

    • Profesiones

The new episode of my podcast is about "inner career", about living in harmony with ones own values and self-image. 

In his research on management careers, Edgar Schein, a world-famous social scientist, has identified eight different career anchors. Autonomy/independence and security/stability are two of them, pure challenge and work-life-balance two others. My coaching practice shows that very few people have only one anchor, but usually two or three guiding principles. If these are contradictory, as in the case of my coachee Paul Hoffmann, it can be difficult to make a professional decision. Feel free to listen in!
