42. When you just don't know what to do next Pop Your Career with Bec McFarland

"You're not alone" is one of the phrases that is rolling off my tongue more frequently these days. So many clients are coming to me with this sense of worry, that they don't know what to do next. It's like a feeling of dissatisfaction with where they're at in their careers, whilst also having no idea about where they'd rather be. 

If this resonates with you, I can assure you that you're not alone either. This is really common and honestly, it's one of my favourite adventures to embark on with a new client. Let's figure out what comes next for you AND help you to achieve it.

[00:00:52] Hi, there I'm Bec McFarland the host of the Pop Your Career [00:01:00]Podcast. As a career coach, I'm most passionate about helping my clients to discover their own personal flavour of career fulfillment. In this podcast, we are going to be exploring ways that you too can feel more fulfilled by your work. So strap yourself in, get ready for the ride. The tips around here are fast and in abundance.

[00:01:21] Hello. Hello. It is Bec McFarland here helping you do better and be better in your career. And today I just wanna let you know you are not alone. What am I talking about? ? I get a lot of clients or potential clients who come to me, they book discovery calls, we jump on the phone and they say to me, Bec, I just have no idea what to do next.

[00:02:56] I tend to work more with people who are driven by career [00:03:00]fulfillment and who are looking for ways to feel more fulfilled by their career. And as a result, these are the types of clients that come past my desk. Now, personally, I absolutely love it.

[00:03:24] There are so many opportunities for transformation or for just eye-opening discussions, conversations, challenges. It for me is really, really fulfilling. I love being part of the process of helping someone to get really clear about what it is that they want to do. For me, like there's just nothing th
