Taking Ownership of Your Career Pivot To Joy

- Education
In this episode, Coach Kooley celebrates the first anniversary of launching the Pivot to Joy podcast, coinciding with her birthday! She reflects on her journey, from the early days of midnight tax filing runs with her mom to embracing her birthday to celebrate being alive and spreading joy to her loved ones. Coach Kooley shares insights on "career risk triggers," predictable milestones like birthdays and work anniversaries that can lead to decreased job satisfaction and a higher likelihood of employees seeking new opportunities. She offers proactive strategies for managers to mitigate these risks, such as regularly scheduled career check-ins.
As Kooley looks ahead to Q2 and the new year, she emphasizes the importance of individuals taking ownership of their careers rather than solely relying on managers. She invites listeners, whether they are high-performers seeking to level up or ambitious emerging leaders, to explore opportunities to work with her in her group coaching program.

Quotes: From the moment you were born, you were 100% worthy of love. I love texting my favorite humans to let them know that their existence on the planet is a cause for joy in my life. Adding two additional check-ins to ensure that you're having conversations every two to three months allows for an opportunity to provide additional feedback and course correct where needed. If your manager were responsible for your career, it would be called their career. I say this because you are one person versus a manager who is responsible for many people, and the math will never be in your favor if you are solely dependent upon someone else to manage your career. Caring is sharing. If you know someone who would benefit from hearing these words, share my podcast with them. Resources: If you want to know more about creating intentional pivots, let's connect, and remember to SHARE with your friends!
