At different times throughout your career, you may find yourself in a role that takes more from you than it gives.
At first, those mounting day-to-day demands and expectations can be managed, or passed off as ‘a busy period’.
But eventually, you’re exhausted all the time, and your enthusiasm and passion have left the building.
You know a change is necessary.
Would something small like going to bed earlier help? Could you reinvigorate things by moving to a different area of the organisation?
Is it time to look for a new job, or perhaps, make a complete career change?
Resume writing, selection criteria, interviewing. Handing in your resignation, starting a new role and learning the ropes in a new environment. For many people those things are challenging at the best of times, let alone while also balancing an unrelenting workload, or feeling mentally drained at the end of each day.
Not to mention, theres a little work to be done if you want to avoid ending up back in the same place, all over again.
By taking small steps and tending to your emotional well-being and resilience, you can make a successful transition and establish clear, healthy boundaries in the workplace that will support you in a new role, and throughout your career.
