091: How to make your career an enjoyable one: 8 foundations for a positive career journey

Students and graduates... Do you want your career to be a happy one? (If your situation is one in which you are working to be able to earn... That question ultimately equates to saying, "Do you want to be happy in your day to day life?!") Not sure I know anyone who would answer "no" to that question - yet jobs and careers can often slip into unsatisfying and mundane territory. In this episode of the Dive Into Your Career podcast, we explore how you can make your career an enjoyable one. A joyful one. Yes... seriously! In the week of recording this episode, I was writing content for the new Your Career And Future website. I thought about what some of the foundations of the career coaching and support I provide are and came up with 8 essential ones. While I suspect that may increase to 10 before the site is actually published - I knew that you would benefit hearing about how the existing 8 can have an incredibly positive impact on your career trajectory - so here they are. Check out the podcast to learn more about how these values and notions can bring you career joy and excitement. CuriosityCreativityConfidence CollaborationChaptersMindsetFunInclusivity Intrigued?
