How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Finding my direction, selling myself, salary negotiations, types of roles to target, confidence..
What do you want instead?I recently lost my job due to government contracting cuts. In a way, I'm excited because I knew I wanted to do something else, but I also just bought a home so there is stress of finding something soon, although I want it to be a good fit. My graduate school field of study is really interesting to me so I'd like to make a pivot to that, but my experience is in a different field, so I feel like in the past, it's been easy to fall into another job that values my experience over academic research.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Work/life balance, not dreading the people I work with, be able to feel like I'm being useful, work in groups sometimes, but also be able to work independently, learning new technologies.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I need to find me next role and I want to do it right this time instead of how I did it when I left the military.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenge has been getting positions that utilize my academic training and appeal to my interests.
What do you want instead?These challenges have affected my life in many ways. After graduate school, I struggled to land a job with a history museum or non-profit, so I ended up teaching at a private school which, though fulfilling in many ways, wasn't exactly what I wanted to do. Although none of my positions have paid particularly well, my career challenges haven't affected me financially. I am lucky enough to have inherited enough to live comfortably, so I am mainly concerned with finding work that is fulfilling and that has a positive impact on the world.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I think that finding a fulfilling career would fill a gap that currently exists in my life. I would be happy with my career if it allowed me to use my learned skills and inherent traits. Overall, I think a happy career would add more meaning to my life.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I recently moved across the country and am having difficulty finding suitable positions outside of my network. I ultimately would like to start my own non-profit, but would very much like to gain more experience before doing so. Overall, I believe that I need to create some sort of action plan to move towards my ultimate goals.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have a lot of interests, so I tend to have a lack of focus and put a lot of my energy into non-paying side projects and initiatives, because I feel myself making an impact there (as opposed to my full-time day job, where I feel very little impact or passion). So I have no free time and no clue about a path moving forward.
What do you want instead?I am underpaid at my day job, and I have taken on a side gig to help me with my finances. Unfortunately, that just gives me even less free time to pursue things like my side business or a healthy lifestyle. I have been increasingly unhappy and unhealthy as I put more and more pressure on myself with less and less impact.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I imagine that I would feel less likely to overcommit myself outside of work because I would feel valued and like I have purpose in my career.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I believe I need to change professions. I am currently a licensed architect, but I cannot imagine continuing along this path. I am too frustrated with the profession, and I think my strengths might lie elsewhere.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?The revolving door of new bosses. My current boss of 6 years has been pushing me out of opportunities where I can grow or publicly demonstrate my expertise
What do you want instead?I've been treading water for a long time. Stuck in the same title while taking on more responsibilities. Accomplishing so much that quite a lot of people know what I do, but I'm not recognized for any of it in the higher levels of the company, and definitely not from my boss. I'm worn out; tired of being devalued, tired of being taken advantage of, tired of giving but never getting anything back. Also, I work for a covert narcissist who has an extensive HR file but continues to "fail upward." Working under this person has had an impact on my health. Though I have spent a lot of time learning how to cope with and anticipate the toxic behavior, I do not want to continue working in this situation.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be recharged! Filled with energy and enthusiasm for the work that I do genuinely love.
What is causing you to seek help right now?My company is merging with another. There were rumors that my boss would be moved entirely to their other role 100%. Today I learn that I am responsible for creating a fantastic presentation for my boss to give about what has been my professional philosophy (my boss doesn't know because they only used my department as a stepping stone to their true job). I was told that if this presentation succeeds, then my boss can keep their job, and so can I. I also heard that my boss will have one year following the merger to prove that they can continue to oversee the two groups that are technically under their purview (although they distanced themself from my group about 4 years ago - whenever they reinsert themselves, they make a mess!)

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I would say my biggest issue is that I have never really had one specific career! I have always been an overall generalist knowing a ton about many different topics, a very quick learner and working in overlapping industries. I know my strengths are in both being good with people and also being very well versed in technology. I have also always been great at operations and optimising workflows. I have always just came across jobs and found work but currently and for the past 6 months I have been struggling to find remote work, consistent work, or exactly what job titles to even apply to when returning to a more corporate structure. Having to fight to create tons of cover letters and variations of my resume only to never hear back from companies is disheartening. I'm either over qualified, under qualified, given unrealistic job offers, or sent offers I can tell are scams. So all in all I'm a little lost.... Also worth saying that I have always been pressure to work over 40 hours a week at past jobs and I'm fearful of that as well. I'm currently learning Blender a 3D program and would love to eventually have a career with using it to create motion graphics, music visualisations, and possibly for commercial product work. My issue is that I'm still learning and need something in the mean time while I build out my work in that. I also have applied to smaller jobs even possible server, retail, ect at nearby spots and was not given an interview due to over qualified or under qualified.... Problem is I feel like I would get the job if only I was given the actual interviews.
What do you want instead?The biggest reasoning for also not being able to do a lot of gig work or non remote work is that currently I don't have a license due to a DUI that was years old. I am dealing with it and currently totally done with the in the courts eyes but due to a loop hole a 3rd party that is in control of the classes, they made me redo everything from scratch and do not listen to the courts. With Low funds I also go out less.... resulting in less networking, which means less work and less hanging out with friends or any travel. its a snowball effect I need to get out of...
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I do currently have a plan with to build out work with my career with using Blender 3D doing a bunch of promo on instagram, fiver, upwork, networking, ect... but I'm not able to comfortably work on it properly due to my low funds and no other work situation at the moment. In a perfect world I would have something remote where I can put 40 hours or less into and then finish and build out my show reel/Portfolio. Then I can truly build out the career I want in.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I believe you know my mother Brenda First, she requested I give it a chance and that your good at what you do. As you can tell by my current ranting I'm a little stuck and not sure exactly how the more corporate landscape works. Worth saying that I am normally a likeable, friendly person, and not this scatter brained while during a job interview.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?After 22 years in federal government leadership, my biggest challenge is taking a chance on myself and the skills/experiences I have gained to walk away and pursue opportunities in this last chapter of my professional life, to do something I am passionate about. My commitment to the people I lead/serve has grown to eclipse the commitment to myself and my family and I know I need to change that or risk loosing much more than a job.
What do you want instead?Marriage is suffering a bit because of how my work has bled into my personal life and impacted my health. I am also significantly underpaid for the work (and experience) I offer. I'm definitely more unhappy as a result of the stress/overwork.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?A better balance between the things I love (time with family/friends, traveling) and my career. I want to be able to show up fully for both in a way that adds value to self and others (personally and professionally)
What is causing you to seek help right now?For 22 years I've kind of allowed my career be on autopilot, navigating through doors that seemed logical and were promoted to me by others (mentors, bosses, etc.) who saw my abilities but not necessarily my passions. I need help figuring out how to bet on myself and be less insecure so that I can put more value on what I have to offer.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Was laid off by Amazonin 2023 (after 6 years there), where I worked in strategic finance and content acquisition for Prime Video. Found a new role in Strategy at Uber in NYC in 2024. Lasted 6 months, then was fired. Now I'm back to the drawing board, almost convinced I have no future in large tech, and looking to (i) define a good target sector/role, (ii) find the strength to apply and interview to different roles, (iii) weighing alternatives (leave the US, buy & operate a small business, switch to BD or stay in strategy/finance).
What do you want instead?Most of these career changes were initiated by a complicated love relationship. My girlfriend breaking up with me was devastating, and I'm still processing that. I'm financially ok, but will need to start making money soon. I decided to not move from NY to minimize disruption, but I'm still quite confused about most key choices I have to take this year.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd have a job that requires me to be the interface between my company and external companies. I've done my fair share of strategy/finance internal work, and find it too stiff. I want to gear up to be able to provide for a family, which I'd hope to have with a stable relationship I'd work to build asap.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Too many falls, both on the professional and personal front. Hard to pick myself back up alone. Need help to be more motivated, committed, move forward without getting discouraged.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?1. Lack of clarity or direction I should take in my career : I have done a few different roles in my career and I am uncertain how to take the next step. The core skills that I have had are I have been in client facing roles and have core project mangement skills. I have been in payments area for the last few years and have enjoyed it. 2. Golden handcuff: As I look for other oppurtunities, the pay range for the roles are below what I currently make. Because I haven't had a clear career path so far, I am not getting jobs that I am applying for (assuming this is the reason). 3. I am currently in a role (Client Solutioning) and likely for the first time in my career - I am struggling in this role.
What do you want instead?Really for the first time in my life, I am not motivated to work and am not pushing myself at work to deliver, to add value and thrive. I am generally have been a happy person and work gives me energy, right now work sucks life out of my life. I strive not to bring his feeling to home but I am sure it bleeds through.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I want work to be challenging and rewarding. When my work is challenging and rewarding, I am happy. When I am happy, I am more happy at home with my family. Work life balance is importance as I have young children.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?After 21 years contracting at the same IT job, I’m eager to explore new opportunities. Some of the items I have depth of experience in: UNIX Computer Systems Virtualization (VMware/Broadcom) Automation (Ansible) Script Writing Python/Perl/Bash Architecture Design Presenting Project Management Business Justification for Capital/Expense purchases Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert The resumes I have been submitting for the past couple of months have not been getting me interviews. I am looking for someone who will coach me through with writing effective resumes that will help in getting interviews. Someone who will help optimize my LinkedIn profile. Finally, provide insights and suggestions on how to best conduct myself when in an interview. In summary, I would like to maximize my job searching opportunities, and be able to shine above the competition.
What do you want instead?Probably the largest impact is financial. Due circumstances out of my control, I am unable to get a raise that competes with inflation and family financial challenges.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have been trying for years to take the skills I've learned in political campaign world to a more reliable and lucrative industry but I haven't had any success pitching myself or getting noticed outside of campaigns
What do you want instead?It has been extremely disruptive and highly demoralizing to only work episodically. I became extremely depressed when I lost my last job and that was largely responsible for the end of a pretty happy relationship.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I desperately want stability. I'm 36 and I've worked a lot, but I've never felt stable or secure in my career, nor have I been able to approach financial solvency.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Like I said, I'm 36, I have to stop fucking around and do something with my life.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I'm looking to land an internal role and, if needed, an external role in the US or Mexico. The last two years have been challenging in my career and I want to overcome this to convey the impact of my work in spite of this. Being a non-native speaker, I feel that I'm at a disadvantage while competing for roles as a senior HR professional.
What do you want instead?I'm under a lot of uncertainty right now and it has definitely taken a toll on my mental health and my sense of self-worth.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would have less anxiety and less stress in my life.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've been de-scoped and asked to find another internal role. However, I haven't been able to do so and I want to secure a role internally or externally.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I've always been fairly "successful" in terms of schooling and achieving a traditional career path, however I've probably focused on job stability vs. job satisfaction. I've been fairly luckily early in my career with good mentors, however as I've grown more senior, those relationships have tended to fade / dissipate. Given I have followed a fairly tradition schooling / trajectory arc, I don't have much experience recruiting / assessing opportunities outside professional services.
What do you want instead?My impending career transition is putting the next steps or my marriage (namely purchasing a home) on hold, as we do not want to commit to an area / home if my new career may require a relocation (intra-city or further).
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My life would be less stressful, and I would worry less about my partner if I was happy in my career. I know the uncertainty is weighing on her, and I would like to lift that burden.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I know that I would like to make a change, however I feel like i am being reactive vs. proactive in my career transition. I believe a coach could help me formulate an action plan, provide accountability to execute on my career transition, and provide insight and advice how to navigate this uncertain time.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I fear I've dug myself a deep hole. I am early career in marketing, undergraduate degree but no grad school, and I've had a string of dead-end jobs in my field. I feel like my resume full of dead-ends makes it difficult to achieve a higher-paying role or pivot into something more satisfying. I know I'll need to go back to school or go back to square one, so I want to be sure of myself when I pick a new direction.
What do you want instead?I'm still in the same financial situation as many people immediately post-grad. It's difficult for me as many of my friends have found success in their fields and they can afford weddings, houses, and babies. Candidly - my parents will be paying for this service because they are disappointed in my progress. I can't decide if I'm more worried that my 10-year salary expectation might not afford me a house in LA or if I'm more worried that I'm so miserable I can't even picture myself there.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be internally motivated to succeed in my field, have work/life balance, and a strong network of supportive clients, friends, and peers.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am 27 years old, early career, and massively disappointed in my current trajectory. I am disinterested in my field and completely unsure if my skill set has the potential to bring me downstream success. I'm evaluating education options and looking for potential to "pivot".

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Throughout my career, I’ve intentionally explored different roles and industries to build a versatile skill set and better understand where I can make the greatest impact. With over five internships in college and recent full-time experience in sales and client management, I’ve gained valuable skills in adaptability, relationship-building, and problem-solving. After stepping away from my last role, I’m now focused on finding a position where I can grow long-term, leverage my experience, and make a meaningful contribution. I’m looking for guidance to refine my career story, improve my positioning in interviews, and identify roles that align with my skills and goals
What do you want instead?Being unemployed right now has definitely created financial pressure, which impacts both my short-term decision-making and long-term planning. It’s also added a layer of stress and uncertainty as I work to secure my next role. At the same time, it’s given me an opportunity to reflect on my career goals, focus on professional development, and be intentional about finding a position where I can grow and make a lasting impact.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I were happy in my career, I’d be making good money while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. I’d feel financially secure and able to enjoy life outside of work without constantly stressing about deadlines or burnout. I’d also feel fulfilled knowing that the work I’m doing aligns with my strengths and allows me to grow professionally without requiring me to sacrifice too much personal time
What is causing you to seek help right now?Being unemployed has given me time to reflect on my career path and what I truly want moving forward. It’s made me realize the importance of finding a role that aligns with my strengths, provides financial stability, and offers a better work-life balance. I’m seeking coaching now to gain clarity, build a strong strategy for my job search

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenges in my career stem from navigating a significant transition and finding clarity on my next steps. I have diverse experience in client relations, sales, and leadership, but I sometimes struggle to effectively communicate how my transferable skills align with new industries or roles, such as business development, real estate, or international work. I also value personal growth and flexibility, like remote work and travel, and I’m seeking a career that aligns with these priorities while providing stability and fulfillment. Additionally, entering new fields feels daunting at times, and managing my finances during this transition adds another layer of stress.
What do you want instead?These challenges have added stress to my finances, as I’m focused on being frugal and mindful of spending while navigating my career transition. They’ve also caused some uncertainty in my personal relationships, as I’m trying to balance my priorities and ensure I stay true to myself. Overall, the lack of clarity has affected my happiness at times, but I’m determined to use this period as an opportunity for growth and alignment with what truly fulfills me.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I were happy in your career, my life would feel balanced and fulfilling, with a clear sense of purpose and direction.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I'm at a bit of a crossroads. I was promoted to principal software engineer 2 years ago and I am having trouble embracing the higher level strategic thinking this entails. I also have trouble driving impact and selling my ideas. At the same time, I am getting more involved in creative projects on the side (writing a sci fi novel and collaborating on a TV show). There are other side gigs I want to try just for fun but it's hard to juggle all of this and still perform adequately at my day job.
What do you want instead?I've been burning out pretty hard and dreading every day. I'm not able to gather enough time or energy for a full life so I am single. I am neurodivergent so I am hitting walls in my executive functioning and social skills.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would feel valuable and appreciated. The challenges I face would help me grow without feeling too burdensome. My days would be full of exciting intellectual discovery, sustainable growth, and interesting collaborations.

I know that I have something to offer, but I am not college educated, and have made some poor choices in early adulthood that I feel are haunting me. Need some direction in on how or where to focus my efforts.
What do you want instead?My wife has been the breadwinner for the last 4-5 years, and was laid off in August. This has caused our family great stress. We have a 3 year old son. I now feel pressure to find some direction in my professional life.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I've only ever known the freelance entertainment world and I am looking to make a switch to a more stable profession while still utilizing the skills I've honed as an Assistant Director. The biggest challenges is the uncertainty within the industry, the constant stress of always being on the hunt for the next job, the long hours, and the on-call lifestyle. Additionally, the "application process" in the freelance entertainment world doesn't really exist, thus I am somewhat out of touch in this area.
What do you want instead?I'm constantly stressed about my finances due to the gig economy lifestyle and this puts pressure on my relationship. I cannot fully stay present in life as I am always concerned as to where and when my next job will come. I am hoping that a salaried and stable position will allow me to cultivate a happier and healthier life, one where I can actually have what people call work/life balance and more financial freedom.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be able to exercise daily, go to yoga, meditate, cook dinner with my partner, plan trips, and have a regular sleep schedule. I would be working with people that I respect and that respect me. I also like to enjoy my time at work and would hope my co-workers/bosses would be hardworking, yet fun to be around.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm seeking to transition out of the gig economy and into a more stable industry.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?What has come to mind for me.... I feel stuck in my career. I feel limited by my role and by my manager and the environment I'm in. I'm bored with the industry and don't feel like I'm contributing positively to society through an expression of myself through work. I want that. I want to feel more fulfilled and reach my potential and grow. I've forgotten what excites me. I find myself wanting to run from this job rather than to something that I can identify would be worth my time and energy.
What do you want instead?I'm feeling listless a bit. It's affecting all aspects of my life. I don't spend much time with my friends as I used to. I'm saving money by being at this job because I'm living alone with family, with comes with its own challenges. I'm not happy and spending way too much time on the workplace dynamics and environment than I am on anything else that truly excites me.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be learning and growing. I would be contributing to people, society in a positive way. I would have a sense of feeling that I'm doing what I'm on this earth to do.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Cliche, but... I am feeling stuck. I want to regain confidence in myself and I'm not sure where to go next. It seems like I am continuing to run into dead ends. There has been *some* traction in the last week or so, and I want to continue that momentum. I need help essentially because I feel isolated in my career and somewhat in my life.

I am Director of Advancement for a nonprofit. I will be leading a team of 8. My CEO is extremely supportive, but I have some high goals to hit in order to receive the promotion that was promised within 2 years.
What do you want instead?When i overwork, i neglect my family and my health. I have young children and they need me to be attentive in the few hours that I have with them. Husband is the homemaker, and it hurts him when i don't love my job, because we both secretly wish the roles could be reversed.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Happy in career equals happy in life! They are deeply intertwined in my opinion.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Today, I had a meeting with one of my new team members. She had so much to complain about, and i dont like how I handled the conversation. I did the empathetic, people-pleasing thing. It was great that i made her comfortable to open up to me, but it felt like my old ways, and I want to be a better leader this time around.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I'm unhappy with the career I chose - video editing and production, and see no future in it. The thought of pursuing further work in this industry fills me with dread.
What do you want instead?Especially now that I'm unemployed, I feel utterly directionless and lack a sense of purpose. I have enough savings to support myself for the time being, but don't feel financially stable. This stops me from dating, pursuing new hobbies and interests, and makes me feel ashamed due to stigma and societal expectations. I'm very unhappy not knowing what I want to do next. The process of choosing a new path, starting from scratch, and finding a job is overwhelming.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would feel a sense of purpose in my work and importance at the organization, ideally doing something good for the world. My job would be relevant for decades to come, and carry less risk of unemployment than Entertainment. Basically I want to make enough to support myself, contribute to a retirement fund, and invest WITHOUT feeling dead inside.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I need help choosing a new career based on personal strengths and going through the steps to find relevant jobs. I haven't looked for one since landing my first job right out of undergrad.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have been an entrepreneur in the film production industry since 2010 and am interested in changing industries. Although I know my skills are very transferrable, I'm having challenges figuring out where I fit in - and getting noticed. Also, I am thinking about taking a Project Management certification course at UCLA Extension - but not sure it would be worth it for me at this point. Also, I have been working from home since 2010 - and would prefer remote or hybrid work - a little worried I'm limiting myself.
What do you want instead?I'm in a unique position where I can take my time sorting out the right opportunity but I want to get cracking to save for my future. I take care of my 94 year old (vibrant) mother so working from home is important to me.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd be happy to be excited about a new challenge, something I have a drive for.
What is causing you to seek help right now?What I really want to wrap my head around is how I can apply my experience and skills to other opportunities that may not be in my industry.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Most recently I was SVP of Product & Engineering at a Series B startup. Layoffs in January, myself included. I've sent 134 applications, landed 21 interviews, made it to late stages for the majority of them. I've noticed that I a) can't seem to convey executive presence during interviews, and b) poorly articulate my PM know-how during interviews as well. This culminates in me going from frontrunner to crash out in most of these processes. I need help to change that.
What do you want instead?Fewer camps for the kids. No summer vacation. Less dinners out. Those kinds of things. Still have my sense of humor and self-worth, and the family unit is tight.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I am happy in my career. The alternatives aren't realistic: F1 driver, pro golfer, or IMOCA yachtsman.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?The biggest challenge with my current role is that I feel like my work is not very meaningful and end up only executing 10% of the work put forward - in general, there is a feeling that the work doesn't add much value. As I look to job openings I am unsure of where to go and what direction to go next. I have been contemplating returning to school for more education, but I don't know if that is valuable at this stage.
What do you want instead?Outside of work, I have a great life, it does impact my work life quite a bit and leaves me unmotivated and paralyzed to some degree on future direction.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would like to get up and be excited about the work I am doing and the value I am adding to an organization and I would like to see my career grow with additional responsiblities and salary.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel like I am at a crossroads in my career direction and am hoping someone in a coaching capacity could assist with some actionable ideas and maybe exercises to help me clarify a future direction. I am hoping to have a coach that has good experience navigating their career and moving up to the next level within an organization.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Fulfillment. I'd like to be working in a job that challenges me but also feels fulfilling and meaningful, like I'm making a difference in the world. One of the biggest issues I've had lately as a Real Estate agent is the work that feels fruitless, hosting open house after open house, not picking up clients, the monotony of no's that demoralizes you over time.
What do you want instead?Well, lately I've been so unmotivated as an agent that I haven't put much effort at all into my business, and I need to turn my financial situation around in a hurry.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Just better overall, more happiness and a sense of accomplishment and purpose. Most of our waking hours during the week are devoted to a job, so to be happy in my career is very significant to me.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?(1) Career narrative: selecting opportunities to carve a path that makes sense (2) Maximize earning potential to provide a very comfortable life for my kids (3) Ensure the continuity of the family business founded by my father and grandfather
What do you want instead?We are expecting our first child in a couple of months. Living in New York, where costs are astronomically high and will only increase as our family grows, means that I need to increase my earnings to cover future needs. I am also interested in switching industries to align more with my interests.

I would manage my time more effectively by making quicker decisions about what to work on, focusing on tasks that align with my long-term vision. When I am happy, I am more open to helping others and feel a greater sense of fulfillment.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am seeking coaching to gain clarity on the multiple options I currently have on the table. I've been overthinking these choices for a long time and feel I've lost some perspective that an external viewpoint could provide. I struggle with decision paralysis and find it difficult to make definitive choices. Additionally, I believe a good coach would offer accountability and help me validate my internal assumptions.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I work in corporate finance at a large financial institution full time. It's a great company with great benefits, attractive compensation, and a solid work life balance for someone in this line of work. So it's extremely comfortable, but at the same time I know with 100% certainty it's not what I'm supposed to be doing with my professional career. However all those reasons listed makes it very difficult to make a change since it's so comfortable. I have a side hustle health coaching business that I'm slowly building, but there are a lot of question marks.
What do you want instead?It's starting to significantly impact my life. I have this constant pit in my stomach because I feel like I'm running out of time to make a change as there are a lot of big life commitments on the horizon that I'm worried may lock me into my currently lifestyle. I'm 36 and my wife and I are trying to have kids and potentially buy a property over the next year. I can't let my career situation hold us back from what we want to do, but at the same time I know if I don't make a change soon I'll just become more and more unhappy.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'm not scared of hard work at all, but I also want to make my own hours and I'm sick of taking orders from other people. I hate working in an office environment and I don't think people are supposed to live their lives stapled to a desk staring at a computer screen and attending pointless meetings all day. I want to make a real impact with my work, bur also make a lot of money to allow my family and I to do a lot of fun things.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I believe I'm at a pretty critical point in my personal / professional life where if I don't figure out how to make a change now, i'll be trapped in my current career for the rest of my life. One of my biggest fears in life is getting to the end of the road and not being proud or fulfilled in my life's work, and I know that's how I would feel if I stayed on my current path.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like to feel confident enough in the current state and prospective growth of my business to go all in on it some time during the first half of 2025.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I work at a large financial institution full time and while I'm very lucky to have the job, I know I'm in the wrong career and I can't take it for much longer. That being said it's comfortable and provides an attractive salary and work life balance, which is very hard to give up. However the work is very unfulfilling and I hate working in a corporate office environment, so I can't settle for that.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Where do I begin ... I am in the midst of a career change expedited by Covid and feel lost. I have been self employed for the past 10 years and now find myself needing to find a more stable career and income but feel like I haven't made any progress. I've been applying to job listings for months and haven't even been given the opportunity to interview. I must be doing something wrong.
What do you want instead?I'm often less present and more irritable. I have less energy than I'd like and feel a cloud of anxiety following me throughout my day which makes it difficult for me to focus and amplifies the feeling.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be more present and available for my friends and family. I would have the energy and means to tackle other challenges that I have been putting off. I would also feel ready to act on big life decisions that i have been putting off like getting married and having children.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Something has to give, I want the life I envision for myself and what i've been doing up to this point isn't working.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I worked at a betting company that specialized in competitive video gaming for eight years, and my role within the company changed substantially during that time. I have built a skill set around internal and external communications and marketing that I have grown to resent due to the superficial and often exploitative practices that are necessary to be good at the job. I am confident in my skill set, but I don't know how to transition these skills into new areas that will allow me to feel better about what I'm doing and confident in my long term growth. Additionally, I love living in Los Angeles and do not want to take so many steps back that my ability to maintain a decent quality of life is in jeopardy, but I also don't know how to convince employers to look past the negative connotations that often stem from working in gambling as well as a general lack of understanding around professional video gaming as a whole to allow me to put my skills towards a new challenge.
What do you want instead?I have battled with clinical depression and anxiety my entire life, and the culmination of all of the challenges listed above has left me feeling drained constantly. Moving from content creation (a field I enjoyed but see little future in) to marketing (a field with many opportunities but one I actively resent) made me feel hollow, and I loathed having to talk about my career when interacting with new people. This led to substantial burnout that has made it very difficulty to get back into the swing of things and push myself as hard as I need to to attain new job opportunities, especially given my lack of knowledge on how I can transition in a way I'd feel good about. I need to find a way to energize myself through finding a path I can believe in, but as I'm still feeling lost nearly 8 months after my former company closed its doors, everything in my life has gotten harder, leaving me struggling to keep myself afloat the way I need to to fix my current employment situation.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I were happy with my career, I'd have more confidence in myself and my long term prospects as a person and professional. I'd have enough financial stability to live my life here in a city that hosts so many people who mean the world to me and actually be able to spend time with them without stressing about the cost or a potential work ping taking me away from the moments that matter most. I'd have enough energy at the end of the day to pursue my creative passions rather than feeling guilty about every moment I'm not seeking out new jobs.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have been struggling with burnout for a considerable period of time such that my job hunt has not been nearly as efficient or effective as it needs to be. I need someone who can help me find a path I can believe in and put my energy into with confidence. I need more knowledge on how my skills can be transferred into new career paths and hope that my previous experiences will not limit my potential. I need ways in which I can be held accountable so I do not drown in the day-to-day difficulties that come with feeling like I'm constantly letting myself down.

For starters, I am 56 years old and stuck in a rut working as a litigation assistant for personal injury law firms, negotiating medical lien reductions, settlement and light drafting of demands in addition to other clerical duties amd I am miserable. I graduated with a Business degree from USC and started out in highly competitive junior executive positions at major hollywood studios, but aged out of that and sort of slipped into the rut that I am in now, despite the fact that I am a creative, sales oriented person by nature.
What do you want instead?Everything has been negatively impacted.

I'm at the point in my career where I either want to i) be able to enjoy my life or ii) be making significant progress towards my retirement savings goal. I am also in a situation which doesn't have significant upside / asymmetric risk. I feel I have a very marketable skillset and am not maximizing it.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?The biggest challenge I have when it comes to my career is finding a job that I will truly enjoy and not end up hating in a few months. I have never worked a job that I truly loved or even wanted. I tried real estate for a while but I just knew in my heart, that it was not for me. I have a degree from Cal Poly Pomona in Business Administration with an emphasis in Entrepreneurship, but I have not yet found an avenue to use it.
What do you want instead?Because I have never had a path or vision to a career, my confidence has struggled in many ways, especially as I get older. Because my confidence struggles at times, so does my relationships, health, and happiness in general. I want to begin dating again, but it is hard when I am almost 30 still working as a server in a bowling alley. I want to have a career that I can support more than just myself.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I think if I were happy in my career, my life outside of work might be easier. I believe in the saying, "if you have a career, you wont have to work a day in your life." While a career requires hard work and discipline, I believe that I have those qualities and plan to continue improving them.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel like I have been stuck in the same place since graduating and I feel like I just need someone with experience that I have been seeking from my friends, family, and colleagues. I believe in the power of coaching in all aspects of life, and this is evident in my bowling career. Before paying for a coach, I was a one handed-no thumb bowler, stuck at a 160 average for about a year. Once I hired a coach, I changed my whole approach and became a two-hander and I am almost a scratch bowler in about 8 months.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Since graduating I have had an unorthodox career. I joined a company as a founding engineer, which was acquired in just 6 months. I worked for the acquiring company for 18 months and quit in order to pursue employment in the US or start my own business. I have done freelance work since. As a result, my application/interview skills are poor and I have not been able to pass to an interview stage for any job. The challenge I face right now is finding a company that is willing and able to sponsor a visa for my current background. I'm not sure where to look or how to self myself in my resumes/cover letters to get in the door.
What do you want instead?Since quitting my job I have been overwhelmed by stress and uncertainty. Watching my savings slowly dwindle, I became more stressed and started doubting myself, leading to low moods. I have also developed negative emotions towards programming (the main task in my work) These low moods have affected those around me, especially my girlfriend, who broke up with me a week ago.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'll answer in two parts. first what my career goals are and then what my life separate from my career would look like. My next job would be a Software engineering role at a FAANG company, with visa sponsorship, paying sufficiently to enjoy life in Los Angeles. The job would be WFH optional with an office with great mentors for the next step of my career. My life around my job would be centered around maintaining/improving my mental and physical health. I would be living in LA with a partner and planning a future with kids without the concerns of financial hardship. The biggest change from now would just be that my career would provide me with the freedom to choose where I live and have mentors to help guide my career.
What is causing you to seek help right now?The breakup with my girlfriend has lead me to examine why I was feeling so low and defeated. I have realised that this choice to move to the US has been more difficult than I thought and that I do not feel well equipped to tackle the challenge. I have also realised that moving to the US is something I want to do, and I am committed to finding a satisfactory solution.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I'm generally unhappy in my current company. I was demoted 10 months ago and have been attempting to get a new position. I've been on several interviews but have been unable to secure a position. I also have serious concerns about my industry and whether it will succeed in the future.
What do you want instead?I have good and bad days, but I'm generally optimistic. However, I've noted an increased negativity in my general outlook on life. I have gained significant weight over the last several years, have a poorer diet, and exercise less. Financially, we have never been in a stronger position. We have a fully funded 6-month emergency fund, no high-interest debt, and significant assets.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I derive a large sense of purpose from my career. I believe I would be much happier.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm considering an industry change, and I'm not sure how to navigate that process.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I was recently laid off after 25 years at the same company. I'm in the market for a new role doing the same thing I had been doing (product management), but I'm not getting interviews based on my applications. I've gone through multiple rounds of resume rewrites/linkedin profile optimizations with different companies but haven't seen much improvement.
What do you want instead?I've tried to remain optimistic about the job search, but it has been difficult because I'm not making the progress I think I should be.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I've generally been very happy with my career (hence the 25 year tenure at the same company) and am anxious about returning to the security of having a job.
What is causing you to seek help right now?It's been almost 3 months since I was laid off and I'm starting to get pretty discouraged. I have career coaching through my former employer, but I don't feel like I'm getting much value out of that.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have been working in the financial services industry for about 3 years now and just haven't been able to stick anywhere or succeed. When I put my mind to something I'm always successful, except for now, unfortunately. I'm struggling to figure out if I should stay on the career path I'm on or pivot.
What do you want instead?I'm not at all where I wanted to be right now. I see all my peers who are nepotism babies either not working and traveling the world, or being spoon-fed a job that pays them incredibly well by their parents. I feel like my relationships suffer because I can usually offer everything someone is looking for other than being a true provider. The money is not coming in and it just feels like my life lacks any purpose.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be doing something I either really love and making decent money or something I can tolerate and making a really high level of income. If I were to be able to have both, I would be stunned.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel stuck.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I want to make a career pivot. I was a union actor and singer (SAGAFTRA, AEA) in my 20s and early 30s, and I was self employed with a competitive college admissions counseling practice for many years as a way to earn income. I taught writing and SATs for high end boutique companies in Manhattan, like Brownstone Tutors and CATES Tutors, and designed courses for Kaplan Foundation. Two partners and I created an LLC around 2019 (my bio: www.cloudpathconsulting.com/our-team), but the business shut down during Covid. The partnership disbanded and I haven't rebuilt. Now I want to get into development of shows for a streamer (Apple TV, Disney, Hulu), and I want to identify an open role in the right department (possibly first as an executive assistant until something else opens up). My understanding is that these roles are not always advertised and often come through networking (through an alumni network for example). I'd like to work for a person or team who has mentorship in mind with a clear path for advancement, and I need help identifying who that might be and where. I feel like I'm starting from the bottom at age 42, which gives me self doubt, but I don't want to let that get in the way of a career path I feel I could be good at. (There are a couple of other paths I'm interested in as well, including A&R for a music label, working for a nonprofit like As You Sow or the Sustainable Investments Institute to combat income inequality, or working for a proxy advisory firm like ISS or Glass Lewis. I think working for a time at an advisory firm could give me an interesting education in business, which I could then take with me into a role at a network for example.)
What do you want instead?I am worried about running out of savings with big expenses coming up (like my brother's wedding in Spain and egg freezing in Brazil). When I become too overwhelmed, I can tend to freeze and become avoidant, and I can't afford to go there. I need to move forward. I sometimes feel judged by my family and friends for not accomplishing more. I think they had big expectations of me when I was just out of school, and I haven't met those. You wouldn't believe the number of people who say things like, "I don't know, that seems really hard to get into" when I tell them what I'd like to pivot into. I think when people hear that I've done acting and tutoring, that path doesn't tend to elicit a lot of respect, so for them "television development executive" is a giant nonsensical leap. In my mind, this pivot makes perfect sense because I've spent years honing relevant skills, as the job entails working with writers to improve scripts and attaching actors, directors, producers, etc, to bring a project to fruition. It's entrepreneurial. I'm hoping that the people who actually work in that field will recognize and respect my experiences, but I know I'll need to present myself well in my resume and cover letters to get interviews. To help with this, I recently took a class through UCLA Extension on TV Development, where I practiced pitching show ideas, listening to pitches, reading scripts and giving writers notes (actually the final class session is tonight). I'm planning to sign up for a screenwriting course next for the spring semester. I have been considering getting a master's degree in creative writing and literature--possibly from Harvard Extension, so that I could work while I pursue the degree. As someone who graduated from HBS, I'm wondering if you might have feedback about that.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Generosity: I think I would be a lot more cheerful and relaxed in general. I'd be able to be a more supportive friend and sister, daughter, etc. I have felt so stretched thin the last few years. I'd be able to fly to family holidays and events, and I'd be able to buy dinner or coffee for my friends and colleagues when I want to without having to worry about it. I think I'd feel better about myself if I had the means to be generous. Financial security: I would like to experience a steady paycheck with health and retirement benefits for the first time--that is just not a thing when working in the arts or freelance. That would enable me to work with a financial planner and stop feeling so behind, which would take a lot of stress and weight off my shoulders. I could save for a house downpayment. Freedom: Ideally, I would like to have a career with the flexibility to work in a hybrid arrangement--and remotely when I want to travel at times (and perhaps sublet my apartment for a month). I'd like to be doing meaningful work--a mix of creative and practical--in an environment where I can learn new skills, work with a mentor, and where there is a clear and discussed path for advancement. Community: I want to be able to meet interesting and friendly people at work and develop friendships--and maybe even someone to date, because Lord knows the dating apps are rough. I might hire a matchmaker actually haha. And try to go on more dates. It's tough to prioritize that when I'm in the middle of a job search. Family planning: It would be great if the benefits at work included contributions toward fertility procedures, since I am freezing my eggs right now. (I believe Apple TV has the fertility benefit but it may be the only one within the streamer landscape--I'm not sure and I'm not sure how to find out.) Continuing education: I'd like to get a master's degree in writing, so it would be great if my job would contribute to educational costs for advanced degrees. Balance: It would be lovely if I had the work life balance to be able to continue my creative pursuits. I love to sing and would like to be able to do some voiceover work on the side--I'd purchase a particular microphone I've been dreaming of for the last few years and build out my home studio further (I have put together a good setup already but have plans to expand). Singing is a sacred practice for me, just like writing. Boundaries: I would want to maintain an understanding that there are times when I will not respond to the phone--after 8pm and on Sundays for example. Physical activity: I try to take a Pilates class twice a week and walk for an hour twice a week, so I want to continue that. I'd like to be able to find ways to get out of the office and get some sunshine and move during the work day or I will go nuts sitting all day every day. This is a major reason I didn't take an office job when I was young. So things like taking calls while I walk, meetings at a cafe, etc. Gratitude: I'd like to show up as positive and grateful a greater percentage of the time. I'd love for my work environment to be a supportive place filled with people who genuinely want to see me succeed--a philosophy of "a rising tide raises all ships."
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have felt stuck for several years, not making progress and lonely without a lot of support. I don't have a partner or kids, my family is far away, and my friends are busy starting their own families. For a while, I felt like I was in quicksand. Now I feel like I'm close to solid ground again. I could use motivation, encouragement, and sound practical advice. I'd like to experience the feeling that someone is on my team and believes in me.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have around 9 years of experience with sales and marketing. Following the recent acquisition of my family company Cosmos Food, where I served as Head of Marketing, I'm seeking employment in tech or media but am facing the following challenges: - Both tech and media are in the worst job market since the dotcom boom. - My sales background is in industrial lighting, which doesn't get received well in tech and media. I also didn't work with much KPIs other than an annual quota with my US founding sales team had to meet together. - For media sales roles, I have some leeway because my recent Head of Marketing background was mainly digital based, which align with my targeting for digital media sales roles. However, I'm still not getting very many interview opportunities. - For future marketing roles, I don't know where I would slot into a company because my background is mostly social media and I never really worked in a larger team. In my previous role, I ran my own solo team with the help of contractors. Also, though I have some marketing KPIs to talk about, the company was acquired before the marketing had the chance to really grow the brand and revenue, so my work wasn't that impactful. The company was acquired mainly because another company needed the factory to kickstart their own operations. I could stay in the food & bev industry but would like to ideally move into a good AI startup because this space is likely to enable much more impact in the long run but I haven't landed any interview opportunities for this in the past half year. Ideally, media sales would be a good stepping stone toward this given what I have to work with but I've been struggling in landing offers even with struggling companies due to how competitive the job market is right now. My resume currently is not getting me many interview opportunities. Most came from direct emails and LinkedIn DMs. Current resume: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/slzz2tyod8bo1gfjvtxv7/3.15.24-Head-of-Revenue-Resume.pdf?rlkey=lxkxvx5qbkkequvst84yc7z2w&dl=0 In the long run, I'd like to start my own business or be an early stage employee but I don't know whether I should stick to sales or marketing. I thought sales would be better because it would let me build a large network while getting paid much better while at it, but I'm also concerned that I could burn out in the role.
What do you want instead?Because I don't have a job, I am stuck living with my parents in the suburbs. I've been in this situation for a long time so it really affected my social life. I would like to move into the city once I have a job and income.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Realistically next step would be getting a good enough income to live comfortably in the city. After this, if I could really get into entrepreneurship with the experience I gain in my next roles, I would ideally be working a lot with inspiring work that is able to provide a comfortable lifestyle for my future family.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am not able to land many interviews and no jobs in the areas I am interested in. I am wondering if a resume and LinkedIn revision could help despite the abnormal job market. I also believe the story I tell during interviews may be improved for better results in interviews.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I became highly specialized in one area of project management. My focus had been on Home Entertainment and print, both of which are going away. I was downsized last year and have had an unsuccessful job hunt for the past year. I am trying to figure out next steps or areas I could pivot to, to become employed.
What do you want instead?My past relationship ended before I became unemployed. I am living off savings and starting to feel isolated and dealing with some depression. I feel un-hirable.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I have never really enjoyed any of the jobs I have held, so not sure what that looks like.
What is causing you to seek help right now?It has been a year, and I am still looking. My fear is, if I do not change up what I am doing, I will still be unemployed a year from now.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?- Most of my opportunities have come from being tapped by someone who knew my work. Has resulted in many different roles which the adventurer/learner in me has loved. But at this point in my life, I want to be deliberate and specifically choose, what I do next. - Have been at Optum for last 13 years, in current role for 2-3 years. Have loved lots about Optum but in a challenging space right now. Ready for a change. - Looking for someone to review my experience, understand when I felt my best and what drives me and then recommend roles and perhaps even organizations that would be a good fit - Interested in healthcare, nonprofits and potentially starting my own thing
What do you want instead?Challenges in current role have resulted in additional stress, and caused self-doubt (which I may be starting to move past now).
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Less stress and frustration. Grateful to have strong connection between my work and helping to make the world a better place. Would feel lighter, free, at ease. Would be setting good example for my kids.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have had an incredible journey, and mostly in educational leadership and more recently in an arts and cultural institution. Right now, I feel the biggest challenges are: -Getting on top of/healing from the recent abrupt, political and unkind departure from the last institution - much healing and a reset button needs to be tapped -While I feel like I am 30 years old, I believe that some who are seeing my years of experience think that I am too old, and I also know that in the field of education, I am at the top of the pay scale, so some public school districts in particular are not considering me. They can find younger, new talent at a much lower price. -I must say that because I am so nonprofit experienced, I do not attract a for-profit institution, and I would love the opportunity to work beyond nonprofit; I know that I have the skills to do so, and definitely the drive -- a "workaholic" at best, and I would truly offer a wonderful set of skills for any institution, yet I feel my resume is too school marmish...is that a word? -I believe that educational institutions today are on such a frantic search for leadership that they are not taking the time to truly seek their leaders. I have had 8 of the most discouraging "interviews" recently with public schools where all I did was sit in front of a computer video that was recording and answer questions. I never met a soul, and the school district has never connected with me on a personal basis. Or, more recently two school districts had me come meet in person. One interview did not even introduce themselves -- there were 16 people sitting around three tables, with me solo at the fourth, and the person directly across from me held up her fingers 3-2-1 on each question to let me know that I had only three minutes to answer...it was a distraction, cold, and truly something I should have responded to in the moment -- would we do this to parents visiting us in schools? Would we hold up our fingers to limit a learner? Oh my goodness. It is sad. It could be why Colorado is ranking so low. If that is how they are choosing their next leaders... -So, I want to explore more opportunities beyond education, but how does one do that when they look so heavily education-back-grounded? -I also know that I have a good 15-20 years more work in me -- and yet, I want it to be fulfilling, fun -- yes, of service, but one that truly sustains me spiritually, emotionally -- I need to find joy in the work, and I need to heal from the last experience with a Board Chair.
What do you want instead?-There is obviously a pressure to find work as a single woman-- so I am looking for one that has a salary in the range of where I have been, yet one that provides benefits. Rolling the dice without any medical, dental, etc. insurance the past four years in my nonprofit work is just not sustainable or safe -I took 8 days of vacation in the past 4.5 years -- and that is quite telling of my drive, fear, etc. I have done that throughout my career, and to a fault; a better balance is needed -I've raised an amazing young man who is now 23, and for the first time ever, he is stuck too -- because I am struggling emotionally, I do not feel like I know how to best offer him good advice either; he is living back at home, having left his junior year of university -I would love to be in a relationship, yet my focus has been on work, work, work--without looking up and out -My health is good -- I am active, especially in tennis about 4 times a week --but I have put on weight that I have never had before which impacts my self confidence for sure; I feel it is stress-related and post menopausal for sure -I am usually very optimistic -- to a fault some say, or at least my last Board Chair told me that I am too positive, and that sometimes I am "too transparent" --one Board member called me an "Oppressive Optimist" --wha?!?! -I moved through a tough divorce about 12 years ago, and with that lost my retirement. So, I must find fulfilling work and financial stability; I do have a financial advisor, and I was on a very good path until this most recent departure from my employment. -I am weary and need some bright spots again in my life. I need to live life more.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be such a gift to others. I would have even more energy (I already have a lot!). I would be of service for others to get to that point in their own lives too. I would have a better life balance, and I would live life again. There was a time when I had this -- I was at the peak of my career, felt so personally confident, was very fit, active and traveled. If I were happy in my career and had more security that things were going to be okay, I would relax more and be even more present and there for others. I would be an even better mom, a source of inspiration for my adult-aged son and I would be out and about active and living life to its fullest. I was there once -- I want to do it again, and then some!
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am beginning to get scared. I have never struggled this hard to find work. I have made it a goal to apply for at least one job a day for every day that I have not worked, and I am actually shocked and dismayed that I am where I am almost four months later. What I moved through in the past six months (and while being coached by an Executive Coach at the time) has taken a true toll on me. I have lost a lot of confidence, and I am not the usual me. I feel like I found my voice, spoke to it, and then it backfired on me! I feel like the time clock is ticking and that it does not look good to be out of work without a job. So even my LinkedIn is not updated, as I hate the idea of putting it out there that I am jobless. I really feel that I have a unique set of skills and a strong background, but my personal confidence is very low right now. I am quite discouraged. I feel very vulnerable and low right now. I sometimes get the feeling that others know something that I don't know because I know how hard I have worked in the jobs I have had, and I know the good that I have done, yet --why does it feel that no one is seeing or valuing that right now? I am wondering if where I am looking - on job Board's like LinkedIn, Andrew Hudsons and some other job sites like Indeed, school district websites, etc. are the right places to look? I feel like some jobs are just posted to be posting, and that many are filled within and only posted to check a box. I know that I can be quite detailed and/or too loquacious at times -- perhaps this is preventing me? I am very open to getting all of this fixed and under control, and read excellent things about your service.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have 17 years of work experience—10+ in Training & Development. I feel stuck as there is no growth in Training teams and the possibility of getting into Leadership roles is also thin. I'm pursuing my MBA from Golden Gate University (online) and wondering which elective can add more value. How do I shape up the next level of my career, should I continue to work in organizations, if yes, what role should I interview for? or should I have my own Company, if yes, what is the product/service that I should offer which can create demand.
What do you want instead?I've been stuck with my role as a Training Manager, my boss asked me to figure out what I want to do next since I cant get to the next level in her department and I couldn't find any internal job postings related to the next level of Training within my organization. I received a 5% hike this year, even though my performance has been 'regular'
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I'm able to add considerable monetary value to a company in whatever position I'm in and receive a market-standard value in return as a salary.
What is causing you to seek help right now?1. Lack of clarity in terms of what are the alternative career paths for a Training professional (apart from Coaching)

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have been a Sound Designer for more than a decade, but I find the work unfulfilling, and the stability and earning potential does not line up well with my current stage in life. I want to find a career that is more intellectually stimulating and stable. This is definitely a "second-act" situation, as I am in my late 40's. I am excited to put in the time to make this change, but I want to do my best to ensure I put that time towards a realistic and worthwhile goal.
What do you want instead?I am recently divorced, which is part of the reason I am looking for the career change. I had been cruising along as the primary parent and secondary earner, working part time, and now that I am on my own I want to make sure I am able to adequately provide for my kids, as well as set a good example for them. I would say the "rest of my life" is what has put me in the position to face these challenges, as opposed to the challenges themselves impacting the rest of my life.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would have a steady job that I found fulfilling and it would allow me to be more financially stable and take more pride in what I do. I would enjoy the challenges of my work and find them exciting instead of dreading the tedium of my job.
What is causing you to seek help right now?My recent divorce has put me in a position to want and need a new career path, but I am unsure how to proceed.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Defining the next steps of what to do "when I grow up." I have had a non-traditional career path that previously blocked traditional corporate opportunities. I now have the opportunity to define a new role/responsibilities within a new company, with full support from my boss who is also transitioning.
What do you want instead?These past challenges resulted in severe economic instability for a long time. I was finally able to transition to FTE roles within the past few years, which allowed me to get out of debt and start saving again. I now have an open door to a new role that I want to take advantage of. Otherwise, I am happy, healthy and living a good life, but I am ready for more.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?What is now, but with more economic opportunity to make up for the past (build savings & investments) and the ability to invest further in life balance/QOL activities (travel, hobbies, owning a home).
What is causing you to seek help right now?Open door opportunity to move to a new and growing company, define my own role/title and be brought in by a trusted colleague.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?At this point, it's the fact that I am attempting to change careers at 42 years of age. I was a practicing attorney in New York for several years (I now live in LA), but I truly hated it. I've always loved writing and wrote a comedy web-series, on the side, in 2013. It ended up being optioned by Warner Bros. in 2016. That is when I decided to try my hand at television writing, and in 2019, I quit my job and worked on a few projects full time. Unfortunately, I have not been able to sell one of those shows, or get staffed on a show, and am now looking to fall back on something more traditional. But not law, if I can avoid it.
What do you want instead?These challenges are mostly just affecting my finances. My wife, who has been very supportive, works and makes good money, but we have two young children, with the youngest preparing to go to day-care in January. So we will need extra income in order for things to not become too tight.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I am mostly a happy person, but working as an attorney was just not for me. Spending 10 to 11 hours a day doing something that you don't enjoy weighs you down, and that sadness/frustration can spill over into your personal relationships. I have two young kids, and I want to be my normal happy, confident self with them as often as possible, so having a career that just doesn't suck the life out of me, is extremely important.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I do not want to practice law anymore, and have tried my hand at TV writing for a few years now with some traction, but not enough to make me feel like I can make a full career out of it in the near future. Having two young kids who have added to our household expenses has made me want to seek a change, but I need help on developing a new path forward.

What do you want instead?Being underpaid sucks - since most positions were as promotions, pay was not increased adequately. Being not considered as an influencer affected my sense of happiness and self-fulfillment. My mood at work is usually transferred to my mood at home.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be energized and self-fulfilled. Would be more relaxed at home and be able to spend more time with my family (since otherwise I am constantly seeking what else to learn to succeed).

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Determining the right next step has always been difficult in my career. I feel like I have the experience to land a good opportunity (or at least be in the running), but I don't think I'm putting myself in the best position when it comes to getting my foot in the door with a resume and cover letter. I want to develop a recipe for success that will showcase the right projects and experience that I've acquired so it isn't a depressing struggle when it comes to making a change.
What do you want instead?My wife is concerned that I have more potential than my current career trajectory, which has added some extra stress over the years. I am in the process of applying to Data Analytics Master program's, but I want to find something that will put me in a good position in the meantime as I complete that degree - especially from a financial stand-point.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?It would include a fully remote opportunity that challenges with new projects and opportunities to grow my career. A lot of the stress I've been feeling these past few years about not living up to my potential would go away - it would be a huge relief.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've run out of opportunities for growth (from a financial and job duty stand-point) at my current position, so I'm looking for a new job that will provide both of these, along with providing something different as I transition into a Data Analytics focused career path. I've been applying for a few months, but I haven't had any luck getting one interview. I'm concerned my resume, cover letter's and LinkedIn profile aren't catching hiring managers eye's.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am not sure what I want to pursue. But in my experiences in both working professionally and being a student, here are some challenges: -I am not being stimulated enough intellectually -I cant stand tedious, mind numbing work -I like autonomy and independence -I want to feel like a sense of accomplishment in serving others Right now I am unemployed and am amidst soul searching. I am 23 years old. I dont know what to do.
What do you want instead?Not knowing what to do is certainly dampening my mental health. I need a sense of not only financial security but significance and purpose. I need a challenge. I need to serve.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Im not sure what is unrealistic in terms of finding fulfillment in a career, and so I am afraid of setting high expectations. However, to see myself happy in life, I see myself feeling fulfilled in my career. I want to grow, feel competent, and like I am actively contributing.
What is causing you to seek help right now?For years, I have debated within myself what to do. I sought career services through college but it never felt enough. I am ready to seek out more professional grade help.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenge is defining my career. Soon after graduating college in 2018, I joined a tech startup called Everlaw as a sales development representative. I initially really liked it--I not only felt like I belonged there, but that I was a key member of the sales team. I earned the promotion to account executive after just over a year, and then covid hit. I began my tenure as an AE during the pandemic in 2020. Long story short, I burned out, felt unmotivated to try let alone improve at my job, and decided I wanted to pursue a career as a recording artist in music. Nearly two years after quitting Everlaw, and following a handful of short-lived tenures at service jobs, I am determined to find a role at a progressive company that offers respect, stability, good pay, and opportunity for growth. I'm interested in data analytics and marketing roles, and to a lesser extent partnership jobs. I haven't had a real job in a long time, so I struggle with low self-esteem, uncertainty about what to do, a significant resume gap, and limited experience.
What do you want instead?The challenges of not having a career direction are negatively impacting me in all aspects of life including money, relationships, and happiness. Thankfully, I didn't just quit my old job without a financial safety net, so I can afford to pay my bills and enjoy a decent quality of life, but I'm really struggling with feeling listless and useless.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I see myself working at a progressive, modern company that values me and allows me to be myself. My job is project-based, allowing me to take on different projects over time. My role includes data analytics, uncovering trends, presenting findings, and developing improvement plans. I work with a supportive team that I collaborate with to achieve clear objectives. I have a lot of flexibility–as long as I get the work done, I can work on my own terms within reason. I go into the office three times a week. I can take vacation without feeling guilty. I still make time to do yoga, hike, and make music.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I need professional support with my career search. I'm almost 28 and I quit my only real career job nearly two years ago. I'm eager to plant myself at the right company and grow there. I need the networking opportunities, accountability, and strategic support from a professional career coach. I know I am gifted and can contribute to a team at the right place, and I really want to start adding value to a company I support.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Right now the biggest challenge I have in regards to my career is finding motivation and purpose in the work that I am doing. I want to be passionate about what I do and currently I am not. I am unsure if I want to continue with my current career path or try to pivot and do something different.
What do you want instead?I think there is certainly a negative impact on my mental health because of the lack of fulfillment that I feel in my job. I feel like I am wasting so much of my time and life doing something that I don't enjoy and these negative thoughts bring me down. I think this imbalance also makes having relationships difficult because I often don't enjoy talking about what I do and work is a regular topic of conversation.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I was happy in my career I think my life would feel more fulfilled. I would wake up with purpose and work hard to achieve the goals that I find meaningful. I think it would allow me to be truly happy in all aspects of my life.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I want to gain clarity on what direction I should take with my career. I want to explore different possibilities so I have a better understanding of what my options are and see if there is anything that could be a better fit. Then I want support and guidance as I work towards that goal.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I graduated from George Washington University in 2020 with a BA in Political Communication. After college, I moved to LA to pursue a dance career. Obviously a dance career can be slow, with many dancers and not many jobs. I have been serving tables to pay the rent. At this point, I'm looking for a more professional, entry-level career in the entertainment industry. The biggest challenge is that I haven't done anything professional in years and do not know how to sell myself, apply, or network. I've been dancing, teaching dance and serving tables. All the entry-level jobs I see on websites like entertainmentcareers.net only pay minimum wage to $22/hour. I'm looking for some kind of career trajectory and to be set on a path with upward mobility.
What do you want instead?It affects everything negatively of course. I want to be intellectually stimulated, make money, and meet creative people.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Much better. I would have more money, friends, and I would feel like I'm going somewhere.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I don't know which direction to go, how to structure my resume and sell myself, how to network properly... etc.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Struggling to find meaning in the years of corporate life thus far. Find it difficult to find motivation, feels as if there is always a lack of purpose, of potential to grow mentally and in other ways. Have jumped around different job titles within the industry a few times to try different things and don't feel grounded in where I am at. Feels like lack direction in where I need to be going now altogether, and what I can contribute and be good at. One positive is that I have decided to pick an industry where the job is comparatively less stressful and feels more like a hobby but in the end it is still corporate life. (Not a big fan of fluorescent lights, meetings, and zoom calls!) But it is a really cool job. Looking for a better sense of direction and purpose/meaning, which I think is the hardest thing to find and really commit to - like an uncured case of career ADHD.
What do you want instead?The challenge is it feels like I am going through the motions without a clear sense of purpose. Need to know if something need to change or if there is away to find meaning and motivation in where I am now. I am in an industry that is not the most financially rewarding, but chose it because it allows a little more freedom, fun, and quality of life. Still, not sure that I am fully happy in where I am, if it is the mental stimulation I need, and what I'd like to contribute to the society. Tend to lean a little introverted in general, but have found it somewhat hard to be social and find motivation to build newer relationships since starting corporate life.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'm not sure because I am where I thought I wanted to be. Had grown up with a lot of academic pressure during childhood, but once that and the initial career goal was gone, I chose a path that I could at the very least enjoy and not be stressed about. Ideally, I don't think I would be working in a corporate office setting and would want to find ways to contribute more meaningfully while feeling a sense of ownership for myself and what I do.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Need a better sense of direction and impactful guidance on seeing what my options are at this point and making choices.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I'm a digital marketer and I'm pretty good at running ads on Google, YouTube, Facebook, and other platforms. However, my current role in an agency can get very demanding, stressful, and time-consuming, more than I'd like to tolerate in a job at least. I don't know if I'd be better or worse off in another marketing role as in the agency and corporate world they have a reputation for working their employees hard. I'm open to a career shift or buying a business from an owner who is retiring, too.
What do you want instead?Mental health and stress, I can't count how many times I've told my wife, "I just want to quit now!" However, my job is our primary source of income and it is good to have that steady income, though ultimately I want my real estate and CPG business my wife and I have started to take off.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?More mental sanity, more time to spend with my family, more peace of mind with additional income coming in.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've applied for lots of other marketing jobs the past year, but only resulted in a handful of introductory interviews, no offers.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am stuck. My biggest challenge is moving forward at my current place of work. I want to switch careers and grow in a new field. I am the head teacher/assistant manager at my small school abroad, and I want to move back to Los Angeles and work in a new field.
What do you want instead?It's impacting every part of my life, and forcing me to face myself and grow personally. Because the cost of living is skyrocketing, and my paycheck isn't, it's causing money troubles too. I do still enjoy teaching, but it's negatively affecting my happiness because I am not moving in my career.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I am already a relatively happy and positive person. I am sure that I am sure that I would have a deeper level of happiness and that lightness of life would return if I was more happy in my career, if I was growing and proud of what I was doing. Also, I would have a more stable bank account, and more money saved for my family's future.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I don't enjoy what I do, I am being asked to do things at work that I don't understand because I don't get the support or training needed. I don't enjoy doing finance and supply chain and the CPG world continues to be more of that. I feel overwhelmed and alone. I am only sticking with this for the money to provide with my life style and my future gamily. I don't want to go any further in my career because it's only going to be more responsibility, politics, and people management, none of which I enjoy.
What do you want instead?I let work consumer my life. I am always thinking about work that it takes away from the present. I don't enjoy what I do, I don't understand so I work late and weekends, so that takes away from working out, doing things that I enjoy on the weekend, taking a mental break from work, just overall has a negative impact on my mental health. I am so burnt out and I've only been in the workforce for 7 years but I feel as jaded as someone who has been in the industry. I
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I actually enjoyed my work, I wouldn't dread going to work. I wouldn't spend nights awake thinking about every problem, stressing about how I'm going to get it done or how I am going to learn it on my own. I would have control over my job, not my job control me.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm unhappy and don't see myself doing this for the next 30-35 years. I don't want to move up any higher in the company because I don't want to deal with the politics, people management, or any of those headaches. I don't want to be high up leader in the company (CEO, VP, Director, Manager, etc)

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am struggling to find out what I want to do with my career and have been trying to figure it out since I got laid off in April. I previously worked as a startup Product Manager, but I'm finding that I want to entertain much more creative ideas related to my passion for music. I am not sure how to navigate it all at the moment and could use a coach with more direct technology industry experience as well as a shared educational background (I have an MBA from Harvard and am also definitely subjecting myself to a bit of sunk-cost thinking there!).
What do you want instead?All of the above. I am luckily very patient and going to make sure I don't rush into something, but the uncertainty is still difficult and I would like to at the very least create some structure or process around finding the right next step.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I am not sure. I know that I need music to play a much bigger role in my life than it did over the past decade. I am really torn about whether that means folding it into my career somehow (though most of these ideas are low feasibility) OR accepting a career that provides financial security and work-life balance and then deriving meaning outside of work (which is also a bit hard for me to accept as someone who has spent their 20s working hard on things I was seemingly passionate about at the time). I also just got married and an ideal career path would involve being able to contribute to supporting a family.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I think I mostly answered above. Other sources of support are definitely incomplete (therapists are helpful but do not provide relevant actionable career advice, friends and mentors are too encouraging and also do not provide accountability, etc).

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have been employed at the same organization for 15 years. There is no room to grow here and I'd like to get into a middle management position at another organization but my interview skills need work. I feel like I'm all over the place and have lost my confidence. I'm 47 and are competing with 30 yr old candidates. I need help with my confidence and interview skills.
What do you want instead?I've been ruminating about a bad interview experience recently and have felt a little depressed. I've been feeling sorry for myself and it's affecting my work performance and I'm sure my husband is sick of listening to me complain. I don't feel any motivation at work and feel burned out.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be in a better mood and not be so frustrated and grouchy. I would look forward to challenges at work and burn out would decrease.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel like I can't progress on my own. I haven't looked for a new job since I was 30 and a lot has changed. I need help with my interview skills and how to get promoted.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?1) Job history. I’ve always been hired through a connection or by someone who knew my work and it’s worth. I’ve never been successful with the traditional application path. 2) Beliefs. I grew up in a tradition that strongly discouraged self-promotion. 3) Intimidation. I find the whole exercise overwhelming. Probably a bit of beliefs combined with some mild ADHD.
What do you want instead?1) I’m stuck in a high stress job where I’ve lost faith in the senior leaders. I don’t do them or myself any favors by staying. 2) The stress impacts my health and motivation to live life when I go home. My husband is expressing concern frequently.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?1) I have the opportunity to lead a team to do work that makes a difference by empowering people with data and information. 2) I work with an organization and leaders that have a clear vision and direction 3) I work in an organization built on high trust 4) I share open, respectful relationships with my leader and reports 5) I work in an organization that values outcomes over outputs 6) I work in an organization that respects and values people as reflected in work-life balance, hybrid work, high or unlimited PTO, and competitive compensation
What is causing you to seek help right now?1) I don’t trust my leaders. In a recent re-org, my team was laid off and I was moved laterally into an individual contributor role which combined two other roles. I said I did not want this role if the two were combined, but was put in the role anyway. Immediately following the re-org (while the proverbial blood still dripped from the axe) they announced 4 day a week return to office with Fridays as optional remote days. This made me realize that though they value employees in operations, they do not value us in the support center. 2) Our department leaders do not have a vision and direction. In fact, they are all competing and working to undermine each other. The only consistent vision is “build your empire. 3) Honesty is not valued or desired. Instead, we have meetings to craft careful messaging to other parts of the organization.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?For my whole life, I've been pursuing two careers. My professional 9-5 job in tech sales/account management and film/TV writing on the side. I've put up with a lot of less than ideal jobs hoping that they were just stop-gaps until my 'real' career takes off and have never wanted to fully commit to a 'day job'. I find my current job extremely boring and frustrating and don't feel like I'm being useful, though the money is good and that keeps me from moving. I also feel that any other job I know how to get would be the same. I need to figure out what else I'm qualified for that would give me some job satisfaction. I'm still working on my writing career and making some good progress though these things take time and there's no guarantees. At very nearly 40 I'd like to get some fulfillment and job satisfaction from my day-to-day job as well as my side project.
What do you want instead?I'm either bored of frustrated by my day-to-day work which isn't great. It's really affecting my self worth and self image. I feel stuck and a little hopeless I want to be of use and satisfied in my day to day work without giving up on my dream or taking a huge pay cut.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would wake up excited and motivated to do my daily work, I would be interested in what I'm doing, feel integral to the success of the organization and be well compensated financially. I also wouldn't feel too exhausted/drained to work on personal projects in the evening.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I don't think switching companies to a similar job role would change my situation that much but I don't know what different job roles I could apply for (and get) that would feel more fulfilling. Basically I've been coasting for too long and I don't know what's out there.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have had a great career with some amazing companies (Bain & Company, Sony/PlayStation). Since the pandemic I have been offering independent strategy consulting and interim management. I now want to pursue a career outside of "freelance consulting" again. This step and preparing for it is a "major peak to climb" and I am often postponing working on it. I am seeking help with career path options, refining my personal brand as well as having a sparring partner for identifying the right opportunities. I would love to have an intro call with you! Thank you in advance, Marc
What do you want instead?"Being frozen in the current situation" is something that impacts my happiness and positivity in life. It also starting to affect family life etc. I also have limiting believes that may hinder me in achieving my full potential.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be much happier and could enjoy family life and relationship with friends more. Our life would also become more sustainable with living in Los Angeles

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have a wide array of interests yet no North Star for the path I want to take. I have achieved paper success in the big corporate world, but have found it to leave me unfulfilled and wanting more from my work life. Ready to search for something more fulfilling professionally.
What do you want instead?Because of how much of my identity is derived from work it has had a material impact on my happiness which has bled into my relationships (mainly with my wife). On paper I have an amazing life (2 healthy, young kids, beautiful wife, material wealth, etc) but dread going to work each day.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would feel a sense of purpose and fulfillment heading into work. Work would give me energy not suck away energy. I would have flexibility on when I worked allowing me to be present and lean into being a father of 2 young children (3 and 2 months old) as well as leaning into being a better husband.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My career has been positive and rewarding so far. I feel that I'm at an important professional juncture, and am approaching a natural divergent point with my current company. I'm looking for perspective on my next steps and shoring up the confidence I need to execute on them. For more context here is my Linkedin bio - https://www.linkedin.com/in/hiawathabradley/
What do you want instead?I've had a lot of stress over the last few months especially working through budgets in the lead-up to the fiscal new year. My relationship with my wife is good, as is my health. I can't complain about money but of course, I would like to earn more.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have had great experience at a high level at every company that I've been at-- my current challenge is that I am going after roles that are more technically advanced than I may be in some aspects, which makes them difficult to attain. I was part of the tech layoffs and while I know the market is turbulent right now, I believe this is what is barring me from landing the role that I desire.
What do you want instead?I feel pretty steady in every other aspect of my life right now. Money is definitely a concern when it isn't coming in as it was, but other than that I am happy with most other aspects of life.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?One thing that was missing in my last role was direction, which made me less productive. I believe that if I have direction I am more driven to meet a goal-- I always perform my duties, but without a goal in sight, I tend to just do what is expected, not yearning to take on more.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Being unemployed for months is something that I have never dealt with before. I have always found opportunities quickly and my career has sort of unfolded effortlessly. I have been ruthlessly applying to no avail, which demonstrates to me that I need to be doing something differently, which is why I am seeking assistance.

I know that I enjoy doing sales and launching products but I am not sure what do moving forward as it pertains to looking for a new job. I have never truly interviewed and looked for a new career before and I am feeling stuck.
What do you want instead?This is creating a lot of fear for me as it pertains to the unknown moving forward. I feel that I do not feel super confident in my abilities right now even though I have had some success in the business world.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am passionate and have the energy and motivation to dive into work I love, but I struggle to identify one route or course of action. I understand that the perfect answer rarely comes to us sitting in a chair at home. Exploration and seeking new information is necessary to find a job that is a match. Moreover, I understand career paths aren't linear. That being said, I feel as if I don't have an accurate grasp of the options. If I don't know what an advertising exec, documentary film producer, peace negotiator, or Sociology PHD candidate does day to day, the pros and cons of those professions, or what are "realistic" professions to aim for, I don't know what direction to run in. I want to work hard and apply myself passionately to meaningful, challenging work, but I don't want to make a wrong choice (go to law school when it is not the right choice, etc.) that robs me of my time and energy before I reach my goal.
What do you want instead?I have worked hard to build a happy and fulfilling social life, a comfortable home, and a healthy lifestyle, but I lack a sense of purpose, inspiration, play, creativity, etc. when it comes to my professional life.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Two podcasts I listen to regularly, Diary of a CEO and Armchair Expert, spotlight people who have been incredibly successful in their careers. I want to find a profession that I would do even if I didn't need to work. I want to be inspired and driven by purpose. When I think of what drives me, several things come to mind. I love getting to know people on a deep level: to connect with them and understand them. As I've grown up, I've realized that my desire and drive for this level of connection is more central to my day-to-day happiness and fulfillment than it may be for others. I'm not a super charismatic, extroverted, bold person. In fact, I can be quite introverted and anxious, but I love forming connections with others. I also love to solve problems. My best subjects in school were math, english, and french. I realized that I loved the investigative work english and french required--reading between the lines, unearthing metaphors and symbolism, and translating. I love nothing more than the challenge of understanding a problem in its complex entirety--to consider all perspectives, ask why, question current systems, and identify new and better methods. I have no fear of questioning the status quo, but I innately do so with a deep awareness of the feelings, needs, and motives of others, a desire to encourage and maintain harmony and empathy, and a desire to include everyone--therefore improving for all. l also love to create and be creative. I would like to find a career that combines these interests.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I recently left my position at the Milken Institute and would like to learn tools and skills to be more purposeful in my current job search.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?- the long hours I worked (sometimes 100+ / week) - not finding the work fulfilling - not having autonomy - not being recognized for my contribution / not feeling valued - feeling micromanaged - having to do the menial tasks for really long hours - not having strong relationships with my co-workers (really small firm and I was the youngest one; all the others were older)
What do you want instead?- it impacted my life in a huge way- my relationships, mental and physical health, and happiness all dwindled; my motivation also declined dramatically - It made my overall outlook on life a lot more pessimistic and sad - I did have more money but I felt like spending it all on lavish vacations to feel like the hours I was working was worth it all - but it never did feel worth it
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would have more autonomy and control over my schedule. I would work my own hours and during those hours I would put 100% effort into it because I would be so interested and passionate about what I am doing that I don't even realize the time passing. I would have great relationships with my colleges and be proud to be a part of the team. I would put in a lot of hard work but if I managed my time well, I could fit in daily workouts and still manage to hang out with friends and co-workers over the weekend. I would be so passionate about the work that I am doing that I am excited for the week to come and in my free time would be thinking how I can make the company even better and what new ideas I can bring to the table. I would be optimistic and excited about what the future of the company could be.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I just quit my job ~3 weeks ago (I was doing investment banking) because I had had enough. I was so miserable and thought maybe my life had to be miserable and I had to work 24/7 if I wanted to make good money. Eventually, I was so unhappy that I decided I would rather be making 1/2 of what I was making and be happier. Now, I am determined to find a new career ASAP so that I feel happiness again and feel excited to wake up in the morning and start my day. I want to feel excited again for what lies ahead. I want to take a leap of faith and really push myself to see what I can accomplish.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Periods of slow business or insufficient client work, as I run my own business Spreading oneself thin, having to cover business development/marketing and sales activities, at the same time as also covering admin tasks and delivering business services Some of the marketing activities are too costly (e.g. fees for joining networking groups, attending conferences, etc.) This makes me think of possibly seeking employment in a large firm (as opposed to continuing running my own business), so that I can focus on utilising my core skills and I can rely on a stable income.
What do you want instead?The ups and downs of generating income through my own business can be stressful, With my wife, we moved from London to Santa Monica in 2019 as she got hired at UCLA. Life in general is much more expensive here, so having a more reliable income is more important. At the same time, my professional network is in London/UK/Europe and I am struggling to build connections with potential clients here. Also, LA is not a global financial center like London or New York, so it is not really matching my profile that well
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Stable, reliable income. A job that utilizes my skills and experience (i.e a fulfilling job). I'd still have a little time for remaining an amateur musician in a local band.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Please, see my reply under "Other" above.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am in an industry (management consulting) that I hate. I feel no satisfaction with any of the great work I deliver to clients, as I have no future involvement in their business (not to mention these are mostly midsize manufacturing / distribution businesses in the midwest, that I have no interest in). I want to work in an industry and for a company I can get excited about, where I am bought in to what I am doing, where I am part of building something and where I my work can actually drive real value both for my company and myself.
What do you want instead?My dissatisfaction with my career impacts all other aspects of my life, especially my happiness and relationships with others, as even when I am not working, I am often stuck thinking about how much I hate my job and what frustrating things are going to be thrown at me when I next check my email.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be significantly more happy in life if I was more happy in my career. I spend so much time and energy on a job I hate and my dissatisfaction bleeds into all other aspects of my life. If I was in a better career, I would be able to enjoy my time away from work much more and treat those around me better (rather than accidentally letting my stress impact them).
What is causing you to seek help right now?My desperate desire to make a career change and set myself on a path to be fulfilled by my future career. I need someone to help me (1) identify what future career path would align to my life goals and that would make me excited to go to work (or at least dread it less) and (2) help me put together an action plan to move from my current job to a new job / onto the career path we identify.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenge is lack of clarity in my next career move. As a recent college graduate, I started off my career in one direction, but am now looking to pivot. However, I feel like I have too many interests, which is making it difficult to choose my next path. I would also like my next job to be both fulfilling and practical, but often feel that I can only choose one, especially early in your career.
What do you want instead?I feel like I can't start fully living until I have a good grasp in a fulfilling career. I would like to travel more, work towards financial freedom, build relationships, and help people, but right now I feel lost and stuck. Overcoming the challenges would feel like the start of a new life for me.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Since your career is a large part of your life, overall I imagine myself more free, happy, and less stressed. I would feel more content knowing that my skills, interests, and personality are aligned with what the world needs. It would serve as foundation that I would think would positively affect the other areas of my life.
What is causing you to seek help right now?For the past year I've done my own self-reflection, reading, research, and been meeting with a therapist, but haven't been able to achieve the level of progress or results that I would like. I feel like a coach would provide the necessary experience and guidance to help me along my journey.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have been doing social entrepreneurial type of work for the last ten years. It has been rewarding but challenging as working the not for profit world presents its own set of challenges. I am in looking for help in crafting my background and how to approach the marketplace with it. I have a great platform, good numbers experience (side gig), looking for a new challenge and would love some help in crafting a way forward.
What do you want instead?I had a great path going with success in the business and the goal of teaching at a University in my sites when my former partner blew up what we were doing. The effect of this has been hard on relationship, money, health and happiness. Need to get this behind and back on a good path.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?That opens up so much for me. I would be able to pursue other activities outside of work. Different more diverse life if I can get back on track.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Coaching is the way to go versus just working with a recruiter. Looking for some one who can help me continue to build my brand.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?1. Finding work that I find meaningful / worthwhile. 2. Figuring out how my generalist operational skillset can best be applied going forward / understanding my value. 3. Bridging the gap between my ideal career and where I am today.
What do you want instead?These challenges have an impact on my self-esteem and sometimes leave me feeling stuck and overwhelmed regarding next steps. I also tend to ruminate about it out loud to family, and I don't want to put that burden on them.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would gain a significant additional amount of sense of purpose and feel like I'm using my time/talents effectively. I would also feel much more in control of my life from a financial standpoint to provide for my family.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I dislike my current job because I have no ability to grow in it, and there's no additional viable opportunities in other parts of the business. I've been "coasting" for the last couple of years as I try to find other opportunities, but in the meantime I feel like I've lost my edge and have started to doubt my abilities. I know I need to transition out of this company, but I can never find any roles that excite me. If I ever do find a role that is somewhat interesting, I usually feel unqualified. Therefore, I've been stuck in a rut on next steps as I experience bore-out in my current role. My dream role would be to start my own business, but I've never had an idea that I've felt is worth pursuing.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I left JPL in May of 2022 due to extreme burn out, and am looking to do something completely different with my career. I worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for 25 years, and started right after graduate school. I would like to take my career in another direction but am having trouble convincing potential employers that I can move beyond planetary science. At first I did not know what I wanted to do, but now I am looking to make a difference in a company using technology to answer a social problem (i.e. climate change, STEM access, etc.)
What do you want instead?Right now I am semi-retired and am just trying to get over burn out I suffered due to an insane work schedule over the last 10 years. I am afraid that I lack the motivation and drive that I had in the past. My son is in college, and my daughter will be going to college next year. Beyond paying for their school, the key challenge I have is to find a job that makes a difference and makes me happy.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?When I was happy and satisfied with my career, life was wonderful. I was more tuned into my family's life, I was more relaxed and was pleasant to be around. In 2013, we won a proposal to supply an instrument to the Mars 2020 rover with me as Principal Investigator. In 2015 I was promoted to Deputy Division Manager of Science, a job that required managing over 400 PhD scientists. Each of these positions was really an 80% job. It caused sever burn out. Near the end of my time at JPL, was stressed, yelled a lot, did not sleep and was generally very moody. That has all changed in the last 6 months as I try to recover from the burn out over worked caused.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am struggling to find the right career. Until I left JPL I had never really looked for a job, things kind of fell into line for me. After finishing my PhD I had already lined up a position as a CalTech post-doc and I had lined up the position before that post-doc was over. The job search I am currently pursuing feels like it is stuck in first gear, mainly because I am not sure what type of "real" world jobs would I enjoy, be good at AND be able to make a real difference.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am a professional musician and composer that has paid my bills through life by working in the restaurant business for over 30 years (with a lot of that time in management). At 51 years old and with 2 kids (8 and 10) I am so burned out on the restaurant business and it's looking harder each year to see myself making the kind of money I want to make in music. So, I'm considering a career change and have no idea how to even begin. I know I have tons of skills that are transferable and I have many other life experiences (including a US Utility patent) entrepreneurial and otherwise. I'm confident in my intelligence, work-ethic, passion and problem-solving skills and my past work history has shown me that I always add tremendous value to my employers business. Now I just need to find the new and best path forward so I can work to live, not live to work.
What do you want instead?I have health issues that ned to be addressed, I still carry credit card debt and have not really saved any money for my kids college education or for my retirement. I have little control over my time and live paycheck to paycheck. It's a very frustrating place to be and I've been here for quite a while.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would have time for my family, mostly working from home. I would also keep time available for my musical pursuits which I need to keep my inner flame alive! I would be able to buy a house and take vacations with my family. I would be able to deal with health issues more proactively.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've been stuck for a long while. I've tried to break out of the restaurant business many time over the last 10-15 years and I keep getting stuck in it because I'm very good at what I do and I have always been able to get work in that industry. I need to carve a new path for myself that will lead to a much brighter financial future while giving me more control over my time. I have never experienced a real work-life balance and upward mobility and I'm ready to begin.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Hi Mark, I worked with you a few years ago. At that point I was transitioning from a long career in organizational development consulting and was looking for direction as I was approaching semi-retirement. You were really helpful helping me to identify coaching for the next phase of my career. Since then, I graduated from a year-long coaching certification course and became ICF accredited. Now I feel I need support finding clients - an area I know is a strength of yours (and a weakness of mine!).
What do you want instead?Without a steady source of potential clients, all of the time, $$, and effort I've put into my coaching practice so far will have been mostly in vain. And I won't be able to achieve my tangible ($$) and intangible (great network of supportive/developmental relationships I've cultivated along the way, personal development, giving back to others my gifts and the wisdom of my experience) goals.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd be earning enough extra $$ to supplement my income, such that I'd be able to do those life-enhancing things I wouldn't otherwise be able to afford to do: travel, personal development (classes, retreats, coaching, etc.). I would also enjoy greater fulfillment as a result of these activities, which would be good for my overall health and well being.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Lack of a pipeline of clients.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My greatest challenges in my career are: *knowing how to present myself for higher opportunities *presenting my diverse experiences in the best possible light *determining where I want to go next
What do you want instead?Finding myself currently without employment causes a great amount of stress in my marriage, my mental health, and with our family finances. I have been hardwired to have a vocation (not a job).
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I have enjoyed every career move I have made. I like to be engaged in making the world a better place and working toward a goal. I do not see my career as such; it is a vocation and my way of serving the Lord and providing advancement of people to see His love for them in the workplace. (I am not out to 'proselytize' but to simply edify the people who I work for/with or supervise). Being happy in my career/vocation allows me to relax and enjoy my family time and ministries.
What is causing you to seek help right now?After enduring belittling and severe limiting of what I could do the last months of the position I was laid off from, I do not want to end up in the same place. I want to move my career/vocation forward and not backward.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I've taken a lot of time to reflect on my skills, work habits, weaknesses, etc., and have a lot of data that I agree with that fits my personality; but I have a hard time translating that into a career pivot. I'm currently unemployed and taking the time to do a career pivot and have interests but I'm just having a hard time finding a profession that I'm excited about, matches what is in demand with the market, and is something I can see myself succeeding in.
What do you want instead?Overall happiness and fulfillment are my top answers. I feel like I've become complacent and directionless, a feeling I've never had until after I left my previous employer. I guess one could say it's a typical quarter-life crisis
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?The part of my life that would be my career would be fulfilled, in which I would feel whole. I have many hobbies, interests, and relationships outside work, but once I find a field where I can put my talents and strengths, I feel like I will be whole overall.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm stuck in trying to navigate fields in my strengths and would love a professional/expert opinion on how I should navigate from here, and maybe discover career paths that I'm not seeing.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I'm changing careers (prior military for a decade) currently in grad school for a multidisciplinary degree (Design, Business, and Tech) but trying to leverage that and my past role as an Air Force officer towards finding avenues into entertainment and consumer products. I have been narrowing down my focus, but I still don't have a targeted approach and I'm not using my network as effectively as I could, nor having success getting an advocate.
What do you want instead?A general lack of self worth professionally has made pitching myself as a viable candidate a challenge. Married and happy, both healthy, and in an ok place financially to be ok with her working full time while I'm only part time and a full time student, but I need to find an internship ASAP in a company within the industry I'm aspiring towards.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Ideally, knowing I'm actively apart of the process to enable the development of products or merchandise that adds value to consumer's lives. Helping expand a brand or franchise beyond the screen and into people's homes. Having been a non technical manager for a decade, I'm more excited about developing tangible results rather than just idle conversation.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've reached a point where I feel I am overtaxing my peer or network base by trying to work through my mental blocks with them, and its straining those networks. I'd rather be more deliberate with asks from peers rather than burden them with my internal struggle in gaining focus, this way if/when I go to them for assistance or an ask, it can be more deliberate.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?There are a few challenges that I'd like to discuss, I've been at the same level in my career for several years and I'm having trouble acquiring the skills needed to move up. I've led several teams in different companies, however I always end up doing more hands on work and less strategic leadership and I wind up not performing at the level needed for leadership.
What do you want instead?This always causes stress at home as I lose the work life balance and have to put more hours in to complete work that I should have delegated. This does not make me happy as I miss out on having family time, actually having time for hobbies and finding time for myself.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would worry less and feel more fulfilled, have more time for family without thinking about work. I always feel like I've made the wrong career move, joined the wrong company or went down the wrong path. I would lose these doubts if I was happy and confident in my career.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm having a rough time in my current position, I feel like I'm not performing at my expected level, I'm getting negative feedback from my supervisor, little support in how to improve, and I also don't know how push back. Despite this my team is productive, has given me a lot of positive feedback in how I'm teaching, leading and coaching them. But I feel like I don't have the coaching I need to be a better leader myself.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?In my current role, work has been draining because I deal with very different personalities on a daily basis and my personality doesn’t match any of my bosses. I don’t feel as though I fit in. Also the work that I’m given doesn’t make me excited about my career. It’s mainly grunt work. I know I’ll have more responsibility as I move up the ladder but it’s unclear if this is the job that I want in the first place.
What do you want instead?These challenges definitely affect all areas of my life. I’ve always been an achiever and career-focused. The pandemic has shown me that life is too short and there’s more to life, but I can’t shake wanting to be successful in my career. If something bad happens at my job, it affects my everyday life. It consumes my mind and hinders my growth.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I was happy in my career, I could focus on things outside of work like fitness, hobbies, and bettering my relationships. Sometimes I’m so drained with thinking about work that don’t really live life.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I want to receive clarity re: my career path. I want to know if I’m going in the right direction.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Finding exactly what I want to do with too many interests. Deciding between hobbies and potential career paths. This keeps me in a job that is unfulfilling and leaves me with little energy to explore other options.
What do you want instead?My current job has impacted my mental health. I went to counseling, couples therapy, practice meditation and mindfulness, and came to the conclusion there isn’t something within myself that needs fixing when it comes to my career. I’m not in an environment that brings me joy, inspiration, and fulfillment
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Peaceful and thrilling. Since I most likely knew for a very long time I was not where I was supposed to be.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I need guidance on seeing my potential and how my skills can work for a new potential career and see what certain career paths will look like.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I moved from Brazil to the USA 4 years ago, and was a serial entrepreneur in Brazil (founded around 10 companies in the last 30 years) - some of the companies were very successful. I need help to identify which of my skills could be more valuable to companies in the USA, prepare my "application tools" and some interview training.
What do you want instead?I have not been able to land the same kind of job that I had in Brazil for my whole life, so not happy at all... This is making me doubt about my future and my capacity of "doing". I also considered starting up a new company in the USA, but not sure what, yet... At this point I am not as financially stable as I was before.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I need to regain self-confidence and feel challenged in an interesting job, in an intelligent environment. It would make me feel fulfilled after having made such a big move in my life (and my family's).
What is causing you to seek help right now?Seeking experience and knowledge in the American job market, and how to convert my skills and experience in value.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am finishing my PhD in toxicology in a couple of months. I was interested in a career in medicine but decided to not continue pursuing it in 2020. I really enjoy my research but I felt during graduate school I did not challenge my self by learning more benchwork skills. Now I often find myself thinking that I lack skills and I am not reaching my full potential in science.
What do you want instead?I decided not to pursue medicine for a variety of reasons. I suffer from an eye illness and I didn't want to stress and strain my eyesight further. I also did not want to be financially drained. My current feelings on not finding happiness in my job is not really affecting any other aspects of my life--it's only affect my personal career satisfaction (which is very important to me).
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I think I would go to work excited everyday which is how I felt years ago when I was starting my research.
What is causing you to seek help right now?-Unhappy and uncertain about my future job prospects -Disappointed at some training opportunities missed during graduate school -Unsure if my future career plans will make me happy -Want to reach full potential in science but not sure if I have maxed out on my abilities

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I've never been one to focus solely on one specific skill or trade and in doing so, I've done A LOT, but I also have no idea what exactly it is I truly want to do. I'm a jack-of-all-trades, Swiss army knife, etc. as they say. Also, I've spent the majority of my career in the sports industry and would like to transition out of it as the nights and weekends are no longer serving me. I've always had a North Star to guide my ambition, but am feeling a bit lost of what the right next step is for me.
What do you want instead?I always say I'd much rather be busy than bored. My brain starts to feel like mush when it isn't being challenged and fully utilized each day which doesn't make me feel very happy or fulfilled. Also, the longer I go without a steady income, the more stress it puts on myself and our family.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My life would feel like a bright and sunny day. I'd feel purposeful and proud of creating something for the world. I'd feel good about making progress towards our family goals.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel very stuck. I'm the type that doesn't like to voice my problems but I know I need help to get to the other side.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Strategic communication, reading the room etc. I am very blunt and direct, and I find most people do not respond well to that. I struggle to “stay in my lane” and focus on my role and what will elevate me, I give too much energy to minutia.
What do you want instead?This definitely bleeds into the rest of my life and how I carry myself. I put too much energy on trivial things that deteriorates my mental health and promotes anxiety and stress in my life.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would feel fulfilled, valued, and appreciated. I wouldn’t struggle as much with trying to prove my intelligence or value. Stress would no longer control me and affect my mental and emotional well-being. I would have a strong work life balance and enjoy the life I’ve created for myself.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I would like to be a leader at a company I am passionate about, where I feel respected and valued. I struggle with articulating my strengths and experience in a résumé format. I also struggle with interviewing and networking. I would like to gather the skills to be very intentional about my communication, the work I take on, my goals and the steps I need to take to get there.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Laid off in June, not getting many interviews. My career so far has been in sales in the music products/professional audio sector. There are very few roles in that industry currently, so I am also applying in other verticals.
What do you want instead?Unemployment puts pressure on all aspects of life. Most obviously financial pressure, but mental health is difficult to maintain
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I’m not sure how to answer this. I was already happy in my career. I enjoyed the work, I was good at it, got paid well and had good work/life harmony. I hope to find a new role that is similarly good, though it does not have to be in sales or music. .

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Feeling stressed about income and being unfulfilled. My dream is to be an actor but I'm now craving more stability in life and hope to find a full-time or well paid part-time that I love. I became a realtor thinking it would be easy, and after some success earlier in the year, with the market shifting, it has become more and more volatile. I want to wake up energized and excited to get to work, which isn't the current case.
What do you want instead?These challenges bleed into every facet of my life and well being. I constantly feel like I'm in fight or flight. Stressed about money and not able to be as generous as I would like to be. Not able to afford the extra curricular activities and artistic endeavors that I would like to do.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Waking up excited to go to work is my dream more than anything. Money is of course nice and I definitely want to be compensated appropriately, but if I love what I'm doing then I can work hours on end.
What is causing you to seek help right now?My current business as a realtor has slowed down, I'm an actor first and foremost and I thought real estate would be a good side hustle. Turns out its a full time job. So I figured if I have to work full time, and I want to because I'm really craving stability in my life, then I might as well find a full time job that I love and is less volatile.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I began working with Living Libations 5 years ago and built my career from a sales associate to Partnerships Manager. I work remotely and continue to feel isolated from the company. I am in the process of renegotiating my job description and salary, and i am struggling to understand the market value of my skills. I consistently overwork and lack boundaries, which leads to burnout and resentments. I am not sure whether I should continue on my career path or whether I’ve gotten everything I can from my current company.
What do you want instead?They affect my emotional well being because I don’t feel appreciated or valued at work. It affects my health because my stress levels are high, even though it is not a high stress job. They affect my happiness and overall sense of well-being and contentment.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?A lot more fun and hopefully a bit more serene.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I need to speak with someone outside my company about all of this. I need some perspective from someone who is an expert in the field.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Career Change. Looking what to do next. I've been working as a Project Manager in the corporate event industry specialized on the technical side in 2 different countries, Switzerland and Spain. In the past I studied an Associate's Degree in Audiovisual Production and I had the opportunity 4 years ago to quit my job, move to China with my wife Lara Verdugo, and study a 4 year college degree in Business Administration and Management that I've just finished in September. I speak fluently 4 different languages, lived in 3 different continents and now I don't know what is the next step, after being out of the job market for 4 years. I've always worked in small companies and now I am thinking about trying to get into the corporate world.
What do you want instead?I was studying from home, going to pass the exams in person but with poor social life. Now, I am living with my wife in the US, we bought a house this year and we had a baby, so obviously money is starting to rise to the top on the priority list as well as going back to work in a country I never worked before. I am looking forward to meet new people, learn and put my new skill in play and grow as a professional.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Tricky question right now. I see myself as a hard working person, super motivated and passionate about what I am doing. As I am looking for a career change, I am ready to give 150% of my energy to make this possible but I am concerned that now I have a baby and I want to spend more time with my family. I suppose I would be happy having a job where I can give everything the time I am working at the office but having the flexibility to work from home if I need it, not having to commute more than 45 minutes and be at home for dinner. I don't mind having to travel but I don't want that to be more than the 25% of the time.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel that I need someone to help me figure it out what my next step is and how to achieve it. I don't have experience working in the US nor with the interview process here. I always worked in small companies and I am looking for a career change. I am open to continue working as a Project Manager but I want to feel that, the 4 years I invested studying Business Administration and Management, have an impact in my future. I also need guidance adapting my previous experience to the new Alejandro Castellano with his new skills.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Figuring out where to direct my energy when it comes to pivoting my career from freelance Illustration to something artistic that is a better fit and that pays better. Self promotion and confidence are also a problem for me. If I don't feel I can do something perfectly, I am scared to pitch myself for the job. And juggling my career goals with my commitment to being a good mother to 2 young children.
What do you want instead?I am freelance, and when I am not working or making money it hurts my self esteem. I want to be a good role model and an engaged and happy partner to my husband.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My day would fly by without my realizing it. I would be in a flow state most of the time. I would not dread work. During work hours, I would concentrate on work, and at home I would focus on my home life. I would feel proud of the things I created. I would not feel guilty or stressed about spending money because I would be earning enough of it. I would feel proud to tell people what I do for a living.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have an MFA in illustration and have been a freelance illustrator and designer for 10 years. My specialty is children's books, but I have never succeeded in publishing my own work. I am sick of the stress of self employment and self promotion. I have recently taken some introductory courses in some fields adjacent to traditional illustration: 3D modeling, animation, world creation and a a game engine (Unity). All are extremely appealing, but each field will require a huge commitment to master. I have no idea what to do or where to put my time. I am interested in everything, and intimidated at the same time. I am stuck.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Aligning my 25 years of talent and HR background with manifesting a new senior role. Determining if I should adjust my resume downwards in order to attract positions that I'm possibly better qualified for. A better skill set with more confidence of telling my story and providing the interview answers in the best possible manner. Reduction of anxiety. Addressing the sense of lack, career comparison, and at times, imposter syndrome feelings. And rather importantly, my previous role the separation was deeply troubling, the company was very toxic.
What do you want instead?The stress associated with this career pivot and job search at this point in my life at age 61 is acutely not a good thing for my body, so, relationships. I feel a sense of lack. It's mostly in my self-governance however it can be very debilitating given how it deeply impacts my energy. Job search since March 22 is not been what I would have expected it to be. In previous years landed opportunities much sooner.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?There would be a deep sense of fulfillment and knowledge that I know that I'm making a difference with the work I'm doing the people I manage and Great question. My overall impact that I bring both to the company, it's people and how impact on the planet. In addition, I would be remunerated far more than I have been and that which I deserve. In turn my income would impact and help the people I support.
What is causing you to seek help right now?The reasons I stated previous, and also the knowledge that I can't be my best own coach right now. I need to work I want to work with a professional who understands Talent acquisition professionals and leaders and how to best position them, coach them, and ready them for the future of fulfillment. I have 10 to 15 more years to work before retirement and I want to do this right. Thank you.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Currently I am in career limbo. I am a college student taking a gap semester to learn more about myself. In the process I have discovered a passion for content creation. My biggest fear in this is not that of failure but that of the many sacrifices I may need to make along the way if I am to make my dream become a reality.
What do you want instead?I have had to make conscious choices regarding those I hang around and whether they are bringing me closer or further from my goals. I am currently living on my own in Orange County so rent is high and I am working two jobs that pay minimum. I would like to eventually build an online course while expanding my social media presence which would create new sources of revenue, however it would be a while before these revenue streams come to fruition. In terms of happiness, I have never felt happier in my decisions. While this journey provides substantial risk, the personal and potential fiscal rewards outweigh as long as I stay consistent. I am doing a lot of reading pertaining to finances and mental health so I can improve my overall well being while providing insightful content to my viewers on TikTok. This journey is incredibly important to me and while there are challenges and I know many more to come, I simply would like guidance/mentorship from an expert to give me the tools necessary to realize my dream!
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Ideally I would like to be an entrepreneurial vagabond, traveling the world and influencing people globally. To live completely free from financial and societal constraint while impacting people and helping individuals learn to love themselves and find their passions in life. The traveling would definitely not be sustainable forever as eventually I would like to settle down, write a book, start a podcast and possibly open up my own gym, as fitness is also incredibly important to me. I have been heavily influenced by people such at Timothy Ferris and Tony Robbins as I want to serve others while living a life of exploration and personal fulfillment.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I would like a mentor/guide on my journey. I have an understanding of the general direction I want to go but it would be great to have someone who can give me expert advice, support and accountability in turn giving me the momentum needed to actualize my goals.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have been working on television shows as a script coordinator with the dream of writing professionally. I have found that getting promoted to full time writer on these shows has been harder than i anticipated. It has left me feeling like my talent and creativity are being wasted in a position that isn't even full-time or lucrative enough for me to feel financially secure.
What do you want instead?I have felt that money has been a worry for me because the job I have isn't full time. It has effected my health in the sense that I am not building more skills and growing within my current job, leading to stagnation and dormancy in my mind. My happiness has been tethered to my writing, which I have wanted to turn into a profession, but it has yet to happen. I still love to write, and be creative, and I will want to continue pursuing this because it makes me happy, but I do not want it to be the sole form of a job and source of income. I'd like to find something more stable.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would have a good balance between work and home, I'd be able to use my writing and creativity to grow within a role that allowed me enough money and freedom to survive on.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have been working on television shows as a script coordinator and writer for the last decade. While I have enjoyed the work, i have reached a plateau and I'm looking for a more stable, rewarding career.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I’ve been at my current job I’m a certified Prosthetist Orthotist (CPO) with a master degree in prosthetics and orthotics from the University of Hartford. I’ve been at my current job for a little over 5 years. After my residency I quickly climbed the ladder to become clinic manager of our two largest clinics. About a year ago, our company was bought out by a large German prosthetic manufacturer. Since then, the small fast growing company once loved became a corporate entity who no longer values their employees or emphasizes quality patient care. Because I have been so unhappy in my current role, I decided to apply for two positions within the company that purchased us. I didn’t end up getting either one and my company has been treating me much differently now that they know I was trying to leave. I often have doubts as to whether this career is something I want to do for the rest of my life because I have a difficult time envisioning a work environment as a Prosthetist/Orthotist that truly makes me happy. I have what I consider to be a very impressive resume for someone with my experience level in this field. However, my education and work experience is so specific to this niche field within healthcare that I have no clue how I would manage to land a job outside of this field.
What do you want instead?My fiancée and I have been wanting to move to San Diego for quite sometime. I feel really depressed living in a place I don’t want to live and going to a job that brings me no joy at all. I feel very stuck in my situation which has given me depression. I also make a very high salary for my experience level in this field so even if I were to stay in the field, I would likely have to take a pay cut to get another job.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I were happy in my career I would wake up each day with motivation knowing that I am constantly growing. My biggest fear in life has always been to remain stagnant with no upward momentum. Not just financially but I want to feel like I am constantly growing and improving each year. I have always dreamed of working for myself but no one in my family is entrepreneurial so I don’t even know where to begin.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I’m incredibly unhappy and am having difficulty thinking rationally in my current state. I feel really stuck and am getting advice from family and friends but I have no clue what to do.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Since graduating from college in 2019, I still have not found what it is that I want to do for a meaningful career. I have worked full time in operations roles at multiple tech startups and a law firm. I recently switched jobs to a small company where I am not happy. My goal is to wake up everyday and truly be excited to go to work. Right now, I feel as if I am just going through the motions and not sure where I am headed career growth wise. I feel very stuck at the age of 24. I am a social person and enjoy working with teams and on projects that are exciting I believe that if you are going to do something for most of your waking hours, you better be happy. Life is too short. So if you are happy at work, it will be easier to manage other areas in your life and you may find yourself in better moods and have a positive outlook each week. I don't want to continue to "live for the weekends" orand meaningful. My time in the professional world has often felt like a "job" to pay the bills, and I feel as if I don't have a true "career". I have also often felt as a young person at large companies, I have been taken advantage of because I am too nice at times.
What do you want instead?I sometimes find myself in dark holes and not wanting to do the things I enjoy because I dread about work that I am not happy with what I do 40 hours a week. Sometimes I will be with friends and family and my mood will not be ideal, especially on Sunday nights and during the week. I find that I have not been taking care of myself as much since I started my new job in May (not working out as much and eating more junk food). I also seem to spend my paychecks on entertainment and distractions making it hard to save always living paycheck to paycheck. With my Girlfriend, especially during the week I feel low energy and constantly drained when I used to be more adventurous & fun.

What do you want instead?Obviously an overall lack of productivity. More difficult to network and find careers that I can start working immediately. Limited time on the phone, so I can't use dating apps, which is annoying. Otherwise, I have adapted exceptionally well, and am making great progress fixing it.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have multiple chronic illnesses which have posed significant challenges in my efforts towards career building. Specific examples of such challenges include numerous sick days, physical limitations, the need to allot time for many health appointments, and the unpredictable nature of my illnesses. Post-grad, I worked in the medical field in advance of my intended entry into medical school. However, I stopped pursuing this path due largely to an increasing illness burden. Similarly, I more recently began to pursue a career in nursing, but, after a period of acutely severe illness, I realized that this would not be a viable path for me.
What do you want instead?My chronic illnesses impact every aspect of my life: my relationships are fewer, but stronger, my medical financial burden is immense, and my happiness can be negatively influenced by negative health status. Even minute details of my day reflect my current health status, such as how many minutes can I sit in this chair before needing to sit somewhere more comfortable, or before being in too much pain to work efficiently? However, living most of my life with chronic illness also gave me an indispensable gift -- a unique sense of empathy and compassion. I imagined I would combine this gift, my interest in medicine, and my first-person experience as a life-long patient towards the career path of medical professional. However, I tried that, and my health challenges demonstrated the infeasibility of that path. Henceforth, I haven't been able to translate the positives I have taken away from my challenge of chronic illness into a career, as I hope to be able to do.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be affecting positive change and I would feel fulfilled, capable, intelligent. I would feel more confident and proud of my work. If I were happy in my career, I imagine things would balance on a scale. Weight on one side would represent the physical toll of my career choice and the results negative health impacts. This would be roughly counterbalanced by weight on the opposite side of the scale, which would represent the inner sense of satisfaction, fulfillment, and accomplishment I would gain from working. Occasionally, the scales may drop in one direction or the other, but happiness is found when there is a general balance between both sides of the scale.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I recently came to peace with the decision that nursing is not right for me. I have gone through periods of uncertainty before regarding career aspirations and Despite my inclination to head towards the structure and prestige of western medicine to utilize my skill sets, I know I need to do something else. I don't feel like I have the skillset to figure out this new path and how to best navigate it without some guidance.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Career success for me has been when I design, make a product and sell it. Beyond that, I honestly don’t know where I fit. I have a master’s degree in product design but my work is often more art than product. And my technical skills are not up to par relative to what most employers are seeking. I don’t currently have any products in production and know that it takes time and effort to evolve them. I need a new plan. Or fresh perspective. And/or...? Bottom line, I need a job.
What do you want instead?Not to sound defeatist, but I do know the challenges are hitting me negatively on all fronts.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?When doing what I love (designing/making) and making a living from it, it radiates through all aspects of life. I don’t have a family, am more of an introvert, and do -not- enjoy social networking. I mention the latter as my work is pretty much who I am. So if I’m not doing something in my career that’s feeding my head and my heart…well, I gotta problem over here.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Am having a hell of a time figuring out what types of positions I can bring true value to. If not running the show myself, I would like (and need) it to be within a small organization. Or within a small creative department if in a larger establishment.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am finding myself being comfortable in discomfort. I think what allows me to stay in a position is my struggle with creating actionable steps, even though I think I have an understanding of what that might look like. I think having someone hold me accountable, and bounce ideas off of would help in creating a more fruitful life.

I am currently interested in job searching, but I would like to create my own start up while I have a job.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Firstly, overcoming anxiety of re-entering the work force after an absence of close to 10 years. Also, not knowing what my strong suits are, what the demands of the current market are, and how to match my skills with a well paid position that will allow me to build a career that I'll enjoy and in an industry with a great future.
What do you want instead?These challenges have led me to have serious self-confidence issues, to doubt my ability to earn a decent living, to be successful, to be financially stable and independent. This has led to a lot of unhappiness and me avoiding building relationships with others.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd be able to develop the other aspects of my life just as well, such as a relationship, more friendships, better relations with my family, and the ability to do a lot more with my time and energy to enjoy what I'm passionate about.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have a very non-traditional career path and skill set, many call me a unicorn.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a job where I don’t have to be the POC for a customer or client. I would like to just have a job where I can be assigned a task and get it done. Whether that be an inside or outside job. Being the POC for clients causes me a lot of anxiety and stress and I know that is the reason why.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Finding something that fits my personality. I got on the wrong path career wise from the get go. I was too focused on having a job and not focused on what was right for me.
What do you want instead?It impacts my life everyday. I am so stressed and filled with anxiety almost everyday from my job. It has affected me and my wife’s relationship and close family members. My mental health has suffered greatly because of my career path.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?It would literally change my life. A complete 180 degree difference. This is the one thing that has kept me from being my true self and happy.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am at a point where if I don’t do something that changes my life I feel like I will lose everything that is important to me. I just can’t take it anymore and neither can the people around me.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?To know what career path is meant for me and better helps me cope with the psychological strain I often experience, even if it means gradually transitioning into it.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Trying to have a consistent sense of self-confidence that I belong in the industry I'm currently in which is Aerospace/Defense technical sales.
What do you want instead?I experience bouts of depression and have received years of therapy, most recently CBT which has been the most helpful. I am currently a strong candidate for a technical sales position in another state and need to decide soon whether I should move/accept the position should it be offered to me. I've already been told by someone in the organization I'm "leading the pack".
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would not be hanging my head over my desk for periods at a time feeling despair questioning "do I really belong here" all the time.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Mainly if I should pursue the opportunity out of state but I've been dealing with these issues for two long without trying this new avenue of a career coach

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I am good at relationship building in the sales process. I want to be able to continue that but without the stressors (goals, meeting goals) that go along with it
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?The biggest challenges when it comes to my career is that I have been unemployed since March 2020 (covid). I took on a similar role right after that was commission based and frankly and have not been able to launch it as it is travel related. As I transition back into the workforce, I don't want to be limited to hotel based jobs (pretty much my whole background is hotels) however, do want to parlay that background into another position.
What do you want instead?This is impacting my personal life as I now it brings to the forefront my "passion". I have always thought it was hotels but now that it has been taken away from me, defining what my true passions are and taking that to a job is my next step.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?work at home, 30-40 hours a week. still focusing on family $60-$75k a year.
What is causing you to seek help right now?not taking it serriously

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want some clarity and guidance on discovering a core "skill set" that can act as my compass in finding new roles or industries where my skill would complement the role.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Moving out of a state of complacency and fear.
What do you want instead?With my skill set and experience, I may be more qualified than I give myself credit for, potentially creating a gap in potential wealth. Sometimes I feel unhappy or unfulfilled with my role as I have been with the same company for 15 years. Since I can be complacent, I do not often network or make a habit. I also do not feel that I make enough to support a family which my fiance and I are planning.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would probably not make myself so stressed out regarding my career or job. I would feel more comfortable financially to start a family and have more options available to myself. I would feel a greater sense of fulfillment and purpose.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am looking for guidance and clarity around what roles or careers would be the best fit for me. I would also like help with how to transition into one of these roles and build better habits that can lead to more successful relationships.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to be a storyteller. That’s why I moved out here in 2007. For several years, I mostly pursued acting to some degree of success, but could not support myself fully as an actor. Based on my previous experience, life situation, current interest, I feel a calling to be a storyteller as a writer.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am a teacher, and I enjoy my job, however the opportunities to advance in my career are limited both professionally and financially. I also would like to branch out (not necessarily quit my day job) but find more fulfillment with the writing projects that I have in the works. I am working on a memoir, a tv pilot, and have several plays that I have written in the past.
What do you want instead?Reading your bio, I feel we have a lot in common: I have a steady career, we just bought a home in 2020, my wife is pregnant with our second child... However, I don’t feel driven or purposeful in my career. It is a job for me.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I think I would be happier at home. I also think I would be more around “my people” as a storyteller. Ideally, my income would increase, and my wife could focus more on her private practice (therapy) and spend more time at home.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Well, like many, I have re-examined my priorities since March of 2020. I have spent more time with my family, we bought a house, moved to the suburbs, and I have been writing A TON. However, I am terrible at finishing projects and putting myself out there. I’m great at starting them, getting great feedback in classes and workshops, then I hit a wall. I put them off. I start something new. I convince myself...”what’s the point?”

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a career where I feel I can make meaningful impact, work with smart people, and help enhance processes. All with work-life balance that meets my needs.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I work in human resources, currently as a Compliance and Employee Relations Business Partner. My biggest challenge is identifying whether there is a role that fits what I am most passionate about and my skillsets. In my current role, I feel I'm pulled in so many directions, but urgent requests, that I am not able to be as thorough as I want to be, and I am left plugging holes rather than solving problems with a long-term resolution. This makes me feel that I am not performing at a high enough level, despite leadership consistently providing me with glowing feedback.
What do you want instead?Happiness is low, as I feel a constant low level of anxiety. This leads me to have less patience for my family.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would look forward to going to work again, enjoy when people come to me with questions (rather than lately where it more feels like a burden), I would be relaxed on the weekends and able to disconnect.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm not sure whether I need to work on changing my mindset and staying with my current career/role, look for a new job, or consider a career shift.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to find a career that will allow for me to provide a future for my wife and down the line family, ideally as an editor or content manager or possibly as a technical writer.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenge is that I haven't found a career yet. I've tried to turn passions into careers in the past but none of them have panned out. I'm currently a student at Glendale Community College looking to graduate this spring/fall with an Associates Degree in English to begin a career in writing.
What do you want instead?This challenge has hampered me financially and has had an impact on my marriage, mostly stress.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Life will be significantly less stressful if I were happy in a career without having to worry every day about the future.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I haven't had much luck on my own or through networking to find jobs over the past few years and am ready to meet with someone who can help me get on the right path to a bright career.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?A sales career with a simpler business / product line. Work that aligns with something that I feel passionate about and where the work focuses on building and maintaining relationships. Unlimited income.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Lack of fulfillment and purpose with the work. I am the top salesperson in the company, yet the current business model is taking me further away from selling and requiring me to take on a service and troubleshooter role. I've been with my current employer for 15 years.
What do you want instead?While my income is continuing to grow, I feel depleted at the end of the work day. The business model is too complex, requiring a tremendous amount of multi-tasking. Anxiety is a constant challenge due to the work load and company culture.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?That is the question. I'm all over the map on this one. I want to do something else but have no idea what the "else" is.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have trouble figuring out how my skills translate into job titles when searching for a job. And the job titles I know that fit, are not the ones I want.
What do you want instead?I'm unhappy in my "career" life. And I don't want that unhappiness bleeding over into my relationship. And of course money is always an issue and I am the bread winner so it's added stress.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be energetic about getting up in the morning and starting my day. I would be challenged and motivated. I would respect the people I work with.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel adrift in where I am in my career today and where I will be tomorrow.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like to explore what I want to do instead. My areas of interest are in Loyalty Marketing, education and landscape design. I mention landscape design because I have designed two other spaces besides my own and many people comment on my eye for design and creating wonderful outdoor spaces. Ideally, if I could blend this passion with my marketing background I think I would be very happy.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am a former social worker and switched careers to an MBA in Marketing in 2004. Following my MBA I worked in Market Research at AC Nielsen on the Nestle account then United Airlines in the Milage Plus division. Following that I was at Princess Cruises for 10 years and was then laid off in 2017. Since that time I have had three jobs and have not been stable. It seems as though my experiences are a patchwork of jobs but I lack direction and am worried that since I am over 50 I have reached the critical point where maybe I am unemployable and it's just downhill from here.
What do you want instead?These challenges have led me to take on roles that perhaps are not the best fit and I am accepting jobs just to have a job. At Arroyo Insurance Services I worked in a capacity that involved sales, I knew I did not want to do sales but I took the role anyway. I was there two years and they kept me on do their marketing because that was my strength for their agency. Knowing that I needed to find a different role, I accepted an offer with Green Dot. However, within the first month, I felt that it was the wrong fit. My manager at the time was hostile, she did not provide me with the right support to do well and the work was very fast paced. I was hired during covid in a remote work role. On top of that I had covid before I was hired and have suffered covid related issues such as brain fog and short term memory loss. SO here I am in a new role, new industry, super fast paced, covid issues PLUS ADHD. I was eventually terminated from the role in May 2021.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I think being happy in my career would spill over into other areas of my life and make me an even better employee and friend to those closest to me.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am currently not working and have experienced two job losses within the past 6 months PLUS I need some coaching for interview skills and resume polishing

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to figure out the best approach for my career. These are the two path I’m figuring out: a) Stay put. Ride our same job and company. Then continue to invest and retire early in 15-20 years b) Keep jumping around. I’m engaged at work while building my real estate investment portfolio.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I work non-stop and actually enjoy the challenge and climb. I am always able to grow quickly when back against the wall. Then, the challenge becomes staying put at single company or role after 2-3 years. I’m a serial career climber and always want to learn and grow. Hate status quo.
What do you want instead?My wife thinks I’m jumping around too much. Wants me to stay put. She feels concerned at times.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Have kids and be more present with my personal life and goals vs consumed by career parh.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Want to find a clear roadmap for next state of my career in 30s

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to get a better idea of what careers align with my interests and skills, and to be able to create goals to get there. I am willing to work a job that pays little money if it is on the right pathway. Knowing that the job is a stepping stone will instill a motivated mindset that will push me to work hard. I am able to think my big picture, I am just lost in determining what that big picture is.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Right now I am feeling lost in which career path to set myself onto. I recently graduated from my University and have been undergoing interviews and daily job searches for a couple months now. I am aware that there are thousands of entry-level jobs out there right now, however none that seem in the realm of interest in terms of leading me into a future goal position. Listening to life coaches, and mindset mentors daily I am learning a lot from people who are in their middle ages that wish they could do it all over again, and I am trying to do everything I can to not be in that position. I find spending my time and money working with someone who could expand my knowledge on careers and pathways as most valuable to me right now.
What do you want instead?A lot pressure from my family and also boyfriend. Listening to podcasts, friends, and adults experiences and advice, I understand that the smartest thing for me to do is to create a goal and to draw a direct line down to an entry level job of some sorts that will guide me in a direction where opportunities of interest will be present.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Overall health is benefiting; relationships, nervous system, sense of purpose, positivity, confidence, etc.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am seeking the opportunity to brainstorm career paths suitable for me with someone who is highly knowledgable on the vastness of careers out there. I have interests, passions, and skills, and I would love to be able to determine if there is a position out there that represents a blending of these three things.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to feel creative, do work that is meaningful and helpful for other people, and that makes a difference in the world. I want to provide for my family, still have time to spend with them, without feeling like its never enough. I want to have a job where I can be recognized for my work, for what I contribute, for how I help people, and to be appreciated as a leader, as a creative, and a change maker.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am passion driven, and my academic and professional background have been focused on environmental sustainability and energy. Working in a corporate environment, while I have attained a number of recent roles as a leader, I have continually felt adjacent and excluded from my direct interests, and somehow miss the mark for promotion, hiring into new external roles, or getting recognition for my abilities. Over the last 3 years, I have had multiple promising opportunities with new employers, most recently with a company that I had 7 rounds of interviews, over 3 months, with nothing but positive feedback and even a direct endorsement from the CTO in my final interview and recommendation to hire, that ended up in a rejection - supposedly due to budget concerns. Not sure if the underlying problem is missing capabilities or experience, or something missing in my interview approach, or if it is just something basic about how I present myself and communicate with others. I have had the experience of being at the forefront of cutting edge ideas or proposals, being told that I am too far out on a limb, and then 1-2 years later someone else develops the idea and claims credit. My current role with my employer is “Strategy and Innovation” and until recently has lacked a clear charter or support from leadership. I do feel like when I dont get enough positive feedback or a sense of progress in my role, I slowly lose faith in the process, lose my focus, and stop pushing forward, which is where I am at with my current employer.
What do you want instead?I am the primary provider for my family, and I feel obvious pressure to continue to advance my career to support my family, to improve our lives, and to pay for the continually increasing costs of raising two children. We are financially stretched to our limit with two kids in private daycare and preschool, and with Covid19 have been stuck working at home and trying to juggle both kids often at home for weeks or months at a time. My wife is working part time but not regular pay, due to managing childcare needs at home. I have contemplated leaving my current job, relocating my family to a low cost of living location closer to family (Texas in-laws) and reinventing ourselves there, but not sure if thats just transposing current career challenges and destabilizing our family financially. I am lucky that my current job is low pressure, and is very stable and not impacted by Covid. However, I regularly feel sad, stressed, and dejected because I am going nowhere, trapped at home, unable to advance or improve my professional situation. I haven't been able (for various reasons) to prioritize my own health or fitness, and that has taken a toll as well.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would feel fulfilled and empowered, rather than boxed in and limited. I want my sons and my wife to respect who I am, the work that I do, and why it is important in the world. I would have time and energy to balance my work with time away, to exercise, to spend time in nature, to travel, and to create outside of work.
What is causing you to seek help right now?After my most recent recruitment disappointment, I realized I might need external help in determining next steps or strategies while job searching, or perhaps a serious career pivot if my current path is not going to grow or evolve further.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I am hoping to find a career direction where I can feel confident in our future. I spent most of my 20's in an industry that I never had a particular intention of joining and that I felt I had to continue in to be of help to my family. I want to find something where that I can be both passionate about and successful in, and I want to feel that experience and time spent running my previous company was worth something.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Finding the direction I'd like to take and really make a career out of. I initially graduated college with a Zoology degree with the intent to go to veterinary school, but upon graduating I had to take over operations with an auction company owned by my father due to family health issues. I eventually took over ownership of the company and ran the day to day of the company for the past 7-8 years. I've always felt a bit out of place, having learned everything on the job, so confidence in my past experience is a struggle as look to move forward.
What do you want instead?My difficulty in finding the direction I want to go has brought uncertainty to most areas of my life and is impacting happiness and likely health due to the stress of that uncertainty. I have a supportive wife, but worry the lack of direction and confidence in my future is holding back decisions on future family plans, where we want to live, retirement plans, and just planning for the future in general.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I believe once I can identify a career path, it would allow me to focus on other parts of my life that I've neglected or felt that I could not address over the past year due to the uncertainty I've had since leaving my company. While I was often happy with and proud of my work with my previous company, I knew it was not what I wanted to do my whole life and that always weighed heavily on me. Finding something I am happy with and passionate about would hopefully give me a peace of mind I've been missing for years.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I left my company several months ago and am consulting with my former partners as they work to wind down the company completely. In that time, I've tried to identify what I'd like to do in what will likely be a complete career change and am having trouble doing so. Having learned everything on the fly over the years with a very small company, I feel a lack of confidence in my experience and what it actually means to others.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have trouble answering interview questions if I don't have direct experience

What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be able to live more according to my core values as I would experience less stress and more self-confidence associated with more exciting, meaningful, and well-paying work
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm applying to two jobs that I would quite like to get, so I want to ace the interview ASAP... The problem is I don't have "enough" resume experience (despite 20+ years real world experience), so I torpedo myself during interviews by getting defensive and telling incoherent stories. I will move past this limiting belief and ineffective approach to interviewing because doing so will allow me to transition away from the isolation of freelancing to a more social work environment where my strengths will be used to their fullest potential.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Finding the right opportunity. I currently have a decent job, but not a career. My job doesn't offer much in the way of advancement, and I'd like to earn more and take on some new challenges.
What do you want instead?My income isn't what I know it could be. I'm making less than I made when I worked at Disney a decade ago. That's frustrating.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd be less stressed, less worried about finances, my wife could quit her job (for now) and focus on raising our 3 year old.
What is causing you to seek help right now?As I wrote above, my job doesn't offer much in the way of advancement, and I'd like to earn more and take on some new challenges.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenges with respect to my career revolve around the desire to make my career focus more on my specialities and interests, and less on general business acumen.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like to get a job that I still love but provides benefits and is not entry level as I feel my credentials are above another entry position.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I'm having trouble finding a job right now that fits my educational background and interests.
What do you want instead?I'm unable to even get an interview and I'm unsure as to why. I have a Master's degree in the field I am applying for and no gaps in my work history. I also had a professional rewrite my resume and cover letter.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?It would be ideal if I can still be in a field I love so that working won't feel like a 'job' and more like a passion to serving the community through my work.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm unsure of what I am doing wrong at this time in finding a job when I seemingly have done everything 'right'. This meaning everything they tell you in school and college counseling to do: graduated Cum Laude, Master's degree from a prestigious school, was apart of many extracurricular activities including being president of the communication studies honor society, no record to hinder a background check, a great internship, and over 5 years experience in my career field with excellent recommendations given. So I'm just really confused about what it is I am doing wrong to be overlooked every single time.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a fulfilling job in my career, helping to accomplish something worthwhile. I do not want to be another lawyer at a law firm....that’s boring.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Lack of inertia. I ended up getting a very large payout on my last job for a startup energy company and I somehow I ended up semi-retired. I’m having difficulty getting started again.
What do you want instead?I do not feel fulfilled when I’m not accomplishing something significant. Also, I can’t afford to never work again, so I need to do something. Also, when I don’t have my career to focus on, I tend to focus on my teenage son. He doesn’t like that.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I loved my career. I meant to just take a 4-6 months off. I would have a focus for my pent-up energy and need to get something done. I’d be able to meet new people. The pandemic narrowed my life way too much.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am hitting a wall of boredom and discontent. Before Covid, I had enough clients to keep me going, but now they are all closing shop, and I’m hoping with Biden as president, my industry will be revived.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?The biggest challenges are getting your foot in the door, from my own little set of research I have found that many of the jobs tend to want filled out resumes. The Corona Virus has made this difficult with the shut down and how California has chosen to handle it.
What do you want instead?Happiness wise it has left me rather frustrated. Money is not a issue right now and relationships have not been effected to badly. Though my mental wellness is what concerns me as I feel like I have been off my feet for too long and need help refocusing on something I would love.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I am eager to obtain a position in the field of Forensic Science in order to best utilize my laboratory experience and serve the public. I am looking for a career that involves both laboratory benchwork and critical/investigative thinking and will provide me with job stability but career growth.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenge has been my ability to position my knowledge and degree and apply it broadly to a variety of industries/positions. I earned a PhD in Pharmacology and have approx. 9 years of laboratory experience. However, my decision to leave academia and pursue a career in the public sector has been challenging to do.
What do you want instead?I have dedicated many years to my education and have always put a large emphasis on my career with the idea that when I graduate, I will find a long-term position and finally begin living my life. Obviously, not being able to find full-time employment has been difficult financially and my husband has absorbed most of my costs (he also did so while I was in my PhD program), it is very important for me to begin contributing financially to our relationship as well so we can begin to establish roots and find some stability.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I have been happy in my past roles but unfortunately, most of those positions were transient. I am still early in my career so do not know how to answer this yet since I only really have an idea of what I want from my career.
What is causing you to seek help right now?The realization that next time I am offered the opportunity to interview, I want to make sure I put my best foot forward. It has been difficult to come across interview opportunities and if given an opportunity, I want to make sure to seize that opportunity.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to develop and maintain a longer view on what I should be doing professionally than I have, and have a plan I can work towards maintaining, iterating on, and using to provide me with additional direction on an ongoing basis.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have known that I am ready for a job change for awhile (or at least figuring out how to advance in my current role), but have struggled to define what makes sense - what I want to aim for long term, and how I should be conducting myself in the near term. I have been looking for new positions but don't know that I have been effective in uncovering the right opportunities.
What do you want instead?The need for a change has had adverse impacts across my life for various interconnected reasons - relationships, health and happiness have all taken hits.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?As a tactical matter, I think I would end the day with more energy, and be happier in other aspects of my life. Over the long term, I believe a feeling of satisfaction in my career would imply a better life for both me and my family across multiple dimensions.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Having felt like I have hit a rut in my job search I have been talking with friends and family about the process, and the idea of a coach (which I had not previously considered) came up, leading me to start down the path of research and consideration.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?A stable, yet intellectually challenging law job that serves the public interest and provides a comfortable work life balance.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I’m passionate about helping people And public service but there doesn’t seem to be a market for that. Also, I feel like my resume isn’t diverse enough.
What do you want instead?Negatively. I was laid off at my last position , which was a high profile position at a relatively renowned firm that paid well, but I was somewhat relieved. I didn’t have to commute and it enabled me to see my daughter when she wasn’t asleep.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Better. My mental energy would be more properly allocated to my family.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Robert Greene wrote that mastery requires a mentor. I’ve never had a mentor for anything and my choice to leave the law (or shift) my career is a major one where a mentor is warranted.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a career that has a bright future, earns decent money and could maximize my chance to meet good social status people. Eventually, I want to start my own business. I want to be confident, don't get scared on social occasions, and having a useful skill for my career and future business.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I'm an international student. I just graduated and applying for a Master's degree now. I don't know which career should I choose so I haven't decided on my major and it needs to be decided ASAP. My challenges: 1. I'm shy with a little social anxiety, and low-self esteem on some occasions. 2. I have high agreeableness and consciousness so I tend to avoid conflict and internal attributing. 3. I'm not very good with people. I don't know and sometimes not interested in how to networking and maintaining a relationship. 4. I don't have useful skills to do for living. English is not my first language.
What do you want instead?Everything!!!!
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I have a decent job with decent money, surround myself with good social status people, have a good work-life balance. Eventually, I have my own business. I can have some spare time to spend with my family and doing volunteer works. I become confident and could able to afford nice things.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Ideally I'd like to start another business, but now is not the time, and I cannot risk doing this again for at least a few years. In the interim, finding a startup that is venture backed and is already on a high-growth trajectory would be a great solution, although I believe I'm more likely to end up finding a role at a more established SMB.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I'm looking for a job for the first time in a number of years, and I've spent the last 5 years as an entrepreneur. While this has its advantages, it an also create a challenge when submitting resumes to potential employers, particularly when my last venture was not ultimately successful. My biggest challenge now is to find a company, and a role within that company, that allows me to utilize my recent experience and gives me a similar sense of satisfaction to running my own business.
What do you want instead?Well, I've taken a serious hit financially with Classic Stills failing, and I feel I have a big responsibility to myself and my young son to get my finances back on track. I'm definitely feeling the pressure of being unemployed, so finding the right role and the right company will positively impact my happiness and overall sense of wellbeing.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Sunshine, lollypops and rainbows... I honestly don't know. My life has changed so much in the last 18 months (divorce, moving back to LA, then to Austin, losing my business, taking a huge financial hit) that right now I just need some stability. Finding the right role at the right company is a huge part of that.
What is causing you to seek help right now?My biggest need is to make sure I'm applying for the right roles in the right way. That's priority #1.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?While I'm working at a job that makes $200k/year, I want to start a side business that will allow me to take my expertise and teach it to others who are up and coming in Technology. When I can replace my salary, I will solely focus on the business. I want more contorl over my decisions, my life and what I find fulfilling and brings me joy.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Being heard amongst fillabusters. Proactively promoting my accomplishments to decision makers. Getting my great ideas heard by me and not stolen.
What do you want instead?I'm not getting the roles that I want that will help me make more money. My efforts are not being recognized and rewarded which brings frustration and impatience.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I am a big picture problem solver and my ideas are sometimes so out of the box that people who are threatened or who don't see the idea as adding value. Then then steal it later on.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Lack of progress in my career.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Some guidance from someone who has experienced what I'm experiencing. I'd appreciate someone who can help me find motivation for the next right action. I want to partner with someone who has my best interest at heart, in a time of uncertainty.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I don't have a clear plan for what comes next. I've been out of work for a little while and I'm not sure if career coaching is what I need now, but I feel curious about where the next step will come from. Writing a resume and fixing up my Linked In do not feel like the right moves, but having never been in this position before, I have lots of questions and little answers.
What do you want instead?I feel an unease that I have not yet been able to identify how to move forward, or if moving forward is what's needed right now. I would very much like to be true to myself, but I also think there is wisdom in asking advice from someone that is not personally attached to me.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Most likely similar to what it's like now, except I'd have employment.
What is causing you to seek help right now?An increasing sense of unease at going this path on my own. I'm curious if enlisting some help is what will guide me down the correct path.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to find a clear path to new career and be able to flourish.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have been in the same career field for 20 years now, and have developed a solid set of skills that can be applied to other industries. I am working very hard to get into a role in other consumer products fields and feel that I have been locked into my current industry and consideration for a change seems hard to acquire.
What do you want instead?I am currently unemployed and the fact that I cannot get work is directly affecting my money situation. But in the larger sense, this issue of not being able to reinvent myself and follow my new path is becoming extremely frustrating, this is making my time in isolation during Covid particularly depressing.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be more focused in all my other life arenas, this issue is creating a mental block that is debilitating and it is causing strain in my marriage, friends, and self-image.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have been trying for a year now, been on a few interviews and cannot get to the final interview sessions. This coupled with the fact that hundreds of applications are getting no response has given significant reason for me to seek a solution.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?To work! Even if it's not my ideal position or pay, I just want to be meaningfully useful in a professional capacity. I want to have a paycheck and my own money again. I want the satisfaction of having a job and doing it well.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I graduated with the MA in Psychology in Summer 2018. I would like to work in higher education as an adjunct professor or as a student services professional. I've applied to what seems like countless position and received no positive responses no matter how hard I work on my cover letter and resume. I want help navigating the transition to my first post-degree job and getting responses from colleges to my applications.
What do you want instead?I haven't worked in over 2 years and that has negatively affected my finances, my self-esteem, and my happiness. I very much need the structure and routine of work and the money a job provides. It has been crushing emotionally to send out so many applications since I graduated but not get one affirmative response or interview. Sigmund Freud postulated that our purpose in life is to love and to work. By not working, my happiness and life satisfaction is significantly impaired.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I feel like the present depression I feel from being unemployed long term would finally be lifted. I would be overjoyed to be meaningfully employed in higher education in any capacity. The happiness I would get from having a career would improve all facets of my life.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have sent out maybe 50 applications since graduating 2 years ago. I have never had a single bite or positive response to any of them. I feel defeated and frankly, worthless. I need help retooling my materials, navigating my job search, and finding work.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to move into a career in tech, where I can find meaningful projects that constantly allow me to grow my interests, and of course make more money while doing so to comfortably support the other areas of my life.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I've struggled in the past on how to present myself in a way to employers that positions me for the jobs I actually want to do. I also tend to undervalue my skill sets.
What do you want instead?Each job I've had has basically dead-ended in a role where I've felt undervalued, underpaid, and unable to work on anything that allows me to grow. I've always made enough money to get by, which has allowed me to grow on my own outside working hours, but have never been able to put myself in a position to thrive in a full work-life sort of way.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would spend my days working on meaningful problems, and my off-time pursuing things that enrich me as a person (such as traveling, learning, starting a family, etc.)
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've been working in the entertainment industry for the past 13 years, and am now in the process of a career shift to the tech industry.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like to work 30 hours with healthcare benefits close to home. That's exactly what I had at my last job. I live in Summerlin. I am always willing to go the extra mile and do what it takes to get the job done (after hours). Just want to work less hours and enjoy life more. I am very loyal, dependable and always maintain confidentiality. I want to work for a CEO in the corporate world, not a small start up company. Do you rewrite resumes? Do you have connections with Fortune 500 companies in Las Vegas where you can introduce me to potential "hidden" jobs? I know my LinkedIn profile is lacking, just created it late in my career because I have always worked without interruption.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Networking, I recently moved from Chicago to Las Vegas. Worked for the same Chairman/CEO for 16 years in Illinois. Started working part time as an executive asst. for a CEO in Vegas (friend of my boss in Chicago). Laid off late March due to Covid19. Recently created a profile on LinkedIn. Don't know anyone in Las Vegas, the pay scale in Vegas is considerably less than Chicago although I negotiated great pay/work hours with my boss here in Vegas (he has businesses all over the world). Will not work for nothing, was making over 6 figures in Chicago and very close hourly salary with my boss here in Vegas.
What do you want instead?I'm used to being busy and I have a great work ethic. I am definitely driven by money. Not sure what my next steps should be - possible career change? To be the right hand EA for a busy CEO with a demanding schedule calls for being on call 24/7 - don't think I want that again. Don't mind if it's occasional like my previous job in Vegas but don't want to be out to dinner on a Saturday night, Mother's Day etc and have my boss call me with something urgent that just came up and needs immediate attention.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would work for a CEO who is either retired or slowing down so not always on the go, on tons of boards with a schedule that for the most part does not change all the time. I would help them manage their calendar, schedule meetings/calls, schedule their travel, help manage their private property etc. Track their donations, draft their emails, monitor their inbox etc.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am not getting interviews for the few jobs I applied for (learned not to say 20+ years of experience). I am only receiving contact from low level jobs where they expect the world without commensurate pay.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a caster that I look forward to go to and allows me to spend time with my child. I don’t need to make millions but I’d like to have enough money to live comfortably and travel with my kid.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenges would be that I don’t have an idea of what I want to do/ what I’m passionate about and free time to discover that is minimal. I work three jobs (one full time and two part time) and I am a single mother off a one year old.
What do you want instead?The fact that I have to work everyday instead of spending time with my child is difficult for me to accept. I’m exhausted and barely able to pay basic bills.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Balance between enjoying my job, feeling like a competent parent, and making a reasonable living would greatly improve my overall mental health and relationships.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I’ve struggled with seeking out something I’d like to do my whole life and now I have a child who depends on me and I want to be balanced for her own well-being.

I have considered retail, consumer goods, technology, entertainment and media. The range is diverse and I need some coaching and guidance in finding the right fit for myself.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I'm looking to make a career / industry switch as I have been in financial services for almost my entire career. I don't exactly know where I want to go from here so I find it challenging to look for jobs.
What do you want instead?I don't think there's a direct impact on other aspects of my life, but I feel like I'm at a point where I can switch to something that I would enjoy more as I don't have any compelling reasons not to do so.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I were happy in my career, I wouldn't see my job as 'work' or something I have to do as opposed to want to do.
What is causing you to seek help right now?While it has been on my mind for a few years, I think with recent developments in my life & career, I am finally in a good place to actively consider switching careers, but I don't know where and how to start.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to switch career path and find passion for a new line of work. I cherish very much the old feeling of finishing design projects and delivery to customer, with a team full of commitment, united among a common goal. I hope a new career path can re-ignite that passion.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I was in the Consumer Electronics Design industry, very high pace and demanding schedules. My last position was Project Manager responsible for multiple 6-12 member design teams. Throughout the years, I have found myself troubled by the fluctuation of the deadlines and unable to carry out design plans due to requirement changes. After leaving my last company, I find myself hard to get interviews/offers in same industry and also skeptical to further career in similar roles.
What do you want instead?I have had relationships ended because of the demanding work schedule. And over the years, my health has seen declines and sometimes wild emotion swings. Needless to say, happiness was hard to come by. The passion for work has diminished quite a lot.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Have driving force for everyday challenge, communicate with experts from different fields and unite around a common goal. Also, work/life balance is achieved through smarter time management, and not mixing these two distinct focuses.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have been away from job hunting a bit to regain my physical health and mental wellness. After some job searching and coaching, I would need to further improve myself on finding a new career path.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would love to work a job where I am doing something different every day. I have a lot more experience in the administrative and project management side of things, so I hope I can start an entry level position in a creative industry doing something along those lines. However, I am not entirely sure exactly what I want to do which I do feel like is part of the problem.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I do not know where I want to go with my career, I graduated with a Mechanical Engineering degree and I want to go into Real Estate or a more creative field like Fashion or Entertainment
What do you want instead?This challenge mainly affect my relationship with my parents and my own stress because I think my parents have this reality for me in their head, they want me to be an engineer for some reason and I think they feel that the creative industry doesn't require as much intelligence or hard work. With my own stress, I am just stressed about money and also sad because I normally have to work on weekends with a part time job and it doesn't align with all my friend's normal 9-5 M-F schedules so I am unable to spend time and build good relationships with them.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be able to develop better relationships with my friends because I would be able to work during the week and not on weekends. I will be fulfilled with the job because it will be in an industry I want to work to move up in. I will be able to pay for all the things I need to such as rent, utilities, food, gas, etc. along with things I want but aren't necessities, I will be able to save and invest money as well.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have been on the job search for almost a year now, I feel like it has been too long to keep doing what i'm doing now and expecting different results. I want to work with someone who knows better about job searching than I do. I am a person who likes structure so.I feel like a coach will give me that

I was thinking of accelerating my degree to nursing so I may work 3/12 shifts and have 4 days off. That would allow me the flexibility while being able to keep up with LA cost of living!
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I wish I could be more detailed in answering this but I’m in a catch 22 scenario. It is easier to discuss than than to explain here. Helpful things to note: 1) I’m a military veteran. 2) I was a single parent and I’ve completed that task. He is now 20 and in college. 3) I just hit my 40th! I need to either change or build on whatever I have. 4) My degrees are semi-worthless (to a certain degree) play on words there! This pandemic has really got me thinking (more) about security.
What do you want instead?It’s affecting my feeling of being secured. Nothing can ruin my health or happiness, that’s in tact. In terms of relationships, I don’t bother. Don’t care much for dating.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to find a position as an Executive in Residence with a private equity firm engaged in turning around or preparing companies for sale. I have successfully founded a company, bought and/or sold 3 companies. I do have an innate ability to turnaround organizations quickly and efficiently. My past financial success, affords me the luxury of earning compensation as a success fee or equity participation. I do want a flexible base (everyone should have some financial commitment) bit do not require any benefits.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am 67 years old. I negotiated and closed the sale of my last employer for approximately $128 million. I was COO/CFO at the firm for 26 years. In a single digit growth year I earned around $600K. In a great year I earned over $1.0 million in salary and bonus. Financially I am set for the rest of my life. Money is not a challenge. Finding a challenge is one of my biggest challenges. I have not written a resume or cover letter since I graduated from college. I know I need help.
What do you want instead?I am happily married. My wife is an SVP at Wells Fargo. All of my kids have graduated college. Two are attorneys, one works for the state and the youngest is applying to med school. Everyone is hard at work but me. I am happiest when I have what seem like insurmountable challenges. I
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I am happiest when I am under pressure to perform. I always set my own goals & challenge myself to exceed those goals. I love that adrenaline rush. When most people are on the verge of hyperventilating, I tend to become focused, relaxed and determined. I am happiest when there is a hill to take.
What is causing you to seek help right now?As I mentioned previously, I have no idea how to craft a resume using today’s key words and expressions. I updated my LinkedIn profile in 30 minutes to dissuade unknown folks from contacting me. If I get in front of a decision maker, I have a high probability of closing in my favor. However, as in my previous businesses I need a brand, collateral and a pitch.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am recently unemployed after working in sales in the Advertising Technology field for many years. Due to the disruptive nature of this field, for the past 15 years, since going from print to digital advertising, I have had to change jobs every couple of years.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a job which is based in Southern California (ideally San Diego) which is challenging. I'd like to develop new skill sets, particularly in business (finance, strategy, leadership etc) . I'd like to earn enough money to maintain my and my husband's lifestyle. I have led large programs in difficult environments (14 countries), with a large staff (550+ employees) and a large budget (USD 50 million/ year) and I want to be able to use my skills in a new way.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have spent the last decade working in humanitarian aid in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Due to border closures because of the pandemic and because of a family illness in the US, I am now working remotely from California. This is unsustainable as my job requires me to be in-country (currently Lesotho). I believe that I will need to be in the US for the next one to two years and need to find a job which is based in Southern California. This will likely require switching to a new industry. Truthfully, I've wanted to be a humanitarian since I was 15 years old and never seriously considered working in the private, government or academic sectors. I'm not sure what I'm qualified for or even what's out there.
What do you want instead?My whole life is changing. Not only am I living back in the US (in my parents home) but, my husband is living in Kenya. We just got married in January and were supposed to be living together in Africa now. He can come to the US and we can start the Green card application process for him (He is British) but will not be able to work for a time as we wait for that process to conclude. Therefore, I need to find a new job which can support us both (including benefits). Additionally, being forced out of a career which I love and a lifestyle in which I was thriving is emotionally difficult. I am excited for a chance to learn something new but am afraid that I dont have the right skills or that I will be bored.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Balanced, beautiful, meaningful.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?One of my biggest problems is that I am unsure as to what I want. I feel like my work as an intellectual property analyst contributes nothing to the world. I want to feel like my work matters to people, and I want to be able to afford a house and give my future kids the life and support that they deserve.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenges when it comes to my career are not knowing what I want to do, and possibly not having the appropriate education to transition into a career I would be passionate about. My name is Robert Casal. I am 35 and am feeling lost and stuck in my career. I began my professional life as a music teacher, then became a composer, followed by doing compliance work for a city agency, and am now an intellectual property analyst for a video game company. I have lost almost all passion for my work, and feel like I'm in a canoe without a paddle on the open sea. The financial realities of the future are bearing down on me, and I am seeking to discover a new career that I am passionate about with upward mobility and a reasonable work-life balance. My first major problem however is, I don't know what I want to do anymore. Upon a search for career coaching, your website came up as a top-rated company. As such, I am reaching out to schedule a consultation.
What do you want instead?These challenges are holding me back financially. Homeownership seems out of reach, and planning to have kids in the future seems like an impossibility at the moment. This has dragged down my happiness and I fear for my professional and personal future.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I was happy in my career, I would leave work many nights feeling like I had accomplished at least something important in the day, collaborating with other motivated, personable, and capable colleagues. I would come home and eat dinner with my wife, in the house that we recently bought because we could finally afford one.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am seeking coaching after encouragement from my wife. I have been stuck in the same job making mostly the same money for the last four years, in a field I never imagined myself in, nor that I enjoy. I like the company I work for, however, there is no upward mobility for this position and I find the work to be soulless. I enjoy writing music most of all, but the realities of freelance music composition don't line up with my desired financial or work/life balance goals. Therefore, I am seeking guidance to figure out what I am good at, and where I can go.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want financial stability and a social life again.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Finding a job is harder than ever. It used to be so easy. Submit your application, you'd receive a call within days, go to the interview, wow them with your personality and knowledge and get a call asking when can you start. Today, it's extremely difficult to get to the finish line. It's affected my confidence tremendously. To go from not having any issues to suddenly having too many, is discouraging.
What do you want instead?I've been more depressed lately. Although i'm naturally a positive person. I've been a hermits. Not working has affected me mostly financially. I detest being finally unstable.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Full.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm evidently missing something and I'm not too proud to ask.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to be financially stable and set in my life. I want to send my kids to a good school and I want to contribute financially to my family when I am older. I want to work in my future even after I have kids. I want to be happy every day and I do not want to be burnt out. I want to attract a husband who values my career and I want to be proud of what i am doing, as I do not feel proud right now.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have trouble figuring out if the career I have chosen (marriage and family therapy) is the correct path for me. I have various different interests in very different fields and my jobs are in the marketing field. I have no previous work or school experience in the psychology field, before this program.. I really need help figuring out if being a therapist will fulfill my needs and desires for what I look for in my job. I need guidance and help to figure out what I truly want to do in the future and who I want to be. I want to get a higher degree and education- I want to become somebody and have a business one day. I'm used to marketing products or someone else, so it has been hard for me to understand how to market myself. I don't believe in myself enough. There are cultural expectations placed upon me to become a doctor or lawyer and I am not doing either of those.
What do you want instead?I definitely think about money because I know therapy is not a valued field where I will make a lot of money. I want to be successfully stable and I don't want to settle for a job where I will not make a lot of money. I also don't know if I want to sit and listen to problems all day, but I do know I want to help people in the future. This may impact my relationships because I have been told that a guy will not want to marry a therapist because they analyze problems. I know this field will benefit my mental health and help me grow as a person, while I am able to form more meaningful relationships.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would make a lot of money without having to physically use my body to make money (ex: I wouldn't only make money by doing an hour long therapy session). I would make money in my sleep. I would wake up every day happy and ready. I would interact with new people and form new connections with people. I will make a difference in the world and bring something to the community I am in- the persian community.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have been struggling for 2 years to figure out my career. In college, I didn't think this far ahead which I regret. I never had a specific passion or career goal. I have been searching for guidance for a long time. I was sick and tired of not making moves and enrolling in a program, so I decided that MFT was the most logical option. No GRE /GMAT was required and I didn't need prerequisites - it sounded like the fastest option. I also thought it would be awesome to learn about these things that will help me in my present and in my future. I do like learning about psychology but I always worry about the future. I just want to be successful in my field.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I am currently looking at a non-profit position and not 100% sure if I should stay in non-profit or go back into a sales management/individual contributor role.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I've been the sports industry for over 20 years and with the onset of Covid-19 my executive-level job search will be challenging.
What do you want instead?I relocated my family (husband) to Memphis, TN to take this last position with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. We've enjoyed our three years living here and ready to relocate to the following states and/or cities - Colorado, California, Utah, Chicago, or NYC.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I was very happy in my career until Covid-19 hit.
What is causing you to seek help right now?The tough job market in the sports and non-profit industry.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Financial freedom and freedom to work on projects of my own design.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Deciding which direction to go next. Committed to the vision of what entrepreneurship means to me, but would like help figuring the what and how.
What do you want instead?I feel like I only lack the sense of fulfillment that I hope to achieve once I land on the right path.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be able to live without doubting my decisions because I would know I was working on projects that fulfill me.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Career and business crossroads. I've been wanting to "take some time" to assess my skills and see what I can offer an ope marketplace. The forced break from my usual line of work has afforded me the opportunity to do so. I want to ensure the time I have is maximized. To date, I've relied on my own motivation and accountability and have not achieved the heights I aspire to.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a job where I can work normal hours, that I can feel fulfilled in. I have my own projects that I'm working on on the side, and those are important to me, but those may take years to bear fruit (if ever). I need something that affords me a living in the meantime, ideally with opportunities to use skills that aren't just art-oriented.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I'm a storyboard artist for television animation. I'm extremely burned out, unfulfilled, and bored. I'm compensated well compared to my peers in my field, but I still feel like I'm not getting anything out of the long hours I work. I came to animation not because of any particular passion for the medium but because I was seeking stability and decent benefits; it now feels like a golden cage.
What do you want instead?I'm unhappy and frustrated, mostly. The burnout makes it difficult to find energy or focus to make art on my downtime. And, of course, my negative feelings toward my job make each day -- especially the long ones -- feel like pure drudgery.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?It's reductive, but I'd be happy. I don't have a family, so my work is my whole life. (Which is why it's incumbent, too, that I find something that makes me happier. If work takes up such a huge chunk of my mind, I need it to be something that doesn't make me miserable.)
What is causing you to seek help right now?A very bad period of overwork in the spring coupled with a rejection from a major publisher on a project when I'd made it to the final step prior to an offer. I'd hoped that offer would help me begin the transition into my dream career, but now that I'm back to querying, I need to find a job that can keep me going while not draining all my energy from the things I love. Additionally, I'm hoping coaching will expose me to possibilities I don't know exist. I wasn't aware of storyboarding when I graduated from college; I hope you might have some insights into careers that aren't on my radar.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to find a career that allows me autonomy, and creative expression somewhere in the health/wellness/fitness industry where I find my most passion. My side hustle is that of a (dance) fitness instructor, and that brings me utmost happiness and satisfaction in many ways.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Finding the best fit for my skills and actually enjoying what I do. I find I end up in jobs that are not fulfilling and end up being so performance based that I never can live up to those expectations even though I am very competitive and determined. Not sure I should be in the sales arena like my last few jobs have been...
What do you want instead?Not succeeding the way I envision, and not meeting job demands (quotas, goals, etc) and then losing my last job (Covid and performance based), have left me confused and fearful for my next career steps.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Light and rewarding.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel stuck and confused at to what I'm truly good at and how to apply my existing skills and experience to that of a job I actually like doing.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to know that what I spend my time, energy, and resources learning and doing is effective at accomplishing something that matters. At research institutes, I have tried to convince myself that what I do matters, but this view tend to be superficial at best. I want to do something that makes sense in the big picture and is able to provide well for my family.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Feeling stuck and out of place. I have worked at research institute like place for over a decade - the environment is like professional academia. At research institute, it seems like everything thing turns into a research problem followed by a funding crisis. This law of instrument approach has caused me a great deal of frustration over the years especially when a clear cut business solution will sufficiently solve a problem.
What do you want instead?The challenges have me questioning my worth, how I can best make a contribution and how to grow professionally. I have thoughts that I may be at the pinnacle of my career and with one misstep I could tumble. I do continue to try to have some success, but I feel I am on a mental roller coaster and dragging my family along for the ride.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I were happy in career it would help bring tremendous relief to a long line of questioning and anxiety from the dilemma I constantly carry. It would be a good feeling to be proud of my accomplishments rather than facing a since of despair.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I started a new role with a new company almost two years ago and it has provided some great opportunities. My family and I moved from GA to CA for me to take the new position. Unfortunately, over the last 6 months I have been getting the same sinking feeling that I put up with for several year at my last job. I am concerned that I may be getting in a vicious circle and want to take action before it is too late.

I also like a flexible work environment and have found that I work very well telecommuting but would also like to have some in-person interaction.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Making a change. I get comfortable in my current role and have a hard time moving forward. Also, I've only worked in small labor markets and have obtained my jobs fairly easily. I'm having a tough time with the rejection that comes with applying to jobs in markets with large labor pools. Also, in my current position I work fairly independently and there is a lack of collaboration that I feel is missing.
What do you want instead?My lack of movement toward change is affecting my marriage. My husband and I have plans to move out of state. He got a job and has moved and I have not. This is causing considerable strain on our marriage.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would have a fulfilling position where I contribute to the success of the organization while being able to have a good work/life balance. I want to be able to enjoy life both within and outside my career.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am stuck in my job search and it's impacting my marriage.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like to make more money and continue to be able to work with people that I enjoy. I would like more decision making opportunities at work, and to feel like I am giving back to my community.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I don't have a career, I have a job. We returned to Southern California in 2009 and I have remained in my job where I am underemployed. The organization where I work does not allow upward mobility, so although I enjoy the people on my team and feel like I make a difference in children's and family's lives with whom I work, I am not sufficiently financially compensated for it.
What do you want instead?Not making enough money is a source of stress, because I worry about student loans and my future retirement. I also often wish I contributed more financially to our household.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would feel like I was reaching my potential in the workplace, and would have less financial stress. I would look forward to going to work everyday and be proud to tell people what I do for a living.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel less job security because of the dip in the economy right now. I also do not feel confident in the decisions that my work administration makes regarding my value and I worry that this may affect my personal safety due to Covid-19.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like to learn new skills, habits, and techniques to capitalize on what I already do well, while further developing the areas in which I struggle. I want to feel confident in my work performance and my ability to lead a meeting, speak at an event, or manage a group of people.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Like many people, I kind of "fell into" what I'm doing now, which is Administrative Secretary work. I am studying to be a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT), but that is going to take time, so for now, I want to feel good about what I am doing every day. I've always found it to ironic that someone with my personality and weaknesses (empathetic, a people person, but slightly disorganized and very scatterbrained) wound up assisting a high-level administrator with her scheduling and management tasks! I cant even keep my own life straight! Lately, I've been feeling overwhelmed and that I could be performing the essential functions of my position more accurately, expediently, and overall, more effectively. Additionally, I have a huge phobia associated with public speaking that would be great to conquer. If you think you could help me, I'd love to work with you!
What do you want instead?I think that my inability to get organized, focus on the task at hand, and develop systems have kept me from being promoted and have left me feeling inadequate, or even sometimes, incompetent. This creates a tremendous amount of self-doubt and insecurity that spills over to all areas of my life. I truly believe that job satisfaction creates contentment at home as well.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be unstoppable!!
What is causing you to seek help right now?Currently, I have a nightmare supervisor who is constantly criticizing me, making me feel pretty unsure of my future at the organization. Maybe it is a good wake up call, but I've never hated a job more than I hate the one I'm in!

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to better understand my potential. My strengths. How I can show a company my value beyond being an ex fitness professional. I want guidance. To be coached.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Currently, my biggest challenge is navigating how to make a career transition. I spent 15 years in the fitness industry, primarily in leadership based roles. Another challenge to align with making the career transition is knowing and being 100% sure of what I want to do, and where I want to go with this transition.
What do you want instead?These challenges are impacting my life by making me feel anxious, stressed, defeated at times, confused, scared .... and causing me to procrastinate a lot of the time, bc I often times just don't know where to start, or what the next best step to take would be. Feeling lost ... feeling uncertian.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I was happy in my career, my life would feel easy! It wouldn't feel like I wasn't working. It would feel like I'm doing something I love, and that lights my soul on fire and excites me to go to work because I am having an impact on others or an organization, while making a difference. I'd have a strong sense of work life balance. I wouldn't lose sight of my passions beyond the workplace. I wouldn't come home feeling stressed daily or worried about work.
What is causing you to seek help right now?My inability to confidently feel that I can navigate changing careers successfully on my own.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like to know I bring value to my team, company, and clients. I would like to use all of my talents and skill set. I would like to look forward to and be excited about my work again. I would like my total compensation package to allow for me to complete my Masters degree and attend conferences that enhance my skills and abilities for the benefit of my team, employer, and clients.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am currently pigeon-holed in my job. I do not feel valued for the work I do - org changes occurred 8/19 and I don’t think my VP understands my value, skill set, etc. Having trouble feeling excited to go to work any more and that is not typical for me. Org changes moved us to remote work with clients 8/19 and i am finding it to be less effective/efficient in accomplishing our goals. The salary increases have not kept pace with the cost of living increases and the total compensation package is effectively decreased over my tenure. I need to determine whether this is the right job or company for me any longer.
What do you want instead?This is the first time in more than 25 years that I do not have discretionary time or money. I am used to looking forward to and loving my work and have struggled with this since 12/19. No longer able to put $ into savings - first time that is true in decades.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would look forward to work everyday. I would use the talents and skills I possess. I would be valued for those talents and skills.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Need to decide whether I am in the right job/company.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a career change, or at least a transition to something can make myself accomplishment and happy. I have real estate license in California since several years ago, but never dare to do it full time because I need the money to make a living and support my family. In my heart, I always want to try something new because engineering job never made me feel fulfilling or comfortable. Every day when I need to go to work as an engineer, I don't feel relax. But when I think of something like helping other people to buy or sell a house, I feel comfortable, relax and happy.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenges are I am feeling stuck in my career without any advancement right now. I am a software QA engineer for more than 20 years, and I worked with quite a few big companies as a contractor, I always work hard and do good job, but never got promoted. Until recently, did I realize people 20 years younger than me became my boss, and they know about the profession much less than me.
What do you want instead?I don't feel accomplishment at all at work. I would like to share my experience with the young people, but they don't value my skills and experience. Even my responsibilities are limited, I feel I can contribute more to the team, but they don't want me to take the responsibilities because of their fears to lose their job.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I am seeking accomplishment, happy, get along with people well at work, if I had those, my life will be happier.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I want a career advancement or a career transition, I need someone to point out the right direction for my situation and the action plans.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I need to find a career-track position in commercial real estate finance that may not pay six figures from the start, but could clearly lead in that direction.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am a late career changer. I'm 35 years old, and I just completed my MBA two years ago. I have a decade of experience in finance, and I'm trying to enter commercial real estate now. The problem that I run into time and again is that I'm too experienced for most junior positions (I keep hearing that I'm overqualified), but simultaneously, I do not have the required years of experience to take a more senior position. To that end, it seems that I have a chicken-and-egg problem. I need help figuring out how to enter the industry at a level that allows me to get up to speed while also providing sufficient income. I recently lost a position in commercial real estate mortgage brokerage, so now I'm unemployed with just a few months of relevant CRE experience to sell on my resume. I need to build up credibility, skills and network in commercial real estate.
What do you want instead?I feel like I've been underpaid my whole life, but since graduating with my MBA I felt that even more acutely. I know that I'm worth six figures, but I cannot figure out how to convince others of that. Aside from the financial repercussions low pay brings, the higher pay would bring me more satisfaction with my career, as I would feel valued for what I do. My wife has been taking my unemployment hard with anxiety about finances and my career, so our relationship has been in a difficult position for a while.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would have a professional position that would ideally allow some flexibility to work from home as needed. I know that a strict 9-5 is untenable at certain professional levels, but a position that respects the fact that I have a life and need personal time would be a step in the right direction. I would like to be salaried close to six figures, and incentivized for outstanding performance, bringing in a steady and strong stream of income.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel like I've been out in the job market so often and with such delayed and underwhelming results that I'm convinced that I'm doing it wrong. I try to network in addition to applying to jobs online, but I haven't seen any fruit from this outreach. With the pandemic increasing unemployment to Depression levels, I need to get smarter about looking for work, and I finally need to find the position that I've been seeking that will put me on a career path at a growing company.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to be able to be available to my young children but feel like I contribute to society through my career and skills set.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I my interests and skills do not neat fit with my degrees Suffer from imposter's syndrome and feeling of failure from past job experience. Looking to change fields or direction.
What do you want instead?I am very independent and the strain of not working, having a career I enjoy , not bring in income effects my overall sense of worth and happiness. Being self reliant is ingrained in me and I want to have a sense of belong.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would enjoy the work and help others find solutions to their problems.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have spent 13 years working at the national labs with a sense of not belonging, not achieving and not appreciated. I began looking for work 6 months ago and though I have trying to learn more and sharpen my skills I feel as though I should be able to find an opportunity to start over. The jobs I have applied and successfully gone through the last round of interviews have fallen short. I am looking for guidance and perspective to be in a field and in a career where I can grow and achieve my desires.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I understand that I am in the early stages of my career. I am young and full of ambition with a strong sense of adventure. I'd love to try voice acting, I'm an amateur free lance graphic designer, I know I have a lot of interests, but less experience. My dreams are to live in places like Japan & France (languages I am both proficient in), but I understand I need to establish my career first and my first mission is to move to Los Angeles and begin my career first and get an understanding of what would be the next best step.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?There are three big challenges: 1. I am aiming for more creative industries, entertainment, marketing, in which I have less experience and my "traditional" business resume prevents me from getting jobs I can both do and excel in. 2. Identifying the right career fit for my personality / ambitions (what motivates me, what culture do I need, what environment do I work well in, etc.) that will help me feel fulfilled. 3. Representing myself across the country is extremely difficult, especially with the current market. I often feel like if I don't have a connection at a firm, I'm never going to get a job.
What do you want instead?I really appreciate you asking this question, my work isn't my whole life. Financially, I'm doing well, I'd prefer a better salary, but I could definitely see myself being paid less for a job that is more fulfilling. I've been living in Boston for 8 years now (college & post college) and my current job has been sedating and makes it difficult to be excited about the rest of the things going on my life. So generally I've been less happy. I hang out with friends and have fun, but I've had less motivation to work on myself until recently.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be excited to go to work where I am creating original ideas in a collaborative environment and can look back on each day with a sense of accomplishment. The environment is encouraging, but also a modern day work place (like a Wework) where what you wear and whether or not you got in at work a 9:00 on the dot is less of a concern. And the focus is on what people are creating and coming around project they are creating.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've always thought "I need a coach, a coach would help me access my untapped potential, challenge me, and push me in a way I can't push myself". I transferred colleges and worked with a coach and got into 14 out of the 15 I applied to. Having a coach channel my ideas and guide me is terrific for me. I need help from someone who knows how I should be presenting myself as I try and move across the country and get a job.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Instead, I'd like a career in which I can work creatively, or working with creatives, towards an aligned mission of which I am proud. I'd like that to have a positive impact on people, whether in a major or minor way.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenges have been working for a company whose mission I align with, and in a role in which I feel accomplished, happy, and satisfied.
What do you want instead?These challenges have been impacting my mental health and my happiness. I feel that I lack direction in my current job as I do am not happy there and do not see myself there long term, which leads to me feeling lackong career purpose.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Ideally, if I was happier with my career, I would feel as if my life had more direction and purpose. I'd also have a career in which I could strive to improve in long term.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have tried using other recruiters and job seeking myself, but I have been unsuccessful in finding an opportunity that has been a fit for me. I could use some advice, a different perspective from a valued source, and help in making connections to make my career pursuit a success.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to make an impact, I want to leave my mark, I want to learn new skills, I want to either start my own thing or have a job with excellent benefits (not only health, but education incentives, perks, higher pay grade), and I want my employer to see my value in the longterm -investing in my growth.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have worked in the non-profit sector for the past ten years. This has been an exceptional space to grow quickly, become a self-starter, and carve a personalized leadership pathway. However, the non-profit world tends to haphazardly curate teams. In my leadership role, I've been able to create a "dream team," but I want to be in a work environment where my creativity and passion is matched and challenged by co-workers. I also am in a space where I would like to build my personal wealth, which is extremely limited in this sector.
What do you want instead?All-in-all I am "okay," but I worry that I am spending my best years working so hard to move a needle forward that realistically will never move forward... I need my work to be impactful, but I am not willing to burn myself out working for inefficient teams. I'm in a space where I don't feel like I can live the way I'd like to (not being paid my worth) or have the balance to thrive (the grind of working hard with no resources).
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I were happy in my career, I would have more headspace for relationships, traveling, living the lifestyle that I want. I would have natural energy from being able to leverage my strengths and feeling in sync.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I literally have no idea where to begin when it comes to leaving the non-profit sector. I have been successful in the nonprofit sector but I worry that my skills won't translate or I'll have to start from scratch. I feel stuck in a career path that I'm "bored" with.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Just to do the right thing, the rest doesn't matter. Center myself and remember how short life is, remembering that I'm no better or worse than anyone else.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I tend to care for and advocate for clients whereas the company just wants to hit their numbers.
What do you want instead?I'm 6-8 years out to retirement and I feel like I want to apply my life to a bigger vision, economic success, yes. But not at the expense of others.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would fulfill my yearning for a life of purpose. I wouldn't feel as if I'm walking on eggshells and worried about what others think. I would say that I want to and surround myself with people who want the best for the best part of me, as opposed to existing in a place where the value structure doesn't align with mine. I've decided that I'm never going to do anything that diminishes me or my values. I feel a sense of contempt for companies and people who trod upon their so-called "clients" Companies and people who convince others to purchase a product that they know to be below par. What I've found is that a righteous person takes his life in his hands every time he utters the truth. I want to work with people who are changing the world one person at a time.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I bootstrapped, then acquired funding for a tech startup in the real estate tech vertical, grew it, and then I sold the company in Feb 2018. Since then, I have been the VP of Growth at the acquiring firm. As an entrepreneur and founder, I once called the shots, and we got things done fast and efficiently. Now, my expertise isn't properly weighted while others, whose opinions are not based experience in the trenches, seem to trump mine. It feels like I'm an outsider with little actionable influence.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Business at the firm has slowed down drastically. I'd like to take this time to explore what kind of work is out that fits my personality, skill set and lifestyle. I frankly don't know what my options would be nor do I know if my skills are transferable.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am currently working as a criminal defense attorney (adult and juvenile). (7 years as a Public Defender and nearly 5 at a private firm). Although I enjoy many aspects of my profession, other aspects don't quite line up. I would prefer to work in a system that focuses on rehabilitation/helping rather than retribution. The stakes and expectations are often very high. Although I enjoy offering compassion and guidance to those in need, there is a draining quality of being in a adversarial system. Even though I shine in the social, compassionate and guiding aspects of my work, I would be perfectly happy never doing another trial again.
What do you want instead?I joined the private firm to get away from the burn out from the public defender's office. In that regard it was a positive change, I am happier, healthier (physically/spiritually/mentally) and less stressed. I have a great work environment and hours are flexible, but the money isn't great. I am not sure I'd like to do this type of work for the rest of my life. I feel like I am going through the motions at this point. I feel like the move to private practice is a move for self-preservation rather than growth.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I am actually pretty happy, but I feel like it is time for a change. It would be nice to work in a field that is a bit more positive yet flexible. I am also considering moving back to the bay area where I grew up. My family and many friends are still up there.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have the free time to follow through.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career????? I want more control of my life. I always come back to wanting to start a company, but I'm not a great ideas person. While I like (sometimes love) my industry, I want to feel like I'm contributing something more meaningful to the world. The future has always been foggy to me, so I continue to do what I know - book my next show, rinse, repeat. If I need to have a clearly defined goal going into coaching, I might not be the person to benefit from this.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I work as a freelance television editor. I am burning out over the lack of control and unpredictable hours. I want to have more ownership over what I'm doing, or at least have something more reliable.
What do you want instead?Raising two young children is at odds with my industry and I have to work hard for a work/life balance. My husband and I work as much as possible and we are struggling to be middle class. My kids need space/house/yard, I feel like we are on a hamster wheel and can't get off - but also that our current life is a "best case scenario" for the path I'm on. My marriage is suffering as we only get one or two nights out a year. We have no family support and most of our money has gone to childcare. Overall - I want a big change. I want my story to be more interesting.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would inspire others, most days would have a level of excitement. I'd have more control over my schedule. I would feel more confident and like a leader, I would be a better role model to my children. I wouldn't have to say no to every school event and social or networking event. I'd be in a position to mentor and give back.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Before Covid-19 I was burning out on the constant hustle to find employment. I have been overwhelmingly successful with my ability to stay employed, but every new job/show brought unknown hours, commutes, bosses, and personalities. I was missing almost all of my time with my young children and they were reacting negatively to my absence. With the corona virus I am facing many months of unemployment, which is a whole other set of panic. I want to control my own narrative and not have life pass me by.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like a remote work position, where I am an impactful individual contributor. I love process and documentation and making sure things flow. While I have management experience and would be happy to oversee people, I don't want to do so in a dysfunctional workplace, that makes it difficult to do right by your employees.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Being a woman in IT Operations, despite my many years of experience, sometimes leaves me feeling undervalued, under appreciated, and creates situations where my knowledge is dismissed. Being an introvert by nature, I am sure that when I make a strong and well-defended position that is dismissed, my silent retreat does not help the situation. Currently I have a boss who is very sales-focused overseeing an operations position. He is someone who lacks little practical knowledge about "how things work" and is focused on "getting the next PO" before the solution is ready to go-to-market. At the director-level, I would expect more directional focus and power to accomplish (or fail) than the current micro-management and "stamp" that my current VP boss has to put on everything. The latter feels more like overcompensation for his lack of knowledge in the Operations space. I am not one for needing credit and praise, but I would like to see my contributions and opinions taken more seriously. It's not all about my boss; one of the reasons I am coming to you is that in the past, I have never really had to formally interview for a job. This may sound counterintuitive to everything I said above, but almost all of the jobs I have ever had is because someone who did appreciate my work, brought me on to the next position. I have always been a very flexible generalist, able to pick up new things, which sometimes makes it hard to have a decisive next step, i.e. where exactly would I look.
What do you want instead?I feel tied to the job for the salary. I feel that after a few years of dismissive management combined with the generalist make it hard for me to establish a "brand" as your coaching recommends. I sometimes feel under-qualified for jobs that I am sure I could do, but am not good at explaining why I would be the right fit, simply because I have not had the practice to sell myself.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would not end my day reliving the challenges of that day. I would pull back less than I am starting to do because the loudest voices in the room run people over. I would end my day feeling accomplished rather than defeated. I would not question why, as has been the case in my last two positions, that people I manage make the same or more than I do. I am not unhappy with my current salary, but the disparity simply adds to the feeling of being undervalued. I would be writing these statements in a more positive fashion, rather than telling you the things I would not be doing.
What is causing you to seek help right now?A few things. My husband and I both work at the same company, so some paycheck diversity would be nice. But most of all, my current situation leaves me at odds with my manager more that I would like. I have reached the point of burnout. I would like to pull back less and participate more confidently.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?A big part of it just simply leaving my group. The issues I work on are interesting, but there are just so many process, staffing, and data issues that make work unbearable. Many people were unhappy and left. And as mentioned before, I am trying to make a small pivot into corporate sustainability, which is a competitive field.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am trying to pivot into corporate sustainability - it has been difficult to make a small career shift (I am currently work in clean energy and decarbonization strategies for the energy sector). In my current job, I am quite unhappy and dissatisfied. My job requires an intensive amount of strategic thinking, developing new processes and there are issues related to staff, data and modeling. These things are normal in any job, but management and processes have been terrible - about 50% of the staff left last year.
What do you want instead?My mental health and happiness has greatly suffered.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My overall life and mental health would be better. Work has been overwhelming and truly negatively impacted my life.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I would really like to improve my interview skills. I often make it through interview rounds (and I am an especially good interview via phone interviews), but there I know there is still a lot of room for improvement. 1. I can be more concise and clear in my interview answers - I have a tendency to ramble. 2. I can improve how my skills apply to the positions. 3. I can improve my closing statement (it is awkward for me to do this). 4. I get flustered and it is sometimes hard for me to think on the fly.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to lead, grow, learn, teach, create. I want to do work that I am passionate about - that I actually feel like I can participate in the lifecycle of autonomously. I want work that allows me to build a legacy.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?1. Career Development 2. Career Advancement 3. Having value for the work I do
What do you want instead?Relationships: I am lucky that my family is solid. Super supportive. I sometimes feel I don't deserve them. I often put work and the hustle to advance above them. Money: I don't make as much as I should (I feel) for the amount of work I do as well as tenure and experience. However, I am currently on unpaid furlough. Health: My health went south around September 2019. I am young and active (yoga and fitness), but now am dealing with high blood pressure. I was on a heart monitor up until February 2019. I am 39 years old. Happiness: I could definitely be much happier. I am currently feeling as though I lack purpose in my current role.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be able to adequately feed my other passions in life like yoga, fitness and mental health. I'd have more time for my family - they would finally have all of me.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have been unable to gain mentorship or leader sponsorship. I have been working hard with my current employer for 5 years and have pick up some accolades. I am afraid if I don't take a more active approach to my career, I will 1) end up in the same role 30 years later like most of my peers and 2) end up doing work that does not move me at all.

What is causing you to seek help right now?Like all things i have gone through my life with my wife, I have come to the conclusion that it is best to get help from professionals rather than trying myself and shooting in the dark.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to be financially stable beyond my wildest dreams. I want to travel all over the world. I want to create my own projects and have my investors investing on them. I want to collaborate with amazing artists all over the world. I want to continue working with my amazing clients (studios, networks, brands...). I want to have a voice in this world. I want to help changing it through art and community.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have 15 years of professional experience in the entertainment industry in Europe and Los Angeles. I have a MFA Degree. I launched my production company a few years ago and I have built an impressive portfolio of work. I was able to sponsor myself for a green card with my own production company. I am so ready to step into the next level of my career where I can have the financial freedom I crave, where I am doing my own projects, where I continue working for my amazing clients (studios, networks, brands...) and collaborating with other amazing artist worldwide. In this level everything flows, it's effortless, it's about quality more than quantity. I have visualized myself in this place many, many times. However there are obstacles on the way that haven't allowed me to reach that level yet. And I don't know what these obstacles are.
What do you want instead?This situation is affecting my financial freedom and my happiness. I'm tired of the financial ups and downs. I don't want to give up my current freedom and everything I have been building for the last decade in order to work for a company and for someone else's dreams. There has to be a way I can do this. I am sure is simpler and more methodical than my mind is making it to be. That's why I need guidance and help.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My life will be balance and fun. I would be able to help so many people in this world.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I need to step into the next level of my career. I need to learn how to make things differently. A change of perspective.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to be able to lead international projects in the area of clean energies and help them to be assessed, deployed, and sustained. Through the development of these projects, I want to impact the different communities positively. I want to focus my career on making a real difference by helping governments, entities, and organizations envisioning, developing, and implementing clean energies. I think a development bank or ONG would encompass everything I want.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Finding the right opportunity and talking to the right person. I know I have a lot of skills and passions that I have developed during my studies and carrer, but many times I do not know how to get to the person/team that needs my skills and present myself and show that I am the ideal candidate for a position.
What do you want instead?I'm not fully satisfied with my current position (although I was recently promoted), I feel I can give more and help more, that my actions through my work can have more impact in my field. This situation affects my self-perception because I know I can give more, and I want to give more in the area of clean energy, but I feel limited and unhappy. Many people are proud of me, and they say I had accomplished a lot, but I do not feel ready to settle down, I want to go to the big leagues and make a real change.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My life would be more fulfilling; I would be more engaged; I would have less self-doubt; I would be more interested; I would talk passionately and proud about what I do; I would trust myself and confirm to myself that I deserve better things, and happy events.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am ready to give the next steps in my career. I had already accumulated some experience; I had seen different perspectives of my industry and identify areas in which I want to develop.. I know where I want to go, but I do not know how to get there.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?see above
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I've been an entrepreneur all my life starting many businesses literally since the time I was 8. In the early 2000s I was a life coach, had a thriving career and a radio program for a number of years. I switched careers started a biz which I took to the 7 figure level before selling. During that time (11 years) I learned a great deal. I would like to leverage that knowledge now and help others. The CHALLENGE is I have NO desire to jump a plane every week to hit business meetings or deal with corp America. My expertise would really help small/med biz or I could go more the personal life level, but I really don't want to get into life coaching again per say. The market seems to be flooded now 20 years later with way to many "life coaches". Besides, I really desire to make more than $125 an hour. My other big love is gardening. I've owned nurseries, a seed company, been published in the New York, LA Times, bla bla as an expert gardener. I lost my house in the Paradise fire, but as fate would have it a friend of mine sold me hers. More than one couple has been married in this stunning place. The garden here was already spectacular, but now I've just gone crazy taking the last 7 months off to fix this place up and bring my aging parents here from Texas. They are settled in and I'm ready to start working again. I have been kicking around a concept of "come meet me in the garden" I have two amazing hand crafted rocking chairs that are the center piece of the garden under a pergola. I found that when people are in a natural beautiful setting, it disarms them and they are really able to reach inside their souls to allow break through to happen! This could be on a personal or business level. I have wonderful building with white board covered walls and conference table to work from as well outside the garden. The CHALLENGE is I'm in Chico, CA Not like LA where you are where there is a ready source of warm bodies. So yes, I could do video conference and calls. If you were local or wanted to make the trip to the "Garden" you could. I want your feedback here. The other and the biggest CHALLENGE is how or what am I? What "service" am I offering and to who? I'm reaching out to you to help me with this more than anything. I'm about half way through your book. I liked your web/words and thought perhaps it would warrant talking to you further. Thank you
What do you want instead?see above
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?AMAZING
What is causing you to seek help right now?Need to get crystal clear on what it is I'm offering

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I don’t know. I would like a job that pays well for my ultimate goals. It would be great to find a job that I enjoy doing. Now, that I’ve experience life in corporate America—I understand the feeling of hating your job. However, it’s difficult to be a broke entrepreneur...something I know too well.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am not happy. I feel overworked and underpaid.
What do you want instead?My job is helping me get back on my feet. However, I feel that I am committed to something that drains my energy. I wanted to build a career—instead there’s too many constant changes in the company that really isn’t benefitting me at all. I’m not able to work and develop my own personal goals.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?When I’m able to give back to my community and family, that’s when I can truly be happy. If I get to a point where I am happy, I hope to give someone the tools and assist them to reach their happiness too.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I’ve been in three different industries. I want to leave my current job ASAP. Instead of trying to figure it out for myself, I feel some guidance is needed. Now that I am in my mid-30’s, I don’t have the confidence or a plan that I once had when I graduated from college 13+ years ago.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like to explore what is the right job for me to allow me time to exercise, but also is fulfilling and makes me happy.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have been in the same industry and line of business for 18 years now. Currently, I am part of the C-suite for a financial company, but don't feel happy or excited about the work that I do anymore. My job is to help the company make the right decisions and follow the regulatory requirements, but the company management has not made it a priority which I find very frustrating. At this point, I am looking to make a change - either find another company or start my own consulting business given that regulatory compliance is my niche and a very sought after expertise.
What do you want instead?It makes me unhappy and frustrated most of the time which is unhealthy.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I am not 100% sure if I am ready or willing to make a total switch into another field completely but would like to explore any and all options possible to determine what the best course of action would be. I definitely do not foresee working at my current position for longer than 2 more years so I want to have a better sense of what the next steps are whether that be in real estate or something else entirely. The bottom line is that I want a career that is fulfilling with a good "corporate culture" and to wake up in the morning happy to be going to work.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Right now my career feels a bit flat and dull. I have been working in commercial real estate for the past 2 years with a family friend's office. Although the opportunity has been great, there isn't much room for upward mobility. Furthermore because the office is so small (and a mostly older demographic), I don't feel as though I am bonding with my colleagues to the fullest. Furthermore, I am not usually motivated to go the 'extra mile' at this position. In other words, I do not feel inspired or passionate about the work I am doing.
What do you want instead?I definitely feel like I lack "purpose" in this job. I come home but feel a bit empty inside and almost as if I didn't really accomplish anything during the day - even if have done a ton of work. Because the nature of my work is so monotonous / routine, I am not progressing or growing as an individual. My Personal finances have been manageable, although ideally I would like a job that pays higher, even if that means working longer hours.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Not entirely sure because I am not at that 'level' yet. However, I imagine that I would be much more satisfied with myself and self worth. I also feel that if I were truly happy my career, I would be consistently 'going the extra mile' (e.g. staying later, doing more than what is asked of me, etc.) to wow my boss and the rest of my team.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I need someone who can guy me and talk things out so I have better clarity regarding what it is I want to do : whether that means staying at my current position but finding ways to improve the environment, finding a completely new job, or perhaps going back to school, etc.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am very entrepreneurial and creative and I always have fresh ideas. However, I am also very disorganized when it comes to planning my career or even my life. I am currently working on two different projects but I simply feel unmotivated and overwhelmed. I would love to learn the "goal setting" skill and execute whatever I want to accomplish on my career in 2020!
What do you want instead?It definitely impacts my happiness since I used to be very driven and enjoy the joy and fulfillment from my career. I feel lost and helpless because I don't know where my career is going.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My life would be completely different if I were happy in my career since it has been such an important part of me. I understand we should not let jobs or titles define us as a person but having my business up and running would definitely be a confidence boost. I will have a more routine and stable life instead of waking up not knowing what to do next or feeling anxious about my future.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have been working on my mental health for the past two years. I think it's the perfect timing to start working on my passion and career in 2020!

What do you want instead?It affects my mental well-being which in turn affects my relationship with my fiancee. Most recently, it has affected me monetarily. I left a corporate position last year and bought a franchise. While I believe the franchise will be successful in the next year or two, I am in debt. The real unfortunate part is that I am not passionate about the franchise. So I moved from one career to the other without gaining much happiness.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Happiness is contagious! Adding career satisfaction and happiness would amplify the happiness I have in other areas of my life and would spread to those around me. (Side story - I left the Marine Corps after 14 years because it was taking away my overall happiness. I am extremely proud of my service. And since leaving, I have not been able to find a career / job that gives me the same since of pride while also bringing me happiness.)
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have tried many different career paths / jobs and, although I accel at them, none seem to be the right fit.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to find a job that would make me feel more fulfilled, content, and more creative. I also want to work in a profession that would reinvigorate my passion for the arts.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Getting more interviews and landing a job when applying for work. I also have difficulty knowing how to ask for a job when talking with my networking contacts. Also, deal with small moments of anxiety when they happen.
What do you want instead?It’s making me more and more frustrated with the people I work with. This frustration is permeating into the rest of my life by feeling more stress, becoming upset and cynical about the tiniest details, and overall decreasing my happiness.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My life would be much more improved, I would come into work everyday eager to get work done, and it would feel wonderful to apply my creative talents to more personally worthwhile endeavors. I would also be working together with other likeminded people in a job with a healthy work culture.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am feeling dissatisfied, burnt out, and stuck in my part time jobs right now, and I want to find a more stable and fulfilling job.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?My dream is to find a career, a purpose, some kind of path that I can pour all of me into and love. I know that we all must work for a living, but I have never believed in working to "get by" or "survive." That concept has never clicked for me. It has always sounded insane to me when people say "thank god it's Friday," or dread going to work every day. That is my worst fear. I want to love what I do, because if I am going to spend my life doing anything I want to love it and that is a concept my parents instilled in all of us and I never want to forfeit that. I never want to feel like I need to just get it done and then can start having fun. I want a career that is creative and stimulates me. I never want to sit in front of a computer and email people all day. I want to feel like my skills, strengths and all my years of education are emphasized and utilized in whatever career path I follow. More than anything I want to make an impact on people with my work, I want it to mean something to people and myself. I am not even looking for a career path that will buy me a million-dollar home in the hills or a boat. I am not looking for that. I dream of a career that is stable, enriching, creative and interactive with people everyday.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Hey Mark, getting in touch with you right now means everything to me. To begin this questionnaire, the biggest challenges in my career stem from me feeling so derailed and disconnected from my own identity and purpose both on a personal and career level, all of which have left me feeling hopeless and unworthy. I recently made a huge career transition in September of 2019 that has left me feeling totally lost, after coming to terms that the career became an obsession rather than my actual dream. This past September of 2019, I made a life-altering decision and closed the door on what has defined my entire identity and life for as long as I could remember, which is being an actress. I am 24 years old and was working professionally as an actress from a very young age and it truly came to define me. Due to a cocktail of different reasons (that I would love to tell you about in more detail with complete transparency), I said goodbye to my entire team of talent agents and left the NBC network show I was working on. This decision was in the making for months and I have not looked back since. It was the right decision. However, it made a mess out of my identity, everything I have worked for and the future. Because of my acting career, I had to delay my collegiate schooling which is why I am only now graduating with a BA in Film & Media Studies. And now, as I graduate with this seemingly arbitrary degree, I have absolutely no idea what to do with it or who I am, if not an actress. It defined me for so many years, my most formative years, and although I do not look back one day on my decision to leave the industry, I do not know what else is going to fire me up inside. The biggest challenge I am facing is not knowing what my strengths are and what I can offer beyond being an entertainer. It breaks my heart to think that everything I have experienced and all my schooling is not applicable to anything but an acting career. I come from a family of highly successful siblings and parents in the medical profession, and I am left feeling so ashamed of what I have to show for myself right now. I feel lost through this scary transition and my parents and personal mentors in life are struggling with how to help me find my sense of direction.
What do you want instead?This emotional mess I am feeling and lack of direction are affecting me in every aspect of my life. This time in my life is not only wounding and affecting my relationship to myself but it's hurting my relationship with my loving boyfriend, my parents (who are very hands-on and involved), and my friends who all want to help guide me but are struggling in knowing how to help me in concrete, effective ways beyond their unwavering love and support. And finally, the lack of control I have on my career and path has only resurfaced an eating disorder that got better but has crept its way back into my life pretty severely which is heartbreaking for me ( a physical tendency that I know comes back when I am feeling out of control in other areas of my life). Due to my lack of any real job or a stable income, I am supported entirely by my loving father and serving tables at a restaurant. At 24, with the family, I grew up in and the future I envisioned for myself, that is a combination I am so ashamed of. This all affects my happiness in a cocktail of ways every single day.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?You know what that's a wonderful question, and it's crazy how hard it is for me to see and answer this. I cannot even imagine my life if I were happy in my career because I have convinced myself that I am so unworthy and too incompetent to have a career that really brings me genuine and longlasting happiness. But if I were happy, I would imagine that everyday felt like a successful and meaningful day. That even if I couldn't work out at the gym that day or wanted to eat a cookie, I was allowed to because I love what I do and no matter what I had a successful day because I have a purpose and a path. That brings me to a smile just typing it out envisioning that. There would be a lot more self permission if I were happy in my career. Permission to just hang out with boyfriend without needing to be productive, permission to eat, permission not to work out at 6 am every day, permission to go out with friends late night. Permission to stop always trying to get something done. I would feel so much more worthy and deserving of fun and it all stems from permission with me.
What is causing you to seek help right now?The fact that I have spent the last 6 months trying to do this new journey on my own, and look towards friends and family for advice to help guide me and it has gotten me nowhere but in deeper confusion and sadness. I know that there is a better way to go about this and that if I continue on this path, I will continue to self destruct and hurt those around me too. Right now I still have such a loving and amazing group of friends, boyfriend, and family and I do not want to start pushing them away. I have done a great deal of research on coaching and career mentors, and I really connected and locked down on you and your vision immediately. Working with you is my utmost priority right now.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?My goal is to find work that I am passionate about, fulfilling, gives me meaning, purpose and pays well.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am having a hard time figuring out what career direction to take. I used to be an entrepreneur https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamil-avdiyev-45476749. I tried to set up another business in 2016 and got lost in which one to pursue. I couldn't get new business started in 2016 and it was a tough time psychologically for over a year or so and gave up for a while until 2019. I started to look at this again late 2017 and again in 2018 and I had some ideas but nothing that sparked my interest. Someone recommended me to go herbal school and through contacts create herbal business and then someone recommend to go back to school for degree in Chinese or Ayurvedic medicine. None of these are what I want to do currently.
What do you want instead?I don't have the kind of financial resources, quantity and quality of friends I want to have and certainly not as happy as I can be. Probably my health can be better as well if I had the kind of work I want.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I can have the money to do things I want to do or may want to do, lots of laughing. having a group of people I can relate to that are interesting that I enjoy being around, heart connections, express creativity, having lots of fun, being the flow, good connection with people, laughter, jokes, an abundance of time outside of work to do things other than work, having some good work friends, making a meaningful impact on the world, different facets of intelligence well developed intuitive clever shrewdness imaginative, being stress free, having lots of curiosity, finding my brilliance.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Therein lay the complication, I have interests but have never truly felt fulfillment in my work life. My joy has come from the things that my jobs(s) have provided me.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Staying interested in what I'm doing. Keeping up on the skills to stay relevant.

What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I think getting up in the mornings feeling like what I do matters in some way while still enjoying going to work - meaning when the tough days come, I want to meet it with purpose and not feel like why does this even matter.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Opportunity, possibly being laid off in the next few months and having some actual space to explore what I'd like to do next be it something new or finding some way to re-energize .

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?peace of mind, job security, insurance and retirement
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?at the moment I am working as adjunct academic counselor, i have been holding from applying to full time jobs for different reasons, time, family, intimidation and not feeling competent. However, my position is very uncertain, and that uncertainty, is a huge challenge by itself.
What do you want instead?I can say the situation is definitely impacting everything. As much as i like to keep part-time but I never know if i have a job the upcoming month or not and if so how many hours! and as a result there is no set income. I am often anxious, worried and frustrated which does effect my health and relationship.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I love my job, and I would be very happy if I could secure or insure it.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have been told that my current part-time position is going to change to full-time and due to protocols and politics (which I know are going on) thy can not keep me on board. They did do a prototypical needed evaluation, with low ratings, and used it as a tool to say in order to stay aboard i need to be interviewed again (everything happened in less than 2 weeks). At this point, i am frustrated, and want to take this opportunity to do better, prove it to myself that i can, and that i tried

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?1. A career/business that I absolutely LOVE. 2. To be paid the true value for what I put into my work (900%). 3. To confidently and fully support my family. 4. To stand out from the crowd and be unique as my own brand. 5. To stop having to take on small jobs because I don't know how to make value of my worth. 6. To be noticed and respected for my work. 7. To be proud of the work that I do. 8. To be proud of myself and for my family to be proud of me. 9. To give back to society.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?1. Never getting fully established. 2. Only small projects here and there. 3. No marketing skills. 4. Frustrated with my current situation. 5. My age. 6. I don't have a unique brand.
What do you want instead?1. Living hand to mouth. 2. Borrowed often when needed money to move forward. 3. The money I made was always gone and never fully saved. 4. No goals are reached. 5. Feeling not useful.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?All of my stress and chaos would be over. I would feel as though I had won the lottery. I would have increased confidence and a zest for life. I would stop and smell and roses instead of sit and ponder. I would feel more energized and less tired. I would feel proud of myself. I would stop worrying about where money is coming from each month. I would have inner peace and sleep through the night instead of dreading the stress of the next unemployed day and the dread of ending another day with no accomplishments.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have been struggling at the same career for many years and have only managed to secure small projects. I have accolades and have won awards but I don't have the success that I feel that I deserve for my work and sacrifices. I have spent so much money and then after being scammed by a publicist out of thousands of dollars, I felt I had had enough with my career and thought I needed a change. Frustration, stress and debt has caused me to re-evaluate my life and seek the advice of a professional and trustworthy coach, who can inspire, encourage and see a path for me that I would have never realized before. I feel as though I have no important or useful skills whatsoever. I hope that I am completely wrong and that I can find success that I had never imagined or dreamed before.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Unsure about what to do next - don't want to just fire at a target and hope for the best - want to make a conscious move Imposter syndrome - I often look at all the things I can't do in a role, versus what my special skills are - hindering my search Feel like my soft skills dont matter and that I have fewer harder skills to add value Feel like I wont be chosen, or too few opportunities in my area Kinda know what I want to do, but not really sure - need more conviction
What do you want instead?I have a loving an supportive relationship with my husband. He understands I am going through a period of transition. I have invested enough in therapy to know when I am not happy in one area, I am not going to bring down other parts of my life (which I have done in the past). I feel frustrated in my current career position, but I am working hard to ensure I seek joy and gratitude in life.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Relaxed - I currently feel tense - I long for the feeling of acceptance, support and belonging in my career. Creative juices flowing - ideas come easily. Surrounded by the smartest people so I can learn something new everyday Financial abundance that we share with the community Proud and excited to go to work - we have a responsibility to excel (not pressure from top down, but in general to do our best)
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have spent 3 years in my current role and I have loved so many parts of it. Over the last year I have seen a change of culture and leadership and direction that doesn't align with me. I have also seen my "care factor" go to sub-optimal levels. I am feeling tired and exhausted. Out of the blue, I was offered a new role with a new company and I was tempted to take it. The company did great for the environment, the boss seemed super cool, but something said to me "slow down to speed up" think about what you really want to do next, then create it, manifest it, go after it.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I'd like to have a creative entertainment job with a salary of $75K+ plus benefits. A career that challenges me and allows me to learn as well as utilizes my current skill set in a meaningful and synergetic way. A long-term, "adult job", rather than endless gig-related work that leads to fleeting bursts of fun.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Understanding the value of my skills and work, being too stoic and/or not speaking up, blindly following those that treat me poorly, and making poor career decisions based on impulse.
What do you want instead?I'm in a loving relationship (we support one another a lot), I'm in good health and regularly work out, I'm overall pretty happy most of the time, but financially I'm in this scary black hole of never ending pain.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd feel more appreciated which would in turn result in a happier, more confident me. I'd be able to start saving for the future and pay my taxes on time. I'd be overall less stressed and more secure.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've been working at startups the past couple of years which has plunged me into credit card debt and has made me feel like I've lost my way a little bit. Although I appreciate the skills I've picked up along the way in building a brand and general business development, I feel like I've also been greatly taken advantage of and lead astray by my superiors.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?To put in a hard day's work, feel good about what I've accomplished for the day, and head home at a reasonable hour. I also want to work in partnership with my supervisor and feel like, if I have a problem, I'll be supported vs. being told it's my fault. I'm clear that my current workplace is not a good fit for me under the current leadership. I'm ready to make a change. I need help developing an elevator pitch and working on interview skills. I've only really had to competitively interview for a job once (my current position), so it's not a skill I'm comfortable with. I'm also largely an introvert in nature. I don't feel I present myself and my skills nearly as well as I could.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Currently in a situation where I'm over-worked, under-paid, feeling unappreciated, and often feeling bullied by my supervisor.
What do you want instead?Being over-worked means I'm not able to achieve a healthy work-life balance. Feeling bullied by my supervisor leads to chronic stress.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I were happy in my career, I'd have a better work-life balance which would create opportunities to be more social and feel like my life wasn't all about work -- where, to add insult to injury -- I'm in a job where I'm unhappy.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm actively seeking employment elsewhere and want to fully put my best foot forward during what I hope will be multiple forthcoming interviews. I think I present better on paper than in-person and I want my in-person presentation to be as compelling as my professional portfolio.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?That I am not sure yet. The retail banking industry is changing drastically and eventually might no longer be necessary. I want to move into a career field that has longevity but I don't know what kind of company to transition into. I enjoy management and operations.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Switching out of my current career field.
What do you want instead?More money, finding the transition out of banking into another field has been difficult since primary the jobs that I see posted require experience in that particular field.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I am not currently unhappy in my current career. The company I work for unfortunately decided a few years back that they would no longer give annual raises so I am the ceiling for my current position.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Banking in a whole is changing with the times and some of the bigger banks have laid off thousands of managers because retail banking has become minimal. Times have transitioned companies to operate online or via phone, so there isn't a strong need to retail staff. I want to transition out of this field before that transition takes place with my bank.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to own my time and feel more joy and connection to what I do.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am not clear on what truly inspires me and what my "soul" purpose is (other than the ultimate joy of being a father and husband), so I feel like I have grinded out a reasonable successful marketing career despite not feeling connected to the daily experience of it. As I have gotten older I am no longer willing to postpone joy.
What do you want instead?Money is OK. Relationships are mostly OK but I am sure the aforementioned "grind" has often caused me to be someone other than my very best, most joyous and loving self. I am reasonably happy and feel good about my life, but want to make changes/
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Like it is now but making money would not be a debit to my joy account - they would fit together and I would feel more cohesive and less dichotomous.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I need help to crystallize my thinking and what I really want. And maybe how to get there.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to work for someone I respect and who respects me. I want to work for someone I can learn from. I want to do work that is intellectually stimulating and that I find interesting. I need to work for a company that does not have business goals which necessitate a negative impact on people, animals, or the environment. (I don't want to work for an oil company, Monstanto, a nanotechnology company, a tobacco company, etc...)
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?1. Networking and presenting my strengths and experiences outside of Siemens, because I have worked at the same company for 15 years. 2. Figuring out what I want to do in my career, and focusing on me and not where I could best serve Siemens. 3. I am not supported by my current manager which increases my anxiety. The anxiety affects networking and strategic communications. The communication problem causing me to be less effective within my work, and executives not doing what I have recommended as well as holding me back within networks. 4. Not feeling joy in my work, simply feeling competent and useful.
What do you want instead?I am underpaid in the work I perform, within my industry and considering years of experience, and that affects my confidence as well as finances. The negative work environment I am currently in has caused my autoimmune disorder to flare and not go into remission. It also affects my mood outside of work, which negatively impacts my time with my husband and children.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would feel good about myself for my work every week (everyone has bad days). I would be happy to have a coffee with my boss or have him/her over to dinner. I would feel like my work mattered and people listen to me. I would learn something new that is sizeable every quarter (something small every week or month).
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am moving from a role with a manager who doesn't respect me, to working for a peer who does. Although I appreciate the person who will be my new boss, I want to be able to get job offers outside of the company I work for. And I want to develop a career path where I grow and feel happy as well as satisfied. I am an INFJ on the Myers Briggs and a Di in the DiSC, I don't think I'm necessarily well suited to the company I have worked for and I think I might feel more joy if I move into a company where people are more like me.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to be doing mission-driven work that's impactful, where I know what my contribution is and work with other stellar teammates that have complementary but different skillsets so I don't feel alone. I want to be a leader in a warm and collegial environment that values innovation and learning as much outcomes. I want to be recognized appropriately for what I contribute (not less, not more) in terms of awareness of colleagues but also title and compensation. I want work-life balance and to help my colleagues achieve that. I absolutely hate manufactured stress and want to make bold leadership decisions to do the work that's important and minimize the industry BS to the greatest extent possible. I want to feel alive and empowered and use my power to empower others to be part of an amazing team and organization.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?1) Connecting the dots between the impact I want to have in the world and the type of work environment/culture I want to be in. I've been in many mission driven organizations where I love the mission and work but don't feel a fit with the culture. And where I've enjoyed working, I didn't find my passion there. So looking to bundle into one package. 2) Stepping into my leadership - putting my perspective out there, saying no as well as yes, letting my team take chances to innovate, fail and learn. 3) Getting credit for my work - often I'm the powerhouse / workhorse behind the scenes. I've not paid attention to organizational or industry politics but have gotten frustrated with others taking credit for my work and then others telling me behind the scenes that they know that I'm the true powerhouse. How can I do meaningful work I'm good at and have my brand in the field without being sickeningly self-promoting? 4) Defining what it is I do bc I'm a jack of all trades. Need to frame my skillset better.
What do you want instead?I feel alone at work a lot bc I'm often the lone superstar. I want to feel part of a functional team where others are carrying their weight -- not just task wise but also as critical thought partners. I miss being in an environment where I enjoyed my colleagues (from about 2004 through 2015 I was in places where I did enjoy teams but now for the past 5 years I've been miserable in the 2 places I"ve worked - my last job and current job). I get really stressed out, especially when deadlines hit. And this messes up work life balance. And I feel like I have to either vent in my personal relationships or keep it to myself. Not making as much money or progressing as far as I can. In general, I"m a purpose driven individual so not being happy with work makes me feel a bit disconnected from myself and less alive.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would feel alive and connected to myself, my colleagues, and the world/community I live in. I would feel excited to go to work every day. And know that if there were challenges, I know I can weather them and who to go to for support. I would be able to share my work with my partner, family, and friends from a place of excitement rather than one of complaint. I would make a difference in the world and others' lives.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have a lot of thoughts and ideas in my head that I need to organize. I don't know what I truly think and want and want a sounding board to help me see more clearly. Also, I want to explore some scary areas of maybe leaving the field that I've been so successful in to do what I'm truly passionate about. Or maybe redefine my role in my field. Finally, I need some structured accountability so I can make steps towards the career that I want.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?To be excited about going to work To work my tail off while I am there but not have as many evening/weekend commitments To work in a healthy organization. And I don't mean financially, although, yes I want that too. I mean a healthy culture.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I excelled in my career early on, becoming a principal at an elementary school at 35 and at a high school at 37. After becoming a principal, I became a mother. That makes wanting to be at multiple athletic games, dances, performance and parent meetings every week difficult. Additionally, in the era of enhanced concerns about security and increased mental health crises with students, my job is incredibly stressful. I feel like I have to wear so many hats that I can't really put my energy into something to really focus on and be exceptional at. I have a wealth of experience and skills that I've developed and want to find another industry that I could use them in.
What do you want instead?Work definitely affects my ability to have time for my relationships outside of my husband and son. I have 8 after hours/weekend activities for work between now and the end of the month, and that doesn't count the athletic games I should get to. So, I often have to send my son to a sitter in the evenings, weekends, which makes me feel really guilty about spending any additional time away, which makes seeing girlfriends, going to an exercise class, etc, difficult. Mostly though, I am just not really happy with my job.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I think I'd be happier to go to work, which would make me happier in general.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have pretty much decided that the next school year - 2020-2021 - will be my last at my current position. I want to be able to give my notice in the fall with some idea of what I might be abel to do for the next act in my life. As I am looking for a change in position in about 18 months, I might be starting this too early, and would appreciate feedback on that as well.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?A more intrinsically motivating and financially rewarding career in LA than the one I have, likely in a senior investment capacity, with a broad and opportunistic mandate.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?1) Having a highly versatile skill set and set of experiences that makes it difficult for me to find the sweet spot where my interest is maintained and I'm intrinsically motivated. 2) Seeking investment jobs wherein investment experience still composes the minority of my career (5 of 16 total years); investment banking (restructuring and leveraged financed comprises the balance) 3) Growing but smaller network in LA than NYC (relocated to LA five years), and fewer financial services opportunities in LA vs NYC
What do you want instead?1) Added stress as sole bread winner in the family. This reduces the practicality of leaving my current job to search for a new one or to seek out more entrepreneurial and risky opportunities.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Work life balance, wake up feeling energized to work and learn each day, pursue and generate investment returns with insight
What is causing you to seek help right now?First time in my career when I wasn't sure what I wanted to do next. Need help finding my ideal career.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to be able to clearly articulate my strengths and interests in life both personally and professionally and define exactly what I want to achieve from life, career, relationships etc. I believe with this clarity I can get up every morning feeling totally charged up and also go to sleep thinking it's all okay as I am doing the right thing for the right reasons.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?In my career of around 15 years I have moved to different countries and different functions/jobs. At this point I am trying to find out what should be my next career move that would be the most logical and thoughtful move for me which allows me to play by my strengths and capabilities instead of just another careeer move. I am also interested in entrepreneurial ventures and want to know if that's the path I should choose while keeping my current job/move.
What do you want instead?Most times I am lost in my thoughts and not totally aware of what goes around me, moreover, I am living in my head instead of living in the moment and enjoying life. I feel it's happening because there is no clear sense of purpose/goal that I can create my life around and can become my north star.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I will be the most interesting, calm and grounded person that people (including my family) like to spend time with.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am seeking someone who is trained on helping people like myself to reflect and have tools/methodologies to get out of mental blocks/loops to be able to define my path clearly and lead an interesting and fulfilling life.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career? I'd like to work at a studio or a streaming platform like Netflix, Hulu, Google, etc in an analytics executive role, ideally vide president or equivalent. I've been interviewing for VP roles at studios like HBO MAX, ticketmaster, NBC. I finished 7 interviews at HBO when I was informed the entire role was closed due to lack of internal clarity over the job needs (no one got the job but apparently I was one of the Top 2).
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I worked at FOX for 3 years until the acquisition by Disney and I chose to leave before my division was laid off. I did this so I could proactively choose a new job that I would hopefully love as much as I loved my job at FOX and I wouldn't be a reactive, "take any job" situation if I took the severance. I got a job as public-facing analyst at the NPD Group speaking on the entertainment industry. This role has helped me raise my profile in the press and conferences but the company culture is not a fit for me nor is the core product. I miss being IN the entertainment industry instead of reporting on it from the sidelines. The company is more "go with the flow" about mistakes and deadlines; instead of that causing me to relax it makes me feel like I have less purpose, like people care less about the quality of work we deliver to the clients. I care a lot about my job and the level of work I deliver. I know our clients, like the studio I used to work for, use data from companies like NPD to make impactful decisions and I feel dedicated to provide a top quality product/analysis and not cut corners.
What do you want instead?Having a well-paying job with no purpose and no culture fit feels like cheating but not in the way where you have impostor syndrome. More like being unmoored and not useful. This is in stark contrast to my role at FOX where I felt like my work and my voice mattered and I was valued. Because I'm an ambitious person who is passionate about entertainment and streaming video, this sense of not meaningfully contributing has made me depressed. I've tried to "raise the bar" at the my current role and found there are a couple of similar souls like me but the overwhelming culture is malaise.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be leading a team that analyzes viewership data and provides internal consulting to senior leaders and content creators. My insights would contribute to directly steering the business and be seen as the "glue" that synthesizes different functional areas into the larger strategic story.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I don't know the best way to find jobs at this level, if they are publicly posted or not or if I should hire an executive search team. I think my story needs refinement and that perhaps I could have used the HBO opportunity to provide the clarity about the job they needed but I didn't capitalize on it - effectively, I could have given them a compelling and structured value proposition. I feel like I am missing something - it's either something I need to learn or something to become aware of - and when that happens it makes sense to get feedback from someone I trust on the outside.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to work in a freelance/ or permalance role. I wouldn't mind working for an agency to build up more experience as I am still fairly new to this transition.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Finding a role that is a good fit for me. One that works with my natural strengths and personality.
What do you want instead?Their impacting my career happiness cause these positions that i've held in the past simply, cause me much stress as they are not good fits for me. Ex, front-desk roles. These positions have been in super hectic crazy work spaces that don't allow me to work as best to my ability and with constant things to focus on at the same time. I've spent the last year building up my freelance clientele bit by bit in order to do that full-time down the road.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be doing work that aligns best with my natural strengths which lie in design. (web, graphic) I enjoy working with clients on on one or with a small team I've noticed I tend to do best in those environments as opposed to hectic big-sized companies and job roles.
What is causing you to seek help right now?current employment situation/ direction.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I'm looking to land employment soon. I've considered work in other industries but I'm not really sure how my skills translate. I'd like to be given an opportunity where the winds decide to take me but I need it to happen sooner than later.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I'm currently in between jobs. I have served in various capacities in the public education system. I have worked in the classroom for a number of years and I have spent the last decade in out-of-the-classroom support roles and as an assistant principal/principal.
What do you want instead?Throughout my career, I have moved up the ladder in my profession. It always just flowed smoothly without a problem. During my last employment as an Elementary School Principal, after having served in that capacity for 3 years, a change in leadership decided I was no longer a fit. I have taken the change hard and I'm looking to make lemonade out of lemons. I'm seeking Director jobs at the district level or county levels or other roles in that area. My wife has been supportive about the change but it has caused me grief and stress over opportunities and money.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd be working in a capacity where I'd find fulfillment in my role while also being compensated at a rate similar to (or better) than my last role.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have always done well in interviews but for some reason, lately I am not. I'm not used to struggling in those areas so I'm seeking an outside interpretation as to what I'm giving off.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to work hard and play hard - but finish up a day's work feeling excited to talk about what I did, the challenges I encountered, and the projects on the horizon. I'd like to be able to have spirited, problem-solvy conversations with my spouse about what I'm doing, rather than feeling dejected and complaining about leadership deficiencies in my office. I want my kiddo to see both of his parents fulfilled by jobs that allow them to leave happy, healthy, and well-rounded lives -- and not drained by a stalled out career that feels like a waste of energy.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have spent the last 10+ years working for a government agency that had provided me a relatively dynamic, rewarding career within the arts. However, a leadership change at the agency nearly two years ago has resulted in a chaos and disarray, and it's becoming pretty clear that things will not get better anytime soon. On top of that, I recently became a mother, and am craving more autonomy and flexibility so that I can spend time with my family while still feeling professionally engaged. The current office environment is extremely demoralizing, and for the first time in years, I feel listless and bored. I know I'm a very smart, capable person, but I've been in the agency so long that it's difficult to envision myself anywhere else. I have to believe there's a job out there that will provide me more opportunity for leadership and growth without sacrificing work-life balance. I just don't know how to find it.
What do you want instead?My mental state and mood have been negatively impacted. I also feel somewhat trapped - because I work for a government agency and have a pension, I'm hesitant to transition careers even though my husband keeps telling me it's very likely I could make more elsewhere. I know I'm more capable than I feel spending time in such a challenging environment.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would have more control over my time - be able to run, spend time outside, and travel with my family. My husband and I would be able to balance our childcare needs more evenly without either of us sacrificing professional or personal aspirations. I would have consistent opportunities for continued education and growth. I might have periods of time when I'm very busy, but the business would feel inspired and engaged, because my natural curiosity would shine through all of it.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I had a truly terrible week at work around Thanksgiving, and found myself deep in an emotional rut trying to determine what to do. I gave myself until the end of 2019 to process the bad feelings, and resolved to enter 2020 with a better balance of action and acceptance. My situation it what it is until it's not anymore -- but I can help things along by coming to greater clarity around what I want.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?II am getting prepared for a change at the CEO level. I would like to be at a like-minded organization with a mission to serve Veterans, first responders, and their families. I am interested in staying in an executive position whether it be back in fundraising, operations, or exploring other options that fit my skill set.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have made several moves within the 5-yrs. I realize that it was me trying to find the right fit. Fortunately I found the right place, but our CEO resigned. Past experience has taught me that I need to be protect myself even as much as I would like to stay with my current employer.
What do you want instead?The challenges for me at this moment are not related relationships, money, health, or happiness. My challenge is navigating through a CEO change and preparing myself for any potential outcome from this change.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'm actually happy - I am being realistic of what is to come with a CEO change.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I need to start thinking bigger and in order to do so, I need advice/help from an expert.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?First off, I want a more clear sense of what I want to focus on and pursue. I was an English teacher in Prague and South Korea for the last two years. I was much happier in most aspects when I was abroad, but I don't want to be a teacher for the rest of my life. I am a writer/filmmaker who also just started doing stand-up. I am passionate about all of these things, but I don't want to spread myself too thin. An ideal situation for me is a job/career that would afford me the privilege to work remotely ,making/saving decent money, and time to pursue creative endeavors. Finally, I would like to note that I am a Los Angeles native, and I am unhappy being back here. I felt more uninhibited/free when I was living in New Orleans and abroad, but worried that I'll have to live here or NY in order to have a successful career.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Indecisiveness, insecurity regarding skills/work history, and I hate networking.
What do you want instead?I'm not able to save any money to enjoy life/travel, I'm often anxious/unhappy, I feel trapped, and it has impacted my confidence.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be proud to say what I do, be happy to be working, and feel more grounded/balanced in all areas of my life.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm fed up being on the fence in what I want to do with my life, so I need some guidance.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to be somewhere where people appreciate me and feel as I am part of the solution. I am not fixated on title or money anymore. I honestly want to be somewhere where people like what they do and like each other.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am at a crossroads in my life and career. For the last 10 years I have been spinning my wheels, caught in short term stints at large companies and start-ups never realizing stability or a feeling of "belonging". I have invested a ton in 25 years of working in a variety of positions including design, product management, product marketing and creative brand marketing. I believe people are confused about my background. They find it interesting, but not relevant enough for them to take a step and call. Over the last 6 months, the number of calls and interviews have slowed down tremendously.
What do you want instead?This poor experience over so many years has resulted in a total lack of confidence and depression. I am stuck and lack the happiness of being part of something.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be a ton happier and not affect my home life.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Not sure where to turn or what to do. I don't feel like I can get any honest feedback from anyone.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?The ability to plan my own schedule better and have set aside time for my own projects, hobbies and studies. Work with ongoing partners or clients where I can build and maintain relationships Work that is more project-based and less customer or client care based.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?The phone and CSR load for my work. Work/life balance when work calls are coming through my cell and I am responsible for employees who are working remotely. I deal with very high-maintenance clients, but we only work with them for a 6-9 month season, so I find myself constantly building trust with a new set of clients each year.
What do you want instead?Emotional toll on having to support clients, their children and my employees. Stress of not knowing when or what the next emergency might be. Compartmentalizing that so I have emotional bandwidth for my own family. Scheduling designated family time during the week while I am also responsible for very volatile work situations.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Work/life balance, better return on well-planned projects. Set schedule and more clear future path.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Current job is undergoing a large amount of restructuring and I'm looking at the next year knowing that it is going to be a very high amount of involvement for me in developing curriculum, training, financial strategy, planning and I'm asking myself why I'm not putting all of this energy into a project that would have greater long-term benefits for me and my own family.

My initial goal was to work in the Oil Industry and now I am open to most Import and Export fields (and/or other careers paths that I can use the languages I know, such as government jobs, translator etc). I do not have any experience in my field tho. While in college I worked as a Quality Control analyst in a mechanical engineering company. And now the biggest challenge has been to be introduced to my field of studies.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a career plan plain and simple. That utilizes my strengths and provides the most income. I know that sounds generic and non-specific, and that's where I need help - setting S.M.A.R.T. plans.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Most importantly, my challenges are listed on your website under "Get Clear": 1. Determine how to use more of your talents & abilities 2. Craft a Vision Statement based on what you really want 3. Identify & prioritize the industries, professions and roles that fit you 4. Set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-specific) goals & milestones 5. Develop a step-by-step strategic action plan 6. Create an appealing value proposition
What do you want instead?This challenge has negatively impacted other things.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I could "unpause" the other areas that are important to me and improve in those areas as well.
What is causing you to seek help right now?No clarity, previous failures, low income. Lack of good counsel surrounding me.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?The ideal position would be to find an executive position with a technology company in San Antonio, or Austin TX in the next 12 months making 200K+ (Total comp). Ideal position would allow me to have a direct impact on company performance as well as allows me enough flexibility to take care of my responsibilities at home.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?When It comes to my career I feel like I've settled into a comfort zone. I have typically been able to rely on my skills and talent to figure out and get promoted, however I feel like now I've at the point where I hit a plateau. I really have no room to complain, because I have a well paying job (140K per yr), with great work life balance, I work in the best part of the company (Innovation Lab) and enjoy my co-workers immensely, and I have to deal with very little office politics. But I've been there long enough to where what I do is now easy and I don't feel particularly challenged. I've survived a round of layoffs, where I saw 3 levels of my bosses being let go, and I've lost a top cover and relationships that I have been investing for the past 3 years, which is a bit of a set back. I've gotten as high as I can get in my department for the time being, and in order to keep climbing I'd have to move out into the line and deal with the company politics and bureaucracy, which is not very appealing me ( I fully realize that politics is a part of work anywhere if you get high enough, its the type at my current company is what I choose to avoid). My wife and I have also opened clinic (she is a physician) which has failed, and we made the decision to close it down this August. This has put a tremendous stress on our relationship and may even be the reason we may end up divorcing. We have 3 kids and both my Mom and her parents ( who are very sick) live in San Antonio and along with her patients making a geographic move a very complicated proposition.
What do you want instead?I have turned 40 this year and I feel like i've settled. If I don't make the change soon, I'm afraid that I'll be stuck in the rut for the rest of my working life. Taking the risk on clinic and dealing with the fallout has also made me less apt to make the jump away from the "sure thing". My marriage is on the brink of collapse due to the resentment from the failed clinic and resulting debts. I feel like I need to find a way to increase my pay to pay off the debts faster, but I would also like to be more fulfilling position where I can have more of an impact.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Work with the group of people I respect, in the environment that values a healthy challenge of ideas. Have the ability/permission to take calculated risks that have direct impact on the customer/product/bottom line. This would make me very eager to go to work every day. Hopefully that translates into better ability to provide for my family.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel like I've been sleepwalking through life for the past 3 years. Life has an interesting way of serving me a wake up call. I'm ready to make the change now.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to find a career, that I actually enjoy. That brings me some happiness and fulfillment. I want to have some control my schedule and not feel wiped out after I get out of work.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am currently working as a transportation broker and do not enjoy it. It causes high amounts of stress and is something I dont look forward to doing anymore. I also work part time as a real estate agent and an Online marketer, which I enjoy for the most part. I started down those pathways as a means to an end with my current job, and I have not been able to utilize those to get me out of my current job. I would love to start down a new path, but am unsure where to look or what I even want to do.
What do you want instead?I am stressed pretty regularly and and get easily agitated at work and sometimes outside of work. Waking up in bad mood. These new moods and emotions led me to see a therapist, who suggested career counseling. I am working paycheck to paycheck, essentially, having trouble saving. Part of that is my own fault though. I am definitely not happy with my current job and know there is more out there I just dont know exactly what that is.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?It would be a happier life. A life where I could figure out what I really enjoy and spend more time doing those things. Free up mental capacity to expand as a person and grow. A life with a family and being able to spend time with thwm

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would be interested in training in another, less conservative, industry. I have a few fantasy jobs like working with NGOs to help refugees or being a rock star. Definitely too late for the rock star dream!! 🙂 I used to toy with the idea of becoming a photographer, but have really dropped that hobby. I'm all over the place - more ideas than skills though.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I work in a career that I fell into as opposed to one I chose (I'm a corporate trainer in investment banking. Sounds fancier than it is). I have always struggled to identify what I really want to do and at this point, it might be a little late to do that, but I'd like to at least transition into an industry I care about. Well, that's the long term goal. I am planning on moving out of CA in the next year and I currently work from home, so that will allow me to move. So my short term goals are to update my resume and LinkedIn, grow my network, and prepare myself for a job hunt in case my firm starts laying people off. Longer term goals include changing jobs and figuring out what my limited skill set realistically positions me to do.
What do you want instead?Since I don't really like my job, it takes a lot of energy to fake it. I do it for benefits and money - period. So you can imagine what it does to my health, happiness, etc.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Amazing! I'd like to at least have more of a sense of pride in what I do. I don't tell people where I work. I'm a little embarrassed by it. Realistically, I would say 60% of my friends don't know what I do for work. I think work that aligns with my values would be great. Mostly I would like to feel like I'm good at what I do plus make a living. Anything beyond that would just be the cherry on top.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I could probably pull off my short term goals listed above on my own, but I get stuck with the longer term goals. I avoid starting this process because of that and I need to make this happen. It's time. Also, Angie Siebold recommended you.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to build a successful career helping others realize their potential while also generating a profit in order to live a sustainable life.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?For a while it had been figuring out what it was I wanted to do, and really focus on that. In order to have been able to figure that out, I needed to recognize who I was. I knew who I was, who I am, but I was a person who wanted to do many things. When you are told you can be anything in life, you want to do everything. Over time, and only until most recently, have I really been able to hone in on this and recognize my true strengths - that in what I am good at, but also what gives me my strength, my purpose. Throughout this period, I've recognized that I am determined, resilient, and eager but I sometimes lack the confidence in pursuing what it is I really want because of the fear of failure and imposter syndrome. I am learning to overcome these challenges in order to pursue a fulfilling career.
What do you want instead?These challenges are impacting me throughout other aspects of my life by not allowing me to grow and truly flourish. I fear exposing myself to others in my relationships because I am not in a career/position that I want to advertise. Resorting back to work in hospitality as a server has most certainly allowed me the freedom to really discover who I am; however, I have gotten comfortable. I have become stagnant. The only way to improve is to change where I am, and I am lacking that confidence because of this time I have taken off to discover myself. So, ultimately, I am in a paradox - I want to grow, I know I can, and I believe I know how; however, I don't know where to start. Thus, I drain my happiness, in turn, draining my health, in turn, draining my finances because I lose motivation. All in all, it becomes a ripple effect that transitions into the same continuous loop of self-deprecation until I tell myself again what I need to do but then I see this huge goal and all these gaps and become fearful again.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My life would be filled with my definition of success. I would be helping others while also helping myself. I would have started my own business, knowing I am staying true to myself and my ideals, while also collaborating with others to spread positivity and possibility throughout the world.
What is causing you to seek help right now?The need to move past my limiting beliefs of being an imposter and that I don't need help. I know I can do this, but there is some part of me that stops myself right before the hurdle I need to get past to success.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like to have a fulfilling career that allows for financial freedom to provide for my family, get out of 31k of student loan debt, and enjoy life without financial stress.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I struggle with depression and it negatively impacts my job performance and ability to stay long in any one position. For the past 7 years, since I started working at age 18, my roles have usually been low paying and temporary.
What do you want instead?My estimated income for 2019 is about $13,500.00. I currently have a seasonal customer service/call center job that ends 01/03/2020. Due to having a low income, I am worried about how I will be able to provide for my baby. I am 23 weeks pregnant and she is due 03/10/2020. I'm a first generation college grad with a B.A. in Communicative Disorders and GPA was 2.78. My boyfriend needs 2 more years to complete his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would have a strong work/life balance and time with my baby. I would have a rewarding service career or academic role helping others. I would enjoy working face-to-face with clients doing consulting (financial/cosmetics/ect) or tutoring (literacy).
What is causing you to seek help right now?My income is very low and as a recent college grad and soon to be mother, I want to increase my income/ability to provide, get out of a rut, increase confidence, and career prospects.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?More focus, and hopefully lower stress will follow. I'm happiest when I manage my own agenda/time with input from leadership. I am in discussions with a new startup to potentially be a member of a founding team, and I'd like to start on the right foot.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?In rough order: 1. Too many responsibilities -- too much stuff to cover and not enough time 2. Driving #1, frequent interruption by lower ranking employees as a result of #1 (it's a terrible loop) 3. Stress leaking its way out of work into home time 4. Managing management-- company has developed frameworks for decision, seems to be persistent misalignment among senior leadership. Decisions aren't made and we frequently take the bad middle rather than turning left or right when needed. I
What do you want instead?I would say largely impacts personal happiness away from work. My day to the day at the office is fine, not great. I'm never bored, but spend more time on the urgent than on the important. Lots of work gets wasted as a result of #4 above
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Not super different. I think I'd be less tired and happier outside of work, but I"m a pretty high energy person and have a pretty strong happiness baseline
What is causing you to seek help right now?Stress/frustration.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I am not sure what I want to do next. This is where I get stuck. I am semi burned out on the fashion industry but it is what I am mostly trained in. I have other skills I can use to make money but I feel like I need to plan to get me to the next career.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Finding a good company with a good work environment that I can have some stability. I work in the fashion industry and I've been laid off 2 times over the past 5 years. I know a lot of it is based on economics and the retail industry is changing a lot. I feel like I need a total career change or I need to find a way to reinvent myself so I am more attractive to employers.
What do you want instead?I just got out of a 5 year relationship. I am a single mother. Also, working in corporate fashion the hours are long and not very flexible. That is why I left my last job without having another job. I have been living off of my savings and it is stressing me out. I always seem to make it work out but I feel very stuck right now.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would not feel so heavy and depressed. I would probably be a better mother to my daughter. I would worry less about my finances and find more time to do things that bring joy to my life.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've been out of work for almost a year. I freelanced for about 3 months but am having trouble finding a new job.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I don't know exactly what, but I'd love to work in something that interests me.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I've seldom done work that truly interests me, and when I'm not interested, it's harder to do the job well. In 25 years as an attorney, I've almost never done something that interests me. Work is, instead, something I tolerate to support myself and my family. Another challenge is that I'm rather shy/ introverted and am terrible at "networking." I seem to have gone from law job to law job without ever getting an independent assessment of what I might do differently (or instead).
What do you want instead?I'm not sure, but they don't help! If I were doing work I found interesting, I'd be better at my job(s) and, of course, happier.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Again, I'm not sure, because I so seldom have been happy in my career! Better, that's for sure.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Job loss (Oct. 28) and desire to get an independent perspective instead of just seeking more of the same.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I believe I want to get into the some aspect of investing, stocks or finance but I'm not exactly sure in what capacity. I have been quite interested in this field for the past couple years. I was hoping to be able to invest on my own to make a living wage but from what I can tell, that's not possible unless you have tons of money to work with. I want my career to have purpose and help people. If I were incredibly gifted, I think I would want to be a doctor or a lawyer.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Figuring out exactly what career I want to do instead of what I'm doing now. Also, will I need to go back to school for this career? If possible, I'd much prefer to not go back to school. The money that I make now is not enough and to be making less at a part-time job while going to school which is an added expense feels nearly impossible. I'm also getting married soon and making even less money doesn't feel like an option. I'm generally a very indecisive person and I do feel like I'd like to get into investing / stocks / finance but I'm not exactly sure in what capacity. I think maybe as a fiduciary financial advisor.
What do you want instead?I feel stuck in my job simply because I don't know exactly what I want to do next. I'm simply going to my job to pay the bills and to be honest the money is not good at all. My fiance needs to cover the majority of our expenses and that really frustrates me. I hate working a job that I don't like that doesn't pay enough. I feel like if I'm working a job I don't like, I should at least be happy in that the pay is good, but it is not. Money is an issue for me because I want to contribute more, have money for retirement, vacations, pay down debt and just have enough money for day to day life. I alreay took a step down in my career for this job so the fact that it's going nowhere is very frustrating. Being stuck at my job impacts my finances greatly, I'm not happy at work so I have a hard time being happy overall and not bringing work frustratins home. Both of these elements impact my relationship in that they're a bit of a wedge between us. My fiance is incredibly supportive and I want to be successful and worthy of her support.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I wouldn't have to live for the weekends. I generally dread the work week. I'm not frivolous with money but I want a lot more of it to not worry about paying the bills or having enough money for my wedding, retirement, kids, vacation, etc. I want enough money where I don't need to worry about money.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Feeling stuck in my career. I feel like I know the general direction I want to go but don't know exactly what it is or how to go about getting there. What schooling is needed. Do I need to get another undergrad degree or can I do a masters instead? Can I instead enter the field and work my way up from there?

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want clarity, direction, focus, peace, and freedom. I want to create impact. I want to feel like I am part of a team, a family, and moving forward. I want help untangling the mess of thoughts in my head because I cant see clearly anymore.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I had success in my 20's but since I close my business 6 yrs ago, I have let people in my life that I am dependent on heavily influence my career choices. I know what my purpose and passions are. I thought I had a clear path of what I wanted to do. Between medical issues and my dads influence, i keep taking jobs for the salary and not for passion which has created an unsustainable start stop pattern for six yrs. Now I am confused and have lost steam. I dont even know what skill sets I should focus on. im craving stability again because the career I thought I wanted to go after I think is too much of a challenge. Another challenge is that I want a career that accelerates impact and change in the world - which limits the people and companies that I want to work for.
What do you want instead?its impacting everything. im single. I dont feel confidant. I dont feel the best version of myself and I am not happy. my mental health also has been affected.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I like to work so it would be pretty darn amazing, id be really grateful, and it would free up so much brain space for other areas of my life.
What is causing you to seek help right now?ive hit a bottom. I used to think I could figure it out on my own or it would reveal itslef with time, but I keep doing the same pattern and I think my age is creating a lot of fear for me around where I am at in my career.

I found it difficult to get a new job and moved to the Los Angeles area, hoping to find more opportunities. I have sent out hundreds of resumes and only have had a small handful of responses. The closest I've gotten to getting a job was through contacts.
What do you want instead?I have spent a great deal of my savings supporting myself, my wife and 2-year old son and nowmy wife and I are having anxiety over how we can support the family. Its causing erosion of my relationship with my wife and depression.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?A job that provides validity, money, and stability, in that order.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Most studios/companies/agencies that need narrative designers keep them on payroll. The nature of the work is sensitive and it makes sense to have an in-house team. My last company did not leave my portfolio in a good place, and the work I've done as a freelancer is not terribly impressive. Most of what I know and can do is self-taught or the result of academic research as opposed to working with people who truly know the craft. That said, I am confident that I can perform very well with my abilities, if I were given the opportunity.
What do you want instead?My relationships and health are fine, but my sense of self-worth is shot, I am angry, and horribly depressed. My finances are not in dire straights, but money is tight, and the holidays will squeeze it even tighter.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My dream job is working as a full-time, published author. I've been spending my open hours working on a manuscript, but this will be the third book I've written, the road to getting published is long, and it doesn't pay any bills. If I had something that would put some money in my bank account, while leaving my evenings free for writing, I think I would be happier and more productive. Ideally, I would like to find a job on par with my last salaried position (~$50K), so I can work toward home improvements and plan vacations again. My wife and I could begin saving to start a family.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I applied for a minimum wage job at a bookstore. With my credentials, and glowing recommendations from two former employees, I figured I was a shoe-in. I believe I did very well in the group interview. And I was still passed over. They had no feedback; I suspect they were worried that I would jump ship if something better came along. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong, but it is clear that I need to make some kind of change.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am not sure about my exact career directions, but do have a couple of options I am considering. I also want to change my current work situation to something more productive and passionate about. I have trouble pinpointing exact strategies and fields to go into that I would be happy working for. Sometimes I also feel I have limited confidence in my skills that prohibit me from thinking I will be able to perform well/ fit the roles I want to apply for.
What do you want instead?It is effecting my relationship with people since I am more anxious and stressed lately about making a change as soon as possible and feeling lost at the same time.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I think I would be happy with a typical 9-5 job with a relatively good work/life balance and steady income. Jobs that involve creativity, independence, research, and a purpose.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I think I feel stuck in my current situation and looking forward to making a change. I need advice and help in drafting a clear career path, finding out my work passion/interest and gain the confidence to take a leap of faith into my chosen career path.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Clear, set schedule, firmer boundaries. Work that does not encroach on my personal life so insidiously. Work from home or opportunities for satellite work. I need to know what courses I should take since this career change is long-term. No changes need to be immediate.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Planning for work emergencies, setting aside time for family, being realistic about my skills and facing difficult challenges.
What do you want instead?High levels of stress because my current job deals with a lot of very time-sensitive emergencies that I cannot plan for, which makes work/life balance difficult.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Work that I can plan for and if I plan well, it runs well. The ability to take time off and make a schedule that better fits my family.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Upcoming recession and the clear need to switch jobs before Fall 2020 when it is financially more risky to try and switch careers.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?A path forward into a new career or even careers that will allow me to feel like I"m being true to myself, helping others, and ensuring my future financial security.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?After many years at the same company and and a difficult exit, I find myself struggling to learn how self-promote myself in a way that will lead me to challenging positions in new areas. I'd like to use my existing skills as a launching pad however find myself at a loss when it comes to where to look next, let alone how to jump into the job search market that is mostly network-driven.
What do you want instead?Employment certainly plays a roll in self-identity for me, as well as providing means to enjoy life. I know that I have a lot to offer and miss being a part of/leading a team. It's time to jump back in to contribute as well as save for retirement. It would also be great to have money coming into my checking account again, and not having to depend on my spouse.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd go to bed not worrying about my financial future. I'd wake up in the morning without DREADING the day ahead. I'd have colleagues that I respected, and I'd be proud of the work I did.
What is causing you to seek help right now?After time away from work, working on myself, and coming to a better place than I've ever been, I am ready to rejoin the workforce a new person. Knowing my inexperience in job hunting and self-promoting, I felt it best to work with someone who can provide me with expert guidance in the matter.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?A job where there is a bit more freedom. Maybe not in front of phones and computer all day. Still want a challenge. I'm willing to put in effort/hours.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Having a difficult time finding a career that fits my stress levels. I want a challenge, and am willing to put in the effort, but the work environments I've been in don't seem to be a great fit.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I'm not particularly frustrated with the direction my career was going in. I'd like to find a Senior Designer, Design Director or Creative Director position and to figure out how to make that happen by capturing the attention of hiring managers.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I was laid off due to budget cuts about 6 weeks ago. I had been at the company for 6 years. After almost 17 years as a clothing designer, I am out in the job market and am frustrated over sending out resume after resume for jobs I am more than qualified for and not getting a response. Since I am new to the job search, I think maybe I can use some help navigating the system.
What do you want instead?I enjoy working and am very career oriented so being out of work has for sure impacted my happiness and has had an impact on my self worth.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I love what I do and know there are good days and bad days.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to do something that feels meaningful to me, even if it's something that's hard and feels like work. If it's something that I genuinely want to get good at I would feel like it's worth spending 8-9 hours a day doing. Something I am eager to explore. Ideally it would be a career that allows me to live a balanced and healthy life as well.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I'm currently not excited about going into work every morning. I'm not motivated to seek out and complete tasks. I'm someone who loves to learn and grow in most things I do but when it comes to my line of work(programming) I have no desire to get better which makes it feel like a waste of time.
What do you want instead?It affects my mood, I wake up and am not excited to go out into the world. I'm bored during work and I'm tired and guilty when I get home. I am much more antisocial and I'm not eager to talk to my girlfriend about work. And when she brings up her work I feel like I project and am generally negative and pessimistic even if she is excited(which is pretty rare as well)
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would wake up read/watch something while sitting on my front porch/backyard. Eat. Go to work where I'm excited to learn and explore. Work out during my lunch break and have a snack after some days and eat with friends/coworkers the other. Go home, spend time eating/cooking/exploring/hiking/playing music/videogames and sleep. It would be cool, if I got to travel. And if I did get to the point where I could do my job in less than 8 hours/work remote, I would take more breaks to do some of the other activities I mentioned.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Dissatisfaction with my day to day life right now, and fear that if I don't do anything about it I'll have to live the rest of my life like this.

What do you want instead?Potentially but not significantly.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Great question. Wish I knew.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I still have focus and energy I would like to put into narrowing the scope of my work that matches my skill. Want enough Time free to pursue my interests and social life. Perhaps I would like to go into teaching part time, or Train for some specific field to specialize, or go into something like Public Health etc. I am looking for good income for about another year or more. After that I will not stop working but maybe can afford to slow down to make time for travel, write a book, or pursue arts, spend time with kids and their families.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have been in my medical career for 33-34 years, and I feel I need to update myself with the technology and the new ways professionals communicate and network with each other. Also these days it is necessary to work under the scrutiny of Administrators in a Corporate environment. The work environment these days doesn’t allow the doctor to take care of patients in my unique way because there are too many restrictions and my decisions get overridden. Job satisfaction seems elusive.
What do you want instead?I am working through a lot of anxiety, and trying to keep healthy. I was very ill 3 yrs ago, but have managed to heal now. My social life is Zero. Work is not so meaningful any more, just a way to earn enough to meet some financial independence. Being happy with my life has always been challenging due to personal circumstances, but now I feel something has to change about how I live and work. There is some burnout I feel with traditional Family/General practice. Seeing patient after patient for every day mundane problems is no longer meaningful work.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?More complete and fulfilling. I could pursue my personal interests without work distractions.
What is causing you to seek help right now?My current life situation and sudden need to transform my goals of work and personal life is somewhat overwhelming. Need to have basic tools and knowledge of how to do this.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?1. I am somewhat of a marketing unicorn having capabilities in creative, strategy, business development etc., which is good however, in an increasingly hyper focused job market, it has been a hinderance as I have difficulty positioning myself and many companies don't know what to do with me. 2.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Land a job similar to my current one in different industries, like Tech or Media, and start a new life in the US.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I'm a Financial Planning and Analysis manager in an Italian Defence Company. I don't manage to make it to interviews for positions in US which are a perfect match with my current job, which I did for 7 years now. I suspect it is due to the fact I have an engineering degree instead of the accounting or finance degree required for those position. Thus my biggest challenges is currently getting past resume selection.
What do you want instead?I'm not willing to get into a long-term relationship knowing I plan to move to US asap. Money at the moment is not an issue even if living in the Italian capital with my salary is not that easy as it could be living in the US with US salaries. Health, I'm really working myself hard after work hours to look for job and I'm getting really stressed. Thus, happiness has been better throughout my life...
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would concentrate more on relationship and dedicate myself more to my hobbies in my free time, doing also more physical activity to get back in shape.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm quite sure I need some help either in fixing something in my applications or maybe change slightly the positions I'm looking for.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a career that feels well matched to my skillset and for a company that does work or creates products that I'm passionate about. I want to earn what I feel I'm worth, which seems challenging in the LA market compared to SF. I also want to reach a level of accomplishment and expertise in my next role that will give me the confidence that I've done something well and have a deeper skillset than I currently have.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Connecting my background and experience to roles and companies I'm passionate about. I also at times feel like my experience is too mixed and not deep enough in any one area to qualify for the roles that are appropriate for my professional level. I don't want to have to go back to more entry or mid-level roles.
What do you want instead?My financial stability is in jeopardy because I am unemployed and not getting much traction in the job search. The stress of the uncertainty around my future has impacted my overall happiness.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would look forward to going to work. I would enjoy my coworkers and the things I get to accomplish in my work. I would be financially comfortable and be able to pay down my debt and save more for retirement.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?To feel like I have clear life/career goals and a path towards a career that I can feel fulfilled in and make enough money to afford to live.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I went to school for TV/Film and that drove me since I was in High School. Once getting out of school I worked in the entertainment industry for about 2 years and realized that it wasn't for me (the atmosphere was much too toxic for me). Now that I know this I'm not sure what career to shift to and how I can use my skills and abilities to enter into a fulfilling job that pays the bills. I'm also concerned that my degree doesn't make me marketable in a career shift and I do not want to go back to school.
What do you want instead?The impacts are high. After deciding I didn't want to work in entertainment I moved back home, am working a part time minimum wage job and generally feel stuck and like I'm on borrowed time.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Feeling that I am having a positive impact on the world through my job would enhance every aspect of my life as I wouldn't be living for the few hours a day I'm not working. I'd be able to live my life to its fullest not only outside of work but also in my work as well.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have thought long and hard on my own and talked about it with family on what other career paths I may take, but there are so many options and I'm afraid choosing any and realizing it isn't for me is wasting precious time to get onto the correct career path and start building my future.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?For now, something with a more predictable schedule and less travel, with consistant pay that let's my wife not work (ideally). Also, my most recent position was supposed to be more finance/operations and turned into mostly sales, client management, and project management. I don't enjoy sales or client management at all - much happier with my spreadsheets and projections.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Eclectic work experience. Spent a decade in non-profit after MBA - working for org I was passionate about. Had to leave when I got married and started my own consulting business. Merged my business with a colleague, 2 years later. Now after 3.5 years as consultant/entrepreneur, expecting kid #2, my wife is tired of the travel and unpredictable finances. I'm looking for something a bit more stable for this season of life (life with new/young kids). I also would like to build more of core expertise in areas of finance/leadership, and gain enterprise-level knowledge from a large/good company. And it would also be nice to start saving for college/retirement/etc.
What do you want instead?My wife has to work more than we'd like, money has been up and down, too much travel, I'm not happy and loosing confident in myself and skills. I'm not as present to my family, and not happy in my career.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career? - I'd feel fulfilled - I'd be excited (or a realistic extent) to go to work - I'd feel my position is a "fit" for my skills and interests - I'd be able to disconnect from work (as much as possible) and be present to my family for evenings, weekends, vacation - Actually have vacation, and be saving for the future/unexpected.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Transitioning out of my current role, and struggled to find next-step for career. I have identified the need to transition and unsure of how to best position myself. Am trying to build a network locally, but am new-ish to the area.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to decide on the best path forward - to find and be offered a career position that best fits my skills and strengths, and provides me with room for growth and an interesting, supportive environment. I need to look at my options, and understand how much of an obstacle I'm facing due to my age and the gap in my work experience. And then figure out the most effective way to overcome that. I have some ideas - but I need professional guidance. I also know my resume needs an overhaul, and I need to establish a LinkedIn profile.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Two things: 1) I've been out of the market for five years - took time off to raise my daughters. My resume is dated and I'm middle-aged - very tough to get interviews 2) My most recent experience was as a project manager in healthcare, but I don't have enough experience or certifications to really qualify for project manager jobs - and I'm not sure that's what I want to do. What I'm good at is management - of people and processes. Building teams, driving change.
What do you want instead?I need to go back to work for some very practical reasons - I've got one child in college and another about to start, my husband has some health issues - so the security of additional income, plus health insurance and a full-time job, are important. And I miss working - I enjoy the challenge, the relationships with colleagues, the sense of accomplishment that comes with finishing a big project or hitting a milestone, mentoring staff, or just problem solving on the fly.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Very well rounded and fulfilling. The other parts of my life are pretty good - great relationships with family and friends, fun hobbies, lots of interests and regular exercise. But I miss the stimulation and satisfaction that comes from working in a professional environment, and I also am ready to start earning an income and benefits - and the security they provide.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've applied for jobs I felt that I was qualified for on numerous occasions in the last year. I only got 1 call for an interview, and that did not go anywhere. I feel like I've hit a wall - I want to go back to work, but I have not made any progress on my own. I need to look at all my options and develop a realistic plan before moving forward.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to work in a role that is both satisfying creatively (or at least provides for my creative expression/ dream job) flexible, and covers the cost of living in Los Angeles. I want to be able to balance the work by being present at home to coordinate activities/ engagement with my wife and kids to repair the relationships.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have been pushing myself to achieve higher levels of success since getting into the animation industry in 96. I have not yet successfully transitioned fully from television animation to feature animation as a story artist. I have had difficulty breaking through to decision makers as well as polishing my own pitching and interview skills to obtain the story opportunity I have desired since starting in the industry. I am now 46yrs old, the sole provider for the household as a director (middle manager) in the animation pipeline, no closer to a sustained successful transition to story artist role. I'm now concerned that my age, fears, family obligations, possibly even my own lack of belief in the dream, will force me to shelve that dream in this lifetime. If so I'm not sure what direction to choose for sustained success in all areas of my life.
What do you want instead?I recently passed up a large promotion in my current field (which I've had a number of successful years) for a few reasons: 1) the position would lock me in for a lengthy time (possibly 2 years) in a role that I was sure I wanted but would probably require a large time investment for the compensation. It would financially benefit our household but would keep me on a successful career path however it would not move me closer toward the dream job. 2) My wife and I have been growing farther apart (9yrs since my kids were born) and she's at a frustration point with me and my career ambitions. It seemed to boil over in the light of the possibility of promotion, which gave me real pause. I already work long hours in animation and I'm generally not mentally present when I'm home for most dinners and weekends. I can't recall the last time we did something fun together as a couple and I don't remember how to put the career mindset on hold and get back to repairing the relationship. 3) I'm not present to pray or spend genuine time with my kids who will be needing more attention as they enter higher grades (they are 7 and 9 yrs old). We don't have any extended family in town, so my wife is fielding most of the child care responsibilities on singularly. This creates a great deal of tension in the house and since I have been so career self centered that I haven't been available to shepherd my relationships at home.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?To be happy in my career I would need a few things: 1) A role I found that was creatively satisfying, challenging, varied, meets financial requirements and has a less intensive schedule. 2) I would be able to un-plug from the job to be present for my wife and young family.
What is causing you to seek help right now?The lack of strategic planning in my career and personal life coupled with the turning down of a promotion (for family reasons) seems like a failure in my attempts for a successful life. I want to clarify my priorities and thinking to achieve success in career and family, if that's even possible in this age.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?The truth is, if the K2 fund raise works that is likely the best path to a lucrative future for me as we have a better formula for funding films than ever before, and I believe we can become a few million to several million a year profitable based on the plan and projections I've developed with detailed input from my brother. The plan is based on 20+ years of experience and reasonable assumptions, and rather than just continuing to do the same thing as before, it involves growing in new directions based on our experience. This would also be good as it would usher in a new chapter for my brother Mark and me- the "investor" would no longer be our father = would remove a lot of family stress, and help our father who is in late 70s get some relief from being on the hook to help the companies weather cash flow shortfalls. And we'd have the resources to really grow! However I also need to explore other career options concurrently ASAP because I don't have the means to survive for that many months before selling the house to have money to live on- so timing-wise I can't wait for the raise to work or not, before starting to look for other options. That said I am struggling with how to look for other options without undermining the raise. Either way the goal is to end up in a high paying job so I can afford to continue to take care of my family. I was hands on in every aspect of operating the TV channel and have had many roles on the IMAX side as well, but I don't have traditional corporate experience and I'm not really an expert on paper/as far as focused experience at a big company in any one role (and, I doubt any big corporation is going to hire me to run a large TV channel) so it's not obvious to me what I'm looking for. I will say I am hopeful that either via raising $ from an outside source, or finding a job elsewhere, it will lead to a much better extended family dynamic, and better relationship with my wife to be less intertwined with my extended family, financially speaking.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Most of my adult life I've worked for an entrepreneurial family company with my brother and father. K2 Studios is the world's largest IMAX format documentary film studio. I also founded and "spun off" Havoc Television a global cable TV network with carriage in 55mm US TV homes on 120+ cable TV operators (Comcast, Cox, Charter, etc etc). Havoc has done very well to survive as an independent TV channel for 15 years but it needs a new direction now if it's to continue. K2 has 13 films funded/in production for release over the next several years but will be very cash poor until box office receipts pick up later next year. The companies can't afford to pay me anymore, so I'm essentially unemployed now, though I'm leading a fundraise for K2 (which would lead to me staying on as partner).
What do you want instead?I have a wife, four kids a mortgage etc... one daughter is a senior in high school applying for colleges. As you might imagine going from making 450k a year to nothing is a bit stressful! And I don't have the resources to be out of work very long before we'll have to sell our house, which was meant to be the "forever" house after many moves around the area for the family, and burn the equity to survive which would be disastrous as it's my only asset.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I guess first would be defining what 'happy in my career' would mean. The first thing would be, feeling like if I did a good job, I could advance and succeed financially (which if I were still CEO of Havoc or become co-CEO of K2, would mean advancing the company meaningfully)- rather than feeling stuck personally or feeling the company is stuck. And also feeling like my job was "stable" (or in the case of continuing with the family companies, that we had the needed resources and plan to really make it so) or that at least if my job ended, I'd be well positioned to find something else at similar pay level. If I believed I was on a clear path where good work would make a real difference to success, rather than feeling that I'm in a precarious situation that could implode anytime (and how has)... there would be less underlying stress in relating to my family- not to mention less underlying stress about how I can possibly pay for college, weddings, retirement etc. and this would enable me to actually enjoy life and be more present with my family rather than be consumed by "not having anything figured out" and feeling like every day is a crisis situation and I should be working every waking moment to fix it.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Specifically I would like outside perspective on my resume and/or more detailed CV ... and any thoughts or guidance on how to figure out what jobs I may be qualified for, along with a plan for how to actually find them. Also, apart from high school jobs (retail and food delivery), and an internship at Kinko's that I got through the founder who taught a small class I took in college, I've really never been through the process of applying for a job, interviewing etc. or worked for a big corporation. Coaching could also potentially help me succeed in the fundraise (we've always been good at operations and funding specific projects, but never very successful raising money for the companies overall). I think it could also be valuable to have someone insightful with fresh perspective to help me develop a plan for how to focus on both the fundraise AND exploring other options at the same time- without one undermining the other. (I have some ideas but they need fleshing out - along with identifying what "other options" may mean.)

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to be relevant and be one on the leaders in my space (technology) or at least involved / work with companies that are leaders in my space. I feel an upward career trajectory has always been important for me. This, in my assessment, I feel is difficult as I don't think myself as Type A personality.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?At present I am between jobs and that happens to be my biggest career challenge. I was in a job for 13 years where I felt that I was part of the leadership team and company's future. Changes at the C level brought about a new boss that wanted change and I couldn't adapt. This lead to difference of opinion, approach and friction that wasn't apparent. From here on out, I need to first find a role that is similar or better and continue to grow.
What do you want instead?Well, I need to land on my two feet first. Not having a job is not a concern immediately but I do need to prevent it from getting to financial hardships stage - which may be a few months away still. From a family perspective, they are enjoying having me around but the underlying stress about income not coming in is a concern.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would love going to work everyday and the work will give me recognition, maintain California standard of living and put me on a path to retire by 55-60. Enough time for family, relaxing, traveling and pursuing by personal interests.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have recently left my long time position. The way that happened has made me question a few things about myself. Also, it has been 20 years since I formally applied to a job and faced an interview panel.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?To take away the worry about my financial future. To look forward to what I do and feel like it serves a purpose and has a value to me and others. One of the things I love is having conversations with people to try and understand what drives them and their motivations. I also find I really like helping people discover something they hadn't considered in their life. I've thought about getting an MFT license and focusing on marriage counseling. But I'm not sure at 50 going back to school is the right path knowing there won't be any real income from it for several years. So I am very much at a crossroads.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I'm a screenwriter and Hollywood is very much a feast or famine town. While I've had some successes selling/optioning scripts, nothing has been made and right now I'm in the famine stage of things. One of the great hurdles is that no matter how good my writing may be, if a studio has something similar or it can't attach the right director/star, it doesn't have a chance to find an audience. To supplement the Hollywood side, I had been writing treatments for commercial directors (summaries of how they would shoot a commercial if hired). But each of the last several years has seen that income cut because budgets have been cut. So they're hiring fewer outside writers and asking for pay cuts when they do. The greatest challenge is that my outcome is very much out of my hands and there's no financial stability in the field.
What do you want instead?My wife Sarah is a studio exec and is the primary income supplier in our family. That is very stressful for her, and there is great worry about retirement. Health is not suffering, but financial concerns weigh over us with three kids (I'm a step father) - 1 in college and 2 going in two years. The concern over financial wellbeing doesn't come between us, but it is a black cloud that hangs over us all the time. When we see friends taking trips we can't afford or buying a home, it is a reminder of how far away we are despite how hard we both work.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Just thinking about that thought made me smile. I don't know the answer, but I can imagine the feeling. That if there were something I looked forward to and felt inspired by.... if I had an impact on people around me, that would be meaningful. If I didn't worry about money and could take Sarah away on a trip every now and again. I feel like I could embrace life much more if I had that level of financial stability doing something I enjoy..
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm sure you have some sense from what you've read already. But in short, I feel like I'm wading through molasses. I'd love to hear from someone who has faced these questions many other times with people who have been where I am a POV about how to break through.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?To take away the worry about my financial future. To look forward to what I do and feel like it serves a purpose and has a value to me and others. One of the things I love is having conversations with people to try and understand what drives them and their motivations. I also find I really like helping people discover something they hadn't considered in their life. I've thought about getting an MFT license and focusing on marriage counseling. But I'm not sure at 50 going back to school is the right path knowing there won't be any real income from it for several years. So I am very much at a crossroads.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I'm a screenwriter and Hollywood is very much a feast or famine town. While I've had some successes selling/optioning scripts, nothing has been made and right now I'm in the famine stage of things. One of the great hurdles is that no matter how good my writing may be, if a studio has something similar or it can't attach the right director/star, it doesn't have a chance to find an audience. To supplement the Hollywood side, I had been writing treatments for commercial directors (summaries of how they would shoot a commercial if hired). But each of the last several years has seen that income cut because budgets have been cut. So they're hiring fewer outside writers and asking for pay cuts when they do. The greatest challenge is that my outcome is very much out of my hands and there's no financial stability in the field.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I’m at a total loss.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I work in the entertainment industry in tv development. I love television, and have a huge passion for telling stories - but I am burnt out. It’s incredibly demanding, often find myself working in overly emotional, and chaotic environments. I’ve worked at several different companies now, and all fall in these patterns. I wonder if I don’t fit well with the industry culture.
What do you want instead?I always find that I sacrifice things for my own sanity for the sake of work. I wish I could work out more. I don’t have time to properly plan for my meals in a regular basis. I have a loving and supportive fiancé who encourages me to chase my dreams, but I come home every day consistently unhappy and frustrated. It makes me feel less present in the things that DO matter to me in my life.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Busy and exciting, but with sense of balance. I’d be treated with respect.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I’m on the precipice of becoming a junior executive - something assistants tell themselves they can grind it out until they get to that level and it will get better...but i’m Starting to wonder if this toxic environment (yes at my company, but also in the industry at large) is not going to allow for the life I want to lead one day.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Regular income from a career where I can put my best assets to use.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have had a successful career as a screenwriter for many years. But as the business changes and I get older, work is harder to get. I have a degree in English and currently am teaching at the New York Film Academy. However, this simply doesn't pay enough. I would love to figure out what my "transferable skills" are to direct me into a new profession. I've pitched and sold projects to top executives in the room. I can write quickly and meet deadlines.
What do you want instead?Well, being broke isn't fun. Especially when you have two kids. My teenage daughter lives with me full time. My son, from a different mother, lives with his mother and I see him on the weekends. I currently have two film projects in development. They could happen tomorrow and I will be paid quite well. Or they could happen a year from now...or not at all.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'm very organized and have my kids on good paths. I just need the income to take care of them.
What is causing you to seek help right now?As I have been in the film business for thirty years, I don't really know what the rest of the world is like and what other opportunities I could take advantage of with my skill set.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Lack of mentorship, I've been at the same company wearing too many hats gets in the way of being seen as an expert, my current company changes priorities and directions too quickly for me to make solid progress in my career, confusion about what my next step should be, lack of industry connections, etc.

email:JSchreidl@gmail.com
What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?At the top of my list, I don't want another sales job where I have to prospect! I did enjoy working as an Account Executive on the inbound sales team, where interested businesses called into us wanting to purchase our services. I hated (and understandably not successful) cold calling, knocking door-to-door, sending spam emails to possible clients. My ideal job would be to utilize my experience to improve products or processes. I really enjoy making things better and more efficient. And my ideal work-style environment would be to 1.) work remotely from home, 2.) work outside in the field meeting with clients and lastly 3.) working in an office. I would enjoy being measured on my success and productivity on the work that I produce and not simply hours being in an office. If we fail to identify a suitable career that would be a good match for me, then as a LAST resort, I would then consider going back into sales - but not entry-level, as a manager as I was before.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Right now it is trying to identify a new career that may be a good fit for my education, experience, skills and interests. Honestly it has been 18 years since I have really looked for a new job and I know that a whole lot has changed in the job market since then. There are thousands of new jobs that didn't exist even just a decade ago - and I don't know what they are. My biggest challenge now that I am back in the job market is sifting through the mountain of junk and entry-level sales jobs (ugh!) that are just not the right fit all because I was an Account Executive in my last positions.
What do you want instead?To be honest, while I am frustrated with the lack of success in being able to find something that I would enjoy - the other impacts are thankfully minimal. My wife has a great career and she is now making good money in her own right. While I had been out on my approved, paid medical leave I enjoyed having the opportunity to stay at home for our now 6 and 8 year old children. But now I am very eager to find a new job with new challenges that I can be successful at.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My life for me and my family would be great if I were happy in my career. Before I absolutely HATED the extreme stress during the last week or so of every month as I worried about hitting my quota. I am so looking forward to a new career where I can do good work, make a real meaningful impact - and work collaboratively with great people that I enjoy working with. A company with a highly-rated company culture on review sites like Glassdoor would be ideal.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel like I am drowning in a sea of garbage. My inbox has exploded in recent weeks with so many "job offers" from inappropriate emails looking for entry-level sales requiring only a GED, etc. I also need help from an expert on what type of new jobs/careers that I have no idea even exist. I need to have a lengthy conversation with a professional coach to present good jobs/careers that would be a great match for my background and interests. ALSO I need help in successfully penetrating the hidden job market. I know that many of the real professional jobs posted have already identified either an internal or known external candidate that the position is going to. I need a coach with either direct contacts to recruiters in my (new) industry and/or contacts with local/national headhunting firms that can help me land interviews. I can take it from there.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to move out so I can get my life started, but I don't really want to do it by settling for a job that isn't in my chosen industry (music).
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I've been able to get interviews, but I haven't gotten to the second step in the hiring decision. I usually get positive reinforcement from the interviewers that they like me and intend to give me a second interview, but it hasn't happened yet. I've been looking for a job since gradating, which was over a year ago, and I can't figure out why no one wants to hire me. My resume and interviewing skills have improved dramatically over the last year, but I'm still in the same situation since theb.
What do you want instead?It feels like I'm stuck in place. Since I live with parents in a town that is far away from where I want to be, it's nearly impossible to have a social life.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd have my own place, I wouldn't hate goin to work, and I could have a social life.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Ideally, I would like to work with interior design or merchandising/promotion for apparel or product lines. While this would not be a complete career change in terms of industry, it does feel that way. However, I also think that I would be happy in a variety of roles and industries as long as the company was supportive, engaging, and progressive. In my mind, that seems to translate to tech companies...and I'm not sure where I could fit in there.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I'm looking to shift from the sales & management area to something more creative and visual. I'm not great at self-promotion or standing up for myself. I often think that I will be overlooked by employers if can't check off every box of desired skills or qualifications. I'm unsure of the correct pathway or steps to take in order to get the job I want.
What do you want instead?While I do not care so much about my title or "starting over", money is big factor when considering my career change. I have only ever briefly felt some financial freedom and it is hard to invest more in myself money-wise without knowing it will pay off in the long run. I'm at the point in my life where money is mattering more and more so it is hard to justify "starting over" financially. I must admit my physical and mental health are affected by finances, which in turn affects my happiness and relationship.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Less stressful and more rewarding
What is causing you to seek help right now?I need to move past or work through my negative ways of thinking about myself and career. Speaking to a professional and making a plan will make me feel more productive and hopefully get me a new job faster.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would love the opportunity to work at a company that is making a difference and allows me the flexibility to work remotely. I am also thinking of possibly starting my own company to allow me to build a great culture and products.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Finding something that I am passionate about where I can work remotely with frequent travel. The challenge of being remote proves to be difficult for some companies as they would like to have executive leadership local. I have been able to make this work for a couple of companies where I travel on a regular basis to HQ or to see customers and employees.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to find a career that allows me to utilize my skills.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I earned my MBA and MS in Media Ventures with the intent of working in the entertainment business. I have since worked at multiple studios in marketing (approximately 7 years), but have never been fully satisfied with the work. I am currently unemployed and now finding it difficult to find any new position, let alone one that feels like a good fit. My career path was feeling stagnant.
What do you want instead?Being currently unemployed, money is obviously being affected, which affects most other aspects as well.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Less stressful as I would be able to tackle other priorities (relationships, buying a house, vacations, etc.) with the subtraction of job-search/job dissatisfaction issues.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel that my resume paints me as a strong candidate, yet I am struggling to land any interviews. I am seeking a coach to determine if my resume needs work or if there are other issues at play. More importantly, though, I am seeking guidance on a career path that best suits my skills and interests. I have several years of experience in marketing within the entertainment industry, but I have been reevaluating if I would be better placed in a different discipline or different industry.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like help, accountability. and a solid plan of action to move forward.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenge is staying focused and independently motivated over long periods of time. I struggle to ask for help and as a result tend to work alone. I often work effectively in the beginning, but I often lose resolve when I encounter significant challenges and get off track for long periods of time.
What do you want instead?The challenges I face have a significant negative impact on my life because I am aware that I could be achieving much more than I am, however I don't seem to be able to maintain the motivation to pursue my passions.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My life would be busy with activities that excite my attention and motivation, and I would be surrounded by a large network of qualified people who continually broaden my perspective.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am at a juncture in my life right now where I have the opportunity to take significant leaps towards my goals, but I am stagnating in solitude and tired of trying to do everything on my own. I'd like a mentor who can help me move forward more efficiently.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a job that I am passionate about and that I really love.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I don't know what direction I want to go in. I am not sure if I want to continue my current path up the corporate ladder, doing something that I am good at but don't really love. There may be opportunities to move to a different department at my current job. I have been applying to some jobs that are closer to what I am passionate about, but I don't think I am really qualified and have not heard back about interviews. I also applied to some jobs in my current field at other companies, and have had an interview - but am still wondering if that is the right choice.
What do you want instead?I would say they are just effecting my happiness. I would like to make more money but I am not struggling to pay my bills or anything. They are not negatively effecting my relationships that I know of. Health wise my current commute is not great so I am sure that plays into my health.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?While there are always ups and downs in life I feel like my career is the last piece in my puzzle to complete happiness. I am very happy with the changes I have made in my life, and the relationships I have built with those around me - my career seems to be the last element where I am feeling lost.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel like I am at a crossroad and it just seems like the right time to do something.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to be on the path towards a rewarding career where I can learn quickly and advance, and in the meantime help others. I want to be a valuable asset to both the business where I am employed as well as their customers.

What do you want instead?I'm constantly wondering, "what else should I be doing to develop my skills?", but haven't come up with a concrete plan.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I don't exercise, I eat horribly, surf the net, spend way too much time on social media looking at other people's life. And then feel guilty about doing these things that I know aren't healthy.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am not passionate about my career. I don't feel like I'm living my purpose or full potential. I feel stuck and have no idea what direction to take. I feel unmotivated and unfulfilled in my career. I'm afraid to make any drastic career moves, fear of what others think, fear of failure and feeling I am not good enough.
What do you want instead?I am very sensitive and I have major anxiety. My anxiety is impacting my ability to be happy and be present with my husband and 2 kids (5 year old and 3 year old). My health is impacted because I am not exercising and feeling physically feeling a lot of pain in my joints. I am 40 years old.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I have been unhappy in my career for a long time so being happy in my career would change my life. I would live more confidently. I can be more present with my family and friends. I probably wouldn't need to material things for immediate gratifications.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I don't know how else to change my life/mindset for the better. Sometimes, I know what I need to do, but lack motivations. Something is holding me back.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?At this point, I just want something that doesn't absolutely crush my soul but allows me to live comfortably and to have the time to pursue my passions outside of work.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I don't get invited for an interview, despite applying for 500+ jobs
What do you want instead?It has taken a major toll on my finances as well as my mental health. I've been unemployed since Oct 2018.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would have a salary that allows me to at least live comfortably (one trip per year...etc). I would want my work to give my life purpose and/or give me the time outside of work to do projects that are meaningful to me. I want my work to make a difference.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have been unemployed for almost a year and since then I have only had a couple of interviews.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Currently, my main goal is to land my dream job after I graduate from USC in May 2020. I'm interested in working in the entertainment industry; however, don't have experience in the industry and never made it to the final round of interviews. As a business student and financial department intern, I would like to continue gaining experience in finance, however this time in the exciting and motivating entertainment industry. Ideally, I would start with a summer 2020 internship at NBC Universal then apply to their rotational finance program. I get to rotate and work in 3-4 different departments every six months until I choose which area of finance is suitable for myself. Throughout this senior year at USC, I need to work on leveraging my network skills carefully, communication and interview skills and never settle as my ideal career path is right around the corner, and all I need is the right direction from my coach that will help me to open that door.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?- Not knowing which ideal career path to choose, I want to work either in finance or entertainment, and my goal is to land a job with NBC Universal. - Not making it to the final round of interviews and offers - Not having enough confidence due to lack of experience and being extremely nervous during interviews - Having negative mindset and self-sabotaging thoughts and ideas, such as "I'm not going to be successful in this job because I don't have enough experience," or "I'm not the best candidate and will fail this interview as well." - Not having perfect networking and interview skills
What do you want instead?After a long search of internships during my junior year at USC, I was left with none at the end. My resume and LinkedIn Profile was getting lots of attention, and I've been called for numerous first-round interviews. However, after not making it to the final round in any of the companies applied, I decided to seek professional help. It impacted myself a lot, and I became an unmotivated person and didn't want to apply anywhere as I already know that "they are not going to choose me anyway." Not being able to land a summer internship impacted my happiness as I'm a hard-working person and cannot sit at home and do nothing. I always want to keep myself busy, whether it is is taking classes at USC and completing my degree or working at my dream company and continually growing and learning.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I will finally be satisfied with myself as I have reached my set goal and landed my dream job. My life would consist of work M-F probably form 9-5 pm and then enjoying my weekends and evenings with my friends and family. I want to travel around the world, and I plan to work hard every day now so that I can enjoy later.
What is causing you to seek help right now?- Being stuck in my career/industry search and not being able to land the dream job/internship in financial services or entertainment

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I'm open to opportunities that can meld long term stability with a solid income. I'm willing (and eager) to move in to the more corporate side of the entertainment industry, or into an entirely different industry altogether.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?The biggest challenge is that if I truly want to advance, I need to go back to free-lance/independent contractor work, and I'm not willing to go back to that possibility of income instability. So, I've been in the same position for several years with little-to-no room for advancement.
What do you want instead?I like my job, especially the flexibility it provides. But it does cap my income. There are things I'd like to be able to do more often, but am not always able to.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd be a better version of myself.
What is causing you to seek help right now?For the first time in nearly six years, I have an out-date from my current employer (2/2020). And while the odds of it being extended are quite high, it's not a guarantee anymore, which makes this a good time to look for something new (and different).

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Ideally, I'd like to work at a high end agency as a producer (where there is a separate person for New Business and Sales). I want the biggest, most complicated, juciest events to work on. And I would love to work my up within an agency instead of having to apply for a new job or go back freelance any time I feel like I'm not challenged. I'd love to work somewhere with a mentor. I tend to be the one replacing the older workers, so I never get to have a mentor with experience to learn from. I also wonder about just staying freelance and coming onto large scale projects as a consultant/producer, but that involves me having to find my own new business and that seems really scary.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have a lot of short term jobs / gigs that are on an upward trend but with a lot of instability and fear in between. I don't feel like I'm building a career, I feel like I'm sustaining my rent. Only in the last few years has my work starting to advance me within one industry. Before that, I was even jumping from industry to industry so I was never getting to any kind of "next level". I have a hard time finding new clients as a freelancer and on the other side of the coin, I'll never reach an executive position at an agency without being able to acquire new business. In general, I have a hard time marketing myself because I have varied experience and I don't want to pigeon hole myself.
What do you want instead?I have a lot fear all of the time that the work-well will dry. This leads me to spend all my time, employed or not, preparing my materials, reading career advice, networking, researching, trying to get ahead of this fear. And I take jobs for less than my worth because I'm afraid there won't be another one. My relationship gets strained when I'm too blinded by this fear. My career drive can become obsession. My biggest challenge personally is keeping in check my ambition and impatience, while trying to maintain balance when it comes to basing my self-worth on my job.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I'm happy with my career, then I can work on staying in the moment, knowing I'm on an intentional path beyond just clinging to my current job.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've had a lot of ups and downs so I'm looking for a long game plan to stability. I was freelancing until I had a few bad contracts and had to take a full time job to recover in Summer 2018. That job was a nightmare and I quit with a few potential jobs in the air in May 2019. Luckily, in June 2019 I got a 6 month contract with what seemed like a dream company, until they started laying people off last week. I think my job is safe until at least the end of my contract in Nov 2019. But having been in the job market for the last year, I feel like what's keeping me from a great position has more to do with my job searching and networking than my actual abilities or qualifications. I'm not sure how to market and network better.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a life that has either more comfort or more adventure in it (outside of work). Right now life just feels like a grind. I'd like to be viewed as an effective manager who provides vision, sets clear direction, follows-up and follows-through. I'd like to have a job where I have a similar level of agency and better compensation relative to cost of living. And I want more adventure in my life - which I think to me means feeling like I'm progressing toward something major.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?1) REFLECTING: Making the time to reflect on my past 1-2 years, highlighting the major accomplishments, and packaging the sum total of my career into a market-ready package for the jobs I want. 2) DECIDING what path I want to go down next knowing that I'm at a critical juncture in my career where what I do next will likely lock in my professional brand for the remainder of my career. This includes function (strategy, product, marketing) as well as location. 3) NETWORKING: I have a pretty great network from Wharton IDEO, but I've neglected it. Between demanding jobs, multiple moves, and having a toddler, I've underinvested in my network. Now I need to reactivate that network, but I feel stuck on how to do it in a way that doesn't feel selfish or transactional. 4) MANAGING my time & others with clarity and focus. My role fragments my attention across no fewer than 7 disciplines, but even before that finding a system to manage my time & focus (that I actually stick to) feels like a self-limiting factor.
What do you want instead?I feel successful but frustrated, like I'm failing my way forward on all fronts. My wife and I are at odds over where to live - I want to move somewhere cheaper so we can afford a house and comfortable lifestyle, but she wants to stay in CA, and it seems like all the jobs I'm qualified for now are in big expensive cities. I also want to be more present for my 3 y.o. son and wife when I am home, but I'm always either thinking about work or dog tired. I've been sick more in the last year than ever in my life, and I'm only making it to the gym ~3x / mo whereas I used to love lifting weights, swimming, cycling and rock climbing. Financially, we're stable and socking away money - this is maybe the bright spot of life, but I still feel the crush of my six figure student loans.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I love my job now, but it's coming to a close. Ideally I'd be in a position where I am able to influence at least a part of a growing company or exciting product, with smart and driven co-workers. I'd have either significant upside (equity or bonus) or relative stability and generous comp on par with my peer group (250-300k/yr) -- enough that I could afford to pay off loans, buy a home, and build up personal savings.
What is causing you to seek help right now?My current company is winding down, so its time to find something new. But do I double-down on strategy / innovation, or stretch to go into marketing or product management? I am a top performer, but it has been a long time since I've gotten any effective coaching and I've made a couple of big jumps in scope of authority and responsibility. It's time to level up my personal OS to keep up with those changes.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I'm not entirely sure. I have been focusing my efforts on getting a new job, but I'm not entirely certain that will solve my problems. I am being very specific on the jobs that I am considering.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?The following are my biggest challenges - 1. I am currently a Director-level employee at a mid-sized media company, leading a small team. I am now at the point in my career where I no longer work on day-to-day projects, but am responsible for managing my team, communicating effectively to leadership, and dealing with the workplace politics. I am finding it incredibly challenging to balance the politics, along with leading my team (the majority of whom are still junior-level employees). 2. Throughout my 20's, I focused on gaining many different types of skills. I did this by design, as I thought that accumulating experiences many different skills (at the expense of truly mastering one) will give me the breadth of knowledge to eventually run a team/department. However, I'm now finding that my lack of singular experience is hurting me in my job hunt.
What do you want instead?I am an introverted and laid back person by nature. The constant need to deal with complicated relationships and misaligned interest with other people cause me a lot of mental stress and anxiety. My physical health has also taken a toll, as I have not been exercising regularly for the past year. I also have a chronic back problem that has been flaring up.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My personal happiness is highly correlated with my career happiness. The reason I have been more emotionally repressed is because my career doesn't feel like it's on the right track.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I figured out that I should seek professional counsel before making drastic (and costly) decisions. I am not getting any younger and am looking for a long-term solution and not short-term relief.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I think one of the biggest challenges is being confident I'm on a path for continued success. I ask myself a lot of questions I'm sure many people do. Where is my career headed? Am I in the right role//profession/industry/company, and where is this all headed. So perhaps an overall concern that I'm not going in the right direction is a challenge. I had to re-invent myself 4 years ago and pivot my career. I've had some success, but not what I had envisioned from an earnings standpoint.
What do you want instead?I'm generally a happy person, healthy and have a great relationship with my family (kids). Because of my career pivot, income has become an issue that's caused strain on my relationship with my wife. That's a part of why I'm reaching out for guidance/advice on career moves.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?This is the challenge, I do feel happy in my current profession and really enjoy what I do. But I'm not sure I'm in the right spot (company, industry), or not capable, or maybe I'm way off base. "Stuck" may be a good description, but there are areas I really enjoy in my current profession.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've never explored career coaching or life coaching. So I'm really in the infancy stage of determining whether it's something I would benefit from.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to have a career path in which I am confident in my trajectory, have high potential for growth both financially and personally, and one in which my day-to-day tasks are ones in which I care about more than simply a way to make money. I want to work hard, but I want to know my hard work is benefiting myself and my career, in addition to the company I am working for.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Knowing where/how to take the next steps as I have no experience in the industry I would like to get into, and how to create opportunities and make the most of them. I know the industry I would like to get into, but at the same time I know that it is not easy to get into and there is a lot of competition. It feels like for the first few jobs I had, that I was putting in a lot of effort without any passion/underlying drive. My biggest challenge now is finding out what knowledge I need to gain in order to be a valuable asset in the entertainment industry, how to create opportunities, and how I can get in with an advertising agency/production house where I can work my way up without first having to take a large pay cut.
What do you want instead?My relationships have suffered because I've felt like I shouldn't be spending money/free time on things that won't further my career. My finances have also been impacted due to me taking a low salary "management trainee" job out of college and then going to a job where I sold life insurance and had no salary, only commissions. I felt like I haven't had any stability or normalcy, or felt like I've been truly advancing my career as I've been trying to figure out what I want my path to be and have held mostly entry-level positions.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I was happy in my career, I would spend the majority of my days in a positive mental state and be present in each of my days rather than spending a lot of my days wondering what else is out there that I could be enjoying. I would be working hard during and outside of work hours to excel the best that I can, and would be happy because I would ideally have a sense of purpose in a career that I am actually passionate about.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel overwhelmed and lost in terms of what I don't know about the industry. I have tried reaching out to individuals in my own network, but I do not know many people in the entertainment/advertising industry. I am seeking mentorship/guidance and help with finding and advancing in a new industry with a company that values hard-working individuals open and eager to learn, and creating a plan in how to advance the most efficiently in that career.

What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Well, it would get me a few steps closer to having a balanced work/life, It's only one part in a while suite of things that need to happen, but it's a big step.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm at a crossroads, at 47 years old, having had two major careers I'm looking to figure out the next direction, but within my own career search and within my own career path. It's the age old; "What do I want to do when I grow up" I'm highly skilled and knowledgeable within an industry that is rapidly shrinking, yet has been intensely rewarding.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to know my purpose and calling. A focus and direction/ career path. Then just go about doing it. I have two/three paths I'm thinking about, but they are very different. So I need to choose between them as I don't have enough time/energy to do all.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?1) finding a single focus/ career path, difficulty making a decision 2) finding motivation 3) administrative limitations (e.g. international work visa etc.)
What do you want instead?1) Relationship: terrible (affects my confidence when socializing with others, do not want to go out with friends till I'm in a better situation; family, feel ashamed around them) 2) I can pay my rent and expenses. But I'm not happy with it. My peers are doing so much better and some already bought two houses. 3) Physical health: generally ok. Mental health: often feeling sad, tired, a lack of energy and motivation. 4) Happiness: not happy generally. Not happy with where I am in life right now.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Wonderful. Secured. Happy.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Not sure where else to find help. A desire to discuss my situation with a neutral stranger to get professional, objective advice.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Currently, I feel that the biggest challenge for me regarding my career, is to find the next logical position. I've been in physical production in feature films for 20+ year, and I'm ready to move into an executive role.
What do you want instead?It's been positive as it's moved me towards self inquiry and reflection. I am complicit in that my actions have lead me to this point, however, I may not have been aware. It was not always positive tho, and has had me in a state of limbo with a relationships , money, health and happiness)
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I am happy in my career. I acknolwedge that I'm not where I'd like to be, but I'm feeling very happy.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm on a film that I'm producing for my current employer. I am not under contract and yet I have 11 months remaining on this project. I am using this time to work on my career strategy to getting a next job on the studio/content side of production. I also acknowledge that the skills that got me to where I'm at today, are not the skills that I need to move to where I'm going.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I don't have a career, I have a series of jobs. I can do and have done many things, but my job titles and what I do frequently don't match. The Great Recession really destroyed my confidence.
What do you want instead?I feel lost, confused and overwhelmed. I hate the company I currently work for and it sucks the life out of me.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?More rewarding overall. I envision feeling better about myself, a greater sense of stability.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to feel that I have time in my life to explore things I value, build a better future with my husband, and make money in a way that opens the door toward a more solid life for future children. I want a career that has the opportunity for growth, but does not use me. I think I am in the wrong career path, so I want to determine a path that feels like it is 'clicking' with my mindset and background, instead of pushing a boulder up a hill. After discovering this, I want to make actionable and ambitious goals towards building that future for myself. I feel I am extremely successful operating at 20% of my potential, and want to see what happens when I am actually able to thrive.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?-Defining my true goals and intentionality in my work. I have a lot of paths I could take but most of the time it feels like the work chooses me. I sign up for jobs that are excessive hours and extremely difficult for work/life balance. I would like to build a life AND a career, and hope to have children soon. Currently, working 80 hour weeks with a four hour commute, it feels a bit hopeless. However, I don't want to just switch to a different job until I really understand my path and what I value, or I will end up in the same situation.
What do you want instead?Relationship - unable to consider a family or build in our relationship. He is set in his path and I am constantly playing "grass is greener" what ifs, it leads to so many fights. Money - I believe I should/could be making a lot more money with my skillset, and am settling. I want to change this as I am unhappy with my current salary. Health - Dwindling. Can never find time to work out. Reaching burn out. Constantly empathetic style in management leaves me taking on the stresses of others. Happiness - I have perspective and know that things are 'good' overall from an external perspective, but inside I am screaming.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?It is hard to imagine it. I think I would feel that nothing was impossible. The perception of myself would be different. I would have mindspace to enable others to be empowered and grow in a similar way. I would have things that I valued and wanted to share.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am at an impasse. I am 31 and a woman, how does one have kids *and* a global tech startup career?! What about hobbies? Friends? How is anything else possible?

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I believe, tech consulting brings extra burden. Either I want to switch career path, alternatively move towards management instead of operations/delivery roles. I have a hobby which is my true passion but reluctant to make it as a career. Need to discuss if I it's feasible for me at this point of career to make a calculated plan to switch.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Work life balance...! Feeling like a job instead of passion In order to keep up with the tech industry pace and being a consultant, it becomes extremely exhausting.
What do you want instead?Not feeling passionate anymore about my job, hence not happy. Less family time. Constant long hours with extreme pressure to deliver

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?If possible, a desire to go into work on a daily basis. If work is not going to bring me much satisfaction, perhaps I could simply be making more money as well. At this point, I just want to explore my options while knowing I have a good, safe job. I want to know my "value" in the job market.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have been doing the same thing for 15 years. I am struggling with motivation and feel I may have peaked in the organization. I am slightly golden handcuffed because of the flexibility, salary and paid leave I am afforded; however, I am not sure if those things justify my borderline boredom at this juncture.
What do you want instead?I get no satisfaction from my career. I have never defined myself by my career; however, I do want to feel a sense of accomplishment again. Furthermore, my organization does not fully utilize my skills. I spend way too many days alone and not corresponding with people. So, overall, I think my current job is impacting my overall happiness in a negative way.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I think my life would be more balanced. It would also help stimulate what I consider to be a good life I already have outside of work. Additionally, I suspect that it will provide me more confidence amongst my peers.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have been doing the same job for 15 years, directly out of graduate school. I have never done a job search and only interviewed for one job in my entire life. I have no idea where to start.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I'm still figuring that out and I would like your help, but in an ideal world: > I'd like to have a great work/life balance that allows me to pursue my many interests > I'd like to find interesting and fulfilling work > I'd like to work with fun and interesting people > I'd like to feel like a good "match" in terms of my strengths, skills and experience > I'd like an opportunity to grow my skills and learn new ones, > I'd like to make a decent salary and have good benefits
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?As mentioned in my email, I am currently between jobs following a year-long travel sabbatical. Figuring out where I go from here is my biggest challenge. When I was in my last role, my biggest challenges were: 1) effectively managing a creative team at the corporate level, 2) adapting to a very high turnover rate and occasionally incompatible management styles at the level above me, 3) staying up-to-date with industry trends, and 4) managing burnout.
What do you want instead?I was happy with the money at my job. My health was fine. My happiness sometimes suffered from the stress, long hours, and feelings of inadequacy (I will explain). In terms of relationships, these challenges had little effect on my relationships with my peers and with most senior staff. They did have some effect on my relationship with my direct reports. While most saw me as a capable, effective and supportive manager, a few did not (I will explain). I also struggled with my relationship with my last boss. An incident that he perceived as an error in management on my part ultimately led to a major clash between us that made me rethink my employment with the company. This triggered me voluntarily leaving to pursue my dream of travel.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Amazing.
What is causing you to seek help right now?In April 2018, I decided to fulfill a lifelong dream and take a mid-career “sabbatical” to travel the world. I’m beginning my transition back into the working world and I want to make sure that I: 1) make the right career move, 2) avoid prolonged unemployment, and 3) stay positive and motivated through this difficult process

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?This is the question. Something involving writing and creativity where what I've learned to do well is somewhat applicable. Something more stable. Is that Branded Entertainment? I've heard people mention it but still not entirely sure what it is. The biggest goal is take 100% of the dependency for a career on resting on whether or not I sell a show or my friends do. The numbers game is simply brutal.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I'm a TV writer so lack of certainty of work and income is the biggest challenge. That said, I've been doing it so long it's hard figure out other sources of income, both part time or full time that my skill set applies to. Also staffing as a TV writer is such a specific type of job search, it's overwhelming to look at all the types of jobs and ways to find them and figure out which and how to target effectively.
What do you want instead?Very much. I have a mortage. I'm looking to start a family sooner rather than later. And happiness very much so. Stressed more than ever and believe it's taking a toll on my health.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I've always said I just want to earn enough to live comfortably and not sweat small stuff. If I build a family, that shifts that. I'd like to have insurance not have any obstacle to getting consistent health care. I would like to feel creatively satisfied. Acheiving these things would allow me to focus on frankly the more important things - my relationship, my family, my personal happiness and getting what I want out of life.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Shifting careers (or deciding to shift careers and, if so, how) is very daunting. Doesn't seem head hunters exist in my field as they do in others so it's a challenge navigating effectively.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Want to transition to a place with healthy culture and an environment that is very conducive to growth. It is mutually beneficial to be in a healthy environment where I feel I can contribute at a significant higher level vs. today.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Currently, I am struggling with the decision I made to take my current role after a very successful career at GE. Wanted to get insights on next steps and potentially look at transitioning into a similar role in a tech organization such as Google/Facebook.
What do you want instead?The challenges are certainly impacting significantly in terms of ability to grow vs. just manage day-day activities, professional development seemed to have slowed down and as a result affecting overall happiness at work.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I love working in organizations with strong missions and healthy cultures. If I was happy in my career, I feel like it would affect overall quality of my life in a positive way. I always judge happiness by the motivation a person has to get up early and show up at work and I think happiness in career will certainly up my overall motivation enabling significantly elevated outcomes for the customers.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have always believed in harnessing people's expertise. Career coaching is an area where I feel I can certainly benefit from coaching and couple that with the current challenges made me seek coaching right now.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?A job that will value my work, financial stability and a better sense of purpose.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Currently, it is determining the best career path and finding a new job and/or career. Trying to figure out which careers would be a good match for my skills and interests.
What do you want instead?Being unemployed negatively impacts all areas of my life. Primarily finances, self esteem and general sense of purpose. It also makes me feel isolated and less willing to interact with family and friends.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be financially stable, have increased confidence, be able to do more things outside of work and have better personal relationships.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am currently unemployed after having been primarily self-employeed for about 20 years. For the last 7 years I was part of a family owned business that was sold earlier this year. I was brought on board by the new owners to run the business but was resigned after the new owner reneged on our agreement. I am unsure of the best career path given my age (50), lack of formal business training and non-traditional work history in what seems to be a very specialized job market.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want stability and to make enough money to at least feel confident and in charge of my own life. I want to be able to know when I'll be paid, and when I'll be off for the day, etc. I want a little flexibility, but not so much that I don't get enough work. I really need my own time for myself in my life in order to not feel swamped.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Standing out against others, maintaining a solid schedule, landing gigs, mental health issues from long hours as well as issues from not ever having enough hours. I'm in the industry I think I want to be in (music/audio/studio recording), but the unpredictable hours and low pay are making my life difficult.
What do you want instead?I'm totally broke. I cannot even afford my own rent. This does affect my relationship with my girlfriend and family, and it exacerbates my preexisting anxiety and depression.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would have solid, predictable hours. I would be able to afford my own rent, car, insurance, etc. I would have actual weekends that I know I could make plans for. I wouldn't be on call 24/7. I would be compensated fairly, and I wouldn't be overworked. I would really prefer to only work 40, maybe 35 hours a week depending on the job, but I can't have that kind of choice with my current job.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel like I keep going backwards, and I can't seem to get out of the rut that I'm in. I am scatterbrained. I'm considering going back to school for computer programming, but that's a brand new career path where I have to start from scratch, and I'm not sure it's what I should do. I really need advice and help on figuring out the next step for me. I want to be able to use my expertise I have now with something computer related (I think, anyway), but I have no clue how to get there. I even signed up for a class this summer that teaches a coding language called Python to see if it sparks something in me, but again, I'm just shooting in the dark.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I've done the grunt work in the event industry, I am ready to build teams and mentor the next generation of event super stars. I want to be more of the strategic planner in growing revenue, revamping events, coaching staff rather than being the labor physically doing it all.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I tend to get bored really quickly. I am in the event industry but I have been in positions that churn out the same events year in and year out and I get over it. I also tend to fall for bait and switch companies that promise the position to be one thing but is something completely different once I am in the role.
What do you want instead?Since work is where I spend 90% of my life, my unhappiness spreads out to the rest of my life. I feel that I am always frustrated and low energy because I am unhappy at work.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I am a purpose driven individual. I like to feel like my work is adding value to both my employer and others. I want to get that feeling again (it was there, I got jaded along the way)
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've hit a wall in the job search process. I've been ghosted more times that I can count (I rather get rejected but such is life.) I also want to make sure I am going for the jobs that will put me in the right path for career growth. I feel many times I've done things out of desperation and it sets me back. I want to be challenged and feel energized to go to work. And of course money. Who doesn't want more of it?

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like to improve my network and be with positive people who are hard working and supportive.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am at my best when I am trying to be supportive, rather than competitive. Recently MBA graduated, I would really like to work for/with talented yet humble and hard-working people, who are truly trying to make a positive impact to the society and for the next generation. However, due to my lack of assertiveness and tendency to avoid conflict, it is easy for others to take advantage of me and difficult for others to take me seriously. Therefore, in 2018, I decided to study programming and data science fields, since I am generally more analytical; and now I am seeking for a job to land again.
What do you want instead?Even though I am very fortunate to have my parents support me financially, I really need to start making and saving money for my future.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I enjoy simple life, so does a disciplined but meaningful work - it motivates me if my work could genuinely help others, and I always have a tender heart for those who are in the disadvantages.
What is causing you to seek help right now?people around my current cycle of life seem to either be distracted by the digital world or lost their focus of what are truly important things in life.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a career that ultimately supports myself with money from my writings, where I can be my own boss. I have ideas covering everything from a TV series script that I've been toying with, continuing my sci-fi book series (few sales from my newly launched e-Book so far), or working on writing and producing a YouTube series of programs I've roughed out that can be turned into a money maker (hopefully) based on advertising revenues and Patreon sponsorships. I think a very big part of me likes that last one idea: the YouTube idea.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I've spent over 30 years writing for advertising agencies, a New York publisher (six published books), I've done some spotty freelance, finished a new sci-fi comedy on Amazon Kindle eBooks, and I've had an essay in the LA Times. But with all that experience behind me, I'm lost when it comes to making a concerted move toward a career I want so badly to be fulfilling and enjoyable and not merely a writing one that merely brings money into our household. It seems to be an either/or situation, or at least my partner and I seem to think fulfilling is a pie-in-the-sky project. Deep down, there's a side of me that thinks it doesn't have to be that way. Also, I need a coach with unique ideas in how to get that career.
What do you want instead?My day job is selling at bloomingdales right now, so it causes concern that I'm not on the right track for both my partner and I. Money is mediocre right now, but my partner is handsomely paid and is willing to support me on any career path...as long as I'm bringing something into the household. Health is great for 61. And with the exception of my lousy, unfulfilling, underpaid day job, my life and relationship is great to be honest.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Amazing. The rest of my life is great. I'm in a loving relationship with a rare man who "gets" me, we live in a very nice apartment, we travel, I have two cats, and I get a lot of intellectual stimulation from my life and partner. I just need a career that makes me jump out of bed in the morning, lets me write a good portion of the day, and puts my in charge of my own life...not working for some corporate machine.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I can't seem to figure out what road to go down in my choices: advertising, novels, essays, or my proposed YouTube channel. I figure if I can choose the right direction, you can help me design unique ways of creating or landing that fulfilling job.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?A start, in short. I am loathe to jump in pursuit of a higher degree without a deal of industry experience, to avoid specializing in the wrong field. To my mind, it is only with this knowledge that I should even consider moving onwards to the prospect of a doctorate and/or professional certification. To that end, I suspect there are some ways to improve my interview skills; depending, my resume may also have some room for growth.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?At the present, having one to speak of. I have been sending job applications for about a year with little to show for it. Granted, I am at least vaguely aware of using such systems as LinkedIn to directly reach out to people and arrange meetings, but I know not who to contact and dare not to find out nor try. To go that far would truly be the death of me. In the meantime, I have had interviews but perhaps my skills there are lacking.
What do you want instead?Thankfully, I am blessed with the mercy of my family and need not worry desperately for money. However, my extended unemployment and the omnipresent familial pressure to bring results is likely harming both my personal relationships as well as my health, both physical and mental. I imagine we should not need to speak about happiness in general. There is only so much that antidepressants can do.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Distracted enough not to be trapped in the nihilism that is looking forward to the 9-5 until retirement, in the best of cases. Otherwise, not greeting the coming of a new day and a return to the responsibilities of work with dread. More practically, I imagine that to be happy in one's career is to desire no more changes in job field, where one can settle and begin to rise up the ranks. Presumably impossible in my stage, given my possession of only a Bachelor's. Not... particularly helpful, I fear. As someone who has never had a career, I'm afraid I may not truly know.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Familial pressure, I must admit.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I am looking for a career path that is challenging preferably in FAANG companies (due to $ factor and brand value). I come from a product development background and I have always loved building something new. But, I have not been able to do this after moving to IT consulting.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am "stuck" in my current role. Due to various constraints (location, visa / work permit, technology, domain area), I am not able to land the right opportunity within my current organization. I was promoted as "Senior Manager" in 2015. After that, my career growth has stalled and my year end ratings were "3 - Met expectations" (for all the years). When I asked my supervisor, I get the same feedback every year that my numbers (Sales, Revenue managed) were low compared to my peers. Overall, this impacts my bonus and salary increment. Sometimes, I feel that I should not have gone up for promotion and I was doing better as a Manager.
What do you want instead?There is always some kind of stress and restlessness to find ways to improve my revenue managed and sales. Due to this, I take up additional work (even though they don't help in my career) on top of my billable role. This leads to working extra hours (weekends as well) and keeps me away from my wife and 3 year old son. We are planning to have an another kid and need more money. Due to work stress, my diet was poor and have not worked out for a while.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Sense of achievement, quality time with my family, help people in need and give something back to the society that got me until here
What is causing you to seek help right now?I don't have a clear direction at this time and there is no one I can seek advice. I am constantly looking for answers for some of the questions below: 1) Should I continue in my current role if I know that I will end up with a 3 rating ? 2) Should I look for opportunities with other Big 4 consulting companies ? If yes, what kind of roles should I target for ? 3) Should I continue in my current area of SAP consulting or switch to a new area completely? 4) Should I enroll in a Masters program that helps me develop skills in new technologies like AI, ML, Data Science etc ? 5) Should I write IELTS to apply for a Canadian work permit or move back to India and restart my career by doing MBA from a reputed school ? (I am considering an MBA in US as it is very expensive and don't want to add financial burden)

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I don't like my current job and the industry I work in.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to start figuring out where do I belong based on my strength and the areas I need to improve on in order to get there.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have been in corporate finance for the past 15 years working in many different industries. In the start of my career I moved around for money due to starting at a very low paying job. Moving around didn't allow me to get the right skill set that I need. At this point in my career I know I can do better then just being in corporate FP&A departments and I have way more to offer. I need help making the right transition into a career I will be happy to perform and excel on. But I am not sure into, which side of the business Operations? Sales? Running a divisions within my company or just leave corporate america and start something on my own. I find myself a bit lost and I am 36 about to be 37 so I think to figure things out soon,
What do you want instead?I am not satisfied with where I am in my career and I live in LA and about to get serious with my girlfriend. This puts tremendous amount of pressure on me to figure things out and start to increase my income and make a great life for myself and my future family.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I will be able to focus more and make sure I become as great as I want to be. It also allows me to be a high performer and gives me the financial freedom that I truly seek.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am at a point in my career that I need to make some serious decisions about my career path. I need someone to be my sound board as I make these decisions.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I am looking for a career that allows me to see the direct impact of the work I do, that helps other people individually (and potentially collectively), that pays well enough that I can afford to travel to see my family/friends regularly if they don't live nearby, that allows me to be a subject matter expert (so that people request my services), and potentially activates both the analytical/quantitative and creative parts of my personality. If the job can only meet some of the expectations, I'd like to be able to have enough free time outside of work to just live. As a child I read a good deal of Agatha Christie and was taken by one character in "4:50 From Paddington" named Lucy Eyelesbarrow. She had a mathematics degree but made her fortune as a "domestician" -- a cook and housekeeper. Taking advantage of the shortage in domestic workers, she does the job so well that she takes on contracts (a couple weeks here, a month there), charges high wages, and travels in between commissions. If it turns out it's much more lucrative to do an "undesirable" job as opposed to a job that fulfills my "passion," I'd rather be able to charge a premium and be able to set my own hours.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I sometimes have thoughts that the work I do assisting in the creation of blockbuster movies is either a meaningless waste of time or actively harmful to the world. My specific role is a support function designed to increase the capacity of a Vice President. It has not been engaging for me and I do not enjoy the limitations of autonomy (i.e., must be answering email or at my desk at a given time). Those things are about my job. I can't see yet what my career should be, and when I look at the internal career site of my massive conglomerate of a company, there doesn't seem to be anything that is exciting to me either.
What do you want instead?My ambivalence about career brings stress to my life. Living in Los Angeles, across the country from my family, the people I encounter at work are my most frequent interpersonal contacts. It is difficult when it seems that my goals are not aligned with my coworkers' stated goals/desires, because that makes me feel isolated. My current team is trying to place me into a new opportunity somewhere inside my company, but my lack of clarity makes it difficult for me to articulate ways they can support me in making a transition.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?The career would not take up much of my mental energy. I'd be able to spend time doing more things I enjoy, learning new skills, taking classes, and strengthening my social connections.
What is causing you to seek help right now?3 years into my time in the entertainment industry, I am considering what my next opportunity might be, and very little in my field of view reads to me as exciting. I'd like to do a deep dive, spending a lot of time evaluating my personal preferences, talents, skills, and interests using assessments and then rely on the expertise of a coach to help me find paths I don't know that I don't know about that might be a fit. I'm looking for a structured way to approach my self-discovery.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenge is finding an actual career that I find both fulfilling and financially rewarding. I majored in Urban Planning and did not find a job in that field due to lack of interest after graduation.
What do you want instead?THis is impacting my life negatively. I feel stagnant and lazy. I also feel like I'm wasting a lot of time. Figuring out what I want to do and if I have the skills to back it up is tiring work and I also don't feel very confident.

What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm feeling stuck and seeking professional help for insight on how to improve as well as would need to be accountable.. I'm very lazy and each day is just more time wasted.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?A position where I am heading a department as director, manager, VP or high rank wherein I report to the CEO without the interference of others making huge contributions to the organization while creating a happy environment. I am kind to others to a fault and that works against me...I need to learn to speak up and be diplomatic but assertive to play the game.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?CONFIDENTIAL: Been rapidly climbing up the corporate ladder since I decided to make a career move. I have gone from paralegal to head of contracts for global organizations. I'll pick up the speed and often make a seamless transition, establish a solid respectful work relationship with my colleagues been called a genious at times but one who thinks out of the box (not too desired at some place)... I'll prove to be a hard worker and put in as much time to handle my projects (often too much will be thrown at me and I won't ever complain). My work involves a high level of collaboration with various leadership members. However, I'll slightly change direction and not include members as much in the process, that will slow me down, hinder my performance or just are dead weigh for the contract/project at hand. If those members have seniority, then they'll turn on me and become strong adversarial forces and will dig under me and since I am a zero gossiper and the new member, they will be on a mission to oust me. Not having seniority, their word against mine, I won't even put the effort forth to prove my case and I will happily leave and go on to bigger better things!
What do you want instead?Not being able to establish myself financially consequently such challenges marginally impact my relationships. My kids will feel a let down every time I move from a job!
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?It would be fantastic!
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am seeking to bring about in my professional world the kind of work environment that will have the right mix of people and in the industry that will compliment me in most ways.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I think I'd be best-suited as a writer and motivational speaker. (Although, I'll admit that I'm not 100% sure.) But I have no idea how I can realistically pursue a career as a writer/speaker that will meet specific financial goals.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I don't think I'm in a career path that is leveraging my greatest strengths. As a result, I am not experiencing the growth, success, or value-creation that I know I'm capable of.
What do you want instead?Financial stress is significant. I'm doing my best to not let it affect my health, happiness, and relationships, but I'm sure it's taking a toll on all three.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Honestly, I'm not unhappy in my current career. My unhappiness stems from the inability to generate a certain level of income. And I think that I would give myself the best chance of increasing my income, fulfillment, and impact on a different career path.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm a firm believer that people who are doing what they do best give themselves the best chance to be fulfilled, financially successful, and create value for others. I'm looking for a coach who can help guide me toward the career that leverages my strengths. (Again, I think that's writing/speaking, but I admit that there may be other paths that leverage my greatest strengths.)

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I realize that my happiness is related to my feeling of success. I want to feel like I am valued in what I do and to feel like I'm important. It's not enough that my family values me, I need to feel like I'm important to my workplace, too.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I work in a role (Software Product Management) that I have been incredibly successful at in the past, gaining a good reputation and significant advancement. In my current job, however, I haven't excelled, and my management is very dissatisfied with my performance. I feel that I may have hit my limit on how far I can go in this field, that my temperament and skills fit well with the career at lower levels but not at higher levels.
What do you want instead?I have a stable family, a good home, and good money, but I feel no emotional safety at work, and my personal definition of success up to this point has been career-based. Feeling scared bleeds into other areas of my life, making it difficult to focus on being a good husband and father.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would feel safe that my health insurance and ability to provide from my family are stable, based on me being valuable to an organization; that they could not easily dispose of me, so I can make long-term plans based on my employment.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I received the worst review of my career yesterday, and feel like I am being set up to be laid off. Knowing that a major job search is coming, I'd like to know what I'm looking for, since I feel I do not want to repeat my mistakes.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Options and eventually freedom, both in money and time. I'd like to build my career to a point when I no longer have to devote more and more of my time to it to be successful but rather build a platform I can receive dividend from my previous work and connections.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Going from a well-liked exec to a highly-pursued senior exec - building up my profile in the industry so that I get speaking roles at industry conferences and attract recruiters and other opportunities. Previously also had career setback when I got the senior position I wanted and would like to find a niche that allows me to be successful as the decision maker and eventually be able to build a business based on my knowledge and connections.
What do you want instead?My career is going well right now so I'm quite happy most of the time. My current work has been adding value both in money and happiness. I would prefer to have a higher industry profile and have more options so that I do not feel i'm at the mercy of my current company continuing to like me.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I have the freedom to spend more quality time with my family and travel for myself. I am recognized and well respected in my industry that opportunities find me.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've had a great year at work where my bonus doubled in a year. I would like to double it again next year, either through the current job or new opportunities. I am also going through a divorce after finding out my husband cheated on me during my pregnancy - while I am confident in my ability to do well post-divorce, I would like to do everything I can to secure more options in my career/job to achieve a higher level of certainty with my income growth trajectory. The current company's owners love me but I am worried there are management issues that would lead to changes I don't like later this year.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to excel in all areas of my industry and I want to stop second guessing myself. I want my resume to exemplify my skills and turn recruiters heads when they stop by my linkedin profile. I want to be the best version of me.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenge is a lack of confidence in myself. I tend to second guess everything that I do even when the subject discussed is one I would consider myself an expert in. My job requires me to be in the know when it comes to healthcare legislation rules and sometimes it can get difficult to keep up with the constant changes in my industry. Part of my job requires me to act as a sales agent and with no training on how to do that it can get difficult when I need to build a relationship with a client.
What do you want instead?I am unable to build lasting relationships with my clients when I am constantly second guessing myself. I enjoy helping people, its in my DNA to want to help any and everyone as best I can. I focus so much time worrying if I know enough that it takes me away from helping my clients.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I was happy in my career I think I would be willing to take more risks. I am comfortable where I am at in my career but I haven't gotten that sense of fulfillment yet.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am in a place in my career where its early enough for me to make a change without jeopardizing my future. I also have goals to eventually move to southern California and I would like direction on how to go about that. I feel motivated to advance in my career and personal life, but this is a task that requires me to have a coach or mentor if you will.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Short answer: I would like to land the full-time job that I set out to get when I started the MBA Program - a marketing role in the entertainment or tech industry. To do that, I believe that I need professional help to diagnose what is going wrong. So, I am looking for someone who can help identify concrete areas of improvement and refine my approach.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenge is my current post-graduate bout of unemployment. On May 11th, it will be one year since I graduated from the MBA Program at USC Marshall. I have been working part-time as an independent consultant to fill the gaps in my skills and provide bridge funding, but I have been struggling to land the permanent full-time role. I personally believe that the primary issue is landing the interviews. The current volume has been few and far between (1 every 6-8 weeks) - despite constantly cold calling, networking, and leveraging referrals. I'm having trouble consistently breaking through.
What do you want instead?While I am girdled by positive moral support from my friends, family, and girlfriend, this journey has still taken its toll. That toll is primarily psychological. I graduated with honors from a well-known MBA Program, completed a year-long internship (and then a brief consulting project) with Paramount Pictures, and yet I'm one of a handful of folks who still haven't found a full-time placement. I'm making enough to pay my bills, but not anywhere near what I need to achieve my financial goals. The fact that this has continued for this long has only further undermined my confidence and happiness.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would have an intellectually stimulating and challenging position in Entertainment Marketing, leveraging both my creative and analytical background to help sell story products to audiences who would appreciate them - all while earning a reasonable salary that would allow me to save for my financial goals.
What is causing you to seek help right now?On May 11th, it will have been a year since I graduated. It's time for a new approach.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I'm keen to work more, and gain further professional experience. I want to find new ways to make my abilities useful to people. Freelance or contract work are both desirable.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Earning a living as a writer and animator. Several years ago, I left my job in production to focus on writing and animating. I have had success in forming relationships with influential TV industry insiders, as well as developing creative content that has seen major network interest. I mentored under some very talented people, and honed a multitude of media skills from writing to animating to editing. My problem has been effectively monetizing my work. Much of it has taken place in development, outside of a paid environment. When it comes to job-hunting, a lack of professional experience is limiting my options.
What do you want instead?I am content in all those areas. I love to write, and have the ability to do so - maybe that is part of the problem! I am quite happy just to sit in my office and write, but I would like to get out there.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?More work, expanded network, further opportunities.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I grew up in London, UK (I am a US citizen, but I still have the accent). In the early days of my career in LA, I was not at all culturally assimilated, and struggled somewhat as a result.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?“A seat at the table” to grow and strengthen a company that already reflects a ethical and positive environment.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Current challenges are unorganized team management, planning project programs not allowing enough scheduled time to complete our milestones without proper executive review. Would like to make a change out of managing field work staff, and become a team member within company operations. I have a talent for process improvement, budget improvement, training staff for a cohesive and team work environment, and train and promote from within.
What do you want instead?No challenges at this time. My husband and I live a comfortable life, are active in the community, are part of a local CERT team, and we both mentor young people.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Relaxed, more focused, able to mentor others, offer ideas and concepts for improvements, and hopefully have a balanced work life
What is causing you to seek help right now?Resume, cover letter assistance due to lack of time to develop.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want greater financial stability, not to be worried about where I'll be in ten years.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?For 7 years, I've been performing stand up comedy, acting, and writing. The most difficult aspect is the lack of stability and constant hustle. While there have been high moments in my career, it can feel like I'm constantly restarting and figuring out what I'm going to do next. It just feels like I don't have the same motivation as I had when I first started.
What do you want instead?I don't feel financially secure and I'm constantly obsessing about where I am at in my career, how I compare to other people in my field. It doesn't feel healthy and has become draining.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'm not quite sure!
What is causing you to seek help right now?I don't know where to start! I know that I need a change but I need figuring out what that change looks like.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to walk into an interview and know that I have a the best value proposition to offer the company and my prospective bosses and have them know at the end of the interview that I am 100% the best candidate for the job.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am a recent MBA graduate and have spent the past 6 months submitting applications and taking interviews. For the third time in a row I have made it to the final round of interviews with a company that I would be excited to work for and for the third time in a row I was passed up for the opportunity. I need help to make it over the final hurdle and land a job.
What do you want instead?These challenges have started to make me feel frustrated.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I were happy in my career I would feel as though I could move on with my life and be ready for the next chapter. I would feel as though I would have a burden lifted from my shoulders of looking for and finding a good paying job at a company I like doing meaningful work.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am seeking a coach right now because I have failed three times in a row at landing a job with companies I would have been excited to work for after making it to the final rounds of interviews and I don't know why. I submit that I don't have all the answers and I feel as though it is time to seek help from a professional.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Happiness, financial security, consistency, creative challenges, PURPOSE and to be inspired again.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Finding a company/position that is interested in my vast and diverse creative experience, not turned off by it, I believe I'm getting looked over based on my age and experience (Ageism). I have applied to 60 or so creative positions in the last year that I feel I was qualified for with only 3 personal follow-ups. I also feel I'm being looked over based on my recent time (7 years) as being self-employed/freelancing... Also, every position I have help in the past was basically given to me based on personal recommendations/referrals, I have never really had to apply for jobs or really go through in-depth interview processes in the past I have recruited/headhunted.
What do you want instead?All of these: relationships, money, health, happiness, security... I feel I have no purpose or do not know what it is at this point in my life...
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Hopefully more fulfilling and inspiring. Bring back a sense of security for me and my wife.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm out of options and solutions. I've realized I need help.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to be in a position where I'm being paid my market value, where I'm leveraging my skill set to its fullest potential, where I'm being held accountable to perform at the highest possible level, and where I can support my family both in my income and in being able to find balance in my life for my work and my family.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest problem is that I'm in the career position I want but at a company where I am underpaid and struggling to square that with the value I know I can bring. I have been told by multiple people both internal and external to my company that believe I have a unique skill set and perspective (I've even had a few people tell me I should write a book), but I don't know how to articulate that value clearly to others without sitting down with them and talking it through. I feel very stuck and don't know how to move.
What do you want instead?Because I'm underpaid, I feel like I can support my family. I'm typically stressed and anxious about how to pay for bills and still have fun. I feel like that stress is affecting my wife and son. I know I'm not as happy as I could be. I also think it's been affecting my health negatively, especially in my eating habits and exercise habits.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd be energized by the work that I'm doing, excited to go to work, comfortable in my pay and not worrying about how much I'm making or whether I'm being paid fairly, and my wife and family would see me as happier, more active, and less worried about my work.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel very lost in where to start. I feel like I'm at a different level of my career than where I was before, and there seems to be this unwritten rule set that I don't really know and don't know how to work within. I feel like I could be better at developing a network and utilizing it to find new opportunities and also get a better sense of my marketable skills.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to work smarter and get to a place where I'm utilizing my skills, experience and global network - all the while still having quality time with my family and earning what i'm worth.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Up until 2 years ago I thought my career was really on the up - I was living in New Zealand, I had a profitable production company that was producing 4 or 5 shows a year, I was making good money doing exactly what I wanted - creating and selling shows. I was involved with every aspect of production and was a jack of all trades - my confidence was through the roof and things were amazing...however, there was a part of me that wished I could see family more and my wife and I decided to leave. My wife is from Ireland and she couldn't get into the USA straight away (because of the visa situation) so we moved to Ireland for awhile. It was a tough couple of years, we lived in the southern part of the country in Cork and I had to really hustle for work - the creative industry wasn't huge there so it wasn't easy to drum up work. We were considering settling down there but it was very frustrating and I wasn't that happy. In theory, things were going really well and I accomplished a lot in the time I spent there but I felt that I was busting my ass in another small market and at the end of the day, I realised that I was working hard but not smart so my wife and I then decided to move to LA. I moved over in October 2018 and my wife and kids officially moved here last month. Since being back in the US, I have been working consistently on two jobs back to back - both were jobs that were well under my skill level and I took the jobs because I needed proof of income to finalise my wife's visa. However, that has all gone been finalized and now, I'm feeling a bit frustrated working a job that I'm overqualified to do. Luckily it's contract and I'll be wrapped in June. However, I'm not feeling very inspired and I'm feeling a little burnt out. Working overseas gave me the opportunity to work and learn about every aspect of the industry overseas. This experience was incredible and invaluable. I can edit, produce and direct and have done so on multiple projects in both countries. This experience is my point of difference but I feel like I'm not capitalising on this at the moment. Most of the people I'm working with don't have my experience or my global network yet I'm earning considerably less than many of them. I think this is because I don't have the US experience, the US network of contacts nor the local credits to get the jobs I feel I'm qualified to do. So I'm a bit frustrated and I need help figuring out how I can best move forward. I'm also feeling like maybe I should refresh my goals.
What do you want instead?Moving country is expensive and I've done it twice in 2 years. This has really drained our resources and even more so, been very draining on my motivation. Now that I'm finally here and I have a really solid foundation for the family - I'm ready to really have a go at tackling LA. However, I'm starting to second guess the goals that I set out for myself. I've always wanted to direct scripted comedy/drama TV and film - however, since I've had kids - I feel like I need to change these goals. I'm torn because I still want to keep moving forward but at the same time, I want to spend more time with my kids. I know those two things are at odds with each other as this industry is very time consuming. I'm currently working two jobs and busting my ass to provide for my family but I'm not earning the money I feel I'm worth. The good thing is that my kids are happy, my wife is happy and we're all in good health. However, the money is the part of the equation that is not quite there - this causes a bit of stress lately because we've had a very difficult couple of years.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be working smarter and from anywhere in the world. Spending more time with my immediate family, spending more time with my extended family, giving back to those in need and making money doing what I love.
What is causing you to seek help right now?It's been awhile since I lived and worked in the US and I want to be super focused as to where I'm headed. I feel as though I'm starting all over again because I don't know that many people in LA so I feel like every time I meet someone new, I need to pin point accurate as to what I want. Right now, that is a little bit hazy for me. Also, I think that maybe, now is the time to revisit my goals and possibly pivot with the direction of my career.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a job I am passionate about and is relatively well-paid (this is difficult to find in this sector!!). I would prefer to work abroad (I previously worked in South Africa and Madagascar and I am a dual US Australian citizen) but at this point in my life I will take anything. I am VERY career driven so I need this to be a smart career move to put me on the right path. However, I really just want a job at the moment.

I think I need help making me stand out as a candidate. My ideal career is in international development. Please let me know if you have any expertise in this sector.
What do you want instead?It has been emotionally draining. My mental health has been affected.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I'm still in the process of trying to answer that question, but specific things I'm looking to enhance include the following: (1) Feeling a greater level of ownership over the work I do (as opposed to now where I'm working as a consultant and providing a relatively short term service( (2) A career that places significant emphasis on relationship-building and inter-personal skills, either in the form of leading a team or in working with others to make deals, develop business, etc.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?At this juncture I think the biggest challenge for me is finding a career path that I can feel a greater sense of passion for. To date, much of the work I've done has been great for building credentials and a strong well-rounded skill set but my goal is to move in a direction where I can apply those skills to something that offers a greater level of motivation beyond monetary compensation and prestige (while at the same time not meaningfully sacrificing long term earning potential).
What do you want instead?Thus far, the impact has not been meaningful, aside from not generally being overly happy with the day-to-day of my job.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Better, insofar as the time I'd be spending work (and I'm very willing to work very long hours) would be devoted to work that I'm more exciting by. Similarly, I'd experience less of that "Sunday scaries" effect where a significant part of Sunday ends up being tarnished by not looking forward to the week ahead.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Relocated to new city (LA, from DC) and actively looking for a new job, with goal of finding one in the next 4 months.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like to have opportunities show up in my life. I would like to know where to find them, and what I need to do to create them. I want to work for a company that is stable, provides a good income for me, values my work and contribution, and provides opportunities for me to grow and advance in my career.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My experience is in startups, small companies, and businesses I have created myself. It feels like I do not get taken seriously at larger, more established companies. It has been difficult for me to find opportunities. I am unsure of the effectiveness of the tools that I do have (resumes, cover letters, LinkedIn profile, website, portfolio, etc).
What do you want instead?I have a large amount of stress in the area of wealth, which leads to health issues. My income has been inconsistent at times, and the instability is stressful.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be excited and productive. I have always been a hard worker, and I am fulfilled when I feel like I am a valuable contribution to a company and team. I would have a positive flow in the area of wealth, allowing me to focus on other areas of life like health and vitality.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have been a job seeker many times in my life, and it is stressful for me. Not having a stable job or income brings up past feelings of frustration, fear, and poverty. I want to be powerful and successful and move forward, not reflect on the past and feel fear.

What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would not have to worry so much about money and I would like to go to work every day.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have trouble finding my place here in the US. I'm not sure for what kind of Job I should be looking for. It works very different here and I'm a little bit confused.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like guidance on what is the best decision for me at this point in my life.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Being decisive in which industry and career path I want to pursue.
What do you want instead?I pull myself in 10 different directions, rather than focusing all of my energy in the right place. This effects my money, health, and happiness.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be making a sufficent amount of money to easily pay off student debts, while working in a career path that will open doors for me when I decide I want to pursue future roles.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am limited by the amount of money I am able to spend on coaching. I know how important it is and I know it will benefit me greatly but I am saddled with an extremely high student loan monthly payment. For various reasons, my family and I are unable to refinance the loan payment, which leaves me financially limited. I am happy to go into more detail on this during our call.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a job that makes me happy to get up in the morning and go to. I want it to pay the bills, because there is no way getting around that. I want to use my skills and be interested in my job.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Finding a career that suits me and my needs.
What do you want instead?I'm in a job that I tolerate, not hate, not love. I don't make much. I have been stressed out trying to find a way forward (i.e. getting out of this job, finding a new career, etc.) and have come up short. I have little to no understanding of what exactly I should do career-wise.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd be happier and healthier.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've tried to career-counsel myself and have come up short. I need help because I want to venture out and explore other career paths, but am unsure how.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Not sure, I have been attending seminars, reading and writing books, looking to start a business, constantly listening to developmental books. I feel it in my gut, my time is almost here, just isn't happening as soon as I want it.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Rapidly leveling up to the next step in my career, for example: been an early careerist for over 2 years now, finished my MBA, looking for a managerial position, but have not been fortunate to land any big career executive positions. I would like to learn what areas I am lacking, in order to approve my set skills.
What do you want instead?All of the above, without my set career job, I am unable to take my relationship to the next level, which ultimately affects health and happiness. If I am able to overcome this challenge, everything will fall into place.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?To land my career job & to launch a business.
What is causing you to seek help right now?To view me from the other side, and give feedback to the changes I may be making, I feel like I'm stagnant, and I believe a coach will help me with stagnation.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to work in accounting, in a supportive, progressive environment of like-minded people who value communication, deadlines, consistency, and the quality work that the team does. I know I can't make up for the 7 years that I've been stuck in a department that hasn't promoted me, but I want to know how to speed up my growth and become a valued employee and leader. I think that, by addressing the above challenges, we can make this happen. Eventually, I want to have enough money to pursure another dream of mine to start a nonprofit to help underprivileged children.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?1) Starting on a completely different career path from the one I am in now. I currently work in Facilities, and have done so for about 7 years now. I have recently graduated with a degree in Accounting, and am sitting for the CPA exam this year. I feel like I can give an effective elevator pitch that would inspire confidence in potential employers, presenting my case into how my experiences and knowledge that I had developed while working in Facilities can translate into a career in Accounting. However, I think I need development in everything beyond that 30-second pitch: I don't know how to present myself in a resume or on LinkedIn, how to effectively network to get my foot in the door, etc. 2) Staying motivated to keep my current job while I work on bigger aspirations... I have been feeling completely undermined and undervalued this year. I think differently from the rest of the team, so they don't value my opinion or my way of thinking. Frankly, it makes me want to just quit on the spot and deal with whatever new obstacles that might come with it because I'm tired of feeling like that troubled, emotional ticking-timebomb of an employee. I know it's ego talking, but should I really feel so bad to want to keep my dignity and to be taken seriously?
What do you want instead?Stephanie Trkay, my girlfriend who you have been coaching, has been amazingly supportive through my developmental journey, but I know what it's like to have to listen to the day-to-day complaints about why work sucks, and not being able to help outside of just listening, because we were in each other's shoes not long ago. It eats at our personal time together. Like I had said, I have been studying for the CPA exam, however I get distracted with my emotions about my current job and how I've been getting treated. I've talked to my manager about certain issues, but he hasn't really changed things very much, despite putting up a facade of empathy and support. The first CPA exam is coming up and I don't feel as prepared as I was hoping to be, and I blame myself for, among other things, being distracted by the emotions that I feel about work. Like I've told Stephanie, I don't know what bothers me more: my situation at work, or being bothered by my situation at work. I used to diet and exercise regularly, too, but I've put exercise aside to study, and have just been POUNDING peanut m&m's and pizza, and I think it largely has to do with my feelings about work and the ever-mounting urgency to get out and do what I want with my life.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd be a valuable resource in the accounting field, managing and mentoring a team who respects me. I'd have the time and money to buy a house, travel, invest, and develop my non-profit.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Frustration and desperation. I've been a service-oriented person for most of my life, and I was hoping my personal struggles growing up would make me into a stronger person in character, but I present myself as a "yes" person, and at times I feel like I get easily intimidated. I know I'm better than that, and I'm sick of holding myself back from being the successful person I know I can be.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to have a clear and decisive vision for my future. I want to know what I want. I want financial security, some type of job that I love, one that involves helping others succeed. I want my puppy to figure out house training and quit stealing sox. I want to have a career that will allow me the time off to climb to base camp or something similar in the Himalayas (meaning life/work balance)
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Over the past ten years, I have been intermittently self employed. Originally, that option was chosen for me as I recovered from a bad accident that left me partially paralyzed on my left side. During recovery and rehabilitation , I started several companies that allowed me flexibility to recover while still supporting myself and my investments. Once recovered, I suffered more bad luck and was once again injured and lost the use of my legs for several months. Additionally, divorce, the death of my father and then my little brother and what may have been my life partner in the MH17 terrorist missile attack has been a journey I cannot begin to describe. To begin a new start, I moved countries but no longer have the network to get the work I once had or the desire to be intermittently unemployed. I am also challenged by the American work model. At a conference here in Vegas where Richard Branson spoke, he likens the American employment model to slave labour. I have a negative attitude toward corporate enterprise by having been harassed and bullied in the workplace. I need to change this attitude since I recognise it is a limiting belief that is preventing me to have a clear vision as to what I want to do next. I have plenty of marketable skills and years of experience that could benefit my employer and assist my employees to excel but I am struggle to articulate that.
What do you want instead?Being unemployed, I am depleting my savings and retirement. Due to the personal bad luck I have had, my intermittent work, my confidence has been compromised. My health is relatively good, surgery has made my injuries almost undetectable and I can walk, use my left arm etc. My mountain biking days are now limited to fire roads and less exciting trails . My relationship with my partner is good but I haven't really made many friends since moving back or done any networking to make friends or potential work contacts.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?It would feel as though I have good commerce with the world, that I am doing something of value to me, my family and to the people that I lead.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am stuck in figuring out what I want and how to articulate my value.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to have a job that pays just enough for me to feel comfortable, I got a number in my mind. And I want to be able to manage my own time and know how to balance with my personal life.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Income Time management Perfectionism
What do you want instead?My income (even when doing a job I love) is usually not enough to have a comfortable life. I tend to think about work all the time and lose focus on my relationships and personal life.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?As a morning person, I would wake up every morning feeling excited to start the day. I can either work in an office/ at home but I want to be able to choose the hours that fits my own energy level throughout the day. I would be able to learn new things everyday in a supportive environment. I would be able to come home and have time, energy left to make healthy dinner for me husband and I. My income would be enough for me to afford fitness membership, spa sessions and occasional vacations.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have been working in Vietnam for the past 4 years. My husband and I just moved to the US last year. He has a job already, but Im still waiting for my Employment Authorized Documents so that I can start working. I am also a multipotentalite, who is interested in a lot of things and I tried pretty much everything in Vietnam. In this big move of my life, and in such a different place here in LA, I do need to be coached about possible career path.

It is impacting my overall happiness as much of my satisfaction in life is goal oriented. I would like to evaluate my skill set against industry standards as it pertains to compensation.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Self fulfilling as opposed to others opinions or desires.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have been with this present company 18 years and in this field for over 30 years. I feel that I have done all I can here and see no further advancement.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a real job that I can grow into and learn, become an expert on it. I don't just want a job that gives me a paycheck at the end of the month.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I know that I want to go into the manufacturing field as an engineer, but I can't seem to find the right job opening in a new city that I'm moving to. I want to land the right entry-level job that exposes me to a production line, a hands-on approach to learning my future job.
What do you want instead?As I am moving to a new city without a job that I want or have, I will have to take a job that I'm over qualified for and do it for less money.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd be more motivated to stay at work for longer hours; if something arose that required my attention even after working 40 hrs I'd be more willing to stay late or come in to fix the problem. I'd also take more pride in my work, having more showmanship in what I present or deliver and willing to talk about my job outside of work.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm in a rut and I'm stuck. I've been applying to new jobs just like I did while going to college, but this time I'm not getting as many responses or any face-to-face interviews. Something about the way I'm going about seeking jobs and advovating for myself through cover letters and resumes isn't getting through to all these companies. I need to develop a new approach to finding a new job in this new city I'm moving to.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to find a ladder I can climb. I want to set an example for my young son to never settle for less than what he’s worth, even if the alternative feels too “hard”. I want to figure out how to navigate today’s job market. I want to capably sell myself to someone who will give me a chance instead of reducing me to a head at an expensive desk.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I’m currently in a position at a “flat organization”, and have exhausted my options for career advancement that wouldn’t involve moving to New York, or moving Heaven and Earth in Los Angeles, to stay with this company. With a decade’s worth of experience in the trenches, I feel I am now capable of leading, but am not sure if that’s how I would be truly fulfilled.
What do you want instead?My frustration at my current career inertia bleeds into my personal interactions. I’m mentally exhausted from working so hard just to be noticed, when I now know it won’t lead to a promotion.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My family and friends would have the real me back! I wouldn’t be burned out and distant all the time. I may even bother to pick up the phone once in a while.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I’m looking for a coach because I want to discover if I should stay in my current field, or find a new one better-suited to me. I also get easily dissuaded from job searching, so I need someone to keep me motivated who won’t go easy on me! I find LinkedIn intimidating, and as a result, have many “connections” on there, but nobody with whom I actually want to network. I also suspect that my resume and cover letters don’t present me as my best self.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I'd like to find an opportunity that brings the same level of excitement that I've had anytime we've started a new project, but at the same time allows me the balance to be at home with my family, not only when needed, but when wanted.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?As I approach 40 I find myself at a crossroads of continuing down the path of Home Warranty that I've been on for nearly 20 years, or start over. I would love to say I have a narrow focus on exactly what I'd like to do, but I don't. I think my greatest attribute is that I can parachute into nearly any organization and find ways to add value in risk management, efficiencies, cost savings, forecasting, etc... I have often thought of starting a consulting company, but I lack the connections and networking that is such a vital part. With that said, I'd love to be part of building something new, but I also wouldn't mind taking a managerial break and being a cog in a wheel somewhere and enjoying the perks that come along with just being an employee.
What do you want instead?I've too often sacrificed time at home, missed kid's activities, volunteering in a pursuit of building a bigger better career. I am not giving up on that pursuit, but I need more balance.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'm not sure. I've had points of career satisfaction, but my role has been stagnant for over a year, and now that my time with my current employer is coming to an end, I'd like to find a path that provides the balance I haven't had in the past.
What is causing you to seek help right now?As I approach 40 I find myself at a crossroads of continuing down the path of Home Warranty that I've been on for nearly 20 years, or start over. Part of me really wants to start over.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a job that makes use of my many talents and skills, pays me what I am worth (or at least much more than I make now), and affords me a work/life balance where I can nurture the important relationships in my life outside of work.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I feel stuck and directionless, unsure of my next step. I have explored a number of different careers in a number of different industries, and am essentially all out of ideas. I feel (and am told) that I have this untapped potential and am anxious to find the key that will crack my own code. However, in the absence of that, I will take a steady job that has consistent hours, and a better work/life balance than my current position of retail manager.
What do you want instead?These challenges impact me in a number of ways. I am definitely an under-earner, and while I am able to support myself, I know I could being doing much better financially. The inconsistent work hours have negatively affected both my health, and and my ability to maintain my relationships since my off days rarely coincide with those of my friends and family. Obviously, all of this also challenges my overall happiness.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I hope my life would feel more balanced and I would feel more fulfilled professionally and more available personally. I would feel confident that I was making the best use of my abilities, which would hopefully also align with making the greatest contribution to others (and not necessarily just my own bank account).
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am at a bit of a breaking point. I just recovered from a months-long illness brought on in part by the challenging hours and work schedule of my position, and am both weary and wary of getting sick again. Also, the company is undergoing some growing pains and is unable to train and retain managers at a pace that matches its growth rate. That is putting a lot of (unnecessary) stress on its current management staff. Finally, I just feel that I am capable of so much more.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I'm looking for a position that allows me to utilize the problem-solving, crisis-management skills I developed in those 10 years in management. I don't want to leap at the first offer, though. I want to find a place that's a good fit, professionally and personally. A place where, despite my age, I can still learn new skills and progress in my career.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I feel pigeon-holed into call centers, as that's where I spent 10 of the last 11 years of my professional life. I'm also over 40 and a woman.
What do you want instead?Money is at the top of the "impact" list. I've found work that allows me to work from home and spend more time with family but we're struggling to make ends meet with two salaries. I've also fallen into the biggest pitfall of working at home, too: I never see people. I miss the daily challenges that came with my former position and the feeling that I was contributing to something that had meaning.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I don't want to feel like a bad Internet meme of a worker lying in bed trying to psyche themselves up for work. There were points in my previous position where I thrived on being in the office and engaging with employees and clients - even on days when nothing went right and clients and company execs were demanding solutions. I want that back.
What is causing you to seek help right now?There are positions and companies out there that seem like a great fit, but I've not received callbacks. I'm missing the right resume and skills to stand out.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I speak 5 languages and intend to learn more. I have lived and worked on three continents (North America, South America, and Europe). In a world dominated by men, I want a seat at the table to help create powerful change.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Understanding the value of my non-traditional career path. I understand my personal strengths but not how to effectively brand them and market them.
What do you want instead?I am unable to be a real "game changer" at a global level and this frustrates me.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My career is my life -- in the best possible sense! I would travel more, meet more people, and help them meet the people they need to help meet their goals (personal, professional, philanthropic).
What is causing you to seek help right now?LinkedIn ProFinder sent me an email about coaching. I answered a few questions and then heard from you.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?To be happier in what I do. To feel like I have a pupose, calling, that brings out the best in what I do - bringing out the best in people. There's a euphoric rush I get when I made a difference (a human element) for someone in a greater need than me. This goes back to the reasons why I was a pre-med student, interned as a college counselor, coach youth sports and particpated as a summer camp counselor. Results from conducting exercises from "What Color is Your Parachute - The signs were always there. So here I am, taking the first serious step to explore if this is for me.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Passion, which has resulted in me assuming the role as an imposter. Although I consider my past colorful, and financially successful, I seldom had that "fire in the belly" energy to get up before the alarm everyday. Over a 32 year career, I've woven a web around what I have succeed at, with my inner happiness slowly falling off the radar. To start over was my greatest fear from a financial perspective.
What do you want instead?Motivation to be me. This has also carried over into all aspects in my life. Unhappily succeeded financially, but failed miserably with my emotionable state of mind.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Eliminating the time spent hiding what isn't making me whole, knowing what does. Getting up before the alarm every morning. Needless to say, having gratification in what you do spills over to every aspect of my life.
What is causing you to seek help right now?At 62, recently unemployed contemplating whether I should continue to "fake it" until I retire or explore what really motivates me to be happier. Having analyzed my past, the common denomitor is mentoring and coaching both professionally and personally. which leads me to writing you. Of all the roles I've had, the human element of those I've managed seemed to be the most impotant to me - and them.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?A job/career which makes me happy and fulfilled. Working with great people and a comfortable salary. Room for advancement. Good company culture and ethics. Work life balance.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Pending layoff, obtaining higher salary, over 50, have been away from practicing law which has been an impediment to going back in house and haven't been able to find a business position which has equal or better pay and satisfaction.
What do you want instead?Increased stress, tight financially, developed carpal tunnel and fibromyalgia.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to get past my negative associations with working - I want to feel in control of my time and my life. I want to make some decent money so I can pay off my debts, invest in my future and feel free. I want to be part of a workplace that challenges me, supports me, and gives me opportunities to learn new skills.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Lack of confidence. I'm not a 'morning' person. I don't know where I fit in my profession. I lack certain credentials that seem to be very important. I have a pretty negative outlook on the job search process - aside from dating there's nothing I enjoy less. I lack the ability ask for what I know I can make (monetarily.) I fear the peripheral consequences of having a job: early start times, the commute, office politics, dress codes, and having no life outside of work. I'm afraid of having another 'toxic' boss or workplace.
What do you want instead?Some of the jobs I've had left me with no time to live my life. I resent that most of my waking hours are dedicated to working, getting ready for work, or commuting to/from work and I feel trapped. I've stayed in jobs that made me miserable for years because I hate looking for a job just a little bit more. My social life has been impacted by this lack of time or the exhaustion that follows it. My lack of confidence is ruining me - I am starting to have money problems as I have not been fully employed for about a year now. I am depressed and fearful of losing everything I've worked for over the years.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would feel more secure and capable of living a good life. I'd know I had a place in the world. There would be progress and hope again.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm running out of time/money - I need to get busy with my job search ASAP!

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to either start my own business, possible E-commerce or something relatable. I'm open to a telecommuting job, sports, or social media marketing as well. I still want to pursue my acting career and make good money using my degree instead of freelancing. I am also currently taking real estate classes online. I really need help being pointed in the right direction in order to get me to the next step in my career.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am an actor living in Los Angeles with a bachelor's degree in communications. I was freelance working with uber, lyft, amazon driver, and other odd jobs for a long period of time. I don't want to work those jobs anymore and I am looking for a telecommuting job, starting my own business, social media marketing, sports, or any other type of entertainment related job opportunity. I am trying to get to the next level in my career and I am over doing all of these freelance jobs.
What do you want instead?I am over working my freelance jobs, they mare making me unhappy, and I feel like it's time to have a mentor point me in the right direction using my skills.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?It would be less stress and more financial freedom. I would do more things for myself and try to see what else I can accomplish.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I want to get to the next level in my career and do something new.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to refocus and re-do a good strategy on my job and career search. And perhaps, it might be time for a career change. I feel like I am throwing darts at all different directions with no real good strategy ahead. Aside my skills in languages and people, I am also a natural visual artist(I do photography and videography as a hobby).
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Uncertainty. I am at a crossroads where I am not sure if my "job search" strategy is working. After studying International business and development in Undergrad(UCLA) grad school(Gerogetown University - Washington DC) and returning to LA(during to illness) - I am having a difficult time marketing myself for a job here. I think at times I may be aiming too high, or I might be too picky with the jobs, or I am not trying hard enough. In a nutshell, I think I am not positioning myself well in the job market to be more "desirable" and "hirable". For most of my life I "seem" to be very clear on what I want in my career and feel like I know where I am going, but over the past few years I am really unsure and a bit lost.
What do you want instead?I feel that I have slowly lost my "career trajectory and purpose" over the few years. After having unsuccessful attempts at trying to get work here in Los Angeles, I haven't really had a "solid" job and I have just been contracting here and there. This affects my happiness a lot, as I attribute my career a lot as my "core drive and identity". My family is constantly asking me about what's going on with me and what is my next move. They use to always see me as the child they are proud of and now they don't know what to do. And I am embarrassed to speak to them. Also, take note these my parents are 1st generation immigrant parents that expect a lot from me and help provide for them. This affects my relationship with my family and peers because I am embarrassed. My health is alright but I have a lot of anxiety with this.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I am happy in my career, I would be happy to go to work everyday. Work would be joyful and I would get have a great team to work with and make an impact with the work I do and make a difference in my life an others. I would also not have to strain for money, be able to pay my bills and debts, and also have a cushion to enjoy the simple things in life and move forward and grow with my future.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I need a master(like you you and a mentor to help guide me. I clearly don't really know what I am doing and the longer I wait this out, the more lost I am. I need an expert to help guide me. Time is ticking and I can't keep doing what I have been doing over the past few years anymore. Time is of the essence.

Just a bit of my background. I was born and raised in Malaysia and I came to Los Angeles at 13 years old and went to high school here. I then went to UCLA and studied International Development Studies, worked at an advocacy group here in Los Angeles. My goal then was to work in International relations or international business(I speak Chinese, Spanish and several other languages). I then went to Georgetown University School of Foreign Service for my Masters in hopes of working with the State Department and MAYBE becoming a diplomat with US-Asia relations. However I didn't finish school due to illness and left after my first year. After my first year, I worked a bit with the United Nations Development Program and Fiji, after that gig I realize I couldn't return to school due to my illness getting worse, so I didn't return back to grad school(it's also too expensive).

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like to be in a career field where I have the potential to grow and move up in the IT field. Whether as a manager of IT or working the grunt work of IT but in higher areas, like networking or Tier 3 support.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My current career is not in an area I would like to be in. IE living in the desert is not something my family would like to be in anymore. I am looking to change my career, and not having had an interview in 12 years is a little bit daunting. I would like coaching for the interview, how to 'sell' myself well to an employer. A big challenge in my career is working with volunteers and their schedules. They aren't able to come in at all times and sometimes finding enough volunteers to support the day to day operation is challenging.
What do you want instead?My family is affected, I have to spend more time at work for the events that are not able to be covered by the volunteers.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Both my wife and I would feel comfortable in the career that I am in, financially and known expectations of work time.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Mainly getting out of the desert where we live and move to Washington Seattle/Tacoma area.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a (relatively) stable job where I can learn and get mentorship from more experienced people who genuinely care about me and my professional development. I’d like to feel like I’m contributing to a meaningful goal in a positive fashion. I’d like to be more confident and better at networking. I’m not afraid of hard work, but I don’t want to feel like I’m working hard just for the sake of working hard.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?If I had to boil it down to a top four: - I don’t know what I want to do long-term as a career - I don’t feel that my current resume/experience lines up well with most jobs on the market. I don’t know what I am or am not qualified for. - I am not learning a lot in my current job and I don’t believe that the company I am at will succeed (in fact, I’m relatively sure it will fail) - I am change/risk averse and the idea of change causes more stress and anxiety for me than for the average human.
What do you want instead?There’s some added stress that stems from these issues. My significant other and close friends see that I would be happier with a different job, but don’t quite know how to help me (and I am quite resistant to being helped).
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I think the big difference would be that I’d have a job that I was excited to go to every day. Hopefully the people around me would bolster my confidence and help me be a better employee/engineer/coworker. I wouldn’t be working crazy long hours (9-10 hours a day at work is realistically my productive limit), and I would continue to maintain the friendships and activities that I currently do in my spare time (I love to travel, try to go to the gym regularly, and spend most weekends with my boyfriend).
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel like I’ve been trying to navigate the process of finding a new job for several months now (probably 6 months total, of which the past 2 have been active) and I’ve struggled through the whole process (no interviews and still no real clue about what I want to do with my future). I feel like some of the uncertainty comes from never having been through this process before and I am hopeful that professional help can expedite the process of finding a new role.

What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Better than it is now
What is causing you to seek help right now?Relocating back East. It's time to figure things out so I can make a fresh start. I've just turned 54. Time is running out

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I need a job that aligns with my spiritual beliefs. I have tried so many self help, programs etc. I know I have a gift and i just want to use it to help serve others.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Determining my true purpose here on this planet and how I can best help.
What do you want instead?In 2007 after working the same job for 12 years, and being married for 10 years, I was not happy. So I changed jobs and moved around for a year and landed a similar job that I had before but with a new company. Then I decided it was time for a divorce. I need to find what was missing in my life and couldn't do it with my wife. I worked that job for 6 years and was successful but knew this wasn't my passion. In May 2015, I quit and traveled for 9 months trying to find my passion. While traveling I ran into a manager at my old company and she hired me back. So I have been at this job now for 4 years and I want out. I still have no clue what my purpose is.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My life would be even more amazing. I would be making great money doing what I love with purpose and passion.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have tried everything on my own. I understand that we need each other and we aren't supposed to do it all on our own. I need help and I feel like am ready for it.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to transition to a position in a different industry I'm interested in, and where I can also use my existing skills and experience (not to start from entry-level).
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenge has been me trying to figure out a career I'm passionate about. I can always do the job, but I want to do it and enjoy it at same time.
What do you want instead?So I always ended up settling, for the money, for the time being, thus me not feeling fulfilled at the job.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I believe everything in life is powered by joy. A career that brings me joy will motivate me even more to keep moving forward. And that will bring more positive outcomes in life, fulfillment, self-satisfaction, more money..of course:)
What is causing you to seek help right now?Because I finally discovered the strength within me to end the "settling". And I'm ready to make the shift.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I do not understand very well of this question. I just want to see I can grow in my professional knowledge and to have a better living than now. I am not seeking high paid or high fly career. I am happy with my current job. But I know my current knowledge, if keep staying, cannot grow.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I was an adult student when I entered college. This was because I was an immigrant who wanted to change a new career. Also, I was unemployed at that time. Under those circumstances, I decided the shift at my middle age. Fortunately, I could get my accounting job and passed my CPA exam. I want to seek a job that have a CPA supervisor to certify my experience for license. But I have only private industry experience and age is a factor. It seems CPA firms rarely take me for interview. For private industry that has CPA, they are probably quite big and difficult to get into...
What do you want instead?I want to change a job to learn more in my profession. Plus, a CPA post can offer me more money. At least, I can considering buying a condo now. Also, I passed my CPA exam and finish all required classes, I just need a chance. If I do not have it, I would not die...but it seems a regret for me. Being a middle age, I have aged parent. I want to have more money to meet my parent medical bills in the near future...
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I think I can have more money to visit my dad more. Bring him to travel more...maybe spend more time on social network..
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have tried to change job for some time. Although coaching is not a grantee, need to have a try.

I started a company and have been noodling on my product, and am torn between cash flow and going "all-in."

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?To truly understand the value of my skills, and the job environment/climate that best suits my needs.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I don't have a specialty so I don't feel very valuable despite always being handed more and more responsibility. I often find myself taking on projects/tasks I've never done before and have been using them as my career stepping stones, but I would like to be more proactive about my career moves. I need to further develop being confrontational and communicating project needs/deadlines to the many personalities on my team.
What do you want instead?My relationships, health, and overall life happiness are satisfactory, but could all benefit from a newfound sense of peace with my direction and career goals.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?A more respectful workplace, guidance on how to handle situations with dismissive peers when title/responsibilities shift depending on the scenario (i.e. meeting or decision making=not my call / it's broken=how do we make sure this doesn't happen again).
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Full disclosure I'm working on starting my own company and pursuing a CFA. I have a super hard time evaluating roles and expectations of that role, thus far I have been fortunate to find well paying roles that offer me the option to work from home. The possibility that I'm overestimating my capabilities when looking at new jobs makes it difficult to want to spend the time and effort that those jobs require in terms of the application and hiring process. Evaluating a path toward more impactful roles, as it stands I'm basically making decisions for my boss without an increase in seniority/title that I would have elsewhere this adds a lot of pressure to working with largely change resistant coworkers.
What do you want instead?I don't need a dream job but there are imbalances of respect I almost always have to explain how to fix something but I'm not treated with the same respect when it comes to making decisions amongst peers. On the flip side there have been times when no one else has the will or know how to contribute a meaningful solution and in those instances I'm called on by my superior to provide the solution. This is okay and I'm happy to do it but I would really like help finding a more charitable and respectful company, I often give the benefit of the doubt to others and this isn't usually reciprocated which is unfortunate given that it nearly outweighs the flexibility it provides.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I wouldn't feel like work is an uphill battle against change resistant individuals or if it was an uphill battle it is because this was the task given to me and there is an adequate level of respect and support from the organization to accomplish this. I would have a role where there is a baseline level at a human level and peers who are self aware enough to understand that the ideas I contribute are not mine but best practices I'm aware of given the situation or problem. Be able to clearly express to others the fact that the ideas I contribute are not mine but best practices I'm aware of given the situation or problem. I would still be able to work remotely and do this.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I need an outside perspective to reign in expectations where it makes sense and I know I would have a bigger impact in a more senior role and there is a bit of me that feels like I'm wasting more energy than necessary trying to do the right thing without the support of my organization.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to find a career that uses my strengths and I enjoy more. I realize there will be some portions of the job I may not love but just want something that energizes me a bit more every morning. Also that provides opportunity for growth & stability. And a position that meets my financial goals and provides work life balance.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Finding a career that I feel I excel at and enjoy. Currently I am in sales. I believe I do a decent job of managing my current accounts but I have been struggling to expand to new customers. I lack the confidence and drive to be a strong salesman. Overtime the inability to find new customers has demotivated me and leaves me unsatisfied. Also the average pay and the poor commission program don't motivate me.
What do you want instead?I really notice my unhappiness about my position when people ask me what I do. I struggle to answer the question b/c I am a bit embarrassed Also I worry about the long term growth opportunity from a career & money perspective at my current company. I would definitely like to make more to achieve some personal goals. As far as happiness I just wish had a role that I was able to show some more of strengths & bring more value.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I believe I would have a more positive energy. At times I can tend to me negative outside of work. I would also think I would work harder in the role and take more pride. If I felt I was providing more true value you to the team and in return being compensated I definitely believe I would work harder and be happier. Also energize me to do more activities outside of work.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I want to find a career calling that matches my skill set, passion, & personal goals. I have worked in customer service, accounting, & sales roles and yet to find a position that I felt I want to work for the rest of my career.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have been working in a career that I no longer enjoy (for the most part) and one that I haven't done well in, feel like I've burned too many bridges in and haven't succeeded in. when given opportunities.
What do you want instead?These challenges have destroyed relationships, left me feeling miserable and unhappy, and have caused me to let go of a healthier lifestyle.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd be able to focus on other aspects of my life like building a family.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I moved to the West coast last year in hopes of changing my career on my own. I didn't succeed and ended up taking a job doing what I've always done, only to get laid off after 2 months because of a client loss. Now I am desperate to find another job while moving towards my long term goals,

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I'm not sure yet. I have a lot of varying interests - media, sports partnerships/marketing, leadership training, etc.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Oh where to start? First and foremost, I don't know what I want to do. I know that the path I'm on doesn't feel right, but I keep getting sucked in. I also desperately want to be a leader, a contributor and make a big impact to a team/company yet have been frustrated by my level and inability to rise in the ranks quicker than I have.
What do you want instead?These challenges definitely impact my happiness. I know LA isn't for me, but am having a hard time knowing what to do next and where to go. I also don't want to start at the bottom again, so am feeling extra pressure to find the perfect role.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I think everything else would sort of start to fall into place - a relationship, my sense of community and the general feeling that I have a purpose/goal and am pursuing it.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am feeling lost and know that I need to do some real introspection. I'm ready to make the move to leave LA and start something new, but want to make sure I land in a role that is right, not just the first thing that sounds good.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Harmony in my career pursuits with family (current & fianceé) interests for a.) the next 3-5 years and then heading into a semi-retirement period.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I've made some deliberate decisions since ~2010 to back-off on my career goals to re-balance and fulfill responsibilities to my family. I'm now in a position to refocus on my career develpment.
What do you want instead?Challenge to find "the next thing" has taken longer since 2014 than expected impacting my current job satisfaction, feeling unfulfilled (i.e., not loving up to my own professional expectations), and a lot of lost time searching for the next job at the cost of other aspects of personal life.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Significant achievements in a growth-stage healthcare/technology company, being reasonably compensated, feeling like I was making a unique contribution, and learning.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel that I'm "stuck" in my current search process. Despite a focused & deliberate plan to date, I feel that I need an objective, 3rd party insights to help identifty potential paths forward.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Always having been an entrepreneur, I feel it's time to move into providing value in a job environment. With no experience in professional job hunting skills, I'm looking for a senior level executive to help coach me on this journey.
What do you want instead?It adds some tension in my relationship with my wife, although she's very supportive. We are in this together. Monetarily, we have pulled back on spending to make it through. Health-wise, I take time to exercise everyday to keep my mind fresh and drain any stress. NOTE: I've worked out consistently since my mid-20's so it keeps me youthful and in very good health. We are strong Christians so it helps us stay positive and believing God will bless us through this.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I do not want to do bench science (experiments) anymore, but I could see myself doing something science related like regulatory affairs instead. I want to work at a mid-size to large company, not a start up or anything very small (because that's what my husband does, and one of us should have more stability.)
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I'm graduating with my PhD in chemistry in two weeks, but I do not want to continue in research science. I haven't looked around as much as I should, because I've been focused on graduating, so I'm not entirely sure what else is out there that I would be qualified for and enjoy doing. I am also not very good at talking to new people, or talking about myself, so my advisor is worried that I won't do well in interviews.
What do you want instead?I could have graduated sooner if I had gotten a job, but because I don't know what to do, I didn't really look. As a result, I have been the only person in my research group since last July when the last postdoc left. I do like to be around people, when I know them, so it's been strange basically being alone at work.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?The past year has been very stressful, with graduation coming up, my wedding last June, and trying to decide what to do after school. Once I have a real job, I think a lot of that stress will go away. Obviously there will still be some, but I think it will feel like life is finally starting - everything up until now has been temporary. If I can find a career that I'm happy with, that would make my entire life feel more stable.
What is causing you to seek help right now?My advisor recommended that I find a coach to help with interview skills. He has an excellent network, and can get me introductions, but he's worried that I won't do well when I actually meet people.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Land a rewarding HR role that is challenging yet doable given my knowledge, skills and abilities and that allows me to have the work-life balance to pursue any other needs and dreams in life.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am currently unemployed following being terminated from a Director of Operations role. The fit wasn't right. I just became SHRM-SCP certified and am now looking for the right fit. Balancing income opportunities and needing to have financial stability versus finding the right role for me has been challenging.
What do you want instead?These challenges make it hard for me to move my life forward at the pace that I am ready to. I want to start a family, buy a home, etc. and everything is somewhat on hold.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would spend 40-50 hours a week on my career and make a difference for the organization in that time in a focused way to be able to have the time to rest, recuperate and enjoy my family and other interests.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am unemployed and even though I have several opportunities on the table, I have some anxiety that the positions won't be offered to me or I won't make the right selection. I have some lack of confidence about ability to perform in a new role given how challenging adapting to and succeeding in new roles can be.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I'd like to take advantage of the fact that the 2020 primaries will focus on California to get involved in a campaign for one of the candidates I believe in. I have an MA in political science, I'm fully bilingual in Spanish, and I have experience canvassing and door-knocking. I'm also a strong writer and I could see myself doing impactful work in communications or online presence.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I've been successful in my current career. I just don't feel like I'm using my talents fully to help the world. Basically I'd like to transition from my current career as an educator and administrator to a full-time career in politics. I'd like to work on campaigns advancing progressive political causes.
What do you want instead?I probably have the opposite problem to many of your clients - my career and finances are fine. If anything, the problem will be maintaining quality of life for my family while transitioning to a different career. My other issue is that I'm too busy in my current career to spend the necessary time networking and job-searching to build the career I'd like to transition towards.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd feel that I'm helping to create a better world.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've recently had some conversations with friends that have helped me crystalize my vision.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I've been a student for 7 years and I'm addicted to learning but is time to start creating. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to study for so long and I will definetely keep studying my whole life to keep evolving. But I need to start experiencing the practical engineering world which I know will lead me to life purpose.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My challenge at this moment in my career is that I've been a fulltime, unemployed grad student for the past 2 years, and now I'm ready to find a job in this competitive field. My challenges are that my job experiences come from my country Venezuela, that I've been applying for jobs with a resume created by my criteria not the system's criteria, I'm not too familiarized in how to make my resume stand out and I need to start putting my big passion and talent into use asap. I'm currently doing a volunteering internship on my field so I can add more experience from here. I know what I want but in a broad way, my passions exceed the limitations of choosing just one but a professional guide could help visiolizing my ideas and putting my talents into use without having to limit myself.
What do you want instead?Being unemployed for 2 years has been limiting and not free. It has affected me in many ways but it's caused a lot of learning experiences and growth. I'm very confident but sometimes insecure and shy depending on the case.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?When I get a job within the choices I have in my field, I would be happy to see how I can develop my creativity in solving problems. I would learn more about how to use my talents thus devoloping my brand. I would have more freedom, confidence and on the path of my life purpose.
What is causing you to seek help right now?The cause for me to seek coaching is because I need a step up. Usally I like to do things on my own but I feel the right help would be good. I'm seeking new approaches in my life and help would be very much appreciated.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Desperate to get employment, and in a way up for anything, I am hardworking, but ideally I obviously want to find a position where I can be happy and able to earn a living for family. Finding the right level with responsibility and challenging enough, but not too high pressure role so I am able to keep a decent life/work balance. Too old to be looking at making a career. Tired of proving myself for new employers and in a way I wish to find a company where I could stay (progress and develop) until retirement. However that viewpoint might change once back in business and gaining some confidence again.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am Swedish, living in LA since 3 years ago as my wife is from here. Have received green card/permanent resident. Have had a few projects ongoing and have been home taking care of household and our son while wife has been working. Was hoping to be able to get some business going on my own. Not yet managed to find a permanent position matching my background and experience. I basically have no contact network, almost all of my previous positions were pursued through contacts and recommendations. My prior field of Business was Online Gambling during 10 years, which is not present here due to current legislation. I am struggling to find appropriate and exciting positions to apply for, where I also would be perceived as a potential candidate by recruiter. My CV probably needs to be adapted to a Resume.
What do you want instead?Strain on relationship, low self esteem, not settling in new home country, and financial hardship, especially since my wife now is without job as well.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Happy, feeling at home, satisfying and fulfilling, more confidence.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Two projects/possibilities which have been ongoing last 6 months ends up leading to no employment or contract with compensation. At the same time my wife lost her job which makes it even more urgent to get to work, and therefore feel the need to break the pattern, get some support, help and inspiration.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?My next move will undoubtedly be with a company that allows for runway and innovative thinking. I like being in team environment, collaborating, but in a relatively independent role. I've been yearning to have total control of my success or failure, instead of having to rely on others to contribute, as that hasn't boded so well for me thus far. As cliche as it sounds, I want to wake up excited to go to (or stay at home to!) work. Looking for someone to give me tools, advice, a kick in the butt... whatever it is... so that I can determine what that ideal career path is and how I can strategically get there.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Being that I am highly motivated by the ability to effect change and think differently, I am struggling with the inflexible culture of my current organization. There is also a lack of accountability and ownership that I find infuriating. My days are emotionally draining, mostly fighting internal battles, and getting myself worked up about them, instead of being able to focus on the aspects of the job in which I excel in and enjoy. I love relationship building, problem solving and selling. As a result, I haven't found the drive to truly seek out learning opportunities during my "off" time. I don't know that this career path, however lucrative, will be fulfilling for me. This position is the longest one I've held, as I've been promoted quickly in all previous jobs. I'm not sure if it's truly time to move on or if I'm just not used to the consistency of being in one role this long. It's also a bit troubling to me that I have no aspirations for promotion in my current position, but rather I only consider total deviations when contemplating my next step.
What do you want instead?My frustrations at work often carry over into my personal life; I'm edgier and tend to become frustrated easily when I'm experiencing challenges at work. I used to enjoy talking about my job but I find that I'm increasingly less willing to talk about it with others because it sours my mood. I do, though, still LOVE talking about others' careers and helping them work through their problems.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?AWESOME.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Went through therapy in the last year, triggered by a few concurrent life events. And I've never felt better. I realized recently that what I was bringing up in therapy was primarily work related. Her experience in psychology is vast, but her experience in business is not. So looking for a coach that has that aptitude.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Would love to find a non-entertainment related job that leverages my international marketing experience. I'd like to either set-up a company's international department, establish a set of processes for a global marketing team, or be an international leader for a company looking to grow share internationally. And, ideally, in an environment where collaboration and teamwork is a genuine part of the culture and not just HR speak. RE industries: Music is a passion of mine (musician, guitar, drums), as is fitness (triathlon).
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?-17 years in at Studios, WB and Fox. Burned out and quit (on good terms). -Consulting for 3 years. Tough to get good clients, no stable revenue, frustrated knowing I can be doing so much more! -So, need to get back into the workforce but don't want to work at a studio and struggling to craft a compelling narrative for myself using my past experience as a platform for a new start.
What do you want instead?Honestly, I'm spiritually happy. Really helps that I'm not grinding away at the studio and for unkind people with a soul-crushing commute layered on top. But, my wife is not happy with the progress of consulting $, and neither am I. If I'm honest, over 3 years I didn't have what it takes to get clients to sign on to my marketing consulting business. I need to make more $ as kids are headed to college soon.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Better life at home. Better outlook on life.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Stability, a good career, good income, pride, involvement in a company. Entrepreneurial spirit, creativity, impact on the world and on my company/career. A feeling that my kids will grow up safe, happy, not worried about finances.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?1. My seniority (and age); 2. I have an SVP title from GRB (which is a failing company) and a VP from Playboy (I have now renamed it PBTV LLC or Alta Loma since those were our production entities); 3. I have moved jobs; 4. I was in unscripted cable which is basically a dead/dying industry. I have also done some digital and scripted and are trying to invent myself. I am a single mother, head of household, and need to make money! I have an Ivy education and should be in a better place!
What do you want instead?Weighing me down. I should be making at least $250,000 to $350,000k and last year was turning down things for $150k to $160k; now I'd be delighted to have those!!
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd be a better parent, could start a romantic relationship. I'd have money for my kids' college and my retirement. I could buy a house.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Dead ends. I interview every week. I think people think I'm too senior, not the right experience, too much experience... not sure. I really need to be seen by more people (Linkedin, in person). I usually bomb FaceTime interviews (HATE THOSE) - probably they know how old I am then. Need to just have emails/calls and then in-person interviews. I am better in person. Fine on Google hangouts (for some reason people look better there than on FaceTime!)

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want someone to give me a ...sort of a prescription. Tell me exactly what I need to do, and how. Looking for a suitable career coach, who knows exactly what typical Silicon Valley recruiters look for in a candidate. Also, enhance, polish my profile. Prepare a resume that can crack any ATS thrown at it. A LinkedIn profile that would make a recruited want to connect with me.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Finding my "big break". I need someone to take a chance on me. A first job. An opportunity to prove my talent and also to learn. Applied to quite a few companies with no luck. I realized that something(s) needs to change. And I don't know what that is.
What do you want instead?While my personal relations aren't being affected, I sure am building a network. Which is actually a good thing. I am making a conscious effort to network. Financially, I am in a very bad spot. Mounting student loans, rent payments, etc. and not knowing when it is going to end, hurts. This has also taken a big toll on my health and happiness. I used to be very health conscious, and active. Now, I don't even feel like working out, food tastes like paper. Can't even remember the last time I had a happy weekend.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Aah...the monotonous, stable life, having control (although that is never true). While it's good to have ups and downs, having a stable and happy career is pure bliss. Would probably sleep like a baby, and wake up not being tired.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I need a "big break" ASAP. Time is running out for me. As an international student, it is critical that I find an internship soon.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to work in an environment where my character and contributions are impactful and valued. I want a role with some flexibility or that is possibly not full time so that I am able to carve out time for some personal projects and priorities.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Defining my path forward. I am clear on what I do well, and what I value in a workplace, but am struggling to translate this into concrete next steps.
What do you want instead?Currently, I am unhappy in my work environment and this is impacting my happiness. Lacking an actionable plan for making a change is distressing.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?It would be pretty great, honestly. I am incredibly fortunate and privileged and currently my work situation is the only consistent source of frustration and dissatisfaction in my life.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am ready to take the next step in my career and make a change. But I recognize that I need help in order to make a positive change, rather than just making a lateral move.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?In many ways I identify with your story, without having had the NDE. I have an undergraduate degree in engineering from MIT an a MBA from SDA Bocconi in Milan. I have also lived and worked abroad for 10 years. I am seriously thinking that its time to break with the same old same old, and do something that I view as more meaningful (possibly coaching) and will give me much more satisfaction on the job front. You can learn more about my job history here - https://www.linkedin.com/in/richardbabboni/
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Laid off almost a year ago. Have not had any success finding a new senior exec position in LA - president, COO, GM... in line with my past experience. Do not have an extensive network here (living in LA only since Jan 2015). 57 years old, but not clear on what I really want to do next.
What do you want instead?Have enjoyed having some time off after working a job that required me to be all in, and not take much vacation. Health is good, relationships are solid, and overall level of happiness is good as well. Money is clearly a concern now that severance coverage has finished.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?great! it's been the one area where I have not found true fulfillment. I would like to create a truly balance life and feel empowered and successful in all seven areas (John DeMartini) of life - Our mental genius/creativity; Our vocational success, achievement, service; Our financial freedom/independence; Our family love and intimacy and continuance of procreation; Our social influence and leadership; and Our physical health, stamina, strength and well-being
What is causing you to seek help right now?It's almost a year since I was laid off. While I enjoyed having the time to exercise, travel, and work on raising my level of consciousness, I need to get back to generating some income as well.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Being a new actor in LA who isn't 20 years old! Self-doubt, career anxiety.
What do you want instead?It affects my relationships with my boyfriend (overachiever) and family (all overachievers). I'm exhausted by always hustling to work survival jobs I don't enjoy; no time to pursue a career that I *think* I want to pursue.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd feel more confident; probably be a better partner. I'd be excited about going to work or pursuing my career every day. Right now I dread the acting career and all the day jobs.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm tired of being depressed about my career. I've felt like this for so many years and can't find the motivation to do what I need to do; always questioning what I'm doing and why. I didn't move to LA to be a waitress!

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Ideally I want to have my own business. I have attempted this in the past a few times, but did not have the experience or the finances to do it properly and with confidence. I feel like I am in a much better place now to attempt it again, but I usually end up getting in my own way...always thinking of failure and everything that can go wrong because I've seen so many other fashion companies fail (and have worked at quite a few of them). I am a creative/artistic introvert and I work better alone, so I think that's why I will probably never be happy in a conventional corporate/office environment. I know I have the skills and experience to be a successful entrepreneur, but I do need more guidance.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Finding a company that I am happy at in my industry (fashion). I actually love my job, but I find it hard to deal with the people and the politics everywhere I work.
What do you want instead?Currently I am having a lot of friction with my boss, and it is affecting my quality of life quite a bit. This is because I have helped him build his business from nothing 6 years ago to where it is now (20+ mil) and feel incredibly undervalued and overworked. I feel like I have no voice anymore and that my input doesn't matter, even though I have the most well-rounded experience in the industry compared to my coworkers and my boss. He is constantly making bad decisions that I openly disagree with, only for me to end up being right in the end (after a lot of time, energy and money has been wasted). It is extremely frustrating and seems to be getting worse and worse.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I were happy in my career, I would not be so stressed out all the time and taking my frustrations out on coworkers/friends/family. I feel like I am always irritated and wound so tight, and it's really uncomfortable to feel this way ALL the time. If I were happy, I would probably be more motivated and have more creative energy to work on the things that matter to me most in my personal life. For example, I am a fine artist and am trying to work towards creating enough pieces to have an art show, but by the time I am done with work and my commute, creating art is the last thing I want to do. Being creative takes a lot of mental energy, and right now my work frustrations are using it all up.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Basically, I have never been truly happy in this industry/career since I started in it 12+ years ago. I used to think that maybe it was just the places I worked at or the people I worked with. And while that definitely plays a huge part, I think there must be more to it than that. I want to know if maybe I need to rethink my career choice altogether, or if I just need to look at things in a different way.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Excellent question. I'm not sure. I am looking into working in Trust & Safety at a tech company. I don't know a huge amount about the field, but my understanding is that many former lawyers transition into that field because it requires many of the same skills used by lawyers.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I recently graduated from law school and I am working as an attorney. I have worked in three different positions in the past year and a half and I've been unhappy in all of them. I am looking to transition out of the legal field and into something that better suits my skillset and interests, but I am unsure what career I should pursue.
What do you want instead? It weighs heavily on me that I spent so much time and money to become a lawyer and it's not a career I enjoy. I feel a lot of anxiety that I will not find a career that suits me. I also fear that I will be unable to make my skills marketable in another industry. It's a burden on my family and in my relationship because they can see my unhappiness and they don't know how to support me. I just quit my job and I do not have another position lined up, so there is a chance this will affect me financially as well.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would feel much less stress and anxiety.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I just quit my job as an attorney and I am trying to decide what jobs I should apply for.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Flattened learning curve in current role and low engagement level. Identifying & connecting with the right people to explore new opportunities at senior executive levels, particularly with companies outside of traditional media/entertainment.

What is causing you to seek help right now?Feeling of inertia and challenged to see the clear steps I need to take to identify the next opportunity. Is increasingly clear to me that I am out of runway in current role and need to take action.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want two things: confidence and opportunities. When I mean confidence I am referring to the ability to see a job posting that I am interested in and feel that the resume I am sending out and my linkedin profile are worth the attention of the hiring managers. At the same time, I want the confidence that I have done everything I can to present myself as a solid candidate for a job. When I mean opportunities I do not necessarily mean job opportunities. I mentioned that I have a lack of confidence in my practical experience and resume, but where I do not lack confidence is in-person communication. In other words, I want interview opportunities so that I can show companies who I really am and what I have done and gone through to be the person I am today.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?The biggest , and most damaging, challenge I have is getting over the negative feelings I get when looking at my practical experience. I fear that employers and hiring managers will see me as inferior to other applicants because my experience is not that impressive.
What do you want instead?The negative effects of this challenge spreads to all the other aspects of my life. It turns into fear that my time in college was wasted, fear of letting my parents down after they worked so hard to give me the opportunity to go to college, fear of how I look to my peers who are successful, and finally fear that I will have to make do with some minimum wage job and continue to be a burden to my parents.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My life would be completely different from what I have been familiar with since I was a young child. Growing up in a low income family and seeing my parents struggle to provide for my two brothers and I, I want a career where I enjoy what I am doing and I feel financially safe because I am being paid my worth. Money in no way drives me, but the idea of taking pressure off my parents and showing them that everything they did was not in vain absolutely does.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Job searching is rigorous, confusing, discouraging, and more often than not uneventful. I have decided that I need professional guidance if I want to stand out from the sea of applicants that are out there. When I graduated from college in June 2018, I wanted to learn some new skills and gain certifications in them. I started out trying to self teach myself to prepare for certification tests, but that soon became a difficult route due to a lack of structure. As a result, I invested in an E-Learning service and proceeded to earn multiple certifications thanks to their courses. With that experience in mind, I feel that the guidance of professional career counseling would be extremely valuable compared to trying to do this on my own.

Pay off all debts, take vacations, travel and retire with ease.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I feel like my age and not having a "real" in 7 years and possibly having a bad credit score are my challenges in getting a meaningful job and career.
What do you want instead?Life is stressful at home.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I currently have an online business, but I'm not making much money with it yet. However, I really enjoy my online business. I love making others feel good about themselves and brightening their day. To be honest with you, I do not intend to give up my side hustle. I also enjoy social media--my main sources at this time are Facebook and Linkedin. Plus I enjoy doing Facebook Lives. When I get a new customer or distributor, that's the cherry on top and I make money.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Make money to bring peace in our home. Never working as an administrative/executive assistant, nor any secretarial or receptionist positions. Being able to get a fulfilling job without having to work in a high pressured, deadline environment. Have more confidence in getting a job that is the right job for me and the people I'm working with. Being able to handle myself with strength and confidence and not be scared off by interviewers' questions.

I suspect the problem is that my resume says that I am still working towards my PhD (which is true), but if I remove that from my resume, I have no way of explaining what I have been doing for the past three years in Indiana.
What do you want instead?I've gotten myself into incredible debt (personal and student loans) since I moved to Indiana to pursue my PhD, and the meager savings I had are almost gone. I need to find a job asap.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be making a living wage, pay off my student and personal debt, and be saving to buy a house and traveling.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have applied to numerous jobs and I am not getting any call backs. I tried do this on my own but it's clear I need professional help.

email:kathy.grubert@gmail.com
What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Money: I want a job that will enable me to work from home at a salary or hourly rate that will enable me to make at least $75K/year. Happiness: I want to continue working as long as I am able, but not at the expense of going into an office every day. I also want to do work that leverages what I most enjoy doing (i.e. writing and creating). Relationships & healthy lifestyle: I want to continue doing those things that promote work-life balance and healthy relationships. I don't want my work to be dependent upon a location, which would enable me to visit family for extended periods of time, or to move to a less expensive location (i.e. outside Los Angeles).
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenges are: * My age: 63 * Lack of knowledge/skills for finding work that will take me into the next phase of my career. * Marketing myself is the part of my work I most dislike and have managed to avoid thus far.
What do you want instead?Money: In the short-term, my savings are dwindling fast and I'm anticipating having to dip into my retirement savings if I don't find work by the first of the year. Happiness: I've not had work since the end of August, and I'm realizing the degree to which I rely upon work for my self-esteem and happiness. Health: I've been enjoying spending more time walking my dog, taking long nature walks with my husband, and swimming regularly. Relationships: This has been a time for re-evaluating my career and life trajectory. This has prompted my husband and I to face decisions about our future than we might not have, had this change in our financial situation not presented itself. My age: I am a 63-year old woman and, though I don't know this for sure, this may be hindering me (i.e. possible age-ism).
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be doing more of what I enjoy doing (i.e. writing, creating) and less of what I don't enjoy doing (commuting). While I would gladly accommodate my employer's/client's schedule, I would have a lot of flexibility in setting my own schedule. I would have regular productive conversations/meetings with clients but also enjoy a lot of autonomy in the work I do. I would also have more job/work stability.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have 20+ years in the field of training and organizational development, the past 12 years of which have been as an external consultant for one company. That company recently moved to the east coast and, along with it, most of my internal contacts. I now find myself in the position of having to actively seek out new clients/work. Rather than freak out at the prospect (which I must admit I have to consistently resist the urge to do), I instead am trying to regard this as an opportunity to proactively shape the next phase of my career.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to work in a thriving environment that is sound and healthy.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Currently I work for a public charter school and there are now many mandates and other factors that are effecting education and often disregard the whole child and their development. I am discouraged. All of these mandates are spilling over into my personal life, as the expectation is to work constantly and it has become more and more controlled over the years. It is getting worse year by year. I do not have a balanced lifestyle. Right now they want so much that I’m having a hard time figuring out how to navigate the new ways to get a new job/career via the web and making time to look etc,.
What do you want instead?For 20 years I didn’t develop personal relationships because I have constantly worked and then when I had a moment I would try to recoupe by sleeping or puttering around the house. I never married and/or formed even a good network of friends. I have been in therapy and see that parts of my life are passing me by. Year by year my current career is getting more stressful. I need a change. I’ve been told I am in a toxic/hostile environment.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would have a more fulfilling life. I like teaching, it’s just off balance where I am.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I need support and guidance as I am older now and not too sure how to navigate the web etc,.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a job that I can feel proud of. I'm not afraid to work, I just wasn't navigating my career intelligently in the past. I'm really taking the time now to get the life I want, and I feel like having a coach as a crucial teammate on this mission would be a big help. I think trying to do it alone makes it infinitely more difficult.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I'm a filmmaker and content creator. I recently was laid off from an entry-level tech job I had for 3 years. In that time I was creating original content, and continue to do so. My dream job is to be a story producer or creative producer. I have experience in entertainment as an assistant editor and production assistant. I'm willing to start anywhere really, but I feel like I need to be bringing in at least 60k/year to feel like I'm keeping my head above water. I want to get on the path to get there quickly, but also doing what I want to be doing. Job boards are not fruitful, I'm learning your network is so important and I've been actively working to build that lately.
What do you want instead?Most of my friends are more successful in their careers than me which I'm insecure about. It also effects my relationships with women. I don't need to be the richest guy in the world, I just don't want to feel like I'm underperforming, which is how I feel.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I feel like I would be able to enjoy the other things in my life without having this persistent nagging guilt that I haven't taken care of the biggest thing I need to take care of. My career frustration is by far the most draining thing in my life right now.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel like I have a lot to learn about making myself as attractive as possible to employers. As I said before, I most of all want a teammate in my job hunt. I want someone to help me build a better resume and develop my personal brand.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I feel like I'm starting fresh. I've primarily been a yoga teacher and run international retreats for the past few years and am ready to expand and evolve professionally as I just moved to San Francisco. This is the first time that I don't have a vision of what I want next, of what it looks like, and what may be a good fit. I have primarily worked for myself and feel underqualified working for a company.
What do you want instead?I have constant anxiety about financial stability which impacts every area of my life. I am unable to fully enjoy the little moments in life because I am constantly concerned over finances. I feel a lack of confidence in and embarrassed by my professional career because I feel like I am very late to the game and struggling to catch up.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I were happy in my career life would be more easeful. I wouldn't feel a constant restlessness in what I have not done. I would be able to enjoy life more and be proud of myself and what I'm doing. I would feel more genuinely excited versus anxious.
What is causing you to seek help right now?As every aspect of my life is in a state of transition, now is the time to take action, responsibility and accountability. I'm ready to live the life I know I'm capable of and am ready for.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I’d like to find a job or a career that is less adversarial and better suited to my personality and work life balance.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I’ve been a litigator for nearly nine years. Yet, I find the adversarial nature of my work draining. I’m naturally driven to work with people in a productive fashion to resolve disputes, rather than against them. I’ve known this about myself for a while, but didn’t know how to change career paths or what other career I would be qualified for that would provide similar financial benefits as lawyering.
What do you want instead?The long hours and stress of litigation affect My happiness, ability to sleep, and family life (I have two young children).
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I imagine I would not be as stressed out, would sleep better, and would have more personal time. If I enjoyed my work and felt productive, I would not mind working as hard.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I just had my second child, which increases the need for work life balance. This is also an optimal time in my life to melena career change because I have certain financial flexibility and time to work on doing so.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to work in a position where I feel energy, flow, alignment with who I am, joy, amazement, and hope. All the feelings I have felt in the past when I was, "In the zone". I want to continue to increase the amount of money I earn.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?The biggest challenges are: - presenting myself well on paper and in interviews - Identifying what I want to do next- while maintaining or increasing my current salary -Continuing to work in my present job in which the culture does not fit who I am.
What do you want instead?My health has been impacted- I struggle at times with depression and anxiety. Throughout my life, I have been optimistic and positive. Every time a door closed, another opened that bettered my life. I am stuck right now. My money has been impacted, and I haven't been as happy as I was in the past.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My life would be more in balance if I were happy in my career. I am happy in my personal life and have never let my career be my life. However, I feel my self esteem and sense of worth are suffering because of my unhappiness in my career.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have been applying for and interviewing for new jobs for the past 8 months. I have made it to the final round of interviews for several positions and was passed over for the , "In house" candidate. I'm not even sure I am interviewing for the right jobs.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to want to work hard and be paid well for it. I want to work with smart people. I want to learn new things. I want my contributions to be valued.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Lack of direction - peripatetic career history, and the feeling that I could go any number of ways at this point. Discomfort with self-promotion (native Midwesterner!). Time off to be home with kids, having trouble building momentum since re-starting working outside the home.
What do you want instead?I should be able to make much more money that I'm making. We're stressed because of finances, which isn't great for our relationship. I'm bored at my job.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'm seeking flow. I want to be fully engaged most of the time. If that were true, I'd be a happier person in all parts of my life.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel like I'm stuck, and I need to get unstuck pronto.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?* My own technology startup company where I can staff with leaders and engineers I have worked with in the past (I have a team that would join me). * An executive position at a "stable" company Google/Facebook/AWS with a good engineering culture and stable growth. * An engineering position at a "stable" company. Work on interesting distributed systems problems, develop expertise, and start working up the leadership ranks. * Ability to work with technology communities (e.g. open source), giving presentations, tutorials, blogs. Opportunity to educate and also to develop a public profile. * A position with flexible work hours where I can work remotely and also drive into the office as I see fit. * Good compensation.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?* Worklife balance * Finding the balance between influence and control over my engineering leaders * Understanding where to focus my efforts * Communicating effectively at the executive level * Developing an organization that is able to support production while also innovate.
What do you want instead?* Relationships: currently 100% travel. Not great for family life, but managing it. * Money: excellent. * Health: very good. * Happiness: varies. In general, frustrated, looking to make a transition.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I recently took on a very challenging role in a new organization with a new team. I have made progress, but the politics of the situation are extremely difficult to manage. I would be working hard, with weekends mostly free to spend with my family. I would be constantly challenged, but also be able to see and measure my accomplishments in a concrete and visible manner. I would have clear responsibilities and objectives, and the ability/time to execute on them in a compounding fashion. I would be able to spend more time with my family, work from home more, and overall be more efficient.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have an equity event at the end of September that will give me the freedom to work for a year or two. I am looking to make a transition in the month of October. It could be: - An internal move within my current company - Going out and working on a technology startup with the goal of attracting funding, staffing with my former team and marching towards a 1 or 2 year acquisition timeline.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to make a positive impact and help people, to have a successful and influential personal brand, to build wealth doing what I love, and to have financial freedom. To get out of debt, to provide for my family, friends, and to people/causes that I care about.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I feel completely stuck in the same role and salary - like I hit a very low ceiling straight out of college and haven't been able to break through it. I have a very low salary compared to the potential for my industry, and I currently don't feel like I'm respected for my abilities in my workplace or industry, I am not sure if I have the skills/abilities to have a financially rewarding and fulfilling career, and I overall don't feel fulfilled with my current state of my career and life. I'm not sure if this is what I want to be doing for the rest of my career, and I believe there is so much more than what I'm currently doing. Ultimately I want the ability to have financial freedom while working for myself, helping others and making a positive impact in some way, to love what I do and to be respected for it, and to lead a fulfilling life of abundance, joy, happiness, and giving.
What do you want instead? The challenges I currently face drastically effect my self-esteem, make my financial situation (especially student loan debt) seem almost hopeless, and that results in unhappiness. I know that there's much more than my current situation, and that a life of meaning is out there. I believe that I just need some mentoring to find it. I've never had mentoring/coaching before, but I am optimistic about turning this around.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I were happy with my career, I believe I'd radiate joy and gratitude, be more confident, give abundantly, be significantly less worried/stressed about my finances, and I would be working on things that I enjoy and am passionate about. Overall, I think I would be much more fulfilled and happier in all areas of life.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have never had a coach or a mentor, but I feel completely stuck in my career. I know that there is much more than spending the majority of my life in an endless cycle of mediocrity and feeling burnt out and hopeless. I don't want to be complacent, because I know I'm destined for much more. I'm hoping that having someone (from an outside perspective, with experience in feeling this way) to help push me to success is my missing link.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I work in advertising and I just turned 50 - so I'm old-ish in a "young" industry. Also, my experience is focused in the automotive category and I'm finding that it's difficult to get opportunities out of the category.

What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm feeling at a crossroads because of recent life changes and my age, and wanting to take control of really defining and owning my career path instead of just settling for the next job I can get.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I'm turning 36 in 2 months and I want to be in a stage of my life where my career is stable and on track to grow. I want to marry my girlfriend within the next year. I want to basically be happy and stop being angry.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Right now my biggest challenge is getting an offer. I constantly get interest from recruiters and companies about my background and skills. Over the past year I have had over 100 interviews, whether phone calls or face to face in person interviews, but I haven't received an offer. It is very frustrating and honestly it is ruining my morale and attitude. The joke in my family is that when I'm working and have a job my twin brother isn't. And when he is working, I'm not working because over the past decade since graduating college, we have never had a job at the same time. It's either he is working and I'm not or I'm working and he isn't. It sounds funny and stupid, but that's how it's been.
What do you want instead?I'm sure you hear this a lot, but when you don't have a job you feel worthless. Your self worth takes a big hit and honestly my self worth has taken a hit over the past year. With so many interviews and so many rejections, I feel like something is wrong with me. I'm taking rejections personally. I have had to stop my self a couple times from over reacting and sending a angry email to the hiring manager of the company which I thought I would get an offer from. I also feel the people who are interviewing for the jobs are less qualified then I am when I look at their background on LinkedIn, but they have a job and I don't. My girlfriend is ready to marry me but she won't until I have a job that is stable and this has put a big dent in our relationships. I honestly don't blame her. All I hear is that unemployment rate is at a 18 year low, but I can't get a job, which translates to me that there is something wrong with me. I also have a stuttering problem that shows up when I get nervous, especially on phone interviews. So when I stutter on the phone when talking to a potential employer they probably think I'm not qualified or I have a disability.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I was happy in my career right now, I would be able to stop worrying and enjoy life. My health has gotten a little worse since I got laid off last year and I'm always stressed and worried. I'm running through my savings and even though I have picked up a few consulting gigs that give me some income, it isn't enough and doesn't fulfill me. If I was happy in my career I would be happy in my personal life and be able to settle down and start a family with my girlfriend.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Having interviewed over 100 times in the past year and receiving no offer, I feel like something is wrong with me and something needs to change ASAP! I'm angry, and until you are angry you won't change or seek assistance. I need to get my self worth back and land a new job that rejuvenates my career.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like to find a career that if fulfilling, that uses my full and wide range of potential and experiences and that pays well.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have accepted positions and jobs more out of necessity than genuine interest. I've been on survival mode and have not really taken the time to explore and give myself the opportunity to identify what I'm good at and then go for it.
What do you want instead?There's an overall sense of dissatisfaction. On a micro-level I am able to do my job well and have advanced in my career because of my ability to get things done. However, on a macro-level, the positions I've held and the value I contribute, I feel does not match what I am earning or getting paid for. And this constantly brings insecurity in both career and finances.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be less anxious and worried about finances. Less stressed about not meeting standards and rid of the feeling that I am not good enough.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I would like help with identifying what I am good at and strategies on how to recognize and seize opportunites.

I want to discuss and determine to best option for me to pursue, and to evaluate the feasibility and likelihood of success (and likelihood of enjoying the process) for each of the options... plus brainstorming for any additional options not yet considered.

Has also created an intense sense of regret, and a sense of guilt over my career choice. Inability to feel comfortable with myself causes difficulty in finding relationships, feeling happy in any relationship that I am able to find, and lack of confidence when considering raising a family.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a healthy work/life balance.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenge is finding direction and clarity for my next step in my career. After years of experience in marketing within the academic publishing industry, I was let go, and I have been taking contract positions (not equal to my experience). I would like to get back to where I was, mostly in strategy, potentially product marketing, but it's difficult to translate my experience in the academic world to more competitive markets.
What do you want instead?I'm working contract positions that don't pay me enough to pay my bills. I would like to not have to dip into savings all the time. I also don't want to feel like I have been devalued somehow because it's been difficult for me to find a position.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I were happy in my career, I imagine being somewhat of an expert at what I know but also being able to separate out work and life. I spent too much time at that previous company and didn't feel appreciated when I was let go.
What is causing you to seek help right now?). I have had experiences with other coaches and do not want to start the engagement by filling out multiple forms and character assessments. I would much prefer someone who will talk to me first and ascertain which exploratory tools I should be engaging with. Once my coach and I identify the direction I want to go, I believe I can be more effective in my job search. Right now, I have been applying to positions that I THINK would be appropriate, MIGHT be aligned with my goals, and COULD be happy with. Some of my criteria for job searching: • The biggest factor that has impacted my decisions appear to be location-based. • Mostly marketing positions, but have considered project management (not yet applied). • In either publishing or other companies close to home (tend to be entertainment-based, like Disney or Warner Bros). AS you can see, this approach has been a bit of a shotgun method. It is my aim that this experience with a coach can change my method to a more targeted approach (a sniper approach as opposed to the shotgun method, if you will).

I want to be challenged at work and have a sense of overall peace and balance.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?After having been in the same job with a small non-profit organization for the majority of my career I feel like I don't have a good sense of what my abilities and talents are, or how those might translate in another profession.

I need help identifying strengths and thinking 'outside the box' about where to apply them.
What do you want instead?I feel like I can't move ahead with adding to our family or finding a new apartment/buying a house until a new job is settled. I don't want a long (life-sucking) commute so I want to find housing close to a new job.

What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?A lot like it is now, but with more income.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Getting rejected in interviews significantly more often than I expected I would.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I need to actually find other employment before I lose my mind at my law firm! And not in a law firm! I also have a brokers license and I am good at sales, but that is too risky right now.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Confidential to Mark: Some background: I am a 62 year old who looks 50. Google me to see my law firm bio, IMDB page and LinkedIn profile. Law partner 10 years and burned out and hates it. I need to transition to a compliance guy, business rep, relationship manager, labor relation exec. etc. In 5 years of looking and sending resumes, I have had 5 interviews for good positions. But no luck. I have been told that my age and lack of an Ivy league education has hindered me. Or, I am overqualified.
What do you want instead?Since I have income property, I can afford to take a lower paying job. Maybe it is my interviews? My resume? Bottom line, I cannot quit my job unless I can find something that pays at least $75,000/yr.or more. Otherwise retirement savings would be used to pay some bills. I also have two girls in college and a wife who is struggling as a real estate agent.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?It would be great. But being happy in my career is completely irrelevant, I am on a mission to pay college bills!
What is causing you to seek help right now?Not getting any results. Need to try something new.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Ideally I would like a new career path towards human resources management or human resources organizational development. I was told by my company that I would have to start as an administrator or specialist which I'm fine with but I would have to take a major cut in pay and it would not be a lateral move. So, now I'm looking to see what my next steps are or if I should even consider this major transition in my life. This also includes pursuing a credential in a Human Resources Management program at UCLA. I don't mind acquiring more debt to get the certificate in this program, but only if it'll help me.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I think my biggest challenge is making a career transition from one career into something new and having to start from the bottom. There are more physical challenges than mental challenges to consider like losing my ongoing and accruing work benefits towards retirement and having to start all over again mid-career. I have no issues with continuing my education and acquiring credential certificates or a master's degree if need be, but as I'm told by some career professionals and one college professor that at my age getting a degree beyond a bachelor's sometimes doesn't help or loses its value. When recruiters see that I have so much experience in administrative non-management roles, I'm immediately pigeon-holed to certain positions. I feel that with my many years of experience within the same company and my age, it has actually disadvantaged me instead of helped me in past interviews and in my search for jobs. I try to put my current beliefs and ideas aside about the industry that I've worked in, but unfortunately, much of it is true and I try not to let it affect me in my goal to search for a new career path. I also have only started networking on LinkedIn and I feel that my resume is weak and needs some major tweaking....like a strong summary, etc. I also feel that my current values and beliefs do not coincide with my work initiatives. I work in sales administration for Warner Bros. Domestic TV as a Sales Analyst/Administrator and when I first started this job over 10 years ago, I was a much a different person than the one I am now. I no longer feel that I fit in with my work culture although I am close to my co-workers and have strong working relationships with them.
What do you want instead?These challenges are not negatively impacting my life. While I was in school getting my undergraduate degree, it was more difficult where I was spreading myself thin between work, marriage, and family issues (not kids, but parents. But now that I'm finished with school, my life is much better. I'm no longer stressed out and miserable lol. I worry about money in the respect that with student loans that I'm currently paying off, if I decide to pursue a graduate degree, that will be something I will need to seriously consider. The only thing now is I'm anxious, restless, and worry about being stuck in my job until I retire because of my previous experiences with HR recruiters and hiring managers and my current knowledge about the industry I work in.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would no longer be worried about being stuck in the same position until I reach retirement. I would take more vacation time than I do now because I worry about my future in my company. I would be able to help others as well as help improve areas of organizational development within particular work cultures where it is much needed.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I believe I have most of the tools to become successful and being in my late 40's and mid-career, have just received my undergraduate degree in Sociology, I have a much different career path in mind, but of which I cannot transition into because of all the work benefits, 401k, pension, salary that I will have to give up. I'm caught in a crossroad in mid-life and career path. I'm thinking about continuing my education but with my current student loans, I will have to incur more loans and I don't know if at my age if it's even worth pursuing anymore being that if I get my master's degree, I will be paying off student debt until retirement.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like to locate a first job at a medium to large size company either in software engineering, web development, or as a scrum master that feels like it is the beginning of a career that I will be happy in. It does not have to be perfect or somewhere I hope to stay forever, but I want to feel like my life is starting instead of ending.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am a recent college graduate from USC Viterbi School of Engineering with a double major in Computer Science and Business Administration. I wanted some assistance with gaining my first job and planning my future career. I have been struggling with motivation issues in my job search, particularly when it comes to the low response rate on applications. It is difficult for me to motivate myself to continue to apply to places when I'm not getting responses. So, I'm hoping to learn strategies for pushing past that and continuing to seek employment.
What do you want instead?These challenges have put the rest of my life on hold until I can resolve them and get a job that will lead to a fulfilling career. The stress has impacted my health and relationships, and obviously being unemployed means I am living on savings, which is obviously not sustainable.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My life would be significantly more structured if I was happy in my career. I would be able to have a set schedule and direction that would propel me forward into success.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel like a lack of direction/an actionable plan is preventing me from achieving my goals, and I think having outside assistance in creating this would be the best way forward for my future.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like to merge my storytelling expertise with my visual design background. I think something like advertising, but because my career to this point has been diverse and spread over multiple disciplines, I am struggling to even get interviews.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have been in a diverse creative career since 1998. I began as a product designer, moved into retail display design, graphic design, and followed my personal passion for storytelling into film and screenwriting. In 2010 I was laid off for the last time and I pursued film/screenwriting and dabbled in design as a freelancer. I have been struggling to find fulltime work again in a creative field. Now I'm not in a creative job at all and would like to find a way back into a creative field.
What do you want instead?Since I'm working for low pay, my life suffers in many ways. Lack of relationships, stress, unhappy. Feeling stuck and at the same time rootless.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Fulfilled. As a creative, I believe your talent is born into you. When I have had the opportunity to use it to the fullest, I was amazed at how good my life felt.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Stuck. Been sending out resumes like mad for years and getting nowhere.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?A new challenge and a chance to make a bigger impact.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Getting to the next step. I have done well where I am, but it's not working for me anymore. As my wife says, I have outgrown my current situation and feel like have no (positive) role models left to learn from.
What do you want instead?Well, I am frustrated and that's no fun.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Happier in general since I wouldn't need to expend the energy I do now putting on a positive act at work.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am making progress on my own in the hunt for my next step, but it is slow going. It also feels like my approach to finding the next level jobs I am looking for might not be quite right. I am looking for someone who has "been there, done that" to help accelerate the process.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?A new adventure. Perfect job may not exist, but at least by doing something new, I’d be taking action.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?1) Prioritizing - money vs. flexibility vs. making the works better 2) Taking action to do something new/make a change
What do you want instead?Not loving my current job makes me feel even more guilty about spending time away from my young daughter. And I’m sure my husband is tired of hearing me complain.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?More fulfilling
What is causing you to seek help right now?I work too much to find the energy to find a job. Or perhaps, I just struggle prioritizing the job search. I thought coaching would help me be more accountable and help me work through putting changes in place.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want switch to a new industry (consumer tech, AI, software) in a larger city (west coast or the south), while also taking an equal or better position (director) Become an entrepreneur Become comfortable with, and effective in, networking
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I've been at the same company for last 11 years, and while I've had some success, I haven't reached where I thought I would (at least a director of marketing) I'm disengaged and unmotivated (not growing or learning anything new) While I learn fast and my skills are transferrable (B2B product management), I don't have the industry expertise or experience that my target companies value (software, consumer tech, autonomous tech) I"m not good at sales I want to create a business but I don't what it will be how/ where to start I don't have much of a network, and developing it is a challenge where I am (small town in upstate NY) I need visa and green card sponsorship I think I don't come across as senior management type in my interviews or daily interactions I sometimes lose patience when I see someone doing things inefficiently or ineffectively Accountability and perseverance- I get discouraged after stalling a few times and then don't follow through I often come up with great plans but don't follow through to the end.
What do you want instead?I have had job offers but either pay was lower than what I wanted or not in an area I wanted to be in. This has affected my morale and enthusiasm for sure. But also affected my marriage. My wife and I have lived separately since our marriage 2 years ago because she doesn't want to live in my small town. And I haven't been able to make a move to a bigger city where she'd also move to
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'll have clear plans and will look forward to the day ahead I'll be creating something new in this world or make things around me better
What is causing you to seek help right now?While I've had a few interviews and good success rate of turning them into offers, I decided to turn those down because I was viewed at a level below what I expected. I've applied for 100s of jobs but getting interviews has been challenging. I believe my approach is inefficient and want to find an express path. In the next 6 months, I have to find a new job in a bigger city or my head will explode and heart will break

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would love direction, somewhere to channel all my energy. I have no problem working for what I want, so i usually achieve my goals but its just not working out that way right now. I want to find something that I really excel at. My strength and experience has been working with people. Building beneficial relationships and I would really love to incorporate that into my job. I don't think I could stand or be happy sitting in front of a computer all day. I would love an opportunity where I can work creatively with people. This might be a long shot right now but I would love to feel fulfilled at the end of my day.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I just moved to LA and overwhelmed by all the different options / industries. I don't know exactly what job title i'm looking for so I'm lacking direction. I don't feel confident that I'm standing out from the competition. Haven't received any replies or interview opportunities but I also haven't applied to many jobs even though it feels like I'm searching online all day everyday.
What do you want instead?I have no money, I feel very stagnant. I would like to wake up in the morning having a purpose to my day. I haven't met many people because I'm in my house searching for jobs all the time. it's all just a vicious feedback cycle.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?as I mentioned above, I would love to find something that fits me and that I can excel at. I can't wait to be financially independent again. I know that would bring my self confidence way up. I wouldnt feel stagnant rather feel like I'm getting somewhere in life. not working at a dead end job. or even one that would be a good stepping stone.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel like I'm flailing about and not getting anywhere. I need assistance gaining a direction and getting that interview. I feel much more confident in person than I do on paper and so I feel like all I need to do is get my foot in the door.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I don't know how to apply my strengths to an actual (well-paying) career. I have the imagination and creativity to come up with unique things but I want to have a more practical career.
What do you want instead?As a newly-grad from UCSB, I am financially cared for, but I strive to start a career and become self-sufficient. I don't mind embarking on internships or part-time jobs that aren't ideal or very enjoyable, as long as they help me get to where I want to end up.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Finding a meaningful internship or job would give me a lot more peace of mind that my life was moving in the right direction. The last thing I want is to be stagnant and unemployed living at home.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I really have several challenges. 1. taking action - i know what i need to do to up my game professionally but i dont have the follow through 2. Getting my boss to share his knowledge - my direct boss has no goals for me. i have been doing the same thing for over 5 years and have constantly asked for more challenging work but he is unwilling to help 3. Ive lost my personal brand - since coming to work for my present employer i have experienced so many obstacles that it has caused me to uninvolved and afraid to speak up - though i am not a shy person
What do you want instead?My career has stalled. My employer is not difficult in fact he is very laid back but because he doesnt share or mentor me i have not grown much in the past 3 years. This bothers me.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?i would be more open to discussions. i would definitely become more involved in group discussions and share ideas.I'd be on my way to becoming a CFO.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to re-engage with the working world, feel productive, start earning a living again, and feel fulfilled in the work that I do. Towards those goals, I want to overcome my fears, roadblocks and inertia; identify types of jobs in which I can utilize my talent, skills and experience; and find the motivation needed to look for those jobs and go after them.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I'm 54 and have spent most of my career working as a producer and writer in documentary and non-fiction television. While I've enjoyed most of what I've done, I've made two escape attempts (briefly working for a non-profit and more recently by buying and operating a math tutoring franchise, which I sold at the end of 2017). My current career challenges include: figuring out what to do for the rest of my working life; identifying a type of job that would be purposeful, meaningful and, in some way, of service to others; getting motivated to pursue that job; and overcoming the self-doubt, negative thinking and lack of confidence -- combined with a lack of direction -- that has led to a professional standstill.
What do you want instead?First and foremost, the challenges I've listed have led to depression, anxiety and one serious existential crisis. Definitely not happy or enjoying life in the way I would like to. Financially, I'm fortunate that my wife works, so the wolves are not at the door. Although my wife is not pleased with my work situation, she has been mostly patient and supportive and is the one who suggested reaching out to a career coach.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Better in all ways: happier; engaged; feeling productive.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm in a fairly deep and dispiriting hole that I need to get out of, and I'm hoping professional coaching will help me do that.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Instead, I want to land a job within a meaningful and fulfilling career path while earning a salary that will allow me to maintain the lifestyle that I enjoy.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?The last two jobs that I held were at very small companies that weren't using "industry standard" software, so I feel like I'm not at the level I should be at for my amount of work tenure. With varied interests, I'm finding it difficult to search for a new job since I'm not sure which industry and/or position might be best for me & my transferable skills.
What do you want instead?Lately, I've been feeling "un-tethered" and "un-moored" without a job and that is affecting my savings and overall happiness.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I could again feel proud of answering the question "what do you do?"
What is causing you to seek help right now?After being away from the workforce for 2 years caring for aging parents, I've decided that it's finally time to update my resume, obtain effective job search strategies, learn how to best market my skills as well as determining which industries/career paths are ideal for me.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like the ability to manage my time well so my family does not feel like they take a back seat to my career. I would like to be able to create reasonable goals and meet them as wells as meeting the deadlines I am required to meet.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My largest challenge is time management and being focused on the task at hand or being in the moment.
What do you want instead?I have a great deal of trouble separating my professional and my personal life. I have a tendency to give 100 percent to a task. However, it is very hard for me to keep a balance and I am thinking about work when I am home due to not being able to meet deadlines because I struggle with time management.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I am not currently working however if I had a career I was happy with I would not have the stress of thinking about how I was going to fail or the fear of being fired over mistakes. I have a tendency to imagine the worst case scenario.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel that the career moves I have made have not lead me to the place I want to be. I feel like I am spinning my hypothetical wheels. I know that I want to look into is a career in councling. However, the challenges I have in time management and being efficient with time limit my ability to do this.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to work for people I admire, and who want to make use of my creativity. I wish I could be excited about what I do, to learn more and discuss/problem-solve with equally motivated co-workers. I want to be challenged in my work rather than resentful. I want the possibility of earning more rather than feeling like I am being held back by my manager.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenges are being taken seriously, communicating with superiors, finding mentorship, matching my talent and value with compensation, being highly motivated for the company to succeed and becoming resentful because it seems others aren't (including my manager), focusing my talents and getting excited about acquiring a deeper knowledge base in a career field, and not being sure what I want.
What do you want instead?I get frustrated. As staff at a production company that makes commercials, my current contract requires me to be here 9-10 hours 5 days a week ("production hours"), and business is very slow so I feel like I'm wasting my life just sitting here. I need to make time for exercising and dating because when I get home I'm really tired. I am able to save $500 a month. I know the company where I work is not responsible for me taking care of myself, but I am not happy with this current situation and I don't have a clear direction forward.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be more confident. I wouldn't be worrying about money. I would be more giving. I would be inspiring and helping other people.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I need help to discover where I can effectively direct my efforts. I am comfortable and unhappy with my career, but know that if I have some guidance and put in the work into it, I gain some clarity on how I can be most useful and satisfied.

What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would have a lot less anxiety and less grey hair.
What is causing you to seek help right now?The realization that I'm unable to match my experiences from my current and only job to other positions that I think I want.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to wake up every morning feeling energized, excited, and motivated to tackle the day. I want a career where my training, experiences, interests, and talents are utilized. I want a career that gives me purpose, meaning, fulfillment and happiness. I want a career that I love and feel good/positive about. I want my career to give me an internal sense of well-being and usefulness. I want a stable career that gives me an income that can sustain me.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Finding purpose, meaning, fulfillment and happiness in my career. I am having a tough time finding a career/advancing my career with a career that I love and feel good/positive about. I need my career to give me an internal sense of well-being and usefulness. I need my career to give me creativity and freedom in my work. I don't like routine. I like to grow as a person. I appreciate a career that is not antiethical to my beliefs and values. I need a career that gives me an income that can sustain me.
What do you want instead?These challenges impact my stress levels (stressed and anxious about life and making money), eating habits (not eating healthy), mood (not happy, satisfied/content, or feeling at my best), money (not making an income to sustain me), relationships (those around me see my unhappiness and struggle with it). I am also unable to move forward and feel stuck.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be less stressed and anxious about life and making money. I would be more happy, fulfilled, and satisfied. I would feel more confident in making bigger decisions in life. I could focus on other things rather than always worrying about making money.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have hit a roadblock trying to figure all this out on my own and need professional assistance. I need a partner and not a salesperson.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Stability. I'd like to find a position at a larger (or extremely well-funded boutique size) media company. I'd consider advertising, commercial production, development, web and new media, VFX and specialty vendors, etc. I really don't want to say yes to a position that pays less than $70K, although a strong benefits package would ease that number a bit. If I'm unable to find that job, I need a clear 2 year path to that number.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Getting potential employers to see my skill set as dynamic and not disparate, and securing a position with commensurate pay and benefits. I believe my MFA in Production Design has created a balanced practical component to a powerful conceptual cognitive framework. I've built and help build all kinds of brands, projects, and companies.
What do you want instead?I'm ready for a bigger league of challenges. I certainly need to secure stable employment with benefits in the near term while developing my own revenue streams. I've worked hard to build my life's infrastructure, and Im ready to thrive.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I love the West Coast. I have a medium term goal of splitting my time between LA and Vancouver. I also really enjoy Portland. I'd like to develop professional and personal opportunities that begin to take me up and down the coast. I would hike a lot more, and invest in the smaller things that make life fun.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm graduating from my masters program and believe now is the time to get my foot in the door somewhere special. I've worked for myself and smaller organizations. I'd like to work on larger scale projects, and put an employer with some gravitas and name recognition on my resume. I'd really like to find a company I could see myself with for 5+ years.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Interviewing for jobs and branding myself, adapting to a new work environment, and not being able to stay at one job for more than a year.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to feel like I have direction - at least have an idea of what I want so that I can actually work toward something and not continuously spin my wheels. I want to regain my confidence and self-esteem in the workplace. My experiences have created a very negative association in regards to the workplace. I want to see the light at the end of the tunnel and feel hope again!
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Fear, limiting beliefs, and lack of direction. As a result of not knowing what I want to do, I unfortunately have jumped around a bit which is reflecting negatively on my resume.
What do you want instead?I feel very stuck. I want to move forward but every time I try, I break down in tears. I feel paralyzed. My frustration and shame is affecting every area of my life.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would feel lighter - the heavy 20 lbs weight that I carry around daily would be gone! I wouldn't feel so shameful and can actually be confident again. I could spend my energy focusing on other things that are important to me.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I need to change and I feel like I can't. I am very stuck. I feel like I am wasting time and my energy is not being put in the right direction. I need to find the clarity that I have been searching for that I am unable to find myself.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to be happy and excited about the career path I'm on. I want to segue into Hollywood without totally losing my quality of life. I want to understand that I am making the smart choice for myself and my career — I don't want to be a creature of constant reinvention like I have been up until now. I want to start building industry specific skills to grow in my career.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My career path has never had any real direction. I worked in book publishing for a year out of college — a sinking industry — and jumped ship when the branch office went from 60 people to 15. There was no opportunity for me. I then switched into an entirely new career, as a ghostwriter/copywriter for a tech company. The work was challenging at first and exciting. Then two things happened. 1. I moved to Los Angeles and decided to continue on remote. My whole life is in LA and I would like my career to be as well, but it has been severely limiting for the career that I began in San Francisco. As a remote worker I don't have the tools of visibility necessary to take the next step in my company. 2. My department at the company is flat, meaning there is no logical next step for me. As a ghostwriter there is no immediate next step. As a copywriter, I could start at a new company and continue working my way up. But the more I thought on this, the more I realized I didn't want to do it. I'm now attempting to get into a whole new career path within a very different trajectory — and much of my past work experience is irrelevant. I want to work in film/tv development, something I've been doing freelance peripheral to my 9 to 5. From the research I've done (and I've done a lot) the path to doing tv/film development work looks like this: 1. Work at an agency in a year and hate your life. Make a lot of connections, learn about the industry and have dibs on the most exciting projects and positions. 2. Get a job through the agency at a small production company and work as an assistant for another year or two. 3. Work as a jr. creative executive if you can find work. 4. Make it to creative executive, The first year is quite a spirit-killing slog from what I've heard and I do worry about how to make smart trade-offs for my life and career and how to think about valuing my skills in an entirely new industry.
What do you want instead?It's been a tough month. I'm very burnt out on my current job and the soul search going into my job planning has definitely shaken my confidence, which is affecting my relationships.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be excited to get up in the morning and go to work. I would be working in a collaborative space. I would know what the next step I'm pushing toward is.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel stuck in my job search and would like help in determining whether the career transition I'm pursuing is right (for me) before I take the plunge.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I started my own business (a mobile video social network) and it didn't take off. I took a job in business development to "stop the bleeding" but now I really would like a job I'm more passionate about. I'm also re-learning exactly how I fit into the workforce, because I was a jack of all trades as a Founder/CEO. I'm currently very unhappy in my current company and looking for the right opportunity.
What do you want instead?I'm frustrated pretty much every day at work and after work. It makes it hard for me to enjoy any of my free time. I talk about it with my girlfriend constantly.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?It wouldn't be a monkey on back at all times, I would just produce at work, and engage meaningfully with my off time.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Feeling a little stuck, mostly because I have confusion around my career path, and I want a clear direction to go towards so I can execute.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a job that means something to me rather than just selling my labor to the highest bidder. I'm tired of working for a corporation that in my opinion contributes nothing to the greater good of society.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I'm feeling lost right now working my first job out of college (customer service for Spokeo). I got the job through a temp agency and I've stayed there for the money and the perks, but the work itself feels soulless and unfulfilling. I'm holding back out of fear that I'm not skilled enough for a better job.
What do you want instead?I hate getting out of bed in the morning and I'm stressed and irritable all day at work.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like a healthier attitude towards work where I am more able to embrace it instead of resenting it, and I want to have a better relationship with colleagues.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Presence, leadership, positioning myself as credible, and managing workload and big picture. More importantly, I also have an unhealthy attitude towards work in general where I view it as a burden and resent it - I think this is gleaned from past behaviors I have seen towards it and I would like to change this.
What do you want instead?My self esteem is too tied to my perceived performance at work - which ends up affecting my health and happiness overall. I'd like to implement more separation with sense of self and overall mental health with work. Another big thing is that I've developed an unhealthy attitude towards eating where it's been really hard to not stress eat
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would have more purpose and more motivation all around instead of constantly being stressed about how much I have to do, and how it will affect my mood.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Confidence in myself Networking Understanding some professional landscapes and how my skills fit and where/how to acquire more useful skills/certifications that will make me more competitive.
What do you want instead?I usually hesitate to make decisions in my personal life if I don't feel like my professional life is moving forward. Due to a lack of confidence, i often undersell myself with prospective employers and end up receiving less than ideal salary, benefits, or position that turn out to be below my actual skill set and ability, which in turn affects my personal feelings about myself and my happiness.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I think I would have less anxiety about my future which would enable better decisions in my personal life and relationships.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel like I have reached a fork in my career and personal life. I want to move forward in both, but I'm unsure how.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I'm not feeling as fulfilled with what I'm doing as I feel I could be... Not that I dislike what I do, but I would like to be able to say on my deathbed, I'm happy I spent as much time doing what I did. Also, would like to have a more control over my environment reducing toxic elements that sometimes crop up (or learn to better handle them).

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I like the idea of working for a non-profit or some sort of organization that does some good. My favorite part of teaching was getting to know the students and being influential to their lives, many of which were quite sad lives. However, I wasn't the best at the actual teaching. It was hard for me to teach the same lesson over and over. And many days, I had no patience by the end of the day and did a poor job at being enthusiastic and inspiring.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I want to leave teaching and I have random skills and experience that don't fit into a specific niche. Job searches are difficult because I don't know what job titles to even search for...they are all ambiguous titles that I don't even know about sometimes. I spend a lot of time on resumes and cover letters to no avail. Additionally, I'm having a hard time tailoring my LinkedIn profile and resume since I don't have a specific niche in mind. I'm worried I'm going to end up in a secretarial/administrative assistant position like I had for the State of Michigan for four years. It was mind-numbingly boring and made me extremely depressed to not use my mind at all and have 0 challenge. I was supposed to be able to move up but got no where.
What do you want instead?I'm extremely stressed since I do need a job by the beginning of September as that's when my teacher pays stops. I have the freedom to move pretty much wherever and do not want to stay in Las Vegas. However, I cannot support myself in an expensive city on the salary I will likely start at. I am from Michigan and like the idea of being closer to home but I'd go pretty much anywhere for the right job that pays a livable salary. Right now, I am single and child free so my career is quite important in my life.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Lol, I am not sure. Probably a lot more fulfilling.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am lost in the sea of endless job searching.

I want to do something more aligned with my interests and passions. I turn 55 this year and I want to find work that I can enjoy as I move into my 60's.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I've worked in the entertainment industry for about 25 years. My biggest challenge has been working on projects that are creatively fulfilling - and since these projects are very difficult for me to secure I'm now interested in moving into a "second career."
What do you want instead?Def personal happiness. I'm fairly secure in other aspects of my life, but I feel unenthusiastic and in general unsatisfied in my work life.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd have less angst. I'd be happier and more content - which I believe would make me a more compassionate and patient person.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like to work for a smaller company where I can be an asset. Also, I have an idea that I am researching and would perhaps like to pitch to a company.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My career experience is diverse between sales and operations approximately 15 years in sales (Domestic and International) and 10 years in operations. I am currently pursuing sales jobs however my experience is mostly with International and the majority of the openings are for Domestic positions with little experience or considerable experience. Currently my position is not very fulfilling - my company was recently purchased and integrated into a large public company. My job has transitioned to more of a support position instead of the lead contact for accounts.
What do you want instead?It is difficult to always come home smiling when the day is not rewarding. My husband recently made a job change late in his career so I am hopeful!
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would just be happier - everything else in life is pretty good.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to be more firmly in charge of my career and not at the mercy of others.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?In general, moving to the "next level": I've been a bit stuck a mid-management and need to move up the proverbial food chain. I recognize that this may be something to do with me in particular or in just not being in the right place at the right time and receptive to opportunities. Right now? Landing a new job. I was laid off in December and although I've had interviews I have not yet landed a new role.
What do you want instead?Obviously unemployment is stressful and I would not be honest if I didn't say it was impacting my marriage. I try to remain stoic about it in the classic sense: I have not changed, just circumstances. I offer a great deal, but I may also not be the right fit for many of the teams I have talked to.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I had more control over my career and didn't feel like such an "employee" as opposed to the C-suite type that I should be, I think I would not feel like I am at the mercy of others
What is causing you to seek help right now?I think I come across well in interviews, but after so many not resulting in offers I have begun to question my tactics and need a second opinion

I'm not necessarily looking for the highest paying position, but something I could comfortably offset my wife's salary with and provide benefits for my family. A long commute would be rough, but I'm willing to do it if it helps get my foot in the door somewhere.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Making the leap from business owner to the corporate world. Proving my entrepreneurial experience fits or exceeds their requirements. Confidently selling myself as the best fit for their opening and forming compelling ideas on the fly.
What do you want instead?I've been interviewing for about 8 months and it's definitely wearing on me. I spend so much time rewriting my resume, polishing my portfolio, and researching each company that I am little help to my business partner. I would just like to be done and finally land somewhere, so much that I'm considering a significant commute that I was trying to avoid from the start. Money-wise, it would be great to provide more for my family and allow my wife to cut back to a part-time job.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be more confident as a better provider for my family, and I would love to work in an atmosphere that really pushed me to improve and expand my current skillset.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've had maybe 15 phone interviews, of which 5 have turned into onsite interviews. I have yet to receive an offer, and I would like to improve the chances that the next onsite ends with an offer so I can put the job search to rest.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?At this point in my life, I just want a regular 9-5 job with some flexibility so I can focus more on other areas of my life. At the same time, I also don't want to lose the momentum I've built up in my career. I want to continue to learn and grow personally and professionally. And I need to maintain my income level to support the quality of life I want for my family and myself.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?-Work/life balance. I have the tendency to take on too much at work, and it consumes me. It's been a painful pattern throughout my career and I am not quite sure how to change that. -Unclear about my career direction. I came from a technical, business analysis and operations background, and transitioned into product management about 1.5 years ago. I enjoy certain aspects of product management, but I am not sure if I want to continue down this path. I feel that it's a very demanding and competitive field. I am not sure if I have the right personality or stamina to be successfully. I want to find a career path that's a good match with my strengths and support my personal needs. -I've worked for the same company for 10 years. I want a fresh start to diversify my skills and industry experience. But for whatever reason, I've hesitated to apply for jobs outside. I don't feel confidence in my ability to market myself in job interviews. I also struggle to set asides the time needed to prepare for job interviews.
What do you want instead?I have a 3-yr old daughter. So there's a lot demands on my time both at home and at work. My relationship with my husband suffers because we rarely have the time and energy for each other. My health suffers because I don't exercise like I used to, and I sit in the office all day eating lunch at my desk. I also want to be able to spend more time with my daughter during the week, and be there for her. She's growing up quickly and she needs more attention from me to support her social and language development. She's a bit behind in her language development for a 3-yr old.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'll be able to take better care of myself and my family. I would enjoy being at work and not feel stressed. I will be able to come home by 5ish and go the park with my daughter, and reads to her more in the evenings. I will have the time to re-connect with my husband and rebuild our relationship. I will go back to a regular exercise routine and get healthier.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've attempted to change the pattern myself and tend to get "sucked" back into the same routine. I feel stuck and overwhelmed about what I need to do in order to make changes. I am hoping coaching can give me the extra support I need in order to break old habits and patterns in my life, clarify which direction I want to take with my career, and help prepare myself for job interviews.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Accounting is doing same thing every month. I find it bore sometimes but I still enjoy doing it because there are many things in accounting I want to learn. When I learn something new and can apply to work I am happy. So I still want to do accounting and don't think of doing something else instead.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenges when it come to my career is that I want to move from Staff accountant to Senior accountant but I have a hard time to do it. Working hard is not enough it is something else that one person need to know what to do and how to prepare for that move. Getting a job is a challenge and how to keep the job is another challenge thing. I have been changing jobs several times for couple of reasons: company has reduction in force, company has reorganization.
What do you want instead?These challenges impacting a little of everything, relationships, money, health, happiness, in my life. Money is the biggest one that impact my life.

I want to master the interview skill so that if I like the job and company I can be able to get it.

What is causing you to seek help right now?Although I have tried some coaching before, a recent internal interview and feedback confirms that I have not addressed these barriers sufficiently.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to achieve a promotion while making the leap from Tennessee to California. I believe in myself but I have to improve my weaknesses in the interview process to ensure that I do not sell myself short.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?The biggest challenge of my career is applying for jobs in California while being in Tennessee. I have had a handful of phone interviews but the process does not go further than that. I have a great reputation and a track record of success. I want to know that I did my absolute best effort in interviews so that prospective employers can see me for the candidate that I am.
What do you want instead?My wife and I have been planning on moving to California for over five years, but my current position was too good to pass up for building up my resume. My kids are getting to the age where my oldest will be starting school in a few years and we are ready for the move. My wife is ready to move our family closer to her family. The not knowing when the change will happen is not helping matters.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I am happy with my career path, but I do not want to have to alter my career path with the move to California from Tennessee. I would like to continue my career path and not take a step backwards with the move.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel that my current efforts are not getting the job done. I have sought help from recruiters in California and I feel that they do not promote me because I am not living there currently. I want to take the wheel and get the job done.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to use my skills and experiences to make a difference (why I focus on nonprofits). I want to be challenged with my work and look forward to it. I want to be able to support my family.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I was laid off from a nonprofit in September (reduction in force move). I have not been able to get a new position. My age is a factor (60 years old) but I am sure not the only reason. I get interviews, so I feel pretty good about my resume. I need help with interviewing skills. People keep telling me to open my search beyond nonprofits, but I have NO idea how to do that.
What do you want instead?I have run through all the severance money and I am dipping into our retirement accounts. As you would expect, the situation has put major stress on my marriage and health (high blood pressure, hard time sleeping). I am not a happy person.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Less stress, more free time, more happiness overall, better health.
What is causing you to seek help right now?What I have been doing on my own is not working.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I really enjoy nutrition, health and a holistic lifestyle. I would like to focus on working for a company that I believe in their philosophy and can learn and grow and enjoy my career.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I hate where I am right now. I'm bored, unmotivated, leadership/management is uninspiring and creating a toxic environment to work in. I feel stagnant. I want to do something with my life that has meaning and what I enjoy, but I'm not able to get into that arena because I have NO experience! I find myself jealous of other people who are successful and living/doing their passion.
What do you want instead?Yes, everything is effected. I have an unsupportive husband who doesn't want me to leave my job because I make more than him and it's good money. Yes, it is but that's not who I am. I have so many doubts about myself and moving on to something else. Where do I start? How do I start? What if I fail? Will my husband support me?
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I don't know...I'm so beaten down at my current job, I don't know what it's like to be happy anymore..
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have to make a change. I can't live like this and be unhappy and definitely can't be a good employee if I hate where I am.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I am not sure yet but I do have interest in the fashion / apparel industry. I've done some research in becoming a "retail buyer" and this appeals to me but I am afraid to make another career mistake. I'd like to use my background in finance and combine it with something more creative. A job that combines left brain and right brain would suit me better, I think. But I need to understand myself first and this is why I am seeking your help. My wife and I are planning on moving to France in the near future so I'd like that to sync with my career as well.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?The biggest challenge is that my career as a real estate financial analyst makes me feel unfulfilled. Real estate is not a field I care much about and I see it as a dead end. With your help, I'd like to discover my purpose are and pivot my career towards it.
What do you want instead?I have money but I am unfulfilled. My work is the source of doubt, stress and unhappiness. I bring stress home with me which impacts my wife. My lack of understanding of myself impacts my confidence at work and at home. I feel I need to understand myself better before I can create positive changes in my life.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If my career was aligned with purpose, I would feel more confident, more fulfilled, enthusiastic about life. This would make me a happier person. I want to be proud of myself and I think happiness in my career is missing.
What is causing you to seek help right now?There are many life changes that will occur in 2018: my wife and I are having our first child, we are considering moving to France for 6 months during her maternity leave, I have spent two years in my current role as a real estate analyst and I feel now is an acceptable time to make a career shift, I am turning 33 years old (not exactly young anymore).

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I really want to be clear about what I'm going for and I want to be able to make a comfortable living out of it. I want to be proud of what I do and I want to be doing it at a company that is well known and values the employee. Ideally, I'm looking more long term and want my skillset to be able to be applied across different industries, versus just being boxed into one. I want to be able to be proud of my job and I want to stop struggling.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenge is being crystal clear about what type of job I want AND knowing what types of jobs out there that would be best suited for me. Applying for jobs that just seem interesting to me can be overwhelming and time-consuming. I don't feel like I have direction, let alone knowledge of all the different types of jobs out there that exist. I'm sure there are quite a lot of jobs that I simply do not know exist and could use help in identifying which would be best for me. Another challenge is about not starting over in terms of salary.
What do you want instead?I can't even begin to explain how negatively it has impacted me. I've lost a lot of self-esteem and confidence. It has impacted ALL areas of my life. Everything from relationships, to health, and of course money has been a struggle and that is an understatement. Physically, I believe my insomnia (which has stemmed from my anxiety about not being able to find something) has made me pre-diabetic. Emotionally, I've lost a lot of confidence and even started thinking that I have no skills to offer anyone.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I can't honestly say I was ever happy in my career so I do not know what that feeling is like. But I'm guessing that if I were happy in my career, I would feel stable and satisfied. I wouldn't have any fears that I may never find another job.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've exhausted all avenues of help, whether it's in regards to revamping resumes and optimizing my LinkedIn page. Friends can only do so much. I've tried myself and feel overwhelmed most of the time because EVERYTHING right now is a possibility but no door seems to be open, not even a crack. So I feel stuck and can't seem to move forward. It feels like I'm just going in circles expecting different things.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I don't know. If I knew that answer, I'd be motivated to attend grad school or figure out a way to do something else. I'd like to find out my strengths and weaknesses in business to know where I fit.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I don't feel motivated in my current job and my current employer doesnt pay me enough. On top of that,my industry isn't doing very well. The changes are a bit overwhelming.
What do you want instead?Everything overall is okay. My mood isn't great on a daily basis and friends think I'm sad. Money isn't where I want/need it to be.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Much easier and enjoyable

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Today, I am a product manager at a bank. I have managed Online Banking and Online Bill Payment services over the last 20 years. I don't know for sure what I want to do instead. I did an extensive career evaluation years ago. It pointed to careers where I'm more of an independent agent and people come to me as an expert. Such as lawyer, teacher, psychologist, or journalist.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Being happy with my work due to lack of management support and perhaps also the work itself. Perhaps it is too detailed and/or technical and perhaps I enjoy personal interaction more. I am risk averse, and while I can do formal presentations, I am more comfortable with less formal interactions.
What do you want instead?Perhaps I am less happy at the office than I should be and that spills over into my personal life. I need more time to recuperate or rest when I'm home or on weekends which makes me less likely to do things, plan or reach out to friends.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd look forward to waking up and starting my work. I'd feel more energized when I get home. I'd feel a stronger sense of purpose and I would enjoy work more.
What is causing you to seek help right now?My company reorganized due to business conditions and my position was eliminated. I will get a year of severance. I have been recruited by colleagues that like me and respect my work to accept a new position in the Commercial side of the bank. I feel I should leave the bank as that was my original decision back on February. But I'm am getting a lot of pressure from my colleague and friend to accept a new and interesting position on the commercial side. She says I should just take the position, and I can still look for another job. If I do that, I will not get the 1 year of severance pay.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Get back to my field, the one I have worked so hard to stayed and developed for the past 10 years and get compensated for what I deserve.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have come pretty far in my academic career. I hold a B.Sc, a M.Sc, and a Ph.D degree. I have been doing just fine in Europe and then my husband got transferred for work to the USA (Santa Barbara-CA). I has been 8 months since I started looking for a job in the US... For the first 6 months, I only managed to get temporary clerical jobs through a staffing firm. I was paid an average of 15 dollars the hour. I took those jobs only because I needed to get out of the house and get some income.
What do you want instead?Being in the states have been professionally frustrating for me. With my education and background in research, I could be in a pharmaceutical company or life science research company, probably making around 30 to 35 dollars the hour....yet here I am, unable to convince hiring managers.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?More relaxed.... mentally speaking.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am desperate to try alone and get no where.....also, I am tired of spending so much time adjusting and re-adjusting my resume and cover letter and yet hear nothing. I do not know Santa Barbara or surroundings, don't know many companies around and the worse part, I do not have the networking.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?A job that is compatible with my husband's job/career that allows us to have time together, especially on weekends, and time for other interests and goals: health, travel, house projects and investing. We may relocate at some point in the future, so I want to pursue something that would give me transferrable experience. I have been extensively researching becoming a Financial Advisor. I need to do something not necessarily for the money but to keep my mind and skills active and expanding and having interaction with people (adults).
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Currently, I'm figuring out what I want to do. I was a Controller at Republic Services for almost 10 years here in LA and went as far as I could without being able to relocate. A former Area President from Republic asked me to be his Controller at a new Athens company but left that position soon after accepting due to a number of reasons.
What do you want instead?I have worked since I was 16 through college and grad school so not having a job is a big change after so many years. We have followed my husband's career across the country through 4 states, almost to Europe last year and are at a point where it may not make sense to continue to pursue an accounting/finance position. I wasn't happy at Republic or Athens due to the non-rewarding fixed, long hours impacting my health and many schedule conflicts planning travel.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?A rewarding job that includes people I enjoy interacting with. I define rewarding as having a meaningful impact for what I do and being appropriately compensated for that. In terms of compensation, money isn't the only driving factor, flexibility i.e. not expected to be at the office late or weekend hours and instead being able to work remotely from home as well as vacation time. Workplace location is also an important factor without a long, arduous commute within a safe area.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Given that there is a sales factor in becoming a Financial Advisor, I'm not sure if I can do that (limiting belief) since the only sales experience I've had is selling kitchen towels door-to-door in my small home town to raise money for my band. I've also thought about consulting and have several ideas but don't know the viability of them.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?- a role where my skills are applied and where I feel valued - a role where I learn and apply knowledge - a role that challenges me professionally, growth - a career trajectory/path - a role that is rewarding. I want to wake up excited to do what I do
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?- getting myself back into leadership. I took a step away to focus on family when my daughter was born, she's almost 7 now and I'm ready to get back to strategy and leadership. - Securing an interview. I've got a great background relative to my field of work as well as solid accomplishments, but I can't seem to barely generate interest in that initial dialogue - Career Growth. I've been in sales, leadership and some engineering my entire career. I am not interested in being in a sales role or low level sales management for the next 20 years. I should be at the VP level by now...need to find a path to it. - I don't want to be pigeon holed into sales, leadership or otherwise. I have interests in product, marketing, strategy, operations, etc. Need to find a way for others to understand this and not view me as merely a sales guy or a sales leader.
What do you want instead?- I tend to focus too much on my work/role defining who I am. I recognize this but it hasn't stopped me recently from being rather unhappy given some changes at my current work - The above generally leads to a suppressed desire to wake up and "kill it" at the gym or running. I recognize this is a perspective that I control, but I haven't broken through it in the last two weeks - Money was pretty good in 2017, given the job changes this year it represents a giant question mark - Relationships are fine...happy marriage, happy kid, etc. I need to be happier though to help maintain - That said I feel generally stagnated professionally...never been here before!
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Most everything would feel like it is in equilibrium. My foundation to provide would be strong which would enable to me to place more focus on growth, my family and helping others around me grow and succeed.
What is causing you to seek help right now?As mentioned above, I have a general feeling of stagnation. My skills are well beyond the role I'm in but I haven't been able to find a better spot within my organization or with other companies. I'm frustrated and a bit concerned and somewhat disengaged.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Transitioning to a Business Development role from an Operations and Engineering background.
What do you want instead?I've reached a cross roads with my current career. I no longer find the pure operations and engineering positions exciting or interesting. My current position has afford me the chance to work in some BD and marketing aspects and I have found them to be quite full filling.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Much more enjoyable. I would be able to find some meaning in my career.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I currently work in marketing for a non-profit. I would like to move into the entertainment industry, specifically film as either a producer or director- (far stretch from what I currently do, I know). But, in my current position I direct a program that teaches girls about media production, creating, writing, editing, etc. I’ve found that this is where I’m most fulfilled.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Breaking into the enetertainment industry and being very early on in my career.
What do you want instead?I feel unfulfilled in my life currently. I have a bit of jealousy towards my peers that are fulfilling their dreams and working at their dream company.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?To answer this question honestly...I don’t know. I’ve focused so much on what I don’t like about my current position that I haven’t really thought about what my life would be like if I were happy in my career. I’d imagine, I’d feel at peace. I’d be a happier mother, fiancé, daughter, and friend.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel completely stuck. I feel like I’ve exhausted all of my resources and I am still having no luck. I’ve reached out to mentors, peers, updated my resume. I job hunt and apply everyday, but yet I can’t even get an interview.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I'd like to be able to organize my work and meet deadlines without the habitual "final days rush". Also I would like to have better communication skills as well as presentation. I think I have identified my career path and I believe I know what I want to do based on my skills. I have compared myself to profiles of jobs out there and I find myself in a certain niche in which I would like to develop.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am currently finishing my bachelor degree in Industrial/Product design and I do know my strengths. or at least I think I do, but like most people I do believe that I have certain limitations in areas such as presentation, and communication. Also I have worked as a designer in many fields before and I have learned that sometimes I tend to get bored of projects if they're not sufficiently challenging or dynamic. At this point of my career where I am just getting my Bachelors I need to understand whats ahead, what is the market like, what am I going to be faced with and how can I overcome the adversity of competing with thousands of other designers. Also how can I make my work stand out from the rest. And how could I possibly be unique without being "too much of a risk" to a company.
What do you want instead?I would say so, I tend to have issues organizing myself and prioritizing why needs to get done, I tend to procrastinate (as many designers do) and often times I find myself running out of time. I always deliver a good product but I believe it could always be better.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Well I sure this answer is similar for most people, it would mean everything. To me the mere thought of being paid for my ideas sounds like an incredible reality. As a designer I don't believe that your personal life and work should be separate, when you are a designer you embody it and every single aspect of your life is affected by it. An accountant goes home and at home he is not an accountant anymore, a designer is constantly thinking and ideating, imaging and prototyping (on an etherial sense). To be able to be paid for being who I am would be the ultimate achievement in which I would have a constant sense of fulfillment which will continue to motivate me indefinitely.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am about five months from graduating and I believe it is a good time to begin the job searching and also good timing to see what my options are.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Honestly, I’m ready to reach my true potential. It’s scary because I know it’s big. I want abundance in all areas of my life. I want to have a successful business doing what I love and helping people. I’m a single mom and I want my eight-year-old son to see me thrive. I want to shift how I think and feel about business. I want to release any fear and desperation concerning money.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I’ve had my business since 1999. It’s never truly gotten off the ground. I don’t really know how to run a business, but I know what I do is why I’m here. My challenges are... marketing, integration of what I do -I’m a psychic medium and animal communicator and I specialize in highly aggressive dogs. I’ve kept the psychic part separated for all this time so I didn’t scare away clients, but the reason I get amazing results is my psychic abilities.
What do you want instead?I’m barely able to pay my rent right now. My lack of taking responsibility for my blocks to success has gotten me to this point. I’m officially done with ‘lack mentality’ and I’m ready to get very honest with myself and make major change.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I already love what I do. I would like a life that isn’t paycheck to paycheck.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am finally ready to expand my comfort zone in a big way. I left an abusive relationship a few years ago and my rock bottom has come and gone. I’m on the upswing now and determined to allow myself the abundance I deserve.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?This current job that I am in is a result of circumstance. I was working for the company as a designer for almost three years doing door-to-door sales. It started off as a part-time gig because I was pursuing a career as a professional actor for a total of about 5 years. I gradually got better at my job as a salesperson, and when I finally was at a crossroads about two years ago, trying to figure out what I would do post-acting career, this position of sales manager was offered to me. I needed a steady income and to pay off my student loans and feel financially secure. For the longest time I was certain that “what I wanted to be” was a storyteller in the entertainment industry. It was an evolutionary creative process that unfolded throughout college. I loved movies and characters ever since I was about six or seven years old. However, I never pursued a creative path in grade school or high school because it was never an option. In other words, I was not in any sort of Drama or Film Club or involved in any productions. As a senior in high school in 2004 I applied to and was accepted into U.S.C.’s School of Architecture. It was the closest thing I could think of that combined all of my academic abilities and creative inclinations such as math, drawing, designing, etc. I survived a semester and quickly decided that I needed to change my major. I transferred to the School of Theatre and was admitted into the B.F.A. Design program. My sophomore year I picked up a minor in Cinema Television after serving as a Production Designer on a student senior thesis short film. By my senior year, my love for screen productions had outgrown my interest in staged productions. I therefore applied to a postgraduate program in Film and TV Production in Bristol, UK. There I was one of 3 students chosen out of about 15 total, British and international students, to serve as the director of a graduate thesis film. By then I knew that when I got back to Los Angeles I would be working in this capacity as an actor-director for many years to come. This was 2009 and when I arrived back to my hometown I started work as a post-production (Editing Department) assistant for “Secret Life of the American Teenager,” an episodic teen dramedy for ABC Family. While I was working on the Warner Brothers lot, my passion for acting grew even more, and I started taking acting classes at night. I felt that to be a good director, I needed to also be a good actor. Over the next couple years, as I took more and more classes and the TV show was eventually cancelled, I went full-force as a professional actor. While I worked all sorts of side jobs over the years, I eventually signed with an agent and talent manager and life was starting to feel good professionally. I was going on auditions and slowly started booking acting gigs (my acting/tv/film resume can be found on IMDb). I had some decent early successes but the financial uncertainty of pursuing a career in acting started to really take a toll. I finally arrived at the aforementioned crossroads in 2015. I started my current position in September 2016. What do I want to do instead? Definitely something creative. Advertising industry perhaps? Media? Back to Hollywood as a Development or Production Executive?
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Currently I manage a team of about twenty outside sales people (called “Designers”) for Closet World, Inc. The company is a subsidiary of Home Organizers, Inc. and the corporate office is in Whittier, CA. I am primarily responsible for sales in the Los Angeles territory. My overall job description is to generate sales for the company through the management of company assigned leads to our designers. My day to day responsibilities include: scheduling appointments and managing employee schedules; recruiting new designers (salespeople) every month; interviewing and hiring new designers every month; training designers; communicating with designers in the field via phone calls and emails throughout the day to manage accounts and bring in sales; participate in monthly Sales Managers’ meetings to report prior month performance and sales results to Executive VP of Sales and President of the company; dealing with client issues and customer service-related tasks either directly with clients or through the manufacturing and installation department of the company. I am excessively micromanaged in my current position. This does not allow room for creative thinking or problem solving. The atmosphere in my corporate workplace is very cut-and-dry and “policies-and-procedures” driven. There is a sense of constant stress and apprehension because of my extremely strict and controlling boss (the Executive VP of Sales). She runs the entire department and nothing gets done without with her explicit approval (i.e., there is virtually no autonomy). She monitors our phone calls with employees in the field and even interrupts live conversations to reprimand managers. There is also definitely a dynamic of favoritism, which harbors sycophantic behavior on the part of my colleagues. Everyone is looking to impress the boss and not necessarily thinking for him or herself. I also do not enjoy the documenting/disciplining aspect of my managerial position. I constantly have to write employees up for poor sales performance, negligence in management of company assigned leads, not following training, etc. My employees are highly sensitive commission sales people (like I once was) and there is high turnover. Therefore by the time I get one employee to finally “figure it out” and feel successful at their job, another one of our salespeople quits. This is why we are constantly recruiting and training, and our company can feel like a hiring mill at times, and I can feel like a hamster on a spinning wheel. Ultimately, it is a numbers driven job and there is no sense that I am working for something bigger, more meaningful. I am stuck at a desk, managing people through the phone and emails, and tracking numbers all day. If my team’s collective closing ratio is above 50%, I’m having a good day; if not, then I am having a bad one. I definitely do not enjoy that aspect of my job most days.
What do you want instead?In short: I know that I am not using my natural talents or maximizing my potential to truly do meaningful work. Though I am finally making a decent steady income, I am not happy or fulfilled. It feels like I am constantly suppressing my natural being when I step into my workplace. My girlfriend has been keeping me sane for the last year or so as a personal sounding board and "shrink"; she is such a beautiful and reassuring soul but I want to be her rock. I need to get my mojo back.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be motivating and helping others. I would be creating ALL THE TIME. I would be showering my girlfriend with incessant gifts and love and propose to her. I would start my own venture and never look back.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am stuck and feel like my natural confidence is waning. I need to make a move ASAP because my mental and emotional well-being is seriously at stake.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to find a challenging yet healthy work environment where I can continue to grow, live comfortably (financially) again, and yet create some degree of work/life balance so I can get in better physical shape and resume volunteer work in some capacity where needed.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Right now, my inability to have potential employers contact me after applying and submitting an application. Based on my past experiences and success to date, I am attempting to transition back to marketing however after 4 years in real estate and the fact that I am now 55 years old, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to even be interviewed.
What do you want instead?These challenges have impacted every facet of my life -- I have become financially dependent on my partner, exhausted most of my savings and the stress and anxiety have severely impacted my physical health, my confidence and self-esteem.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I were happy in my career, I believe my personal relationships and my overall outlook on life would improve exponentially. My partner and I haven't had a "real" vacation in nearly 9 years due to family obligations (ailing parents) and lack of "disposable" income.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I consider myself self-aware enough to know that I have exhausted most of my own resources to turn the corner and it is not happening. I need professional help to fully assess, guide and instruct me on new ways of approaching my situation and how to best move forward.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would love to understand what I should do and get some kind of direction. I would love work on my self-confidence (always have had low self-esteem) and maybe the process that I'm taking for applying to jobs is all wrong. I say job as I'm at a point where a job would be great as I know that I'm not moving forward. Maybe I need more schooling. Maybe I'm not trying hard enough and therefore I procrastinate too much.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Currently, I dont have one as I have just moved to LA however I never liked what I was doing in the past and was thinking about a career change. I have been struggling with what career/jobs I should get into as currently I'm not moving forward. I don't know my strengths and I might play into my weakness too much.
What do you want instead?Being lost and not having a career/job have impacted my life in a few ways. I feel more depressed here and there and therefore my self confidence has taken a major hit. I believe that this is directly related to not having a job. I'm home too much and putting a strain on my girlfriend as she see that I'm not progressing yet still supportive. I feel ashamed that I still don't have any kind of career/job as its been 6 months since I moving out here. And yes, not having a job does hurt the wallet.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My confidence would increase. Having more self-esteem, I would be happier, because currently don't get out of the house much because I'm sacred of things of getting out of my "comfort zone." Having a career, would give me more confidence in social settings and or experiencing new things. I would also feel like I would be fully contributing to the community.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I need direction so someone that can show me what my strengths overcome my self-confidence issues are and how I can get a career/job that I would enjoy. I might be applying to jobs all wrong and maybe I'm too under qualified.

What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm feeling stuck and like I'm not going in the right direction with my career. I'm at a mid-point in life and want to take steps to make some course corrections rather than continuing as-is for the remainder of my career.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I am ready to kick start my search for a new job as Vice President, Organizational Development or Vice President of Research Operations in Austin, Texas. I am motivated, more than ready and ultra-qualified to move forward to a new level of career success... but my job search techniques is not getting any results. I have set a new intention. My intention is to be more selective about my next career move versus feeling desperate to jump at the very next thing that comes along. I am ready and willing to really go after what I really want to do and stop settling for a job that gives me paycheck. In order for me to manifest the above intentions, I need to find an Executive level career coach who's an expert in building result driven resumes that communicates my value and strengths. My goal is to land a VP position with a conpany that is a great for, compensates me well and are ready to appreciate the gifts and talents I bring to the team by June 2018.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Several things spring to mind. It can vary depending on where I was at that point in my career. Knowing how and when to pursue what I really want versus always picking the low hanging fruits. Knowing how to weed out companies and leaders that are not a good fit for my leadership style and career goals Knowing how to not choose bosses that are more focused on their career than their teamsEmbrace being the “youngest” leader in the room for most of my careerNot understanding how the “game” was being played and what it would take to get promotedHaving the right relationships and mentorsNot negotiating as well as I could haveNot having the career conversation soonerNot shaping my value case or creating and articulating my leadership brandKnowing when and having the courage to speam truth to power - transition out of a company and join anotherAssessing companies to see if they're a good cultural fit This list could go on, but instead I will summarize the pattern -The biggest challenge in my career has been myself! It has also been my biggest asset as I’m aware of it. Overtime I have looked at each “challenge” as an opportunity to better understand what is going on in my brain and how to change this dynamics. I need to learn- embrace - articulate my worth
What do you want instead?I avoid building relationships as much as possible. My social life sucks. I've been single for 7 years.... I'm struggling financially as a single mom raising three children - Im ready to be in better shape and I do my best to remain optimistic... believing that God is opening new doors for me and now I need to position myself to walk in confidently and shine. I am ready to soar my career
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be able to spend more time, travel internationallt with my kids, volunteer at my favorite organization that helps abuse women movr to self independence, give to my favoritr charity, and share more of my leadership knowledge to help up and coming leaders grow and thrive in their career
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am ready to soar!

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to a job that I am passionate about, and one that is meaningful. Equally important, is to find the right career where I can utilise my skills and experience.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I don't know what I want. I do know what I did in the past was not fulfilling. I just closed down my own company after running it for 10 years. I am lost and need guidance. I am 45 years old, and cannot afford to get into the wrong career. I also have a family with three kids to support so the financial aspect is very important.
What do you want instead?They have put a strain on my relationships with friends as I became more and more secluded. Also, my company had lots of ups and downs throughout the past 10 years, which put a lot of pressure on my relationship with myself. Of course, all this affected my overall happiness and positive outlook to life. On the other side, I have been blessed with an amazing wife and three beautiful and healthy children, which always keeping going.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My life would be full of energy, excitement and drive. I am a passionate and ambitious person, so I just need the right career to kickstart my drive and ignite my passion to work. Then I will be happy because as mentioned earlier, I already have the most important things in life (my family).
What is causing you to seek help right now?Several reasons: 1. I don't know what I want to do 2. I don't know what I am capable of doing 3. I lack confidence going back to the corporate world after running my own business for 10 years

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Not sure. At a crossroads to question if I’m down the wrong path or wrong company culture. At a point to invest in self to figure it out. Thought of working towards becoming a CEO or starting own business.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?There are a few things: 1) Obtaining the needed mentorship to advance executive leadership skills; 2) other people taking credit for your work/ ideas leaving you feeling the need to prove value to organization; 3) momentum for continual advancement without self-promotion; 4) work life balance and expectation to be continually available (including PTO); 5) confidence to move to next level; and 6) consistent job satisfaction.
What do you want instead?Happiness level and gratification is low. Lots of relativity to happiness at work and happiness at home. Work tends to be a distraction and impacts mood regularly. Tend to feel misaligned with type of work and personality even though opportunity seems there.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?It would seem that work would be effortless, I’d have energy for other important people in my life, more sense of accomplishment and gratification, more positive and grateful
What is causing you to seek help right now?I’m without answers and been struggling with my 5year plan which I’ve had up until now. Also, I have opportunity in current job to prove self and develop a new role of increased responsibility.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I am not sure what my next career should be. I want a better work/life balance and a shorter commute. I want to feel a sense of fulfillment when I go to work each day.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am feeling stuck in my current career and am ready to move on to something else. I have become too comfortable doing a job that I don’t particularly enjoy or find fulfilling. My fear of taking a risk to find something new is holding me back.
What do you want instead?My job has been a constant source of stress and unhappiness (going on years). It saps my energy in ways that prevent me from being the most present and engaged father and husband. The long hours of sitting and stress have resulted in chronic back pain.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My life would improve dramatically if I were happy in my career. I believe I would be physically healthier and feel a sense of fulfillment. I would be a better husband and father by not feeling overly stressed all the time.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have grown frustrated with sending in resumes and cover letters without any tangible results. I have worked with recruiting agencies and have not had success with them, either. I have realized that a new job is not going to magically appear and that I must take action now.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?A job that’s important to me where I can be successful doing good things and enjoy myself at the same time. A job that meets my financial goals, lifts my spirits and enriches my personal life.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Getting work that adds fuel rather than drawings my tank. Renewed interest in my field or a related field where I have real passion for the work. Finding a career niche that fits my values and higher goals.
What do you want instead?Don’t enjoy going to work as I used to. Dont’ feel like I’m doing something worthwhile with the career time I have left before “retirement”. Don’t feel sufficiently secure financially.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Secure, balanced, sustainable, healthy, satisfying.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Started the process some time ago after major life changing/stressful events (loss of spouse, loss of family members, changed jobs, moved) that forced me to re-evaluate my path and think about how aI wanted to spend the “second half” of my career. Internally I had a significant shift of perspective/values where what used to be important and challenging no longer held interest.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to wake up and not feel dread. I know I may not be super passionate about my job but there are other political aspects of my boss and company that also make me unhappy. I would love to somehow be able to take my strengths and also apply them elsewhere in a different industry or role, perhaps one I’m more passionate about Like music.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I no longer feel motivated doing what I do. I have also stopped learning and fear I may become no longer as valuable as I used to be. In addition, I don’t feel very passionate about my work. In the past it was a way to pay the bills while I pursued music, but now I’m realizing I need to be more stimulated even when I’m not doing music.
What do you want instead?I recently moved to Los Angeles from NYC 2 years ago, and it’s impacting how I view the move. It’s making me feel negatively about my decision without me giving working in LA (at a company and job I MAY like) a real chance.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I wouldn’t be worrying about it so much which would put my mind more at ease, and I would have more confidence.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel like I’ve hit a wall. I’ve never considered doing this until a few friends (both over 35 like me) tried it and completely changed careers and are both happy about it.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to know that I will have enough work and enough money to take a vacation with my family once a year without feeling like I'm gambling away my opportunities by doing so. I want opportunities coming to me instead of having to scramble every 2, 6, or 12 months to find new work. I want to work on something that impacts peoples lives and KNOW that the people I work with respect my input. To feel valued. To work with a fun, honest and smart group of people.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Standing out from the crowd. Being a part of something that makes me feel like I'm contributing something of value to society. Commuting for up to 3 hours a day is impacting the time I used to spend running and hiking. Finding work that is close to home and pays well enough to afford rent on a modest home in a safe neighborhood.
What do you want instead?Nearly half of my pay is spent on rent. I'm basically working for the weekend. I don't exercise as much as I'd like. Sometimes I feel forced to take on extra work to help create a cushion of cash which means I sleep less and I'm working all of the time.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I will not be trading all of my time for money. I will be comfortably working on side projects or hobbies without fear of wasting time that should be spent working on getting a new job.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I know I need to strengthen my personal brand. To gain clarity on where I should be taking my career. Because, once again, I find myself with less than 3 months left in a contract with little to no leads on where I'll be working next.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?As of this moment, I am feeling as if I'm stuck at my current job with no clear sight of upward mobility. I'm maxed out! I'm bored. I don't feel like this is worth my time anymore. It is too easy for me. I can do so much more and offer so much more. FRUSTRATING
What do you want instead?Money-wise, I am making 1/3 of what my wife is making. I am not happy at all because I know I can do more. I am capable of doing more. I can and I am willing to do more.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I am managing a team that helping my company moving forward in the right trajectory and my contribution isn't just about the company, but the growth of my team as well. I'm making ok money, with clear sight of recognition and upward mobility
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have gone out of my way to study on my own time paying by my own money to obtain more certifications, yet I'm still pretty much at the same time at a dead-end job that does not require me exercising any part of my braincells.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to have a job that is challenging and takes advantage of my strengths, but I also want time to explore my other interests, filmmaking and writing. A big reason I moved to LA was that I write film and tv scripts, as yet unproduced, with my writing partner. Still, I'm fifty, and I need a job with benefits that will allow me to jumpstart my retirement savings. I've considered looking into a job in entertainment, but writers often get jobs outside the industry because they do need time to write.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I think that in the past I have underestimated or downplayed my abilities. When I had a film degree and a master's in English I didn't strive for something beyond the obvious: teaching. On returning to school at 47 to get my MBA I saw that I was able to do compete with my fellow students. And I have always been successful in my jobs. Still, right now I'm older and starting a new career with new ambitions and I do have a work gap which I need to account for when I present myself.
What do you want instead?I have no debt, but I am well behind on my retirement goals. Also, I'm divorced but now in a serious relationship. Moving forward with our lives is difficult while I'm unemployed, and the uncertainty is definitely causing me stress. I'm not unhappy, but I am frustrated as I don't think I have been able to come up with a clear plan for myself. When I have that I feel like I will be successful in moving forward.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would have a job that played to my strengths, paid me what I deserved for my talent and experience and gave me the right balance of work and time to continue my writing.
What is causing you to seek help right now?With the completion of my MBA I feel I should have many more opportunities career-wise, but I seem stuck in a fairly narrow outlook for myself. Also, I've only had to search for a career-track type job once in my life and I can feel that I just don't have the experience to do this right.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Direction. Work life balance. Reach more of potential.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I've hit an end point in my current career (we were just all laid off) and I'm realizing I might like to do a career change. In the past, I've not been assertive enough to reach my potential, and I've lacked leadership and people management skills so I've not been able to take on bigger roles. The challenge has been I've not worked with enough people who are 'better' than me in these areas so I've not found a good learning opportunity for those areas (others have been great - I've advanced a lot in work alone major project success). I'm researching what to do next but I'm a little stuck because I don't quite know what to call what I'm good at, and I don't know what I might be good at with some mentoring in the management area, so I'm not certain what path to pursue.
What do you want instead?Same as everyone probably! Want to contribute more, want to stay mentally active, learn, meet new people, be happy and reaching potential in work but I'm in stagnant land right now. Additionally, because I don't think about money a lot, I'm concerned I'm not assertive enough to make a good income (for a safe place to live with extras for fun). I think I undersell myself a lot.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Make enough money to be safe and happy (bills covered without stress, decent living place, extra left over for some fun and retirement).
What is causing you to seek help right now?We were all laid off from our company - a position I loved and designed for myself which utilized my wide variety of background skills. Now I'm thinking of leaving the entertainment industry but I'm not sure how to get started. I'm also unsure how to package my wide variety of background skills into something that shows a prospective employer I have a good attitude and am ready and willing to help, learn, and contribute to the project (or the planet - in the case of Earth and Space sciences).

What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be busy, make really good money, have a good amount of vacation and have a good internal company network that felt good to be a part of everyday.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel stuck, I've been trying for years, had tons of mentors, supporters and sponsor all to no avail. I'm definitely at a precipice and I'm hoping this can help me get to the next level.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I am looking to leverage my experiences and make a career change. I currently work in advertising sales for a major Cable network and looking to leverage that experience for consulting roles as well as begin to transition out of the advertising industry. I know I would like to get into public speaking as well as writing but need help with branding myself and creating a roadmap for these transitions.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenge currently is that I do not have any passion or frankly interest in my current career (currently working TV advertising). I find littler "purpose" in my day to day besides literally "make money" (I work in a sales role). I would like to transition out of the industry but leverage my skills to do without having to take too much of a payout.
What do you want instead?I find that though on paper I have found success (particularly for my age), I cannot see myself working in this career another year, let alone my life. I have felt this way now for over 2 years and I feel stuck. This stuck feeling has caused me not to appreciate life outside of work as much as I would like because essentially I know I desire to build a "work/life integration" within my career as I would like to be passionate about what I do for work.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I know I would be able to actually enjoy the fruits of my labor instead of feeling almost a victim to the fruits because I know I dread the current "labor." I believe all lives serve a purpose and I would find my joy knowing I work in a capacity that best fits my purpose and personality.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am confused as to how to brand myself to transition from a full time role, into a consulting, writing and public speaking role. Essentially I need help writing and telling my "brand story" to better sell myself. I do not want to be kept in the box of my current role due to my experience within the one field of advertising.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want people to see me as a promising prospect--a bright young talent--rather than just a nice guy who gets the job done. I would like to see myself take more initiative to promote myself within the organization and within my professional networks. I would like to develop more mentor relationships both within my organization and professional networks with people who would like to see me succeed professionally.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?The biggest challenge is that, while people seem to see me as reasonably competent, no one seems to view me as a good prospect--that is, a good worker, but not someone with real growth potential. I see colleagues around me whose level of talent seems roughly equivalent to mine getting opportunities for big projects and being taken on as mentees, but I feel that no one really sees a lot of (to use a sports analogy) upside in moving me up in the organization.
What do you want instead?I feel like I am not living up to my full potential, and I feel somewhat lost in terms of how to fix it. I'm fortunate to have a very supportive spouse who really believes in me, but I do fear that my (real or perceived) inability to move forward--and my constant feeling of treading water--will wind up disappointing her and all the other people who believe in me as well
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I don't need to be "The Man" today--I'm still relatively junior and feel like there are many things that I'm still learning. But I would want to feel that I'm being groomed as a prospective leader, that I'm appreciated for both the competent work I do within the organization as well as my future potential. I would have a network of mentors who are invested in my success, and the ability to leverage my network into new opportunities.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have been trying for some time to break into a new field, trying to network in that field and get to know some folks. But I don't seem to be gaining any traction, and despite my continuing to appear at all the right events and meet many of the right people, I haven't succeeded in gaining any real contacts in the field that I can leverage into anything meaningful.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like to figure out a proper direction and I would also like to change jobs as soon as possible. What I want is to be passionate about what I do, feel like I'm making a difference and would like to make good money. Eventually I would like to start my own company ( i think ) i have also considered an MBA/ Masters as right now I just have an undergrad but i do not even know if I would be doing that for the right reasons. I would like to be part of a company that I truly care about and that is growing fast and I also need to meet a new group of people that I can learn from which I would hope to find if I changed jobs. I do not want to work for the corporate world anymore ( perhaps for another 2 years ) but long term I would like to be able to make my own hours, travel etc, have personal and financial freedom.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I do not have a direction and I am not sure what I want long term. The companies I have worked for in my career have all been good, great benefits, great people, treated me well etc but in terms of the role itself within these companies I have never been passionate about and while I have acquired some great skills from my current job and job before it is not what I want long term. Right now I am not learning in my job anymore at all and I need to change jobs as soon as possible. Another challenge I face is that I am not sure where I want to be location wise long term- I got transferred to LA for work originally and have stayed here but I do not know if I want to move back to where I am from etc or not hence I think I should be mindful of that in terms of my next career move as I would like more freedom.
What do you want instead?Of the 4 mentioned above I would say I am happy but I am not fulfilled at all right now which I guess is affecting my relationships in that I am angry etc and I feel stuck in a rut. I do not feel like I am growing or learning anymore.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be happier all round, with my personal life. I would feel like I was going somewhere/ had direction/ was helping others/ helping the world.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am at a turning point, I have needed a new chapter for a while now. I not only need to change jobs but I need to figure out what my path actually is and I may also need to change location but I am unsure of that as of now.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?1)I want to be based in LA and do international-oriented project worldwide, eventually start my own media and entertainment fund; 2) I want to have a high-quality relationship and finally start a family and have children.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?1)My U.S.-China business development experience in both media and technology and how to transfer it to a unique strength and bring me to the next-level. 2)I don't want to be limited to traditional media professional category in just PR or marketing, my true strength is business intelligence sourcing, partnership development, and full execution. 3) I really want to split my time between U.S. and China, not just limited to one market.
What do you want instead?I have moved and relocated several times during the past ten years (Guangzhou-Hong Kong- Beijing- St. Louis- New York- Beijing- Shenzhen-Los Angeles), the pull and struggling of relocation between U.S. and China made me hard to keep any longterm relationship and eventually start a family.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I will have projects that are international based but I can call LA home.
What is causing you to seek help right now?After two full circles of China-U.S relocation, I am now much more clear about my life and career picture. I realized I need some coaching to bring myself to the next level.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Bursting through the upper management plateau to become a Chief Information/Technology Officer. I have sound technical and soft skills, but I do not do a good job of parenting my personal brand and value proposition, especially on comparison to seasoned executives.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?The Executive-level studio positions tend to be sourced from within the studio, so this can be tricky to navigate.
What do you want instead?This makes the process more difficult.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?There would be a solid idea of what the 5-year plan would be.
What is causing you to seek help right now?There seems to be a disconnect with the current robo-resume process that permeates the job seeking climate.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to be a charismatic, confident leader.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I get very nervous when it comes to public speaking- people say I'm pretty good at it but I feel like I am not getting the most important parts of what needs to be said communicated due to nervousness. I believe part of this is a confidence issue. This will be career limiting as I look to become a VP (Sr. Director level currently). I also would like to become a better leader in general. I've had success leading teams but definitely have areas of improvement. Finally, I want to know what my blind spots are and what it will take to get to the "next level". I want to find the difference between "Good" and "Great" and bridge the gap.
What do you want instead?I'm extremely ambitious. It bothers me that I have gaps that I am not able to fix in the timeframe I would like. I don't want to be average- while I make a good salary and have a pretty good job, I want to get to that next level.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I probably would spend more time at work- I tend to do that when I like what I'm doing. It's not a bad thing as my significant other is similar. You spend so much time at work that you want it to be something you love. I am not in love with mediocrity.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm good at my job but I want to know what it is going to take for me to reach another level. I don't want to be a Director for the rest of my life. That said, I worry that I'm not ready for the next level. I need to become better at building my brand, communicating and leading.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I think that I want to work for a philanthropic foundation, as a philanthropic advisor, or in government relations.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?*figuring out how to navigate politics *not sure how to transition to a new career *staying positive at the moment *I feel like there must be ways to personalize my resume and cover letter for each position that aren't so time-consuming, but I don't know what they are.
What do you want instead?At the moment I am panicked because my job contract is up at the end of December and the three jobs I've interviewed for in the past month haven't come through. I need to start the application process all over again, and did submit one application on Monday and one today. I've been unemployed before because I got caught in political crossfire, and it took me 1 year to find another job (my current job) which hasn't been a great fit. I'm struggling with depression, which isn't helpful.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would feel better, which would improve my relationships. I would also have more energy.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?To feel balanced across all aspects of life, including the financial support to realize my dreams of creating a meditation retreat space.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I struggle with focusing on one path due to a multitude of passions and possibilities, while feeling that I lack depth in any particular area in order to strive for anything more "senior". I find it challenging to identify or maintain boundaries as I am generally curious and am flexible with so many things. So I tend to explore and walk a circuitous path. I probably also struggle with my ego, which makes me feel that I am staying small or not stepping up in roles that I've taken that are more fun but perhaps some steps down from roles I've had in the past.
What do you want instead?Right now my biggest real challenge is money, my income is unstable. In the past when I had stable corporate roles, the trade-off with being financially comfortable has been lack of attention and energy toward relationships, health, spirituality etc. Since I left corporate 3 years ago I have worked on a balance and feel comfortable in all aspects aside from money. This stress is challenging my ability to fully be present for partner, friends and family.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be a light for others and give more to my community, friends and family.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel stuck and lack focus on my job search, I'll like some support, encouragement and fresh ideas on how to approach the search and actually execute on it.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Meaningful work - work that is a perfect fit for me. Work that I can’t believe I am getting paid to do. Work I can blossom at and do until I am 80 if I want to.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Seeing what my greatest strengths and natural talents are, properly valuing those attributes, and knowing what it is I really want to do.
What do you want instead?I make decent money, but I wonder how long I can continue the grind for. I want more fulfillment from the work. Having a fulfilling job will impact my eating habits, sleep, energy level - actually have the energy to do things outside of work. I am not truly happy. If it weren’t for my church, I would feel a bit hopeless.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My emotional, physical, and spiritual self would reflect this. I would be vibrant, full of energy, happy, and 100% authentic. I would engage in things outside of work that are very important to me (interested in being a Deacon at my church), things I don’t have the time or energy to do now.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Turmoil at the company I work for - not certain of the future, and I can’t go back to the same tired job search - looking for jobs I am qualified for, but not truly interested in.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Meaningful work - work that is a perfect fit for me. Work that I can’t believe I am getting paid to do. Work I can blossom at and do until I am 80 if I want to.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Seeing what my greatest strengths and natural talents are, properly valuing those attributes, and knowing what it is I really want to do.
What do you want instead?I make decent money, but I wonder how long I can continue the grind for. I want more fulfillment from the work. Having a fulfilling job will impact my eating habits, sleep, energy level - actually have the energy to do things outside of work. I am not truly happy. If it weren’t for my church, I would feel a bit hopeless.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My emotional, physical, and spiritual self would reflect this. I would be vibrant, full of energy, happy, and 100% authentic. I would engage in things outside of work that are very important to me (interested in being a Deacon at my church), things I don’t have the time or energy to do now.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Turmoil at the company I work for - not certain of the future, and I can’t go back to the same tired job search - looking for jobs I am qualified for, but not truly interested in.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like to transition to a career where I can be a problem solver. I love to do what it takes to help people and organizations operate more efficiently by optimizing resources.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?1. Transitioning out of retail management which is my most recent career experience (the last 5 years) 2. Working with presenting a 12-year career gap on a resume while I was raising a family 3. Finding a career at this mid-point in my life which fully utilizes my education, skills, talents, abilities, and passion!
What do you want instead?Relationships, money, health, and happiness are compromised due to my stress from low salary, lack of intellectual stimulation, and lack of room for growth and challenge at my current position
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Financial independence. Career satisfaction knowing that I am doing what I love. Happiness from being able to help people.
What is causing you to seek help right now?My current industry is in a state of major upheaval. I have been trying unsuccessfully to figure out how to transition out of it for some time. Now I feel that time is definitely of the essence as the decision to leave this company may be made for me within a couple of months. I have been struggling with how best to position myself after having fallen into the retail industry through financial necessity after my 12-year work gap.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to shine like I did at Lexus of Glendale. that job was perfect for me!
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Applying solely based on my resume and the computer; not being able to meet in person. Not being able to define "customer Service" in a way that it will get me $50k. I feel like I have exhausted my network here in Glendale.
What do you want instead?Yes, D. all of the above. I am the luckiest person in that I have NEVER experienced anxiety in my 45 years on this planet and now I know what it feels like and I empathize with anyone going through this on a daily basis. My husband has not set out a clear "we will need you to get a job by this date paying you this much or we will have to sell the house" scenario and it scares me. He just says "we're fine for now"
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I'm with a company that provides ultimate customer service, lead by and empathetic leader, one who knows what real leadership looks like then it's not like work at all. I would feel safe knowing that I was doing my best and could rest knowing that I'm doing what I am suppose to be doing. An autonomous atmosphere works best for me. More that one week vacation a year would be ideal M-F 9-6
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm so stuck and lost.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?My dream would be to start my own business that would focus more on purpose than prosperity. If not my own business I would like to find a company whose culture and values more closely align to the areas I am passionate about.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Although I have built a strong career that has allowed me to excel both professionally and financially I have been questioning for several years whether I want to pursue the "natural next step" in my career. I feel like most of my career has been focused more on prosperity vs purpose.
What do you want instead?I am not inspired by the work that I am doing and feel like I have spent the last few years going through the motions and have somewhat numb and complacent. I have also had the nagging sense for several years that I am not living up to my potential in terms of the contribution I should be giving to others considering the opportunities that have been given to me.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?It would allow me to be more present and fulfilled in all other areas of my life. I have too often sacrificed my health and relationships for the sake of the job. I need and want to stop doing that.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have taken accountability that things won't change unless I am ready to do the work required to change it.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I'm seeking a change more than anything. Want to build on my skills in a situation where my success is rewarded fairly. I want a transparent and trusting relationship with an employer. Ideally, position myself in a growth industry in which I have interest.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Figuring out a way to pivot industries and best represent what I've done the last 10 years. Also unclear of the best positions that I'd qualify for.
What do you want instead?It feels like the biggest fork in the road in my career thus far. Definitely impacting a few close relationships and adding stress.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Excited about Monday's and have weeks filled with positive interactions with customers/co-workers. Consistently forced out of my comfort zone. Good work/life balance with a fair predictable income level. Manage a team that is collaborative goal oriented.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Not being excited about the path of my current role. Strained relationship with the owner. Young growing family with more pressure on me to have a predictable income stream for years to come.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would love to be in a career or industry that allows me to be more creative. My last job was with W Hotels, still in condominium management, but my boss encouraged me to be part of an Innovation Committee where our goal was to find creative and interesting ways to enhance the guest/resident experience. I loved that group and it allowed me to flex my style. At one point I was in charge of new bar snacks. Seemingly simple, but it was so much fun to research recipes, creative ways to display the food and then work with the GM of the restaurant to execute. I was there the other day and they served us the snacks and I joked "that's my legacy!", but really, it made me proud to see the fruition of my work. Like I said, it was such a simple, silly task, but I had so much fun. I don't know how that translates to a new career, but being able to create something and leave a mark is important to me.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I work as a Condominium Manager in the luxury market. Currently, I am struggling to stay motivated at work. My residents have paid for and deserve the best possible experience, but I am finding I just don't care that much. Their problems seem trivial and their complaints seem absurd. For example, there has recently been a long and tiring debate about the size of the menorah that we are going to put out for the holidays. A group of residents has been absolutely appalling to one another - name-calling, bullying tactics, questioning one another's faith, etc. It is exhausting and inappropriate and while I express my distaste for the behavior and try to draw boundaries, I find myself frustrated and annoyed most of the time. When I started in this industry in 2006 I was empathetic and kind. I cared about my residents and I cared about ensuring that they received the most incredible experiences. Afterall, these are people's homes and they should feel welcomed and happy to arrive each day. I truly believed that we should offer a sanctuary to our residents. Now, I find myself rolling my eyes as I read emails about complaints that the grill was not turned on in a timely manner. I am well compensated, but it simply isn't enough and not at all fulfilling.
What do you want instead?Overall I try very hard to achieve a good work/life balance, but recently I find myself making excuses to eat that cupcake or not go to the gym. I am always happy to go out and be social, but I rarely initiate the plans. If I don't have somewhere to be on my days off I am perfectly content to watch movies all day and not talk to a single person. I am the primary caregiver for my 70-year-old mother, so I have a lot of pressure to keep us both fed and housed, which is incredibly stressful. My dating life is non-existent and when I think about trying to date I am completely overwhelmed with the idea of small talk and playing that 'game'. I do think some of that has to do with my job as I have to be smiling, engaging and energetic all day, which is disingenuous to how I actually feel.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I want to have more energy. I want to hear my alarm in the morning and not dread getting out of bed, but rather be excited to get moving on another day. I would like to have more energy for a more robust social life. I would like to be financially stable and able to save money to open my own Bed & Breakfast or Inn one day.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am stuck, depressed and dreading work every single morning. I have to make a commitment to make a change because I cannot spend the next 20 years miserable in what I do.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I'd like a well-paying job in my chosen field that lasts. A job that is fulfilling.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?The past few years have been difficult in regards to being able to hold down a job. I've been a development executive in the entertainment industry for over 10 years (which is a volatile business to begin with) but the past few years I've worked at internet startups developing content, but they don't seem to last and then in between jobs it's taken about a year to get my next job. It's been a challenging and frustrating experience.
What do you want instead?These challenges are impacting my well-being, my self-esteem and in turn, my relationships with my wife and children as I'm not a happy camper most of the time. I'm full of anxiety.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd be less stressed, less anxious. More comfortable financially and more comfortable in general.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've been unemployed since January. This is the second time I've been laid off in as many years and the time between jobs has been about a year each. So, since 2014, I've been unemployed twice, each time for a year. The past year I've had 10 or so different job interviews - each interview process has gone several rounds and lasted a couple of months, and I have yet to land a job. I'm frustrated and depressed.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I am a long time (15+ years) web designer trying to transition into a UI/UX Designer role but have had a tough time. I've applied to numerous jobs and even had a few interviews but since I've never officially had a job as a UI or UX Designer I feel it's hurt me in making the switch. I do think that I have the skills and experience to make the transition but just haven't been able to put it all together.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I feel stuck right now and am not sure how to take the next step in my career. It's a bit of a transition but not too much of a difference from what I've been doing for the past 15 years. I know what I want to do, I'm just not sure how to get there. I even quit my job in March to focus full time on my career shift but haven't been successful in finding anything yet.
What do you want instead?I've allowed it to effect me negatively in every aspect of my life and can't seem to get out of my own head. I'm needing some guidance on how to get "unstuck" and back on track in my life. I've fallen into the trap of having my career define who I am and since things aren't going well in that department, I feel like everything else is off.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be MUCH happier in every aspect of my life since I would then not constantly be worrying about supporting my family and living paycheck to paycheck. It would also give me a sense of purpose, which I haven't felt in quite some time. I want a meaningful career that plays to my strengths/interests and not just a paycheck. It would also allow me to reconnect with friends and family and actually have a social life again!
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel lost and not sure what to do next. It's affected my confidence to the point where I'm constantly second-guessing myself. I've tried doing this for the most part on my own by doing things like online courses and various other methods but I'm at a point now where I need someone to really hold me accountable and help me define exactly what I need to do to be happy/successful.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?The biggest challenges I face are, finding the right fit for my varied titles and career changes. Having too little experience to move up to a mid-level position but too much experience for entry level (this is information I gathered after lengthy interviews where I felt comfortable making contact with the recruiter after getting passed over) and not having a focused search on what I really want to do.
What do you want instead?I currently work with my life partner as a freelancer, it is not ideal for our relationship and ads a lot of tension and guilt on both sides.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be happy walking in to work. I would smile and enjoy my time, I would be productive at home and feel fulfilled.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a job in data anayltics/data science.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Visibility, framing my skills and experience in the best way
What do you want instead?They're not really impacting my life. Just the normal insecurity of being unemployed, but otherwise everything is fine.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Right now my goal in finding a career is simply to settle in an area and start putting down roots. I've lived and moved a lot, and I'm just looking for something regular, steady, and interesting.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm transitioning from a former astrophysics researcher and former high school educator to a career in analytics or data science. So I just want help framing my previous experiences in a way that highlight my capabilities for these positions (resume, elevator pitch, etc.) and looking for ways to network since I am new to the area.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?1. Identify what I love doing, do it everyday while earning enough and making a difference 2. Learn and grow every day 3. Not be pressured by the demands of the title
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I just got promoted to a principal software developer at my company. The position gives leverage to identify high impact problem areas, work across multiple organizations, influence multiple teams to adopt technologies, mentor etc. Its a top level position for engineers. However I am running into the following challenges: 1. I am having trouble finding out how to start. I would like to identify and work on something of passion to me, but I don’t know as to how to go about doing that. 2. How do I network? That would be important to help identify the needs in different parts of the organization 3. I can be strong and I speak up. But I find most men to be intimidating and endless arguments stress me. I also cannot speak up, unless I know my facts. So I might appear quite in the beginning, but that is a disadvantage in this role. 4. I have led technical teams and I do well on my own. Team dynamics, particularly power struggles disgust me. 5. Even if I identify a team that has interesting work in the organization, how can I go in and establish myself as a leader right from the start? I am so used to entering teams as the underdog, working mostly on my own, shining and then emerging naturally as a leader. That worked in my other roles. But in this role, I need to establish myself as a leader right from the beginning and I find that part of it to be stressful. 6. I even wonder if this role is too much of a stretch for me, although in the previous role, I felt I was doing it far too easily and felt that I belonged somewhere better.
What do you want instead?1. Personally I feel stressed and worried that I will be a failure in this new role. I practice mindfulness, so that helps. But the stress still affects my health 2. Sometimes, the lack of fulfillment seeps into my relationships and I end up not spending quality time with my family / friends
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?1. I will feel more relaxed 2. I can then focus more on personal life 3. I will give back to other more
What is causing you to seek help right now?This is a turning point in my career. With the promotion particularly. I am at a point where I want to take the right direction and establish myself on a path where in addition to earning, I also feel fulfilled, happy and learn and grow every day in my career. I want to sow the seeds now, so that a few years from now, I can be more fulfilled and secure.

Additionally, I would really like to transition out of marketing/branding which I have some experience in, but I have been struggling to figure out what direction that is.

I have gotten to the point where I don't even know what words to type in on job search engines.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a meaningful career. I would like to play a more significant role in decision making in my work place. I want to take pride in my work. I would like live life and not just endure it.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Actually getting a career. I am pursuing a bachelors degree in business economics.Because I have to full time in order to pay for school, My grades have suffered.So when I apply for internships I have little to no marketing potential. Even through my university's career center, most of the listed internships require at least a 3.0 GPA. Overall, I need help getting my foot in the door. I know I am very capable, I just haven't had the chance.
What do you want instead?By not having a career, I do not feel like I have a meaningful impact at work; Also I am not making a reasonable amount of money. These in turn affect how I view myself and thereby affects my decisions. I avoid relationships because I am not financially stable. I can't afford the things I would like yet alone need at times. My stress levels take a toll on my happiness, and ultimately my overall health.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I think my life would be meaningful. I would feel like I would have a purpose.I think I would be happy in life in general.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am considered a super senior. I have changed my major twice and settled on an economics major because I felt slightly interested in the subject and also because it sounds impressive. I had little to no direction in life in general. I come from a broken working class family. The only thing I know is how to survive. I have struggled with school and work without any direction. I have been in and out of school for the last 10 years...I tired...I just turned 29. Everyday that goes by I feel like my chances of changing my life of for the better grow slimmer and slimmer

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?A feeling or clear sense of purpose; to have a clear path forward and a challenging job or career that I am passionate about - one that is rewarding from both an intellectual and compensation level, and utilizes my skills and provides me with the flexibility I desire.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Deciding in which direction to go (continue looking for a corporate job, start my own business, etc.). I have been searching for a job for a while and have not yet been offered a job that is at the responsibility or compensation level that I require (need), and I am now at a point where I really need to decide whether or not to continue the job search or go full throttle on building my own business. If the latter, then I have decisions to make on what that business is.
What do you want instead?Negatively.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would have a clear sense of purpose, I would be fully immersed (not from a workaholic perspective, but more from a passion and sense of purpose perspective) in my job/career, I would be engaged in my community and with friends and family, I would have the income to fully support my family and others as needed, I would have the confidence that I am on the path to building a solid retirement, I would have the flexibility to travel and pursue various passions, and I would have a strong family that feels supported and engaged with each other and in their communities.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want my work life to be aligned with having a healthy nervous system. Since not knowing what will make me happy is a huge source of panic for me, I can only go in what seems like a rational direction, which is that I want more face to face interaction, meaning, physical movement, flow state, compassion, time outdoors, and helping take people out of suffering and difficulty in my career.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Going insane from isolation and too much technology, panic about not knowing what I want and the pain that comes from perpetual indecision and doubt, fear of failure, fear of loneliness, fear of insanity
What do you want instead?I am able to make good money, but I resist the work (commercial post production) the whole time. My whole life I have been striving to be a filmmaker/videoartist/musician, but experiencing a huge amount of anxiety while doing those things (all on computers) now because I have failed to find satisfying results with them for a decade, and am scared by the fact that my life seems to be playing out almost entirely on computers, alone, sexless, friendless, anxious, depressed, neurotic, edgy, drowning in the disappointment and terror of failure.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?It would free up so much of the time and energy that I spend absolutely freaking out

What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I've had that in increments, but not in total in my freelance journalism career. Money didn't match my accomplishment, unfortunately.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I love my career but finding a good fit to be an associate chiropractor (employee) is tough due to the differing practice models - most of which are quasi-medical and very unsavory to me. Additionally, the idea of starting my own chiropractic practice again doesn't feel right. I want to live in the same place as my wife (we work in separate cities now). My ability to travel for leisure is not very good at the moment and time is ticking away.
What do you want instead?Being truly excited and optimistic takes effort, not a tremendous amount but enough that ease is uncertain.

What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel the need to play on a bigger stage, not very busy in current position and wife is in another city. We need to be together.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to translate my breadth of knowledge and know-how into a smart and interesting career path. I not worried about money above all; it's more about living up to what I know I can do, whether that's in the entertainment business or not.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My background and education are in audio engineering and music. On the surface my skills in songwriting, music production, and audio engineering lend themselves to a very specific career path, however I have a lot of knowledge, experience, and I know I have the ability to engage in so many other areas. Furthermore I have attempted the entrepreneurial path for 6 years and have not gotten to where I wanted. I am insecure about being out of the job market for so long.
What do you want instead?I have been married for almost two years, and although my wife is absolutely supportive, she and I both are getting very ready to start family. I want to be able to confidently provide for that. We have a small income from her part time job and shared real estate income I receive from my family's business. But, that too, is a source of insecurity for myself because I want to be able to know that I'm really earning my own living.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My wife and I would have our first baby, and we would be financially secure. We have a nice amount of savings and want to put that towards a home and real estate investments. A happy career would mean the ability to embark on these other personal and financial goals we have, because the most obvious missing part is the income (and a professional direction).
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have spent most of this year (2017) trying to find an existing small business to buy. I thought that was the right way to go. I focused on coin laundries. I realize now I shouldn't be trying to buy a damn job, I should be trying to find a damn job, and keep the money I already have. Secondly, my wife and I getting more and more impatient with ourselves in wanting a baby. Finally, I am 30 years old now, I have attempted many thing, and the time is nigh to get this shit together.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?1. I want normal working hours (40-45 hours per week) and not constantly under stress to eat hours. 2. Go to the same place for work everyday or work remotely sometimes (audit often require long commute) 3. Work for the same boss instead of working on multiple teams and having multiple bosses competing for priority. 4. Career advancement in the entertainment industry.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?1. Dealing/Collaborating with difficult senior associates, I sometimes got yelled at and that affects my confidence greatly. 2. Most seniors ask for stuff from me without considering how much I have on my plate already, when they don't get what they want, they gave me a bad rating even though I am hardworking and try my best to satisfy all the teams' need.
What do you want instead?1. My rating was really good the first year, but I probably won't get it again this year since the management overloaded me and I cannot perform as well as I used to be. 2. My relationship with colleagues and my health got worse over the past few months because I am burned out and struggle to produce good work.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?1. I will be energetic and willing to accept challenges at work. 2. I will have the time and energy to read books/learn new skills during my down time. 3. I will have the time to work out or even get a puppy. 4. I will have the time to find a boyfriend.
What is causing you to seek help right now?1. Health condition gets worse. 2. Burnout/depression before the start of the busy season. 3. Booked on a job where the senior has been stressing me out.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I'd like to stop being the victim and take back my career power/strength. I'd like to stand up for myself in my current role - to peers and executives. I'd like to gracefully leave my organization without being considered a quitter and damaging my reputation as I may need to do it without having another job lined up. I'd like to find work within a more reasonable commute time that allows me to live out my expertise and passions while giving me more flexibility for a balanced work/life.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have a unique trifecta role w/in the department that results in being incredibly overworked, undervalued and under-supported in a highly charged studio. Being too task oriented due to bandwidth/not getting staffing so I can advance more strategic initiatives and drive new/unique results. Disconnect with my organization's practical values and my aspirations. Myself and my colleagues have compensated for under-performing colleagues and the organization hasn't held them accountable. Compounded with that, my daily round trip commute is 2.5hrs & 5 days a week.
What do you want instead?Significantly. Tension and stress at work, that I bring home...because I'm passionate about the work I do, has negatively impacted my relationships (b/c I've not set boundaries). I've gained 20 pounds, aged prematurely and have really kept to my work, my husband and my 2 kids.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Incredibly amazing as I've realized that my career is also my part hobby. It's really important to me to be fulfilled in the workplace as it affects my self-worth and energy outside of work.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've realized I want more/decisive/objective direction outside of the mentors and managers that I've had over the years. I've talked with my spouse, friends and family and everyone has different opinions. Ultimately, I'd like help to come from an un-emotional, unbiased place. Thank you

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?Finding the work/industry that I will put maximum effort in regardless of the pay. Getting the "I want to wake up and do this" attitude each morning. Finding work that will lead to life satisfaction and confidence and overall wellness.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Clarity on what industry I can do well in. What direction to choose now that I'm past my mid twenties.
What do you want instead?Feeling confused has left me lethargic and cynical about finding work that suits me. It has left me settling for any job so that I can say I have work. I began to view work as just income and meaning nothing more to my long term wellness.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would feel like getting up everyday with energy and feeling free to take on whatever challenge comes up. Work would feel like a mission or a big project to tackle.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've been idle in a customer service job that has led nowhere and haven't made any progress towards a long term career.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to find my calling, passion, and purpose. I want to serve something greater than myself or the bottom line. I believe in "living to work" and not "working to live" in the sense that if you find something you love to do than you never "work" a day in your life.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I've been hamstrung to my employer for the last 5 years (my entire career!) on a work visa, which is soon to change over the next few months. I have zero passion for the industry, company, or job role, and feel more burned out than ever. It's been a grind to make it this far and I know deep down it cannot continue.
What do you want instead?My job is the biggest source of unhappiness in my life, breeding overwhelming stress and anxiety. I bring my "baggage" home to my fiance and consistently find myself explaining to my family how miserable and lost I am.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd wake up excited, energetic, and motivated to accomplish goals, help others, and truly contribute to the world. I'd simply love what I'd be doing and take deep pride in my job, feeling as if I'm following my true calling.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I will no longer be dependent on the work visa sponsored by my current employer. I'll finally have the freedom to make a career/industry change and begin the path towards a job much more enjoyable and fulfilling.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like to be happy in my life and productive in my work. I would also like to make more money.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I apologize for the elaborate essay type answer to this question but all of this is preying on my mind. I don't know how to succeed in my career. I am not even sure how I would define what success looks like and which career I am interested in. I am sure though that I am not successful. I have had no promotion in my company which I joined 9 years ago after completing my Ph D in RF engineering (in 2008) I have worked about 3 years as an RF engineer when I got an offer to move to a different group. The manager didn't offer me any promotion but I thought that this was a more broad role that may offer me more opportunities. I spent the next 3 years on the new role as Telemetry System Engineer but I developed a design that was already created. When I asked my manager for promotion, he said that I have no design experience. I decided to pursue MBA hoping that it would give me some advancement. I started MBA at Wharton in 2014 and at the same time got an offer as a Principal RF engineer. My engineering director gave me a counter offer and an opportunity to figure out my career path on the commercial side (product manager, marketing type of role). I chose to stay at my current company. While doing MBA, I was interested in doing business consulting - however, I didn't even get an interview call. I think its because I could not get good grades. I was given exposure to a new product platform at my current company. However, I wasn't able to capitalize on this opportunity. There might be several reasons for this: I found that I didn't perform well in conflict situations. I was hoping that the product manager would allow me to shadow and help but she promptly refused. The project manager also kept me out of discussions. Ultimately my manager pulled me off to do another project to work as a Technical lead. My heart was not in this project. I applied for another position in my company that my manager found out and he was very upset that I didn't let him know. In my yearly feedback in 2015, he said that I do the work of a junior engineer. This is at least partly true as I wasn't very productive. I have been in this role for the past 3 years and currently lead a team of 15 engineers. I would like to be a manager or director but I am unable to handle conflict situations, I have lost confidence in my engineering skills. The interns that I hired have gotten to similar or higher positions compared to me. When I go to work I feel embarrassed and unable to make eye-contact with my peers. This year, my wife and I started to look into a business idea. We made some early sales but haven't been able to put much time into it since we don't have much family support to help with taking care of 1-year old twins.
What do you want instead?At the family level, my wife and I have had a really difficult time. We had to go through a lot of problems before we could have kids. We have been blessed with twins - a girl and a boy - but it has been extremely challenging to make time for work, career and family at the same time. My wife and my health is not great as well.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I could be happy in my career and would feel more satisfied in my life. Not having success in my career is spilling irritation and sadness in other domains of my life. I would also feel like I have more energy.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel overwhelmed and I don't know how to proceed further. I willing to put in effort but I don't know where.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I believe the "American Dream" is dead - it was just a marketing phrase invented by Frannie Mae to sell mortgages! Ultimately, I want financial freedom to explore the blessings that surround us while helping others. I feel like zero sectors in this economy are moving toward full-time workers, so I'm struggling to figure out a course that works for me.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have a TV Producer background and live in Los Angeles, but have struggled to find something steady after leaving E! Entertainment in 2015. I have a good network of connections, but it's been hard to lock down gigs. I applied to jobs online and got a couple of short-term contracts, but struggled to make ends meet. I began thinking that my age and experience was holding me back, so a few months ago I started a food tech company to try to make something happen. A lot of people in the restaurant industry gave our idea a positive reaction, but we're still struggling to make a splash. I have a lot of talents - (producing, selling/marketing, editing videos, directing, writing, public speaking, drumming, composing) - but still need to find a fit for me.
What do you want instead?I have felt like I am in a rut. I am very close to having to dig into my IRA savings in order to make ends meet. I'm not in a relationship because I feel less-than and don't want to put someone else through my hardships.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would have a solid life/work balance. Make enough money to live, explore the world, enjoy my surroundings, save for retirement, and give back. I would also be in a good place where I can meet someone and take them along for the ride, and eventually start a family that I can provide for.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am at the end of the line financially, and feel stuck. I think my limiting beliefs hold me back. Failures can make you stronger, but they can also beat you down. I need organization and direction, inspiration and motivation, and some clear-cut strategies and meetings/connections to take me to the next level.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a full time position that allows for flexibility (ie: ability to work from home at times or make up hours in the evenings from home if I need to come in late or leave early to take care of a child's needs). A salary of $70,000 or higher. A small team of people with whom to work. A mentor like figure. A feeling of being valued for my experiences and expertise which I bring to the table.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I think my biggest challenge is that I had my dream job. I worked for an incredible organization on the ground in a foreign country and directly seeing the impact of my work on a weekly or monthly basis. I left this position after 2 moves for my partner's career. I now live in a new city (LA/Pasadena) that seems more foreign to me than the countries I have lived in abroad. Geography is a challenge in that we live in Pasadena and it seems the interesting organizations doing good work are in Santa Monica. Downtown would be a great option. I have two small children whom I want to be present for and I want to love what I am doing again. I want to work with people. I want to transform hearts and minds. I also am feeling challenged in how to translate my skills and experiences into more broad skills and experiences to apply to interesting opportunities here in LA.
What do you want instead?I am currently working part time at a job that is kind of great in terms of flexibility, skills building and I feel quite happy for the most part. However, I want to earn more money and work with a team. And work on issues that I really care about. While the logistics of my current position are great, I don't feel 100% fulfilled (not sure that is really possible) and I want to earn more. Much of this translates into complaining and some resentment towards my partner because I can't help but place some blame on my current professional circumstances on him since we moved for his career.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be proud to speak about my new position and organization. I would feel dedicated and committed to its success. AND I would more often than not not take work stress home with me in the evenings and on the weekends and I could be mostly present for my family. I would feel appropriately compensated for my time and efforts.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I need help successfully building my networks and presenting myself effectively to organizations/institutions with whom I would like to work. I am looking for someone who is focused on career counseling as opposed to a general therapist or a friend or spouse with whom to speak about this confusing time. I want someone to hold me accountable and help me find potential good fits and clean up my application materials. I am actually ideally looking for a woman career coach who gets that period of a woman's life when she shifts from being a completely independent career focused person to a mother of small children and that tension. However, I didn't really find any Women Career coaches (lots of life coaches). I am putting this out there to hear what you think about this, how you might work with it and if you have an referrals to female colleagues who might work well here.

What is causing you to seek help right now?My goal with a career coach is to help me get unstuck in my career. I've been trying to change things on my own the past few years, but it has not worked on my own so I figured I needed help. I often get contacted by internal recruiters as well as jobs that I applied to but most of the opportunities don't make sense fiscally so I do not move forward(and the professional opportunity doesn't warrant looking into a job being paid less). I have been through a few in person interviews over the past 2 years and for some reason, but I have not been able to convince them I was the right person for the job.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?A lot of people believe in me and see my potential, but I haven't been able to get focused about my career direction. I want to learn everything, but sometimes this turns into not accomplishing anything exceptional. I want to use my talent to be prolific and gain respect for getting a lot of things done, and not just for being generally smart.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Getting clarity on my career path Finding a good fit for a job given my background (Biology degree from a non-pedigree school) Interviewing skills (confidence talking to higher ups/execs, communicating my career vision, behavioral interview questions, communicating my work history)
What do you want instead?Slight anxiety about communicating my career vision to friends, family, and employers.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd be excited to and motivated to work the long hours if I need to and attract other people to want to work with me. Outside of work, I want to be able to communicate the projects I'm working on with confidence and be able to deal with the doubters without turning them off. When the time comes to raise a family, I would want to have the confidence to know that I can navigate the balance between family and career, and not feel guilty about putting too much time into either family or work.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm having trouble narrowing my options and talking to others about my goals. I want to be really clear about my direction so that I can move confidently into the future.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?an identified career path where I can utilize all my talents which has potential for substantial earnings. I just need someone to help point me in the right direction so I can sleep at night knowing I'm putting the right effort in the right direction.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?"Is this it?" "Will this pay off?" "Does this have a rewarding future?" I don't want to settle. Having a huge school loan from a trade school for hospitality business which is hard to translate to other industries it's value. Accounting, design, strategy, HR.. plus all the other areas I've studied. It's hard to get past the gate keeper to the people I can really sell on my abilities.
What do you want instead?Money comes and goes, added stress and sleepless nights wondering where I went wrong or feeling I'm better then this. I've distanced myself from friends and colleagues cause I'm always doing something new or never feel adequate.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Successful. If I'm doing something that challenges me, motivates me and ability to shine the money will come. I believe that 100%
What is causing you to seek help right now?Brought another business in a different industry out of the dark ages. Solicited and captured huge contracts. Basically making someone else more money while I'm at the mercy of their compensation. If I had the money myself I'd start something on my own.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I'd like to get a job as a software developer.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?A little background: After earning my B.S. in Computer Engineering, instead of taking a job offer from Amazon to be a software developer, I decided to take a job that allowed me to work remotely. I used this freedom to travel the world, which I don't regret! But as I'm sure you know, trends in software development move very quickly. I worry that if I wait any longer to get into a software position, my resume will get overlooked.
What do you want instead?There isn't a problem right now, but in the future it could be.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd be a lead developer for a project that I'm proud of. I want to make a positive impact. I want to contribute something meaningful.
What is causing you to seek help right now?My resume and LinkedIn profile are terrible. I just don't know how to best present myself in the professional world, while still being authentic.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would love to have a job that keeps me excited and engaged, where I am genuinely interested in what I am working on. I'd like to have greater flexibility when it comes to where I can find work. I also would love to have a career where I don't have to be in a dark office by myself from 9 to 6 every weekday.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Lately I have felt a lack of passion and interest in what I am doing. I don't enjoy my work environment, and I'm not that interested in what I'm working on. I also don't like how job prospects for my current career are limited almost exclusively to the Los Angeles area.
What do you want instead?My health has suffered due to feeling somewhat trapped. I've been having trouble sleeping (especially on nights where I work the next day.) My fiancé has noticed me being more irritable at times as a result.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?If I was more satisfied with my career, I think it would vastly improve the quality of my life. I'm sure it would help me to feel less anxious and stressed all the time.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've been feeling less than thrilled about my work for years now, but I've stuck it out because the pay has been great. My health keeps suffering though, and I have finally realized that I can't keep going like this.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?To be reengergized in a new role or entirely new career. Feel like a participant again, adding value and earning a living.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Deciding whether to pursue an entirely new field / profession after a 30+ year career in IT / Project Management. How to build my brand or re-package my skill set to be more competitive in today's market. Overcoming age discrimination and conveying my relevance to potential employers. Breaking through fear of trying something entirely new.
What do you want instead?My relationships are strong and positive, but I do miss having interaction with work colleagues. Money is not an issue at this time; but I want to return to the world of paid employment. My health is great, but I do worry on a daily basis as to how to move forward. I feel like a spectator, not a participant. Overall happiness is good, but I am happiest when I feel productive and part of a work team and adding value.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would feel very satisfied and very balanced. Ironically I need to add work to my Work-Life equation. Most people I know are trying to work less and enjoy life more; I have the opposite challenge.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I've settled in a new area, home life has stabilized, and am ready to map out next steps. I have spent the last two months chasing opportunities in my former profession (project management) with limited success (some impediments due to my physical location) and feel I am defaulting to a prior career that my no longer serve me. I question if I am simply delaying a bigger transformation.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?identify a growth area and career path that is more meaningful and impactful while meeting the financial needs of my family
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenge is perhaps disconnect and growing out of love for what I'm doing and what we work towards. I started out in Marketing for a consumer products/entertainment company and have continued along this path for about 10 years and quite frankly, I don't feel comfortable with the product, the content, the tactics to achieve success and more sales. I've stayed pretty stagnant in terms of job title although I've jumped from one studio to the other, but I'd like to do something more meaningful and succeed (i.e. grow).
What do you want instead?It's a constant struggle - As the partner making more money (although, it's not even that much), I feel I don't have much choice and have to continue along this path. Constantly thinking about money and finances and don't really see an opportunity to start at the bottom in any new industry I'm interested in.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?For starters, I look forward to even just TALKING about my day/job with my husband - seems like once I started seeing the disconnect I stopped seeing the point in discussing daily events, etc.
What is causing you to seek help right now?This has been an ongoing issue I've been thinking about

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life? I'm not looking to change anything about where I am with my career. I'm a partner and co-owner of a 2yr old startup called AirPads. I don't have any management experience and I'm looking to improve my skills as a leader, to be more confident in speaking about my ideas or opinions and to be able to command an audience. Being at the forefront of this company and I feel I lack the leadership and confidence to do this. I want to build my own personal brand as well. One that is not directly reflective of my role at AirPads but more of who I am as a person as a whole. I am entering the next big phase of my life, both career and personal development wise.
What do you want instead?I feel my career takes up a lot of my time and is defining who I am but I am not my career. I don't want to be in a corporate/business mindset and talking about business 7 days a week but I feel consumed by it which is affecting my happiness lately. Sometimes I feel a bit lost because I am so focused on building AirPads that I lose sight of who I am as a person.

What is causing you to seek help right now?I want to grow in certain areas of my life as I'm stepping into a Director role of the company. I want to be less critical of myself, to stop over thinking and ruminating about the past, have inner peace, be more in the moment.

name:Bradley Cain
email:bradley@syndustrial.net
What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I've developed a vision board of sorts, and the following thoughts are clear: In lieu of excessive structure, a meeting-heavy schedule, and the sensation of being under someone's thumb, I want a general sense of freedom and flexibility in my work In lieu of rigidity and a process-driven workflow, I want dynamic and mentally challenging work with ample opportunities for creative thinking In lieu of early, long, and regular office hours (often with a long commute to boot), I want to have flexibility in the hours I work, and where applicable, remote/telecommute friendly work I want to be more directly involved with customers, solutions, and success I want to work from a place of knowledge, passion, and evangelism I want to work on more proactive, forward-looking things (by way of example, I generally prefer issue prevention to messy issue clean-up) I want to know that there are ongoing possibilities for organic growth and change in my work, and not to feel stuck
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Your story resonates with me because my background is tonally quite similar: I have always been the designated achiever of my family who was expected to do the right things -- excel at school, set my sights on an "honorable" profession (think Doctor, Lawyer, or *maybe* Accountant), and put in the time to get ahead at work. Also, something that we can better explore in conversation, but I have long suppressed an urge to pursue roles more closely aligned with my passion for music and audio in favor of more mainstream work (previously Law, now Information Technology). Also, while I've always maintained an entrepreneurial streak, my career decisions have usually been driven by a deep-seated fear of jumping off the traditional job train to explore the kind of careers that have the potential to be more fulfilling. (For reference, my LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradleycain/)
What do you want instead?The stress and disorienting feelings at my current job have manifested themselves in ways that are too obvious to ignore. I experience regular frustration at how I spend my time, how much my job is running my life, and how frequently I feel like a fish out of water. I often feel like myself again on weekends and when I otherwise get away for brief breaks, but come Sunday night, I experience deep feelings of dread about exposing myself to more of the same. It has created tension with my wife (who went through a very similar experience a few years back until she executed a career reboot), it is affecting my sleep, and where I used to get migraines on rare occasions, I now get them with concerning regularity. In terms of finances, we've been careful not to let our lifestyle become too dependent on our current level of income, but we do have some luxuries that we naturally assume we'll need to forego were I to take a different career path that rewards me more in enjoyment than compensation. That's concerning, but not insurmountable.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I haven't given this as much thought as I probably should, but the basic picture I have is one of the more balanced person that I was in years past before work began to dominate my day to day thoughts. In short, want more unencumbered time for family, exercise, music, and free thinking. I am not afraid of hard work, but my efforts in work need to be engaging and productive so I can feel fulfilled and accomplished enough to enjoy my time away from work.
What is causing you to seek help right now?After spending 13 years in 4 different roles with my last employer (Caltech), I took a chance on a new company (Capital Group) who recruited me with the promised that I would be able to focus on the kind of forward-thinking, customer-facing work I enjoy most, while moving away from the operational elements of my previous position that had gradually worn me down (fire-fighting, 24x7 on call responsibilities, etc.) The new role briefly lived up to its billing, at least in part, but a reorganization changed my responsibilities considerably (without any meaningful consultation, I might add), as I was handed a pile of old technologies, messy issues, and a team of people who require a high degree of managerial attention. I'm almost at the 2 year mark at Capital Group, and I feel like I've given the role enough time to understand what it is, and what it will never be. It's amply clear that my current role isn't working for me, and that I need a change. And much like the experience you had with your layoff, I see this as an opportunity to stop, assess, and truly rethink what I do next rather than jump into another IT management position that will likely share many of the same problematic elements.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like a job that can be fulfilling and still provide me with the life balance that I seek.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Deciding my next move. I have just finished with founding 2 start up companies and after spending 2 months to enjoy life, I'm starting to think about where I want to be for my next move. My wife and I currently live in San Francisco and have been in Northern California for 19 years but plan to move to Los Angeles in the next couple months to be closer to our families and to enjoy the Southern California lifestyle that we both grew up in. My wife and I are having a baby in December and I want to find a job that can be fulfilling, provide a good income and provide the right work-life balance so I can spend time with my family and enjoy myself.
What do you want instead?My wife and I are trying to balance when we make the move based on when we have opportunities or jobs. My wife thinks that she could work for her current job remotely, but is not sure. We have some savings so we are not in an immediate rush for me to get a job and both recognize the value of getting a job that will make me happy and fulfilled as opposed to jumping into something that I will not like. So, we feel a bit in limbo as we try to look for houses to rent or buy, but without knowing where we will work, its a tough decision.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I wouldn't say that I haven't been happy or am not happy right now. But, I seek to maximize my happiness in my career and life. And, while I have this time and opportunity to search for my next opportunity, I would like to be very intentional to take on the responsibility that will best suit my interest and skills. I would enjoy the work while feeling that I have the space for family, friends, travel, and my hobbies. Ideally, I could find a role where I would be able to work remotely with a flexible schedule so that I can not make my job run my life but I make my job fit into my life. And, if I am passionate enough about the work, then I will be motivated to work hard and be successful.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel like I have a lot of skills and there are many different directions that I can go. During my time off, I have spent a lot of time reading and reflecting on what I want to do. I even spent a week of mindfulness meditation at Plum Village in France that was amazing and gave me new perspectives on life and how I approach it. I have been reading What Color is Your Parachute and doing some other reading to understand where I want to go. But, it feels that it will be best to connect with an expert to understand my experience and interest to help guide me where to go next.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like to maintain relationships while making new ones. I would like to have a good amount of money that I can depend on not only for the necessities but also for other things. My health and happiness are my biggest priorities for my life.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I do not know what my goal career is. I am in a bit of a rut.
What do you want instead?As of right now, I am still figuring out what I want to do so my relationships depend on where I end up. I would like to create relationships with people anywhere I end up. My boyfriend and I are focusing on our careers first. Money has never been an issue in my family, however, I have always been very independent so I would like to make a good amount of money with my dream job. I want to pursue a career in health so I am always thinking about my own health. My health is always my first priority so it will always be on my mind throughout my life. With that, my happiness is also something that I always am concerned about/want throughout the rest of my life. I am currently not content with my career path, as I do not have one.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would like to actually look forward to going to work! and having a balance between work and family/friends.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I do not have a career path but I have an idea of what i like.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to do something I love again, I want to make enough money to live a modest life and support my famil and children's future education. I want to be there for my wife and kids and not just be the financial provider.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Direction, I need to change industries due to a downward trend in the residential solar industry, I was a top leader for a few years and was feeling great about what I was doing, where I was going, and what I was making. I have taken a swing at a few other industries and have went in with the mindset I may need to start at a lower level and work my way up. I haven't had any luck and I am now a bit lost. I ultimately have aspirations of being an entrepreneur but feel like I need to get back to making some money and having benefits for my family while I try and start that on the side.
What do you want instead?I am, or was a fairly confident person, I understand that all things that happen in life are for a reason and I have seen that first hand over and over. I still feel let down about my situation and don't understand why people are interested in hiring me. I feel as if the universe or god is telling or shoving me in the direction of starting my own business where I get back what I invest and I won't be let go because of a change in leadership above me. I'm healthy, not broke, fairly happy but my wife doesn't seem to be.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Not much different than it is today (I have been unemployed for 5 months) so I work on finding a job but I am able to do the things I want and spend time with my young children and wife. The biggest thing I struggle with now is self-doubt/worth due to the time its taking and results I am getting. I am open to investing my time and energy toward something that is long term, that may not pay as much now but is stable and builds on itself.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am not taking enough action, nor the correct action. I am fairly smart, confident, and hard working. I have thought about this a few times but told myself, "You know what you need to do, just do it and if you don't get any results then seek help". I have taken a couple of runs at it on my own and think I need help.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to work for a company or for a cause I am passionate about. I want to feel proud and confident when I answer the "what do you do?" question. I want to maximize my earning potential while at the same time feel like what I am doing matters to the world. I want to be engaged and interested during my working hours. I want to be doing something that might eventually morph into my own business/ consultancy firm. I want to stay in Santa Barbara.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I am at a crossroads in my career right now. In my 18+ year business career, I have worked in various capacities within several companies which were all owned by the same group of investors. As a smart, capable, flexible person, I took one role after the other based more on the needs of my employers, and not because of any specific passion. The good - I have never had to go out on the job market, I have had an interesting career in many different areas, some that resonate with my personal interests (some not so much), and I have developed a broad skill set and great organizational and management expertise. The bad - I don't really know where I belong, how to "brand" myself properly, how to pinpoint where my unique set of skills and experiences have directed me, and what I want to do in the next phase of my career. I'm unhappy in my current role, ready for a change and realize I ought to be strategic about how I go about it.
What do you want instead?I don't like how I'm spending my days right now. I feel bored, unmotivated, and unfulfilled. I feel like I'm spinning my wheels and going backwards instead of forward. I don't feel attuned to my current position, and have a slight catch in my throat when I answer the question "what do you do?"
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be engaged and feel motivated to get to work every day. I would feel proud when someone asked me what I do. I would be more worried about missing work than calculating how many sick days I've already taken so I can have a "mental health" day and call in sick. I would not feel like I was "working" because I am spending my days engaged in activities that I enjoy - that just happen to be towards a project that matters to me.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I want to be strategic in my approach to applying for my next gig. I want help figuring out what I want to do for the next phase of my career and I don't want to waste any more time. I want help crafting the cover letters/resumes that are targeted to specific opportunities so I have the best chance to get a call for an interview.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to be passionate about what I'm getting up in the morning to do. I want to build something of value and help others.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Determining the next step in my career. I feel I'm very good at what I do, but I don't really feel challenged anymore. It's the same problems that I've dealt with thousands of times. I was recently promoted to a management position. I really loved what I was doing, which included mentoring, developing strategy and leading a team. However, my company went through a large reorganization. Many people lost their jobs, including my team members. Now I'm back to doing what I was doing before. This has left me feeling vulnerable and unsure about my next step. Should I go off on my own and open my own business. Should I seek promotion within the company I'm at once again. Should I look for a different company to work for. Or should I look to a different area of the business, such as Sales, which I've always had an interest in.
What do you want instead?After all of the layoffs, I feel a lot more pressure to over perform and work longer hours. This has added to my stress levels. My relationships outside of work are healthy, but I'm afraid this situation will start to affect those also.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would feel like I'm building something of value. I would be passionate about doing it and I would make a good living to provide for my family.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel stuck on deciding the right direction for me.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?To find a career path that I'm excited about. I know that if I can find it, I have a huge potential to be successful. I just don't have the confidence or ability to find it by myself.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Clarity, focus, and a goal. I recently left the family business (electronic manufacturing) after 10 years. Though when I left I told folks my next path was as a Paralegal, I know now it was just a way to get me out of there, since I'm not actually driven by paralegal work.
What do you want instead?All my brothers and sisters are successful and their jobs are a big part of their identity. Just like them, I've always wanted to be excited and proud when talking about my work. Since I feel none of that, I never really talked about my work--to the extent that people don't understand what I do or that I was actually relatively successful. And now that I'm out seeking new employment, I don't have the skills needed to explain any of that.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Much calmer with less anxiety and unfulfilment. More satisfaction with myself and less comparing to my siblings.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I'm currently seeking employment and realizing I need help in finding my ideal career.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like to get back to feeling confident, valuable and having a passion for what I do, plus maintain a good financial income. The latter may be the stumbling block as it could be time to do something different but having spent my whole career in high-tech the change in financial status changing my career direction may not be as rewarding.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?1. With a broad background positioning to attract the right opportunities is difficult - as well as deciding what area I should focus on. 2. Being a senior, mature professional some companies may perceive a better investment in the younger career professional. 3. Getting to the next level (VP) and increasing my salary achievements as I feel I have plateaued in both. 4. Overall feeling a little jaded about my career and opportunities - in need of a new spark and last push before I retire. 🙂
What do you want instead?Generally not affecting, but I don't feel as confident as I use too and I seem to worry about what people think of me and feel less driven.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Rewarding and the feeling of being valuable or doing something that makes a difference would increase my overall confidence.
What is causing you to seek help right now?1. Being considering a move for some time and its about time to doing something about as I am too comfortable where I have been. 2. The company is being acquired and I believe I will not survive the transition (to be determined soon) so that is a catalyst to do something now. 3. Moved to Carlsbad in last 6-weeks to be closer to family and so another good reason to make changes to my life and career.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to make decent money, work regular hours, have a flexible schedule, receive recognition for my work, and feel excited to come to work again.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?My biggest challenges are figuring out my new direction and what I want to do with the rest of my life. Since college I have focused on working in music and after graduating, I moved across the country 5 years ago to accomplish that. I have succeeded, to a degree, working as an assistant for the top companies in my industry for the last 4 years. After working for the same person for the last 3 years, I have become disinterested with my work and no longer want to achieve the position my current path is leading towards.
What do you want instead?The challenge of not being satisfied with my career and not knowing what direction to take are affecting every aspect of my life. At the minimum I am gone for 11 hours every day, including commute. I feel I never have time or energy to do things with friends. I also feel I will never be able to save enough money for the future, which causes stress as well.. I have no flexibility with my schedule, so I have not figured out a good way to exercise. I am currently the unhappiest I have ever been in a job and in life.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?As I identify much of who I am based on my career, I would be overall much happier in other aspects of my life. I imagine I would either work for myself or have a flexible schedule to allow myself to travel or work remotely and have a greater work-life balance. I would be allowed to take a full lunch or leave early if I wanted to, but would also be happy to work 10 hours if necessary to complete a task. I could leave early for a long weekend to go skiing without needing permission, and I would have enough money to not feel guilty for going on the trip in the first place.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I promised to give myself 1 year in my current position before making any drastic changes, and it's been a year and a half. I have been thinking about a change for the majority of the last year but have come up with no desire to move towards any new specific direction.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?See my answer to the previous question.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I've had an extremely diverse career all within The Walt Disney Company (22 years). I'm at a turning point and believe my biggest challenge is knowing where to focus my career next.
What do you want instead?My husband and my careers have kept us in a long distance relationship since we got engaged 7 years ago. He's now working for Under Armour in Baltimore and I'm still with Disney in LA. I'd like to have children, but still have a career. I'm feeling very lost as to what direction to turn next that will get me and my husband together, support my aspirations to have children, and have a career that fulfills me in which I feel I am adding value and am fulfilling a purpose. The stress of not knowing which direction to go is definitely taking a toll on my health and happiness.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would have challenging work that grows me but still allows me to have a good work/life balance. I would be leading a strong team in a role that brings value to either the organization or people. I would be working in a culture and environment that is collaborative, engaging and fun where people truly care about each other and support each other. I would enjoy time with my husband, family and friends. I would have time to explore my passions outside of work and spend time with the children I hope to have. I would be financially in a solid place where I could retire when the time comes and not have to worry about money and the future security of my family. I would be at my ideal weight, be healthy, and love life.
What is causing you to seek help right now?We have had a significant turnover in leadership. Priorities have changed in many parts of the organization that have affected what I was responsible for. I'm not sure that R&D is still the right place for me any longer - seems my skill sets are not as well-aligned with the new strategies as they were in the past.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?My passions are in art and environmental conservation/sustainability. I would like to feel like I'm contributing to the world in someway and I don't feel that in what I'm doing now.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I just feel like I'm meant for something different. I currently work as an engineer and have so for nearly 8 years. I can handle the tasks I'm doing, but it just lacks any meaning or value to me. I don't feel connected to what I'm doing.
What do you want instead?I'm more frustrated and confused than I'd like to be feeling.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Better. It would be nice to feel like I'm more connected to my purpose and living from that place. Just not sure how to connect the dots or take the leap yet
What is causing you to seek help right now?I feel stuck and I think an outside perspective could definitely help

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a job I can be proud of and reflects my years of experience and creativity. I want a life where I know I am financially stable and able to afford the things like VACATION or helping others. I want to feel happy, more sure of myself and my future.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Retail industry is not what it used to be - ECommerce has taken over Been in the fashion industry for almost 30 years - 18 years with the same company/Unemployeed for the 1st time Finding growth and opportunity in Southern California Competing with Millenials - salary negotiations
What do you want instead?How can I put this...I have never been unemployed before so the impact seems two-fold. Money -The fear that I won't be able to find a job before my severance and unemployment are up is consuming. Relationships/Happiness - not exactly a bundle of joy to be around right now. Feeling frustrated and not very positive. Health - Anxiety and trouble sleeping. Very worried about the future.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Less stressful that's for sure. There is security and positivity when you know you are happy in your job. I would have more uplifting conversations, more involvement in social activities, and more drive.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I lost my job of 18 years about 4 months ago and I am having difficulties finding a new job. I have updated my resume, applied to so many jobs through Indeed, Linkedin, and corporate web sites, but not one interview. I am getting scared, anxious, and extremely doubtful that if I continue my same routine I am not going to find a great job with the salary I deserve. Because I have been out of the job market for so long, I need help with networking, interviewing, and salary negotiations.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want a role where I can earn a base + commission. I would be working with customers to show them how to use software, install and launch it, and work with our engineering team to fix issues I see crop up. Ideally I'd be working on projects in sprints pulling long days and nights to finish of a product or software launch. I would LOVE to have a role where I can travel most of the time meeting with clients onsite around the world as a consultant or on the implementation team.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have worked for a few startups throughout the years but I haven't found a place I really loved and wanted to work long term. Some issues I've run into are inconsistent salary when working commission only roles or taking a lower salary with equity, management changes, or when the role changes. I've been top performer on the team or had promotions but never the salary to go with it.
What do you want instead?Salary issues have caused me stress which doesn't allow me to go out with friends and network as often as I'd like, go on dates, stress from the job not making me happy, and stress concerning myself over things out of my control. I have side projects I'd like to work on as well.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would have the freedom to travel or work remotely from around the world when not on the road. With a great salary, I'd be able to moonlight some of the projects I'm working on in the free time and have the ability to go out and go on dates.
What is causing you to seek help right now?After spending the past couple months working on small jobs and applying to job's, I've had almost no luck getting responses from companies I know I'm a great fit for. I haven't had any great mentors in life and I don't know anyone who can help me so I'm looking for a professional. I'm almost 30 and don't want another job, I want a career.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would love to start my own business. My interests are fashion design, interior design, cars, marketing, social media, and accounting.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Not having enough experience in fields of interest. Not being able to focus on a clear path since I have many interests. Also right now I am having a difficult time deciding if I should continue where I am, move to something new or start my own business.
What do you want instead?I am constantly stressed and feel I am having a hard time completing even simple tasks. Recently I have been diagnosed with wrist strain/carpal tunnel, which makes things even more difficult and decisions on the next steps nearly impossible.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career? If I were happy in my career I would be different person. I believe I would be motivated to pursue all my interests, have much less stress, and be more outgoing/ social.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I am at a crossroads. I have recently been having many many issues in my current job. I was on track to fulfilling one of my goals but hit obstacles out of my control. I also have wanted to be an entrepreneur for as long as I can remember but have yet to completely follow through.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I am financially fulfilled with my role and well compensated by my current employer. They recognize me as the highest "rising star" but I feel I can grow and learn even faster working hands on with a 100% local team. I want to work with a team that I can speak to face to face. I want to work with a team that I can meaningfully influence and lead (and not by phone/email). You can't really build trust with someone you've never met in person I believe. Ultimately, I want to also work in a company with a problem statement that I care deeply about. The environment of a tech startup intrigues me, I am considering a move to a startup that interests me, but I have concerns about financial stability. I am also interested in moving to another established company that operates with a local team, but my particular options have similar remote cultures as my current company.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I've had great success in my career due to my technical and analytical competency (IQ related skills). I have had great success as an engineer and currently as a product manager. To take my career to the next level, I need to improve my emotional competency (EQ related skills). My greatest challenge lies in my specific situation at my current company. I currently work as a 95% remote employee (I could technically work from home every day) - my face to face interactions are limited and the company culture encourages working from home. My role requires me to get my objectives done by 100% working with others (Product Managers are the glue of many different diverse teams.) However, my primary form of communication with people and my team members (including my manager) is phone and email! I feel I am not growing emotionally - which I feel is critical be well positioned in the field of product management.
What do you want instead?Social interaction is critical to the rest of life, whether we believe it or not. Great relationships breeds healthy life. Great relationships brings great opportunities for wealth. A combination of good relationships, financial satisfaction leads to great health and happiness. Since most of our time is spent at work, I feel I am not getting the social stimuli i need to learn, grow, and ultimately lead and influence. This is somewhat affecting me personally as well as a remote role encourages me to stay in a bubble - to stay connected via technology. We use technology to connect to friends, family, and co-workers, but it somewhat promotes being distant at the same time because its so convenient. With the lack of a local team to work with, I feel like I am declining in Emotional Intelligence which dramatically affects my career and my personal relationships.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Ultimately, I see myself advising startups and other tech company's in my late career and being more social personally. You make great friends from colleagues you work with and I believe my life would be more fulfilling if I had an opportunity that is naturally more connected to the work I accomplish.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Over the last two years since graduating from my MBA program at UCLA, I had been trying my hand at seeking a new opportunity for a team/company that exhibits the above qualities (local, passionate, tech related) - however, I struggle with my interview skills and selling myself. I have a great resume and number of compelling qualifications. I've made it to on-site interviews at well known companies (Amazon, Google-twice) and various phone interviews with other companies, but I haven't been successful in converting to an offer. Its a conflicting time for me because I have been promoted several times in different roles and functions roles in my company (succeeding based on credibility rather than interview skill). I am regularly recognized by my peers and management and this has been reflected with great promotions and raises (5x the company average for the last three years). I have had great success in each of these roles and its financially stable and not too stressful. Something I may need as I am recently married and will eventually start a family . However I am uncertain if this is a lasting career opportunity for me as I crave challenge and relationships - right now i don't feel like i have those aspects in my career. Admittedly, I am not used to rejection/failing. Its starting to effect my confidence and is imposing an artificial limit on my talents and accomplishments. I believe I need career/life coaching and a degree of interview help so that I can move forward with either finding fulfilment in my current role or finding a new one that better suits my needs.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I wish I could go back to the role I had before - for reasons that will be easier to explain live - but I also would love to transition into a more creative role like marketing. I feel like my current role stifles my creativity and doesn't tap into that skill set of mine. My company has identified marketing as a good trajectory for me but when my ideal role came up, I was told it was bad timing as I was promoted to this current promotion and I was stuck in it for a while. For that reason, I feel like I need to look elsewhere but many companies will not look at me for marketing as I don't have that experience in my title (I do sales).
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I have always been successful, driven and motivated in my career. With a promotion a year back, I realized this is not the trajectory I wanted for myself at the company, despite me loving the company. With management changing the dynamic and role to how it's structured, it's caused internal friction, as well as, for the first time in my life, left me feeling unmotivated, uncertain on what my role really is and not happy.
What do you want instead?it seems like when one is up, the other is down. My love life is great, as my boyfriend and i moved in together recently, but my situation has me fine one minute and then almost depressed and rueful other times, which I don't like - not only to him but for myself. I also do feel some of it is stirring up anxiety in me at times.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I always have been happy in my career and want to get back there. I want to feel creative, inspired, useful.
What is causing you to seek help right now?B/c I'm feeling so unmotivated and lost and I don't like that feeling when I am collecting a paycheck.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to do more high level projects such as board development, strategic planning, and high level fundraising, such as planned giving, and impact investing.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Lack of direction and procrastination. I am having a problem positioning myself as an expert in my field of nonprofit management. I have a MBA in nonprofit management and would like to access clients, i.e., nonprofits that have the ability to pay for my services. Right now I have been pigeonholed into grant writing, a skill that I have but is not very fun for me.
What do you want instead?For the most part the inability to make the kind of money I feel I should be able to secure is affecting my self-esteem. I have a very supportive husband, but I would like to contribute more to our household so we can enjoy more things in life.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would be providing the services that I enjoy, be considered an expert in my field, have clients who can comfortably pay my fee and make a good living.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Mental pain of not living up to my potential.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I want to be valued.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life? I have worked for this company for 11 years, it has never really felt like a career to me. I did not EVER think I would end up in a field like this! I took this job out of necessity to support my family. I feel like I am at the mercy of my current employer and must take whatever they are dishing out.... more account load, less assistance, clients running amok, and all for stagnant pay! I'm sure you have heard this story from numerous previous clients. The industry has cannibalized itself. I have limited choices when it comes to a different employer for a lateral type of move. Going to one of the few competitors doesn't make sense to me, the stress level will be the same. The stress level is the driving factor in this decision. I'm sure there are other options for me I just don't know what those are.
What do you want instead?My family is begging me to quit my current job, the stress level is unbearable. I am on constant stress overload. I used to be a happy positive person. I have slowly been ground down over the years. It would not surprise me if I had some sort of PTSD from the constant stress level.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?My entire quality of life would improve.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have worked for the same company for almost 11 years. My clients know my value. My employer does not. 11 years has been long enough. Its time for a change.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?I would like a job where I can feel more alive. I would like to go home at nights feeling satisfied. I want to wake up in the mornings happy to go to work knowing I will be engaged mentally, emotionally and socially. I want to be helping people making a positive difference in their lives.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?I don't feel I am using all of my talents and have not realized my potential. Most of my jobs have not been very challenging. I find myself being able to do my job in 20 hours. I don't like routine. I love to learn all the time. I love to help people and I am a creative problem solver. I have a sharp mind that can very quickly assess situations and come up with good solutions. I have a talent for being able to explain complex issues in simple terms. I have been told that I am a great teacher and that I am very patient.
What do you want instead?My life is well balanced. I have time to exercise and to be with my family. I am not looking to have my career throw that out of balance. I am able to get a lot of things done in half the time it takes other people. I work hard and I am good at figuring out what is essential and what is not.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?It would be the last piece of the puzzle to fall in place. It would be a big piece of the puzzle.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I have done several assessment tests over the years and I have also spent time doing introspection. I have a lot of information but I need help getting clarity. I feel that once I can figure out what I was born to do (professionally) I have the drive and smarts to make it happen.

Also I would like to have someone hope when she starts school. Unfortunately wife needs to work in order to support our lifestyle and we send money to help take care of her dad. Health wise I have very bad back and could stand to loose a little weight. I've recently put myself on a weight loss program and go jogging 2 time a week.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?Less stressful (money for vacation and travel). More enjoyable.
What is causing you to seek help right now?Finally fed up enough with my job that I'm ready to leave Fox. Been here 16+years and I'm ready to move on and work at a new company.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?A job with heavy growth opportunities, both for myself and the company.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?At some point I need to find a new position as a product manager or a product marketing manager at a technology company in the Bay Area, where I've been living for 5 years. I want to be in a position at a growing technology company where I can help a company grow (and see my responsibilities grow as well.) A challenge in this is that I'm unemployed. I previously worked at Workday, a large software company that IPOed, for four years. I left there in a strong position and took a job at a start-up where I was the only PM. I did this for the upside that could occur if the start-up hit it big. It was a disaster, the company was going nowhere, and my tenure there ended in March. Since then, I've been traveling. I'm currently in Colombia. My intent is to travel until I have interviews lined up, which so far I haven't been getting.
What do you want instead?I love my life right now because I'm traveling, but at some point I need to work again and need to position this time well, as well as the short stint I had at the disaster start-up. Ultimately, I'll need the money so that's the biggest challenge. However, I'm also looking for a situation with heavy growth opportunities, and I can't see myself happy in a situation where career growth is minimal (I left Workday partially because I didn't think there were great opportunities for me there, even though compensation and work/life balance there were quite good.)
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I'd be working more. My life outside of work is really good so that's less of a concern.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I need to get more interviews, and need to make sure I do well when I get those interviews.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?A career which enables me to reach my goals, but also benefits other people in doing so.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?Being stuck in an unfulfilling career. I learned earning money playing poker while still in high school (you can play poker at 18 in my country), and dropped out of high school in order to become a professional online poker player. That worked out OK, at least in the sense that I am able to sustain myself. I also took a part time job as a casino dealer to mitigate the effects of variance in poker (losing stretches and resulting psycholigical pressure). Issues arose after a shift in my personal beliefs, particularly a desire to serve others. I now view my chosen occupation as unfulfilling. I find it hard to foster the motivation necessary to remain a winner in an increasingly competitive field. I want to change careers, but find myself with very limited options. All the skills I have acquired are largely inapplicable to any other career, I'm not eligible to enter any institution of higher learning since I didn't finish high school. Thus I can't seem to find a carrer in line with both my values and my personal goals (particularly money-wise). On the upside I think I have what some people refer to as the "entrepreneurial spirit" (which I think is exemplified by my decision to go out there and do my own thing at age 19), which means I might not even need any kind of formal education in order to reach my career goals - however I still don't know which direction to go in, what skills I will have to learn and where I can learn them etc.
What do you want instead?Without a clear plan of action, i feel like I'm not getting ahead. I don't know which direction to turn. I feel like I know where I want to go (meaning I have goals that I want to achieve in life) but I essentially lack the map that shows me how to get there.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?I would know that what I do serves a purpose, which would surely increase my overall happiness.
What is causing you to seek help right now?I must admit I was hesitant to write this application. I doubted you would accept it. First of all I don't feel like I have the money (which I assume you expect in exchange for your services). I don't live in the US. I'm probably a very difficult case. In short- I was looking for reasons not to write it. But then I decided to look at it from a different perspective. I may be a difficult case - that can be reframed to mean an unusual, interesting, challenging and exciting case. I don't live in the US - who cares, this is the internet, we can communicate thousands of miles apart. I don't have the money - maybe I can pay later, or maybe you don't even care because you just like to help people, or maybe you're actually really cheap. But most importantly - what's the worst thing that can happen?

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I'm a fiction writer/screenwriter with a BA in creative writing and a masters in screenwriting from AFI. Although I have a lot of free time to write, I haven't taken proper advantage of that. I don't really expect a career counselor to help with my prose and screenwriting career (though that would be amazing,) but I am looking to find a way to write, creatively or commercially, for a living. Barring that, I am open to exploring any avenue for a new career track, even if writing isn't involved.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I've been out of the workforce for 10 years. Most of that has been spent taking care of my kid, but ever since she started preschool going back to work - at least part time - has been an option. But I couldn't whip up much enthusiasm for going back to my career as a website project manager - not to mention that my long absence from the field may have put me out of the running. I'm a writer, and I want to find a way to make a living writing.
What do you want instead?
My husband makes a very good living. We are not desperate for a second income, but it would be very helpful in putting more money into savings, and paying off my considerable grad-school loans.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I would be less anxious abut money issues. I would have some degree of structure in my life, which I've been sorely missing. I would actually enjoy my work, instead of tolerate it; and I would be invested in my work, instead of simply meeting expectations.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I've been pussyfooting around the idea of re-entering the workforce for years, discouraged by the conviction that I could never be payed for work I actually want to do. I suppose my impetuous to actually connect with a career counselor is that the long forbearance for my loans is coming to an end, but I've been wanting to make a change for a long time.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
Good question. I'm not entirely sure.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
1. Getting promoted in my current job. 2. Wondering whether better career opportunities exist outside of my field/job. 3. Developing a "name/brand" for myself to explain my skills and abilities to the world. 4. Updating my resume and LinkedIn profile to market myself.
What do you want instead?
These challenges make me think a lot about my overall career, which consumes a lot of energy. I'm not unhappy, but I want to explore these challenges. I want to be able to do my job, enjoy it and feel rewarded, without wondering whether something better is out there.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I think I would live more in the moment and less in my mind. This could allow me to be more focused on things at home and would free up energy to develop hobbies and other skills. I'm speculating here. It could be that I'm wired a certain way, so things may not change that much in other parts of my life.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
Nothing. I'm seeking help now.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I have decided it is time for me to take control of my career and life. I am currently putting in place a plan to quit my current role and start my own media company, which will allow me to start pursuing a number of ideas I have been putting on the backburner. I want to be my own boss.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I am currently stuck in a position that offers little creative challenge and no possibility for advancement. This position, which I have been in for 4 years, feels like it is stunting my career at this point and offering me no benefits outside of a paycheck.
What do you want instead?
It is mainly affecting my happiness, which in turn could trickle down to relationships. Nobody really knows how unhappy I am in my current role except for my wife, who is super supportive. I know I need a change, I just need a push.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
The only thing I can honestly say I am missing right now is satisfaction in my work life. If I could solve that, I have little other worries. Things are great.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I am ready to quit my job, which I would do tomorrow if money was not a concern. However, I am taking a measured approach and want to make sure I have a correct plan in place to pursue my dreams and be able to support my family doing it. I am ready to make a change, just am looking for someone to supply guidance.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I want to be in a business that highlights my talents, gives me something I'm excited to work on + gives me a legitimate shot to earn mid-6 figures in the next 2-3 years, and 7 figures in the next 10. I want to jump out of bed at 6:30am.
So that's probably a very boilerplate statement, so let's drill down to what my actual ideal work consists of
-Want to be able to engage in new/interesting campaigns regularly + touch a lot of different verticals and spaces. It's one of the things I love about lead generation. Its that I can involve myself in a lot of different businesses with one process. I love the variety and also the excitement from taking on a new project. When I see something that has potential (where I know my hard work will pay off) it gets my juices flowing (My issue lately is that everything I work on becomes a dead end, and I need to see the shots fall in sometimes, you know?)
-I love solving problems. When I work at something all day and night and find a way to make it work, that really gets me off. I don't like to focus on 100000 things at once, but when I can focus on one thing at a time and have the ability to just do it, it works great
-Freedom and flexibility. I usually leave the country 1-2 times a year. I love that I can set up in an apartment in S America for a month and work out of there. Definitely something that I love about working for myself, and something I dont ever want to lose.
-Love selling + making partnerships. Although selling the same thing repeatedly gets boring. I like to find opportunities and leverage new partnerships
-Want to be in a business that's A) High Ticket, B) Residual Income/recurring, C) Relatively low sales funnel time, D) Relative lower headache per dollar (Relative being the key word, I know every dog has its fleas, but some certainly have more than others!)
Ultimately, I know to be successful entails a certain degree of headache. There's no way around that. But I want something where I have more excitement, and for once (first time in a while) feel like there's progress being made + a real plan that's not going to have 400201 dead ends and reboots.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
Where to start? To name a few, I think I'm trying to do too much myself, and I feel stuck dealing with a billion moving parts on the front and back end. I feel like the problems I solve in my business are recurring instead of linear. Every time it seems like we have a good lead generation system (I'm in lead generation business), it seems something else happens, and lead volume goes in 1/2, just like a cat-and-mouse game. And while I'm working to get leads back to normal (which has been feeling like all the time for way too long), sales takes a hit (yeah, I'm doing sales too, have had agents here and there, but the lead volume always falls eventually + the volume stops supporting both mine and the agent's sales)
A lot of times, I feel lost on what to focus on, and worse yet, I feel like at age 30, I'm significantly underperforming my potential.
I'm great at finding a way to make things work. I'm talented at selling/talking to people. I'm great at seeing things other people don't see,
Where I lack is that I find it difficult to manage 30 moving parts at once. I want to set myself up for success (Success being at least mid-6 figures in next few years, 7 figures by 10 years from now, right now I'm barely scraping low 6 figures) in a situation where I can have less activity, but higher ticket sales/services that are recurring. Either that, or partner with someone who compensates for my weaknesses (Have to be careful who you partner with though).
I don't want to be in a business with 25 people to manage. That will drive me crazy. I know there's successful business models that can stay relatively small. I want to find the best way I can highlight my talents and give them the most exposure to be able to achieve my greatest potential + feel excited about going to work again
What do you want instead?
I think the largest of all of them is feeling like I'm not living to my potential. I know I'm better than this. I know what I want takes a lot of work, but it has to be work applied in the right direction, not simply work for work's sake. Healthwise, there's definitely a lot of hidden stress (a biological timeclock ticking saying "you need to be further than this"), and I definitely think the stress is detrimental to my health.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I think most of this would have been answered in the last question, no? Although glad to clarify if it's something different.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I feel my biological clock ticking, I'm 30 years old and barely making low 6 figures (and might do even lower than that way things are going this year). I feel like I'm working on solving the same problems every day, and that I'm not seeing the needle moving. I know I'm better than this. I understand where my weaknesses are (Managing a billion things, organization, etc), but I also know that I have a lot of strengths that can take me far if I put myself in the right situation. I'm a creative problem solver who can recognize opportunities. When I understand a concept, I can take my understanding/insight to a crazy high level, I (think) I'm a great communicator (usually). I just feel like I'm too overwhelmed by so many diffrent minutia, that my own perspective is impaired. I need a partner who can really understand me + help me place myself in a position where I give my strengths the most exposure and weaknesses least exposure. Let's see if this is a fit!

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I want to find a new role that fits my strengths and challenges me to grow both personally and professionally.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
More clearly defining what I want both in a next step and long term. More clearly positioning my experience to date.Truly understanding how my skills, disposition and experience can be best channeled to deliver me fulfillment and value to my employer. Attempting to transition industries and roles.
What do you want instead?
General happiness and mindset--frustration over lack of value and engagement with current position, nagging feeling that all free time should be spent job searching.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
More engaging and fulfilling. Less stress--not in the traditional sense, I like to work hard and welcome stress over challenges at work. But if I were happy in my career I'd have less stress that I'm currently dealing with--over frustrations with current position, over the nagging feeling I should always be doing more to job search, over a feeling of long term direction for my career.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I've been job searching for 5 months. I finally had an opportunity in front of me that I was confident I was capable of securing and would be a great next step for me. I made it to the final round but it didn't come through. This experience convinced me that I need to optimize my approach, specifically on the job search but more generally with my mindset. I worry that my lack of clarity on what I truly want long term is a contributing factor to my job search struggles.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I want a good job! I want to work in a field that I have a lot of interest in. I have deep love for food and service, music, digital production and operations, movies and television and more. However, I cannot seem to get anyone's attention to give me the time of day to talk to them about how I can contribute to their company's success.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
Finding the right job and getting that interview. Historically I've landed over 90% of the jobs I have interviewed for and in the last year I have only managed to get a single job interview. I am at a loss of how to proceed, how to get the opportunity to pitch myself for an opportunity.
What do you want instead?
Money is tight, my relationships in my life with my family, my partner, and my friends are all strong. However, I cannot afford simple things in life on my shoestring budget and living for the last 8 years going from paycheck to paycheck are witting down my ambition.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
With the right job I feel like life would be perfect, I am on track with a lot of my life goals but lack of the right career opportunity is standing in the way of those goals.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I am finding it extremely difficult to market myself through job applications. I am constantly feeling as though I am pigeon holing myself and cannot find a way to market myself effectively.

I want a product manager / product owner career for a company I believe in, with healthy work-life balance, and I want to move my family to Austin to be closer to extended family.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I'm not doing what I love in this role - leading teams to design and develop great software is my interest and my role is now more budgetary and project management.
What do you want instead?
Money is great, relationships are very good, health is not peak-performance and my happiness...could use work 🙂
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I would be doing creative and challenging work, working with a talented and happy team of designers and developers. I would show up excited every day and leave to join my family at home for an evening of rest and relaxation. Throw some healthy activities in there too and maybe some weekends at the lake, and we're getting close...
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I'm ready for a change. I want to be clear on my brand for upcoming conversations, including my pitch, my interviewing, my resume, and my confidence. I help people get clear on their goals and approach every day but I have trouble seeing my own way forward in the career-zone.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I want to constantly be learning new things and feel like I'm contributing to something in a more impactful way.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I'm unsure of whether to keep going with what I'm good at or whether I should push myself to take on more challenges and responsibility.
What do you want instead?
Because my current job is not as challenging as I would anticipate, I don't make as much money as I would want, and therefore am stuck financially. I make enough money to get by, but not enough to save as much as I'd like. My mental health is fine, but physically I find that I don't have as much time to exercise as I'd like. I am happy with the people I work with, but the work itself doesn't push me in the way that I want.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I would have a fairly flexible schedule and make enough money to continue supporting myself.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I have a job interview and don't know whether to move forward.

I graduated with a BA in 2012 expecting to go into law. I decided not to go into law because my LSAT score was not good.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
A more constant source of money and relief from having to constantly search for new work. I'm a natural achiever... put me in a room with a project and I'll tinker with it until it's sparkling. So I won't stagnate. But I'm not a natural salesman, so the constant search for work goes against my personality. While some find it exciting, I sometimes yearn for a job where I could come in at 8am, put some money in the coffee fund, and leave at 5pm. I'm definitely tired of not knowing when I'll be home from work when I leave in the morning.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I work in the film industry, the original "gig" career. I've made a great go of it. I even like what I do. But the idea of continuing this constant grubbing for work is getting exhausting. Some stability would be nice, especially as I approach my mid-50's. A long-term injury or a strike could be a huge problem for my family.
What do you want instead?
I tend to worry about the future more than I should. We have plenty of money, but my level of worry would lead you to believe that we are on the brink of bankruptcy. It causes me to put off things that are semi-luxuries... new clothes, vacations, etc to make sure that the family is taken care of first.
Also the hours the job takes have taken a toll on my free time. As the years have gone by many of the things that I used to enjoy have fallen by the wayside. I find myself without hobbies or friends outside of work who I see on a regular basis... the very things I might look at as a clue to my next steps.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I would be happy getting better at my job and be less concerned getting my next job from the moment I walked into work. I'm sure it would be a weight off of my shoulders. In fact, if you told me that I'd be doing the same exact thing I do now, but I would never have to search for a new job, I'd consider that a pretty decent compromise.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I really feel a need to change, but have no idea how to do it. I feel under-trained to make a career jump and while my industry has given me a ton of training in leading small teams under pressure with a lot of money on the line, I'm not sure that my experience will translate to an employer. That and my 54 years are two things that I think stand in my way.

A career that fulfills me, challenges me and pays me double what I am making now with a great benefits package, medical, dental, 401k, plus a cultural fit that allows me to excel and explore my natural talents.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?

What do you want instead?

What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
My life is wonderful as it is, this recent stagnation has just slowed me down a bit because I find myself second guessing my choices. When I fulfilled by my career I feel that I am able to excel in all areas of my life.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
My current employer, realizing that I am ready for advancement but with little opportunity, hired me an Executive Coach to help provide guidance in my next step. Together we have identified that I can no longer 'wait' for the internal opportunity to arise, but have to take action in seeking my next position with a great company. Since I have been going back and forth in this decision for over a year, my coach suggested I hire a career coach to hold me accountable.

I don't know if you mean for my career or my life. For my career, I'm not sure if I know specifically. I'd love to be doing something where I can make a difference while still being creative. I also would like to work for myself of have a good deal of freedom. I'd also like the quality of my work to equal the compensation, and I'd like the compensation to have a lot of potential.
For my life, I'd like to have a sense of ease and joy, feel financially secure and putting money away for retirement, and be in a long-term, loving relationship.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I've had a fifteen year career in the nonprofit sector, and I'm not sure I want to continue down that path. I seem to consistently butt heads and feel frustrated there. But I don't really know what else to do. My biggest passion has always been writing and producing, but I fear the instability, especially at my age (48). I have been consulting in the nonprofit sector, but that hasn't been anywhere near lucrative enough.
What do you want instead?

Entheos - Find a career that allows me to be enthusiastic and energized. At the age of 40, not knowing what I want to do is rather frustrating. I know what i enjoy doing, and what i have done, I need someone that can look at all of it and tell me about jobs/roles I am not aware of.

Self doubt! I spent many years doing work I liked but at companies I didn't like. I don't want to continue feeling like a job is "good enough" or a "stepping stone."

I now want to more into a more senior role and feel confident.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I want to feel confident with whatever decision I make. I want to stay focused on my end goal. Most importantly, I want financial freedom and time for myself and my loved ones.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
Clarity on proper next steps to be successful and happy in the long haul.
At times, I get too distracted by too much opportunities.
What do you want instead?
Health - I get very stressed from over analyzing and that affects my happiness level as well as my health.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I would have a fulfilling career that pays well but also offers flexibility where I can spend time with my loved ones. I don't mind working hard while I am at work, but I do not want to constantly bring my work home with me.
I want to be in a leadership role where I am constantly growing tangibly and mentally.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I have been an analyst for 8 years. The entire time, I never felt like this role was a perfect fit for me.
Anyways, since 2013, I have been working for a wonderful company. From 2013-mid 2016, I have been a Senior Business Analyst with the company. During that same period, I was also getting my MBA at USC part-time. It was an intense time with absolutely no work life balance. Work was extremely demanding with a lot of complex projects, competing priorities, and people politics.
After the MBA, I decided to do a career switch into Human Resources (same company) by joining my company's HR Leadership Rotation Program. The rotation program has been fun and most importantly, EASY. I enjoy the low stress environment with the great work life balance. However, I have been in this program for almost 9 months and I am not entirely sure where I want to be placed in HR after the rotation program. Also, I am very well regarded in the program, which is great, but I do not know if I am actually growing.
Recently, a Senior Manager from my old team reached out as there is a new job opening - Business Analysis Manager in Strategy and Innovation. It would be a great opportunity for me to progress up, be challenged, be stretched, get paid more, and work with folks from impressive backgrounds who are experts in strategic innovation. After weeks of back and forth conversations, I have decided yesterday to interview for the position. By tomorrow, the leadership team in HR will have heard that I am throwing my name in the hat and there will be a chance I might be leaving the rotation program early to go back to the business (if I get the job). I have a lot of internal conflicts about interviewing for this position, possibly receiving the offer, and leaving the rotation program to pursue something I might fail in.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
Focus on one thing. Be something. Build something. Drop all of the things I am doing in my life out of obligation, without any passion. Stop "phoning" in my work. I feel like I am doing everything "halfway"
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
Finding a clear path/direction to what I am supposed to be doing. I seem to get into something, get excited and then bored with it. There are things that I could do that make lots of money but are "safe" and uninteresting and too stressful for me. So the result is doing multiple jobs that are all relatively demanding, but lead nowhere and I am spread super thin unable to really jump in and "start" anything.
What do you want instead?
It's directly impacting my relationship right now. My fiance is tired of watching me struggle around "what should I be doing with my life". I am tired all the time and stressed out.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
Fulfilled, I suppose. I cannot remember an exact time when I have been really happy in my career. But I do know when my life is NOT my career, when I have balance and freedom, I feel happiest.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
Feeling overwhelmed 24/7. I cannot keep up the pace of what is going on now. It's not the volume of hours, but how I am forcing myself to jump from one type of work to the next. Right now for example, I have an edit for a big race that is a week late. I have three hours to work on it before my next job starts. Tomorrow, I go to Orange County for work, so today is THE DAY to handle this edit.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I want a location independent career that feels more authentic that will give me the financial support I need. I would prefer to work less, to do more project based work and make my own hours.
I do music on the side and while I know I can't make money at it, I would like to be able to progress in that field because i love it.
I am really passionate about film/entertainment and would be really interested to develop as a screenwriter. I have taken workshops and love it but need to experience more to see if it's a good fit.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
Finding clarity and an action plan that feels effective. I have a made a million plans but often lose hope.
I am a graphic designer for a beauty company with a lot of experience and a great portfolio but I often feel stuck in companies that don't reflect my values. I don't really want to be working in the beauty industry to be honest but have built up a body of work that is sough after and so I often feel stuck in this field. In fact, I never really wanted to do design either but just picked this career because I was having such a hard time deciding what to do.
My passions are in music, film and travel. I used to work in production for the entertainment industry. But that was not a good fit either, however I think screenwriting might be...
What is frustrating is that I have to drive over 2 hours a day and am miserable at work so with all of that it's been tough to stay focused and create a plan to transition, especially because I don't have clarity. I'm just trying to stay a float emotionally but am making pretty good money.
I do apply for jobs every day and look on LinkedIn. I'm hardworking but I know I'm not using my energy wisely. I often want to quit my job and get a part time job working for less just to have the time a space to get clear. However I can't even seem to do that. These are my challenges...:(
What do you want instead?
I feel very stuck and consumed with finding a more satisfying job. I never feel I can relax and enjoy my relationships or really move forward in any direction. All my energy is going towards my career (or driving to work!).
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I would make my own hours, work from anywhere and be creating work that that is meaningful that gives me a sense of progress and inspiration.
I could see myself being a content producer as that is sort of what I do now, (i'm just more focused on graphics) but find it hard to make the leap to that level. But I like this idea because it would allow me to build on what I'm doing, just allowing me to pursue writing and music.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I am on the brink of quitting my job. It's become pretty miserable for me.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I am looking for a position in National Sales.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I am currently looking for a new role and I am not sure if I am positing myself correctly. I had my resume rewritten last summer and I am not sure if it represents me. I am looking for coaching for this reason.
What do you want instead?
Not working is impacting me, I want to be settled and back in a position of saving money, not spending my savings.
My daughter is grown, this is my time, I am not mentally or financially ready to retire.
I miss the challenge of selling in complex business relationships.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
Perfect!!!!
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I am not sure is I am maneuvering the job market correctly. This is only the 3rd time in my career where I have looked for work. I have been recruited to all positions (by customers) with the exception of the Coca-Cola Company, where I talked my way into an interview, and 20th Century Fox where I applied on the internet. The odds of being hired for both position were low. This said, I am seeking guidance to go back to work.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
My passions consist of travel, self-development, health, and video editing. I've been looking for a way to piece it all together and find my path. I truly believe that corporate America is not right for me and that I don't belong in a cubicle, however I get immense pressure from my parents and just society in general to go the corporate route. As you said in your video, I know I have a gift to share with the world, but I get so overwhelmed when having to "pick" a job. I know I'm kind of all over the place here, but I guess what I'm trying to say is what I want is a career in which I get to utilize most or all of my passions and not have to settle for a corporate office job.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I'm only 24 years old and right now I feel very stuck and confused about what career steps I should be taking. After graduating college I moved to Florence, Italy and worked for a student travel company doing sales, marketing, and tour guiding. It was a dream job and I felt incredibly happy during my time there. After a year of working and about 3 months of solo travel throughout Europe, I moved back home. Ever since, I've been very lost and misguided, and even a little depressed (which is very unlike me). I landed a sales job with a tech startup by my home, but was absolutely miserable and quit after only 2 months. So right now I'm pretty much back to where I started and I feel that professional help or coaching would do me wonders.
What do you want instead?
My happiness is the number one thing that is being impacted. I've always been a very happy and positive person, I've always been very passionate about self-development, and my family and friends sometimes even come to me for their problems. Being unhappy is not an emotion that I'm use to, especially for someone who felt like they had their mindset and emotions all figured out.
Money would be the next thing being impacted. Right now I'm living at home with my parents without an income. They have been very helpful in supporting me thus far, however it's time that I start making my own money. I don't have any big responsibilities yet as far as rent, bills, spouse/kids go, but I want to be successful and make good money while doing something I'm passionate about.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I would feel like me again. I would be the happy and inspiring person that I have always been. It would certainly put my parents at ease and it would simply allow me to enjoy life again.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I feel that I am facing my most challenging obstacle in life thus far. In addition, the pressure to "figure it out" is weighing on me considerably as I'm only getting older.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I want a job in HR that is an individual contributor role, with room to grow onto the Management track within a stable organization. It would be ideal if I had a supportive boss and worked at a dynamic, positive cultured environment.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I have been unemployed for the past 6 months since my last position underwent a major merge and acquisition from a global company. Although I get several interviews, I have not once been offered a single job offer. Frustratingly, I always end up going through the entire interview process, and I make it to the top 2 or 3 but it seems to end there...
What do you want instead?
Obviously our financial health is starting to deteriorate. Putting so much energy into finding a job, and going through the promising interview processes just to get the cold shoulder has made me quite depressed, and has effected my marriage minimally. This in turn has made me feel less motivation in terms of my own personal health and working out or eating well. I feel further away from what I want to do....
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I feel like if I finally got to exactly what I have been looking for, my whole life would be turned upside down. I would feel ecstatic, exuberant, and feel like I have purpose in my life that I value doing. It would have a positive effect in my relationships as well as on my financial and personal health.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
It has been more months than I anticipated for me to be out of work and its time for crisis management, so to speak, thus why I am seeking help right now. I need to understand what I am missing or what I can do to improve my ability to get job offers.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
**To contribute meaningfully
**While making decent money
**With a great deal of flexibility
**Purpose
**Form meaningful relationships
**Some financial independence
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
*Lack of flexibility
*Disenchantment w/current profession (teaching/substitute teaching)
*Been a stay-at-home-mom
*Single mom, Divorced, litigious ex, special needs child
What do you want instead?
*Lack of money
*Stress
*Low Self-worth/lack of purpose
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
Some financial independence that contributes to my family and to community in a meaningful and joyful way; that allows for the flexibility to be there for my young kids (7 and 9 yrs.old). I'm hoping to find how some of my skill set and experiences might translate to other careers or jobs. I'm open to training, more education/schooling, certification, etc. for new experiences and challenges.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I have had a lot of significant changes in the last year, and certainly in the last five years - coming out of a 20 year marriage, court proceedings, custody issues, and a recent relocation to California. With some acceptance to things I cannot change (& I mean this relocation), I need to now focus on rebuilding a life (again) for my children and myself. I need a new look at my skill sets, talents, experience so that I can re-enter a work environment that gives me joy and satisfaction but also keeps my time for my kids a priority. I also greatly desire some financial freedom from my ex. I'm ready, willing, and able.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I want to go into a job, knowing I can do it with confidence. I do not want to worry about all the minutiae, nor "wear my emotions on my sleeve"! I'd like to be able to lead a team with confidence, and help individuals be better workers, a better person, and have an impact on their lives.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
My confidence in my ability to do the job. Currently it is my older age and working with younger people who can't seem to relate to me,and also being a diverse group. My work ethic-Working very hard, seems to be the opposite of workers today.
I was told I have a learning disability, so some tasks take longer for me to understand, and complete. I tend to be a perfectionists, over thinking things, being very methodical in how I'm going to handle a task, to get the job done right. Today's employer just wants it done now.
What do you want instead?
The challenges impact my life a great deal, because I put a lot of credo into my job. For years it did define me. I get stressed when I can't do the tasks at 100% level. Making mistakes affects me deeply. I worry about making enough to support myself. Stress is never good on the body.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I'd feel I was making an impact in others lives, and also myself. I'd feel empowered, re-energized.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I plan on working well past retirement age, if I can physically and mentally. I love keeping busy, & making a difference in one's life. My current job has left me doubting myself everyday. I thought this job was going to be the last company I'd be at-retire. It was everything I wanted in a job; varied hours, great co-workers(felt like family), location, dress attire, not boring-everyday is different. When I was revising my resume, I realized I don't have a specific job title. I am what they say "Jack of all trades, master of none". I'd like to know my purpose in life

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
Not knowing which field to get into that is more aligned with who I am.
What do you want instead?
Not knowing which field to get into makes me not be present in the now because I'm constantly thinking about what am I supposed to be doing with my future. In relationships, I've been distant from my partners because of this reason which has pushed them away. Not being happy with my current job makes me not be fully into what I'm doing which makes me uninterested and thus effecting my job performance and salary increase. Constantly thinking about what is fit for me as far as a career, not being present in the now and in my relationships and not making enough money have all impacted my level of happiness.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
After 27 years of marriage, I divorced last year. Having been married since I was 19 years old, I never developed a professional self. I have experience in education, and was accepted into USC's post-secondary educational counseling masters program. However, upon divorcing, I panicked and enrolled in an MBA program at Loyola as earning potential seemed to become paramount. The MBA has turned out not to be a good fit. While I left the program with a 3.8 GPA, I was not satisfied with the coursework, and new I would ultimately be unhappy continuing. Since I deferred my admission to USC, they still have a spot for me in next year's class. But I wonder if it is the right move. Am I overlooking something that would be satisfying personally and financially? USC represents a huge financial investment, and I want to make the right move. I need to have a clear vision of where I am going.
What do you want instead?
I feel adrift and unsteady about how to proceed. I am tremendously anxious and afraid for my future. I have lost my confidence and struggle with my sense of self-worth.

Moving up to the next level. Have been relatively successful as an engineer in the medical device industry. Feel I am capable of moving to up but haven't been able to make a big impact on the organizations I'm at, and advance in responsibility and position. Was let go from a turbulent start-up company and recently included in a lay-off. Beginning to feel unconfident and doubt myself a lot.
Always have a lot of entrepreneurial ideas floating around in my head which I pursued with little success a few years back sometimes I doubt whether chosen career is my true path but I think if i were able to find a little more success and have more impact in this field i would be happier on this path.
What do you want instead?
Rest of life is great. Happy marriage to a wonderful wife, great home, and a newborn who just arrived 🙂 However I feel like my troubles in career can spill over and cause me to be not as focused on my family when I should be. Have a lot of negative thoughts in my head about work that impact general happiness.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I want to enjoy my work; I want it to feel engaging, energizing, relatively challenging, and fulfilling. I want it to leverage my strengths and to help me grow. I want to feel like the work I am doing is benefiting others. When I wake up in the morning, I want to look forward to the day ahead rather than dreading it. When I talk to others about my job, I want to feel excited and proud to share. I want to feel clear about what I want, empowered to move toward it, and hopeful about my future. I also want to stop struggling financially; I want to do what brings me joy while also experiencing financial freedom.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I'm not sure where to go next in my career. I have no plan for the future. I started out as a teacher, which I thought was my passion and calling, but there were so many aspects of the job that weren't working for me, I left the profession. Then, I had a job I enjoyed very much after that for two years, but the company closed after losing a major client. Now, I'm in a job that I took to pay the bills, but I'm not fulfilling my desire for feeling engaged in and passionate about my work. I've done lots of thinking and research about what to do next. However, I'm overwhelmed about how many options there are and not sure if any of them are right for me.
What do you want instead?
I'm spending hours every week researching grad schools and jobs. Almost every conversation I have with friends and family turns into a soul-searching and/or venting session on my part. I feel sad and ashamed when I hear others say they love their jobs or talk about their success. I feel anxious and unsettled, even hopeless, about my future. I feel like I can't relax until I have this figured out.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
Instead of starting each work day by brainstorming ideas about how I could avoid having to go to the office, I would be excited to return to my work because it is something I genuinely enjoy doing. At work, instead of watching the clock and wishing time would move faster, I would be in flow for most of the day. I would feel myself growing and expanding in knowledge and skills; I would feel guided by inspiring leaders and mentors and supported by a team of peers. I would feel like my job is a reflection of who I am at my core; I could be my authentic self, use my gifts, and my job would be an integral part of my life rather than something I do just to pay the bills and stay busy. My job would complement other aspects of my life and vice versa.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I'm feeling stuck and overwhelmed. I'm trying to Google my way to my next steps, and it's been exhausting and ultimately fruitless. I don't want to burden my family and friends with trying to help me figure this out. While I don't have a hard deadline for making a change, I don't want to stay in this place of indecision and not-knowing, where I've been now for 18 months or so. I have a pretty good sense of what I want my life to feel like; I'm just not sure what career path lends itself best to that. I'm hoping a coach can help me to get clear on my options and zero in the one that feels best for me. I'm also hoping a coach will help me find the courage to be at peace with the unknown and discomfort that inherently accompanies making a change.

What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
Much more full.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
Frustration and stress/ hopelessness in my current working environment. The general sense that I will be stuck here for the next five years if I let myself be.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
A creative job where I don't have to absorb the stress of people around me. I'm an empath and I tend to get stressed out by others. I also tend to fix a problem when I see one. That combination makes me good at my job and bad at taking care of myself.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I no longer love what I do. As I have climbed the ladder I've gotten farther away from why I got into the business. I miss being creative. Most of my job is about solving crises all day and doing very tedious tasks like budgets and schedules. I feel smarter than most of my bosses at my current job and I don't respect the way they run their company. At this point in my career I can either make a lateral move or start my own company. I'm the primary breadwinner so making the leap is anxiety producing. It's hard to look for a new job when you don't want to do what you're doing anymore.
What do you want instead?
When I feel trapped I get depressed and anxious. My husband is amazing. His work is unpredictable so that makes me the stable income. He feels guilty and I feel tired.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I'd be happy all around. I'm a work a holic, it would be nice to work at something I found rewarding for someone who appreciated me.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
My job is awful

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I really don't know. I teach an online brand strategy class- but I don't have the background to teach much beyond this at the moment. (I only have an MA vs. PHD). I enjoy teaching, but I can't focus on it as much as I'd like.
I want to do something where I put my skills to use, help people, create great work and thrive.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
For years I was excelling in my field (advertising/marketing) and in my job. I felt like I made such a name for myself that I didn't even change my last name when I got married- I had so many connections and life was great. I saw my agency leadership (who loved me, promoted me, fought for me to receive raises) running the company into the ground and I networked into a new job in Jan 2015. This new job was ALWAYS a get out plan, and I really wanted to make it work. I did amazing in the role, did great work, but the agency just wasn't what I was looking for. I left after one year and started at what I billed after lots of searching as my dream agency.
My current agency has great things going for it/me. Work/Life balance, an employee garden, privately owned, a great culture, smart-creative co-workers, a fantastic boss. The agency has all of that still going for it for the most part, but after 6 months of great feedback- we had a baby and I took a leave that everyone was very supportive of. When I came back, I thought I was transitioning back really well. I was a little more preoccupied and didn't work constantly any more - and admittedly did lose a bit of attention to detail. I received bad feedback from 2 of the 3 directors in my group, by way of my boss, after 6 weeks back in the office. I was stunned. I then received a follow-up feedback on 2.15 from my boss who told me she could see what the other directors were talking about and was concerned I was not demonstrating the right skills to move forward in my role, but we set about on how to move forward and prove I have those skills. My review came two weeks later with a Performance Improvement Plan- another shock to my system that I truly was not expecting. It feels like that 2.15 feedback was just a set up to the review so that my boss could check a box that said 'we've discussed.' I feel as though if I was valued, these would be pieces to improve upon vs. a PIP. The review was also demeaning, scathing and narrow- it felt like a review of the month of December vs. a review of my full past year. The negative comments were largely from one or two directors.
The BIG challenge I have is, I love this place and the people but there is no way up because I have a black cloud on me from the three people in charge of my department. I have to leave... and I am job searching to get out and move latterly... but is this what I want to keep doing? Advertising is crazy, and I know I'm actually great at LOTS of parts of it. But what on earth else can I do with my life?
Another challenge is I really don't want to be paid any less than I make now. I know career changes often come with a reduction in salary, but kids and life are expensive and I want to retire early.
I am certainly not perfect, I think some of the feedback was helpful and I can use it to my advantage to improve.
What do you want instead?
Relationships: Truthfully, for YEARS I have prioritized my career over my husbands. I get to go upstairs and work and he takes care of the laundry and other house things. This is getting worse because we have an 8 month old and I fear I will miss out on things because my workload is so heavy. I just want a stable job, where I'm happy and I don't have to think about it constantly.
Money: I feel like I'm paid well. I don't necessarily want to make more, but as I stated I really don't know how much less I want to make.
Health: Since we have a child, I've for sure prioritized him and work and not myself and my gym habits. Because of this review, I feel more tied to prove myself to my company, though I know I will ultimately leave. I do not want to let my colleagues down and the ad world is small. I want to leave on good terms with everyone, and really have my directors regret me leaving.
Happiness: I fear I won't be able to
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
Well. I was happy. I wrote on my review " It was my first year, but it’s been a good one. I’d say it is the first time in quite a while that I haven’t been actively browsing LinkedIn or networking and trying to find a place that fits, this fits."
When I'm happy at my job, I don't complain or gossip- I love my co-workers and the work I'm doing. I actively recruit friends to come work with me and be happy too. I make time for myself, I don't mind having less work/life balance because I care about my co-workers, clients and projects. I'm not bitter or angry. I'm my best self.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
My performance improvement plan is forcing me out the door, and forcing me to look at other jobs. The way my review and the PIP were written make it clear that I will not succeed, and that I am not as valued as I thought I was. When I look at agencies and marketing manager roles, I know where I fit... but I keep thinking "is there SOMETHING ELSE I could and should be doing?!". I have one life, I enjoy working, I don't want to settle, I want to be happy in the long term and not have to do the agency jump every other year.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I need to change careers and I'm willing to change anything about me to make it necessary. I've been very successful in my career and even obtained my Business Management degree while working. I still feel undervalued by my employer and there was never an opportunity for growth. Since my experience is in sells, I earned a certificate from National Association of Pharmaceutical Sells Reps. I knew that they get compensated well for the work they do;however, I was unaware of the experience required to land a job i that industry. I went about it on a hunch rather than research. Now I'm in need of some direction, I'm getting older and don't have anymore time for unproductive endeavors,

What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I'm not sure if I'm looking for happiness in a career. I'll take if possible though! I would like to fill a since of fulfillment and contentment in my work. My experience with happiness has been that it's contingent upon what's happening and I know that there are many variables in the work environment to contend with.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
The fact that I've been given notice that my position is going away mid August and that I need clear direction to move on. I'm about to turn 47 in April and time is of the essence. I'm very energetic and can make change necessary for me to succeed.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I seem to be lost between 2 career paths that I have started. I started in accounting and worked my way up to a manager of accounting. Then I moved into IT as a business analyst. Now I have been away from accounting to where it feels like companies are looking for more current work experiences. I seem to not have enough experience as a business analyst for companies. I feel lost.

I have no clue what I want to do, I think that is what half the battle is.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
Having good work history and experience, but not knowing what it is exactly that I want to do. I am very driven, but never feel the way I want to feel from the work I have done over the years. I have tried switching industries and other things, but I never feel as though I love what I am doing.
What do you want instead?
Happiness is the biggest thing that is feeling disconnected at this time, and my health I believe is being impacted from the work I am doing and the stress that comes along with it. I am making money that I am okay with, but I am missing that fulfilled feeling that others who love their jobs talk about.

Right now I feel like my energy is off and that my wheels are spinning, but I am staying in one place and not moving forward.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I want a balanced life that allows for somewhat of a life outside of work- at least the ability to take better care of myself. I want to be less stressed about my financial situation and have a feeling of security/confidence in my career.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
Feeling like I am stuck and unable to get to the next step as far as utilizing the skill set I have developed, and/or knowing how and what skills to develop. I spent 7 years getting a PhD, and have ended up on a very different track (non professor route but still at a University). I haven't taken the time to process what I really want and how to get there.
What do you want instead?
It impacts every aspect of my life! My relationship is strained, my health is not great, I am not making a salary that reflects my education/skill level. I have worked hard but feel like it is not paying off in the way that I need. Hence, I need to make a major change to get me where I need to go.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I want to have a healthy career where I can take on contracts and be adequately compensated and grow my company into a sustainable, profitable, healthy company and eventually hire an appropriate team to expand my throughput.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
Thank you for taking the time to take my application.
I am stunted career wise. I'm a software developer who learned everything on the job and have been with the same company for 5 years.
The company refused to hire a lead programmer since I started working here. So, I've inherited the role since day one. Unfortunately, my wage hasn't matched my responsibilities for a long time.
I've been able to supplement my income with additional work but this company I am working with has a project 5 years old that would melt down if I leave. The owner's motto is "quickest fastest cheapest easiest" and won't pay for anything other than "it's working". I feel I have a responsibility to this company for giving me my first programming position but I've out grown it and the tension between me and my boss is always high.
He refuses to pay me an adequate developer salary ($28/hr as a contractor as of now) because he doesn't have enough income but refuses to take higher level work to pay me more because all of my time is ate up by rewriting legacy systems that are broken.
He won't hire anyone to help him sort out his mess or anyone who he tries leaves or is fired.
In the meantime, there's a second half of the company that is profitable that was created and profitable since before I (or any other developers) started that sustains the rest of the company. Another developer here has taken on the responsibility of that project but complains on a near daily basis that he doesn't have any work to do and all the programming is outsourced. He then works 5 hours a day and is being paid more than I do on top of personal bonuses for the profitability of the project.
In my personal business, I've been hired by a business man to try to save a project I didn't know was failing. He mentioned to me that he's already invested $500k into this project but he can't pay me a regular salary until it's profitable and I feel this responsibility prevents me from taking any more work.
This then makes me insecure about my income and ability to support my self and keep my house (Very modest, $800/mo mortgage).
I filed E-ALLY LLC last year but haven't used it yet but want to migrate all of my work through this LLC and find a sustainable, manageable work life balance that can provide security for me and my future family.
What do you want instead?
I feel I'm falling behind from the rest of my friends and family starting families but I do want to be a part of the next generation and get married sometime soon. I believe in being stable and secure before taking on that kind of responsibility though.
My personal relationships suffer because of this overwhelming weight of being responsible for cleaning up everyone's mess then I can't fix my own. My house is a mess and I end up procrastinating and feeling depressed because my house is very important to me and I can't take care of it and feel I risk losing it if I don't keep this (not so) secure source of income.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I would have credibility in my field and a healthy sustainable source of income that enables me to focus on a family and personal growth.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I am doing a terrible job at helping my self! I don't know what the best or most moral decision is and I feel I'm at my wits end under an unmanageable work pile and everyone else's responsibilities but my own and crippling procrastination because I feel unequipped to do so.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
To be a part of something where I am challenged to utilize my skills and intelligence to their fullest, to work with and manage a team to achieve organizational goals, to feel like the work I'm doing matters and is making a significant impact on the world around me for the better, to feel important and valued within my organization and respected by my personal and professional piers because of my professional achievements.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
Not being challenged to think. Not having position and experience respected or valued. An organization without mission, vision and drive. No opportunities for advancement or development anywhere in sight.
What do you want instead?
Depression, poor diet and exercise habits, feelings of inadequacy and doubt, constant anxiety and stress that negatively impacts happiness with marriage; money is ok for now, but have longer term goals requiring a significant salary increase.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
Fulfilled and mentally free of the guilt of not living up to my full potential. Free to focus on the things and people I should and do care about more than my job.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
Beginning in mid September, right after I got back from my honeymoon, I began my job search in earnest. I had planned to do this at the start of the summer when my then job search efforts were interfering with wedding planning and causing my fiancé to want to kill me. Since September, I have applied to a total of 63 positions. I applied to anything at any organization with "marketing" or "communications" and "director" or "manager" in the title. I also sent out general applications and employment inquiries to every communications, marketing, and ad agency/firm in Albany, Schenectady and Troy. Of the total 63 submissions, six are still "open" or pending and 57 are "closed." Of the 57 that are "closed," 25 I never received a response from my initial outreach, 15 I outright rejected with no request for an interview, 12 I received initial responses but haven't heard anything back from in over two months, and five I was rejected from after receiving an interview. In the face of those figures, I was getting more than a little discouraged. Despite the results, I chose to (attempt to) stay positive and have opened myself to the possibility that I may not be going about my job search the right way and admitted that I might need help. And that's where I am now.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
Effective communication is a vital skill to succeed in business and relationships. I am seeking ways to improve my communication skills so I can excel in school, in job interviews, and as a team leader.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
1 - My inability to effectively communicate in a clear & articulate manner. My direct communication style often foregoes a thought-out response and sounds scattered without direction.
2 - Sometimes feel like I lack motivation and find myself unproductively browsing the internet or watching TV instead of developing and pursuing goals.
What do you want instead?
Outside of my current job/internship hunt life is great - good family & friends, excelling in graduate school, no financial concerns. My poor communication skills are keeping me from succeeding in interviews and explaining myself in classes.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I would feel like I had a sense of purpose with goals that I would be striving to accomplish.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I am currently a graduate student and, despite being the best candidate for a recent job that I had highly sought and prepared for, I was rejected from the position due to my inability to effectively communicate in the interview (I believe). I have noticed this recently as I hear myself speak in classes and notice that I often jump around in my answers and miss vital points that I had wanted to mention.
The career center at my school is not stellar, so I am seeking a more experienced professional to help me develop a strategic plan to improve my communication skills, identify & pursue career goals, and improve day-to-day motivation.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I am trying to fill career voids with entrepreneurship. I am working on starting a Bookkeeping business and also feel I would be good at professional coaching. I figure it is best to put as much of my success in my own hands. The corporate environment can let you down.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
My career started off well, but has plateaued. I am 46 years old and still in a middle management. I had a divorce 4 years ago that really set me back, emotionally and professionally. I had just been hired as a Principal in a Consulting firm with great potential when this happened. My emotional state was not good and I ended up leaving that role and moved backwards, largely due to fear and insecurity. My career started off as being a CPA with a large global professsional services firm. I found my way to technology and consulting, and sometimes miss finance. I am now a corporate technology manager.
What do you want instead?
Admittedly, my career is a very large part of my sense of self worth. I try not to compare my position with colleagues and friends who have achieved higher leadership positions, but it is difficult. It is more that I believe I have greater potential than I have realized. My situation does adversely impact my happiness and relationships at times.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I believe my personal happiness would be greater, which would postively impact other areas of my life. It is also a function of achieving what I believe is within my capabilities. I honestly believe I can do better, and find more passion for my work. In a way, I believe I have self-sabotaged my career due to some insecurities. They say you will never rise to a level that is beyond your feeling of self worth.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I am 46 years old and have always been a "do it yourself" person. Read a book, or 20 books, and implement what they say. It hasn't worked.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
My challenge is getting selected for an interview for positions to which I have applied for on-line, including when my resume has been endorsed by a current employee of that firm. My background is unique; educated in the US, career in Europe with an even mix of small and large companies in the telecom sector.I have been consulting part-time since my relocation from Brussels to Silicon Valley in Jan 2015. My professional network is largely in Europe. Historically, I do very well in interviews and have great references from all of my previous positions.
What do you want instead?
I'm pretty resilient, so I'm actually surprised it hasn't impacted me more. I'm very physically active and I think exercise has been key. I also am very social and have found ways to stay busy and create local networks, although these new contacts have not yet resulted in being selected to fill open positions. I was recruited for my previous positions.

I've worked in the same job for an artist for four years as well as freelance positions in the art work for artists and galleries. However I went to grad school a couple years ago to make a career space change to tech and will be finishing in May. I will also be relocating from New York City to Los Angeles at that time. Not having worked praise of the art world I'm a little lost worth how to apply for jobs at a company and what positions I should be going after.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
To be creative while making money. I also have artistic goals (writing a novel, doing some acting on the side, painting) that I want time to pursue. My current position is 24/7 with no set time away from work. I don't see this changing, given the attitude of my boss.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I spent a long time trying to be an actor early in my career which put me behind the eight ball. Mid-career, I became a graphic designer and went to work for a small interior design company. I am now working with an entrepreneur on a start-up, and it's not what I want to be doing. I need to be doing something creative, which this was while we were in the development phase, but I have no interest in the operational issues that my position has evolved to address. I'm getting older, so I worry about what options are open to me.
What do you want instead?
All of those issues (money, relationships, happiness) are impacted. My health is one thing that is very good because I work at it.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I would be, well, happy, right?
What is causing you to seek help right now?
Frustration with how my career has evolved. My boss is under a lot of stress and takes it out on me. Also, just awareness of time's winged chariot drawing near compels me to consider how I want to spend the rest of my life.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I think I want to be involved in the music industry. After all I moved to LA to pursue it, but this industry is tanking and I'm afraid to dive into it and take a major step backwards financially. I have a lot of demonstrable talent as a performer and a businessman.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
Not necessarily in an industry I care to be in (AV). Although I am quite good at my job, it is not fulfilling. It's just stuff. I work for a big company and I'm not advancing after 4 1/2 years of paying my dues. I find myself sad and depressed at work even though I have everything most people would want in a job--- a supportive manager, fair compensation, an office, a flexible telecommute schedule.
What do you want instead?
My mental health and attitude keep me from being happy and making long term, meaningful relationships at work. My financial life is great, relationship with my wife is good, my health is ok, but my job puts me in situations where drinking affects my weight and mental acuity. My mental health is all over the place.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
It would be fulfilling. I would have purpose. After all it's 70% of my life, it should be fun.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I have new opportunities in the AV industry lined up because I have great skill and interview well, the job offer is imminent, and yet i'm fearful if I accept it, it will continue to push me farther away from my career purpose. My current job, while unsatisfying, is still close to the music industry. Although I'm not 100% sure what I want anymore. I am fearful of losing my financial position.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I am a software engineer with 35 years of experience.
I am almost 56 now, and I am not as fast with thinking and learning new technologies as I used to be.
My short term memory is worse than before, and I have to make extensive notes when I am working on the projects,
which in turn slows me down even more.
In the current software job market, the emphasis is on the speed of development. When I get a position that requires this speed, I get a lot of stress because I am always behind.
What do you want instead?
Obviously, as I am trying to catch up with the job tasks in my spare time,
there is much less space for family. The stress level threatens my health. And I am worried that when I am laid off,
I will not find the source of income that would be enough to support my family.

I want an extraordinary career. Something I'm passionate about. Something that recharges me at the end of the day, even if it's draining physically, it needs to be spiritually fulfilling and mapped to a bigger, higher purpose.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I'm at the point in my career where I want to be passionate about what I do. I need to be passionate about it if I"m to be a the kind of leader I know that I can be. That can't happen at my existing company and it's time to leave. There are so many things that are interesting to me but what I'm really passionate about is helping others. I'm having trouble though transitioning into that kind of work.
What do you want instead?
i've contained things very well despite being concerned and a bit run down. I was married earlier this year and I've never been healthier (body and mind). But still, I can't go on in this job and need to talk some swift action.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
That's the final piece. I would have a level of fulfillment that could carry me through to retirement. I would be energized, driven, confident, and free of doubt.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I need focus and a strategy. And then I need help executing. I'm having trouble doing this alone. Holding down a job and trying to find my next one + possible career transition, feels to much to do alone. It's frustrating, but true.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I would like to define a goal and a plan to make incremental progress against it, so that I feel like I'm doing something positive for myself and my career even if measurable change is slow. I would like to not feel high adrenaline levels at work every day and to not feel completely avoidant of checking my email or even starting in on my work on a Monday.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
My biggest challenge in my career is finding the right track that I know I want to advance on. I am mid-career and have played a very diverse group of roles in past jobs. I made a big leap to Silicon Valley this spring and while I'm not happy in my position, I can't identify exactly where I might want to go next and in what capacity.
What do you want instead?
I have a lot of stress on me in my life outside of work (my husband is working through cancer, my ex-husband is a stressor on me and my son). Normally my career is where I feel empowered and I get positive feedback that helps me push through the other situations, but since early 2015 this has not been the case and everything in my career is a lot harder. So the cumulative effect is a lot of negative impact on my health and happiness, though my relationships and income are ok.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I would feel a great sense of pride that I am happy and showing my young son that his mom can be a happy, successful provider and role model to him. If was happy and felt a minimum amount of security, I would be able to breathe and relax and spend more time on the things outside of work that fulfill me.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
My mid-career transition to Silicon Valley happened pretty recently. I'm not having the easiest time of it and I want to make a plan.

I have been a compliance officer/manager for financial institutions for 30 years now. My biggest challenge is that senior management rarely understands the value of the position. As a CO you can develop a great compliance program; however, if bank employees do not observe policies and procedures, violations will occur. Management in their ignorance blames the CO.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
To feel capable and impactful in my work, with a sense that I'm moving in a particular direction that makes sense for me, and it would be nice if it also serves my values.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
Tactically, I've been looking for a product manager (digital) job for 3 months.
Strategically, I sense the fit problem could come from many directions: looking at the wrong level, looking at the wrong companies/firms, or even the wrong sector/verticals.
I also fear that motivation issues stem from my personal values not being aligned to profit-driven employers. I want to feel passionate and authentic.
What do you want instead?
On good days being unemployed has helped! But the trend is definitely turning toward depressed days.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I would be living my values. My family would feel the change too.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
Given a pretty rudderless career history, I knew when I got laid off I should seek help. After 3 months I'm sure of it, and see the holiday slowdown as either a chance to rebuild and redirect or sink deeper.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I want to find a career path that I love and will see a future in. I've always loved helping people and realize now I'm the one the needs help/ guidance.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I just can't find the right fit for me anymore. I thought I knew what I wanted but now I'm at a loss. I want to be happy and love what I do and most importantly have stability. I don't have that anymore and am taking a set back to reevaluate what makes me happy. I've decided I need guidance because it's not working on my own.
What do you want instead?
These challenges make me stress out about my finances and they trigger panic attacks. The last time this happened I ended up in the ER because I had a bad attack.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I would be happy all around- with my friends, family, relationship. I would feel like I've accomplished something and would continue to learn and grow in a field I'm interested in.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I lost my job less than a week ago and realize I was so unhappy and they were so ungrateful for all the work I put in. I think it was a blessing in disguise because it'll give me the opportunity to do career searching and find out what's most important to me.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I'm at a point where I would like to consider what other options are available to me due to the scarcity of opportunity in my current career path. I could use some guidance on this front.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I work within the video game industry, however I did not start with a game development degree. Specifically, I did Quality Assurance at a game developer to learn the ins and outs of game development. I worked my way up within that role but eventually found myself limited in growth at the company I was at. I am interested in going into a role akin to associate producer or project manager to continue my career path, but I have found very few job postings for those positions. I feel like I have very few options and have painted myself into a corner.
What do you want instead?
It was enough of a problem that I quit my job this summer to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. That was a life changing experience that helped shape the person who I currently am, but now I am in need of employment with some sort of career path.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
It would relieve a lot of stress. I have a 3 year old child, and I need to have some sort of plan to be able to take care of him financially.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I feel like I have exhausted my current job search within the Video Game field, and that it might be time to move into a completely different field, or at least re-examine my current approach.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I would like to have as stable as a career as possible, and feel like I am in control of what I am doing. I would also like to find some payoff in my efforts in the workplace, a sense of accomplishment and purpose.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
One of the biggest challenges I am facing is adapting to a new, unknown model of doing business. I work in sales, and entered at a time when more value was placed on interpersonal relationships. That seems to have diminished in the past ten years. Another is a saturated marketplace. There are more people in my position these days (some younger and "hipper"), and less work to go around. A lot of people vying for the same pieces of business.
What do you want instead?
It has greatly impacted my life. The less money I've been earning has led to loss of self-worth, which has directly affected my happiness and confidence.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
My life would be much more vibrant. I would have the income to travel and do the things I'd like to do ... I would also be back to my usual self, which is a happy person from within.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
This year has been terrible for me career-wise. I feel like nearly every decision I have made has been the wrong one, and as a result I have "freezed-up" and lost confidence. This has also led to massive financial strain, which has affected my psyche and well-being. I just want to get back on track!

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I no longer feel inspired or creative. Lately the jobs are less pay, less time to produce shows, longer houes, less resources, and more unexperiended team members who are much younger and lack a strong work ethic making it harder for experienced producers to do the job.
What do you want instead?
Because of the long hours, I don't have the time or energy to cultivate healthy friendships nor relationships. The stress of working in this industry has taken a toll on my health: weight gain, hypertension, anxiety, insomnia

- Making more money at my day job. I want to make 6 figures income annually by next 2-3 years.
- Building new technologies instead of maintaining them. Being an all-rounded software developer.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
My biggest challenge is to have an innovative company hire me as a software developer to build new applications. Here are 4 challenges:
1. Lack of expertise with latest technology.
2. Difficult to find target market/employers who would want me and get their attentions.
3. Relocating to unknown area. (I want to move from Minnesota to San Francisco or Seattle)
4. Finding a niche I can get better.
What do you want instead?
1. Lack excitement at my day job.
2. Living in an small town for my job so that I have less opportunities to try new things.
3. Making less money; Saving less.
4. Expert with out of date technologies.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I want to be on a job path with a upward trajectory and room for growth with hard work.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
The entertainment industry by its nature is obviously an extremely difficult and competitive field even under the best of circumstances, so there's that. I have a lot of great qualifications and education (I graduated from the best film school in the world USC with a MFA), but I don't have a lot of experience out in the field or previous employers that can vouch for me.
What do you want instead?
I'm 30 years old, kind of a spoiled trust fund kid, and I feel like I'm coasting at this point in my life and really want to make things happen for myself.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
A life without purpose is no life at all and while I have so many achievements that I am proud of and life enriched with a lot of amazing things, it's time to get out under my parents bubble and create a name for myself.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
Primarily organizational help, I need a plan of attack, I want to make sure that the way I'm packaging myself is the strongest that it can be.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
A clear plan. Confidence that it is a reasonable plan. The ability to apply the plan consistently over a long time frame, in order to achieve the success I seek.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
Consistency and intensity of applying strategy/tactics. Clarity about the way from where I am to where I'd like to end up. Risk averseness. Time management. Confidence to really step out there and know that my plan is sound, and the ability to ask for, and receive the help I need.
What do you want instead?
It's creating a sense of anxiety that time is running out for me to set up a "off ramp" into retirement/the next phase of my career. (And I'm only 38, so there is still time)
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I am not unhappy. Just nervous. It's not particularly fulfilling, but I'm reasonably successful. I am providing a roof over my family's head, and that gives me a huge amount of happiness.I imagine if I were happier, I would have more positive energy, and success.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
A referral/testimonial of a friend whom I have seen you help. The ticking hand of time, which is slowly closing the window to set up my post corporate income stream/ career.

I want a job I wake up to and look forward to doing. Making enough money to support myself. I am not looking to be rich, I just want to be able to support myself.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
Because my degree is in Communication, I find my biggest challenger is finding what exactly I want to do with it. Unfortunately, there are so many different options, it makes me feel stuck. Being an ESFJ, I am a caregiver. I love animals and children however, I love hospitality and sales. Both of which very different career paths.
What do you want instead?
Mainly, I have been more stressed and just indulged more in sugar. My family is fully supportive and that's very important in this process, seeing that I still live at home.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
Overall, my quality of life would be greater. For example, less stress over money (Lord willing) and I would be more independent. I think my parents would be happier too.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I feel extremely stuck. Not knowing which direction to go in or how to get from point a to point b. I can't stay in my current job because it's an unhealthy environment. I need help.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
This is the real question that I would like to have someone brainstorm with me.
As an aside, beside being a CEO for more than 15 companies, I have also self-published a book and have done many talks on "The art & Science of running a business" and "How to create extraordinary results".
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I had been doing business turnarounds and acquisitions for the last 30 years. I loved what I did for all of those. In the recent past (i.e. last couple of years) I discovered that I no longer have a passion for continuing on the same path. found that This is no longer of interest to me. I want to find something different that I can develop a passion for but don't exactly know what that would be.
I want to shift to a different track that can be possibly serve me for the next 10 to 20 years. (I am now 59 years old and in the great physical shape)
What do you want instead?
The main impact is the indecision as to what path to follow.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I am not necessarily looking for a career but rather do something that is more akin to a "calling" that would expand my knowledge, use skills that I homed over the last 3 decades, would be fulfilling, purposeful, and lucrative - - in this order.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I would like someone to help me identify and brainstorm with me possible paths.

A clear(er) path, aggressive growth toward a secure financial future and a meaningful career.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I'm currently unemployed, which is a pretty big challenge... but when I was employed and prior to my layoff, I was sowing the seeds of a more purposeful path. One of my biggest challenges is: how to package the "jack of all trades" history I've had into something meaningful and cohesive moving forward.
What do you want instead?
As I age I realize the importance of pivoting from a more "take it as it comes" position to one in which I'm driving my own destiny more. This impacts relationships, retirement planning, etc.

It would relieve the psychic burden of uncertainty about this very important aspect of life (career).

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I feel as though I have wasted quite a bit of time going down the wrong path. I am currently practicing law in the field of civil litigation, which is ill-suited to my interests and talents. My work environment is hostile and occasionally abusive and the work that I do does not interest or inspire me.

My current job leaves me deflated and exhausted at the end of the day. I don't have the energy, optimism, or the sense of empowerment I need to make a positive and productive change.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I want some direction. I'm very self reflective, I've done myer Briggs, the enneagram review and studied up in general passions which would make my career path clear except I can't decide on one.I've determined that I must do something that has elements of creativity, possibly manages others, has many new challenges, incorporates order (planning), and doesn't need more than potentially a couple extra years of school. I considered the following: Event planningSelf employment -opening a venue or restaraunt Interior( or general )designMarketing for a corporate office
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
My career at present is not fulfilling and it's time to make a major change. I work in state service with no possibility for upward mobility unless I'm willing to spend the next 30 years in the same role. The biggest challenge is getting through my week, it's brutally stagnant, and there is no motivation to work hard. There are minimal challenges, minimal recognition and the work is mindless.
What do you want instead?
The money is consistent and I have good health insurance. It's very secure which I can appreciate but in general the lack of quality and enjoyment in the 40 hours I spend at a desk has put a damper on all other aspects of life. I've found that I am less motivated to do better outside of work because of the structure of the work place. In general relationships money and health have not suffered but happiness has. When you do something so boring all day you lose sight of the excitement life has to offer!
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
The 9-5 wouldn't feel so heavy. If I found the right fit or pursued something I was passionate about, the day to day wouldn't be so defeatist. I would be working toward a goal, meeting a challenge and making a difference in the world, rather than entering data and moving paperwork.

Boredom in my current role and direction for a new career.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
To find a career or freelance work that feels rewarding. Finding a career where I can use my analytical skills. I know this is a broad explanation. I will elaborate further when we meet.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
Just finding a career is my biggest challenge. I'm looking into many different possibilities, and this is my greatest problem. I'm going in too many different directions at once. I really need to start focusing on just a few possibilities or less. The more career advice I receive, the more difficult it becomes to find one. This is because everyone has a different experience with their field and this creates a lot of confusion.
What do you want instead?
The job searching process is a real nightmare. There is nothing more stressful and frustrating then job searching. This process has affected almost every aspect of my life. The more job searching I do the more unhappy I become and the less possibilities come my way.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
This would improve my life tremendously. I would feel rewarded and satisfied.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I career path that is rewarding, utilizes my skills and allows me to do work that I am passionate about.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I haven't really found my passion yet. I haven't found a career that utilizes my interests, passions and skills - something that I would wake up looking forward to doing most days.
What do you want instead?
I don't feel like I'm as happy or as healthy as I could be had I found work I was passionate about. It affects motivation and compensation as well I'm sure.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
Happy and fulfilling. I feel like at the moment I keep running away from jobs quickly looking for something better. I want something that will stick for a while.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I feel that I could use help from a professional to find a fulfilling career path. It's not working on my own so far.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I want to combine my background in performance with a lifelong interest in healing arts and develop a career of working with other people and artists to help them achieve their best in their freedom physically, passion emotionally, and fulfillment spiritually.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
Making a choice to go back to school and how to combine my skills and choose a direction that is personally fulfilling, the right kind of challenging, and honest to my identity.
What do you want instead?
I am unfulfilled right now at my first job outside of an MFA in Music Performance. I don't like going to work. When I get gigs on the weekends, I have a hard time enjoying many of them. My passion and subjects that I find compelling and challenging are left to be dealt with after work hours and I need help to take the right course of action and make those interesting subjects into my career. I am not making enough money at this time for the lifestyle I want and I am not enjoying the job I have.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I would realize the same goals I have for my clients through this work. And be able to live a flexible lifestyle with lots of variety, travel, and engagement with new people and ideas.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I need it. I am having trouble identifying the next steps to realize this goal and don't want to wait another minute to get started. Also, two of my coworkers gave their notice this week at my current job and over 50% of the department has turned over since I began last August!

If money were not an issue; coach/teach/mentor/build teams.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
-What I do daily is not well aligned with my passions or my temperament but a means to a living.
-I have favored the excitement of start-ups were, due to their nature, the market place and opportunity are not well understood (technology/process management solutions). Challenge has been finding opportunities that were actually what they appeared.
-Need for others to execute well for everybody to be successful.
What do you want instead?
Earnings have been up and down. Job satisfaction is not what I would have hoped. Fortunately, relationships, health and personal happiness are pretty good.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I would expect lower stress and greater satisfaction in a big part of my life.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I keep getting stuck in jobs that feel out of alignment for me. I had a very major career transition 2 years ago, stepping down on grade, salary, benefits and prestige with hopes for fulfillment in return for the sacrifices, but unfortunately the change was not a good experience for me either. Now I am at that point where I have no clue what to do, since what I felt was right failed to work out too.
What do you want instead?
I feel deeply unhappy most of the time. It has affected every aspect of my life - finances, relationships, health, everything, worst part is I feel like life is going by, and I am just marking time, which is painful as I started my career full of energy and was regarded as high potential material by my first sets of leaders in my professional life.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
Good question.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
Helped sell the last company I was with and my time with acquiring company ends June 31. I have been searching for my next opportunity for a while now and am feeling stuck. Could use help putting a strategy in place for my search moving forward. I have been in Sales Leadership with SaaS Companies. I feel a bit boxed in and would like to explore my strengths and passions and re-evaluate what exactly I am looking for.
What do you want instead?
Obviously stress and uncertainty - have family with three kids and need to provide for.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
This is definitely important and will carry over into other aspects of my life. If I am productive and contributing while exercising my best talents - emotionally I will be in a much better position to be useful and purposeful all the other areas of my life.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I am feeling stuck in my search and feel the need to take inventory and re-evaluate.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
As I already stated - My goal is to find a place/organization where sharing and cooperation is a core value. Where human potential and spirit thrive.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I hate competing with my co-workers, and they're all mostly taught to be competitive.
My goal is to find a place/organization where sharing and cooperation is a core value. Where I can learn and grow generating enough income to contribute to the well-being of my family.
What do you want instead?
The impact of cut-throat competition, elbowing and isolating me at work took a tall on my health. However, as a yogi I know how to manage my stress. So, health wise I'm back to normal but career wise I found myself in a limbo. So, that's the main reason that I started looking for executive coaching.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I'll be thrilled by the fact of that my service/work meaningfully contributes to the growth of the organization I work for. So, I will feel content and joyful.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
As I previously said I found myself in a sort of limbo, and I want to work with a professional around this situation.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I want to feel in control of my own destiny.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
Short-term: "Closing the deal". I have been interviewing for a number of roles and have frequently made it to the final rounds, but none of them seem to work out. Initially, I want to focus on what I could be doing differently in those situations.
Long-term: I've been underemployed (a series of contract roles) for four years, and I think that, once the short-term issues are addressed and my situation has stabilized, it would be a good idea to examine my bigger-picture plans.
What do you want instead?
Health is good. Everything else ... could be better.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I'd feel a lot more grounded and a lot less stressed.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
My current approach doesn't seem to be yielding results.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I am not sure about that. I have explored the idea of being an entrepreneur, but not sure if that's what I want.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I feel, I never get what I deserve. I work hard, always try to do more than what my job requires, but always end up getting passed over for promotions. I always have good ideas, great energy but people who are least concerned about their work tend to get promoted much more easily. I wonder if there is anything I am doing wrong or if i am in the wrong place.
What do you want instead?
I have always been academically good. I always had the attention of my parents and people around me. My friends have always looked up to me and have relied on me as a very good advisor.However, when I am unable to get the same attention at work, I feel like I am losing out. I have always been competitive, and seeing other less accomplished people succeed really makes me feel horrible. This impacts everything in my life. I am very career oriented and success in career really affects my happiness and personal life.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I will be better able to enjoy my everyday life if I was happy in my career.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I feel trapped, stuck in a situation that I really feel the need to get out of.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I want a career that can fully exploit my strength in finance and accounting. I want a decent job that not only pays my bills, but one that also gains respect and have true sense of fulfilment.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I felt frustrated when I immigrated to US 3 years ago with my wife and tried to get a finance/accounting job to set my foot in the door of corporate America, but was totally unsuccessful. Although purely from my resume, I should land in a pretty good job given that I have an MBA, an accounting degree and 10 years of professional experience. My career is now stagnated for a long time to lots of part time contract assignments which I didn't really love and I have been unable to break through and definitely I need professional career advice at this point.
What do you want instead?
As my inability to land on a decent job to start my career in US, I have to work several part time jobs to make ends meet. But still my financial burden to pay off the student loan for my MBA stifled me a lot. Because I can't provide enough money to support the family, I don't get enough respect from my wife who is a dentist and makes far more money than I do. I started to lose sleep and my self-confidence level is at all time low. Overall, I don't enjoy my current career choices and don't feel happy at work.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I would enjoy what I do daily at work, and achieve work life balance. That means I have time and money to do things that I really want to in spare time- travelling, reading books and listening to great music. At the same time, I will win back the respect long owed from my wife, my friends and classmates at B school.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I want professional advice on my career path, clear and insightful, with actionable steps to achieve my goals.

How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
Just finished a tough year coming in as a lateral mid-level (manager) hire. It didn't work out well and I just accepted a new job that I feel is a stretch so I'm pretty nervous and anxious. Lack of confidence and initiative seem to be big problems recently, and are exacerbated badly with the anxiety that comes from negative feedback and setbacks.
What do you want instead?
Mainly it affects my performance at work but it has also made me miserable and affects my marriage as well. It got pretty bad this past year.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
Make the most of my abilities. Less anxiety, even if higher stress. Ability to compartmentalize work and home better so i'm a better husband and father.

Starting a new job and very worried about repeating this past year.

I am happy and have a knack for engaging with my friends on a more meaningful level, but with no money coming in I am limited in what I can participate in. I also have an injured leg that nobody seems to be able to help me with so I would like the finances to seek the help of a specialist so that I can exercise like I used to.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I would be proud of the work that I do and that would show in my engagement with everyone I know. I am a happy person and have wonderful friends, but being happy in my career would allow me to express that more fully.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I realize that I CANNOT do this alone. I have tried for a long time and it is just not working. I need help and I am no longer able to deny that. I am looking for the right fit with a coach. I hired a coach last year who was horrible and unable to help me. I am now wiser in such things and ready to find the right person who can guide me in the right direction.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I would like to have a job with a great, highly ethical company, doing meaningful work and getting paid handsomely for it. I would also like to establish boundaries for myself that lead to a well-balanced life.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I feel like I have become a jack of all trades and an expert of little. I work hard and am happy to do so, but I tend to burn out b/c I have no direction and don't end up doing work that I love.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I want equity in what I do. I want to have tangible results from my actions in terms of managing/building/creating something as opposed to only entering numbers into a spreadsheet.

I'd like to make a shift in my career, but am not sure what direction to go in. I've been an investment analyst for 10+ years and am now looking for more of a manager/operational roll.
What do you want instead?
I have not been happy or satisfied in my role for many years.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
Be able to make a tangible difference. Have a work hard, play hard approach.

I've struggled for several years to figure out what I'd like to do with my life or even what the next step should be. Seeking help is long overdue.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I would really like a career that isn't stagnant, where there are opportunities to move up and where I can have a greater role in making difference. I really enjoyed what I was doing when I had an active role in helping with the strategic plan of the company, I felt empowered and part of the solution. It was hard work but very enjoyable.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I feel like I am stuck in my current position. I have asked about promotion opportunities and have not really gotten a good answer from both my boss and his boss. Also the company is in the process of being acquired and there is a real possibility of layoffs. I feel like I am at a cross roads in my career. I have been at my current company for 10 years and feel like I am in a specialized sector in health care. I would like to expand my horizons so I don't get stuck in this field for the rest of my career.
What do you want instead?
I am the single earner in my house hold and we recently moved from Missouri to Florida. My emergency fund is not nearly at the level it should be in order for me to be out of work. About a year ago I adopted a son, he is doing well but the whole situation is a lot for our family. But really I am bored at work and with all the stress about the acquisition and laying people off, I have really not been myself.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
During my career over the last 10 years my wife and I have agreed that I would focus on the my career and she would focus on our family. I have traveled extensively over the last 6 years, and would really like to reduce that travel some and be able to enjoy a little less time away from my family. I also think if I could feel energized by an exciting career I would also be much happier at home.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I am really concerned about whether I will have a job in a month, as our company is being acquired and we are starting to lay people off. I really want to be prepared if that happens, but even if it doesn't, it is time to figure out what the next step is in my career, because I am no longer confident in my promotional opportunities at my current job.

What are your biggest challenges when it comes to your career?
I want to be able to provide a living for myself and be completely happy in my career. I want to be in an environment that doesnt trigger my anxiety or at least doesn't trigger it too much. And I just basically want to be happy in all areas of my life.
How are these challenges impacting the rest of your life?
I don't have a career; I'm unemployed. I do have a lot of social anxiety/panic attacks/low self esteem that have taken over my life. I am currently working with a therapist on these issues.
What do you want instead?
I don't really have any close relationships outside my immediate family and my beagle, I'm broke and living off mom and dad which really doesn't make me feel so good, my anxiety is getting worse and lately I've been panicking and stressing more. My confidence and self esteem are super low and I'm not really sure what I'm capable of or where I fit in this world anymore.
What would your life be like if you were happy in your career?
I would imagine i would feel more positive, excited about life, full of energy and confident.
What is causing you to seek help right now?
I'm tired of being stuck in the same place and feeling so down about myself and my life. I need someone to help me make a positive change in the right direction.

I have spent the last 10 years working in entertainment and finding success and growth, however, I continue to struggle with the types of personalities associated with my industry and often feel unfulfilled.
