Episode 103: Why Is Figuring Out What I Want So Damn Hard?

Clarifying What We Truly Want From Work

Today we’re tackling that persistent question of what we truly want from work or what we want to do next. We’ll explore whether it really is hard to clarify these things and why it feels hard to answer that question no matter where we are in our lives.

In Our Conversation Today We’re Exploring:

  • Whether and why it truly is that hard to answer the question “What do I really want from work?”

  • Where comparison appears in the quest to find our "why" or purpose

  • How to begin to do the work needed to answer this for yourself and why it’s not a one-and-done endeavor

  • Using personal inquiry, networking, and other strategies well as part of the clarification process

We’d Love To Hear From You!
