When I worked at BlackRock, I had everything I wanted.
β
Good pay
β
Fancy clothes
β
5-star hotel stays and a generous daily food allowance on business trips
But I wanted MORE.
So I turned to Google for help.
But how wrong I was. How much of a wast of time that was.
You know how Google is. π«
Everyone has gamified the SEO system
So most answers are generic, bland and π― useless.
I went down the π holes of YouTube videos, blogs, personality tests, career books etc.
You name it, I tried them.
I spent years going down this path and still, I couldnβt find the answer to the simple question of: What. Next.
*
The change?
A coach.
It took me years to make that investment
Because I thought that as a Columbia graduate & BlackRock VP
I would π―be able to figure it out.
How silly I was
And I'll let you in on my biggest secret behind how I managed to build a career I truly love -
Investing in my own career coach
He helped:
π₯Keep me accountable
π₯Give me proper structure (so I didnβt go down the wrong rabbit holes)
π₯Had the relevant expertise - after helping many other high flyers make the same career transition
π₯Was the perfect accountability partner - because career switching is terrifying, arduous and lonely.
Having one cheerleader by my side made all the difference.
In fact, my coaching experience was so transformative
I wanted to give back and guide others who feel as lost as I did.
So.
If the above resonates with you, shoot me a DM saying βYESβ & maybe we could work on figuring out what your dream career is? π
