“Networking is so much more successful than just the online job market and just applying."
Welcome back to another exciting episode of the podcast! In Episode #85, I had the pleasure of chatting with career alignment coach Sarah JanTausch about how to align your career with your core values. This episode is packed with actionable tips and insightful advice to help you navigate your professional journey with authenticity and purpose.
Understanding Core Values
The foundation of aligning your career with your core values starts with understanding what those values are. Sarah emphasizes the importance of identifying your core values as a crucial step in guiding your career decisions. Your core values are the principles that matter most to you in life and work. They are the compass that can help you make decisions that are true to who you are.
Identifying Your Core Values
Sarah shared a few strategies for identifying your core values:
Reflect on Past Experiences: Think about moments when you felt truly fulfilled and proud. What values were you honoring in those moments?
Consider Your Role Models: Who do you admire and why? The qualities you respect in others often reflect your own values.
Evaluate Your Current Job: What aspects of your current job do you enjoy the most? Which parts do you dislike? This can provide clues about what you value.
Using Core Values to Guide Career Decisions
Once you've identified your core values, the next step is to use them to guide your career decisions. Sarah suggests regularly revisiting your values and assessing whether your current job aligns with them. If there's a mismatch, it might be time to consider a change.
Networking Strategies
Networking is a vital tool for career growth, and Sarah shares some excellent strategies:
Leverage Social Media: Platforms like LinkedIn are powerful tools for connecting with industry professionals. Sarah recommends actively engaging with posts and joining relevant groups.
Make Connections as an Introvert: Networking can be daunting for introverts, but Sarah advises starting small. Attend events with a friend, and set manageable goals, like meeting one new person.
Overcoming Self-Doubt
Self-doubt can be a significant barrier to career success. Sarah offers these tips for overcoming it:
Acknowledge Your Achievements: Keep a record of your accomplishments and revisit it when you need a confidence boost.
Seek Support: Surround yourself with supportive people who can offer encouragement and constructive feedback.
Career Pivoting
If you're considering a career pivot, Sarah provides valuable advice:
Research and Plan: Thoroughly research the new field and create a detailed plan for your transition.
Leverage Transferable Skills: Identify skills from your current job that are applicable to the new field.
Finding Work that Matches Your Passions
Ultimately, aligning your career with your core values is about finding work that matches your passions. Sarah stresses the importance of pursuing roles that genuinely excite you and align with what you care about most.
