Are You a Change Seeker? Make Your Skills Work for You
Are You a Change Seeker? Make Your Skills Work for You
Let's look at Rob. At 25, he's been working for three years and already had three different careers! In fact, Rob's goal in the next year is to have one job every quarter, building up as much varied work experience as he possibly can. He only has one concern: Will he be able to choose one career and stick to it? Rob knows that to advance and make more money he needs to specialize - in something. How can he specialize when his interests are so varied?
If you're like Rob, you might share the same concern. Often change seekers are fairly good at everything, so they find it hard to select one profession and stick with it. But take heart! Rather than trying to change your natural style, learn to leverage it.
If you're like many career change seekers, your underlying strengths include:
o A high achievement mindset and orientation
o High energy and motivation - at least until boredom sets in
o Willingness to take calculated risks
o Ability to hit the ground running, even in unknown situations
o Innate curiosity, continually learning as you go
o Breadth of knowledge, knowing something about everything
o A natural enjoyment of continuous learning and growing
All of these traits are highly desirable in an employee. You just need to learn to channel them. Here are some work environments you might enjoy:
o Start-up companies where each day brings new challenges
o Owning your own business or working for a professional service firm where you're expected
to perform as if you're the CEO
o Management, where change is the norm
o Roles in fast-paced, high-impact environments, like the stock exchange, investment dealers,
and venture capitalists
o Global organizations with diverse opportunities that look for employees who thrive on
change
Remember, as a change seeker you embody highly sought-after strengths. Seek a career, job, and environment that embrace diversity, change, and opportunities for ample growth. By leveraging your natural strengths, style, and business savvy, you'll find a career that's just right for you!

In terms of your career, are you always on the move? Do you quickly tire of repetitive tasks and working with the same people day in and day out? Do you jump from profession to profession, industry to industry, and job to job? If so, you are a change seeker.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
