Last week I delivered a presentations 7 Signs You Are Ready to Stretch and Actions to Take to a group of people in career transition.
The 7 signs we focused on were:
- You are restless – feeling an “itch” to do something more or different
- You are seeking – feeling a need for greater purpose in what you are doing
- You are bored – seeking greater passion in your work or life
- You are in a rut – feeling a need to change things up
- You are feeling a pull – feeling ready to act on an idea you have
- You have an opportunity – one that is out of the norm for you
- You are questioning – wondering what impact you are having
Some great conversation too place around these 7 signs. Some thoughts and ideas the audience shared:
- Never close a door until you look through it first – when a new idea or opportunity shows up that is out of your comfort zone, take the time to review it with open eyes and an open mind
- Take notice of what actions you do on a daily basis that are within your comfort zone – begin to take daily small steps out of your comfort zone. This will get you out of your rut, address your restlessness and may even spark new passion
- Volunteer – especially in an area that is out of your comfort zone – may also boost your passion, give you greater meaning and even spark an idea to pursue
What signs are you noticing that it’s time for you to stretch?
