Let Me Re-Introduce Myself
Hey! I’m Chris, a career clarity coach for driven millennials, supporting them in building a career they LOVE!
If you feel like you’re going through a quarter life crisis in your career right now (1) you’re not alone, I went through this too and it was rough to say the least! And (2) you’re in the right place!
When I went through my own career crisis, I was a few years out of college working at an AMAZING advertising agency in San Francisco. I was in the field of my dreams, working with some of the smartest people I’ve ever met, and working on our agency’s biggest client, Google.
It was the perfect job, on paper anyways.
But, eventually, a funny thing happened. My perfect job began to feel a lot less perfect. I was left scratching my head wondering why?! Because truly, the job checked all my boxes…
Now, if I could teleport back in time and talk to 2014 Chris, here’s what I would tell her:
“You’re feeling off because you’re in a career that’s great on paper, but it’s not really great for YOU. You’ve built success based on what you think you SHOULD do, rather than what you actually WANT to do. And that my dear, will never feel like success.”
It’s a terrifying feeling to realize the reality of your “dream job” isn’t as dreamy as you thought it would be, and it’s even scarier to realize that you have NO IDEA where to go from here…
This is exactly why I started Empowered Achievers! To help YOU navigate the same transition I went through many moons ago, and do it in a much easier way! When I went through my career quarter life crisis, I felt scared and alone, and I don’t want you to ever feel that way.
You absolutely CAN figure out how to build a more fulfilling and engaging career that is right for YOU. But in order to do that, you need to start releasing all the “shoulds” you have about your career and anchor back into what your needs and interests are. Don’t worry, if you’re reading this thinking “oh sh*t! I don’t even know what those are anymore…” They’re still in there somewhere, even if they’ve been ignored for a while... I promise! Take it from someone who has made it through to the other side ;)
Sending you lots of love if you’re “in it” right now! It’s not fun, but I know that you CAN get through it, and you will.
If this experience hit close to home for you, give me a shout — I’d love to hear from you!
xx
Chris
