#2 You Can Figure This Out

You know need to make a change, but the idea of starting yet another career, just to end up hating it in a couple of years, makes you want to give up altogether.

You want to find work that comes naturally to you and doesn't leave you exhausted every day, but how?

advice just to end up in another soul-sucking job,

"You're not a conventional coach/counselor/advisor and that's awesome because traditional, weirdly, has not worked for this erstwhile rule follower.
I cannot speak more highly of your integrity, rye wit, intuitive eye and efficacy in validating the humanness of the struggle to identify one’s work in the world."

Outdated, old school, blue suit & tie "professionalism" (and, if you're highly offended by the word "darn," or worse, we aren't a fit). But the elements of modern professionalism that matter — authenticity, integrity, respect, kindness, inclusion, openness and trustworthiness - will come up.

Why You Need a Course
A course takes advantage of your natural brain wiring and helps speed up learning.
As humans, even if we KNOW what to do intellectually, we often don't DO what we know to do.
Change is uncomfortable. It's easy to get distracted by all things "life." Having a structure and daily reminders helps your stay on track automatically. And that's important because consistency is part of the formula for ensuring your career goals turns into your real-life reality.
Having support makes it more likely that you'll continue through the very normal discomfort that comes with change and be able to reach for your goals.
A course also streamlines your education. There are no awards for starting from scratch or reinventing the wheel. You may need to reinvent your career, but you don't need to create the process for figuring out what your path is. The shortcuts in this course will save you decades of trial and error.
Add to all of this my constant encouragement to reach for your dreams long after everyone else has left the theater.
A course is one of the best hacks there is to address our unconscious drive to remain in a state of homeostasis - repeating old patterns that you know don’t work.
ABOUT
Hey there, I’m Shannon and what I know is, if you hate your job right now, it isn’t your fault. We live in a culture that depends on people believing work is supposed to suck. The good news is you have the power to change that. This is a skill you can learn.
I can also tell you that you're not alone. I searched for the work I was meant to do for well over a decade. I’ve had crappy minimum wage jobs and what on paper were “dream jobs.” I was a professional classical singer performing on the most famous stages in New York City. I was a dog musher for a prominent Iditarod racer in Alaska. And I was a CIO and top senior IT executive leading teams in technology and mapping.
In each case where I had “made it” in society’s eyes, I was miserable. None of the jobs felt like me.
I wasn’t fulfilled, I wasn’t fully using my natural talents (mostly because I didn’t understand what they were) and I wasn’t making the kind of impact I wanted to make in my world.
I’d tried to find the perfect career so many times without success that I thought something was seriously wrong with me. Like maybe I wasn’t allowed to have a career I loved and felt passionate about, or maybe having a career I was naturally good at was just a pipe dream.
If you can relate, you need to know that it’s not you. It’s the box you were trained by society to try to fit yourself into. That box, the traditional career path, doesn’t work for everyone—and that’s okay. There is fulfilling work out there that fits you & your personality like a glove. And it’s my goal to help you find it.
My work is informed by my own experience building careers in vastly different industries, over twenty years supervising, managing, leading, and mentoring employees. My own mentors, continuing education, and my studies at the University of Montana, the University of Virginia, and Stanford University.
But the thing I’m most proud of is that, against all odds, the life I have now is the dream I had long ago. Alaska. Based in Talkeetna under the shadow of Denali and the Alaska Range. The ability to make an impact in people’s lives & improve the world around me. Alaska is breathtaking, and I am indebted to the Denaʼina & Ahtna people and their traditional territory where I now get to live & work.
I’m an INFP and my Kolbe index is 3-2-10-4. So I’m an introverted, empathic, innovative disruptor. I’ve been certified as a coach by Kathy Kolbe, a leading authority on human instinct, and Dr. Martha Beck, a Harvard-educated sociologist specializing in human behavior.
I had a boss who said my results always broke the barriers of what he thought was possible.
Now I want to help you break the barriers you face and so you can change your world and the world of everyone around you.

Are You Still Reading?
If you're still reading, something is calling out inside of you.
Life can be more than waiting for the weekend, living out someone else's dream. You're capable of far more. But you need help to break out of the mold.
This change will affect how you're going to feel every day - for the rest of your life.
If you're still on the fence, ask yourself these three questions:
-
What would you accomplish if you weren't in a job that drained you?
-
What is your "good job" really costing you?
-
How much time and money do you spend coping, recovering, complaining, escaping, numbing out, and wasting your precious hours and talents?
There's never going to be a perfect time.
