Are you a recruiter or another TA professional woman?   If so, you are a HOT commodity right now (really, you've always been on fire but your flames are in HIGH demand right now).   As Billy Squier said in the '80s, "Everybody Wants You"!   But do you want them?    And what about getting all you deserve and all the market will bear?   I'm not just talking about salary, although that is important.    Let's talk about how to get you the best salary, perks, work culture, and the ability to recruit for the roles OTHER people want (this is soooo important to avoid stress and burnout).    In this episode, we talk about how to maximize your career happiness and satisfaction.  Don't be lured into the wrong role just because you are the "IT" girl of the moment (and I don't mean information technology, although that's a hot one too!)
If you are a Recruiter or other TA/HR professional woman who longs to make a greater impact on people's lives and use your skills to earn more with way more freedom and flexibility, career coaching may be the side hustle or corporate exit strategy for you!   Making other people's career dreams come true while doing the same for myself has been a complete life/work happiness makeover for me!   I am all about doing things with ease, no stress, and maximum fun.   It's time to break the cycle of work frustration for ourselves and others - the happiness of the world depends on it. :)
Do you have personal goals and priorities that constantly get pushed to the back burner (or off the stove entirely) because of work? Are you tired of the same old time-management strategies wrapped up in new bows (I don't know about you, but I am NOT getting up at 5 AM)? Do you wish you could love your work and your life? Work is a part of life - not a separate entity. But how can we earn money and still honor our passions, desires, interests, and personal goals?  If so, listen to today's episode for an eye-opening look at how a career coaching business of your very own can help you to achieve ALL of your goals, make a greater impact, and truly LIVE life on YOUR terms!
This week we are going to talk about Clues: Getting Unstuck and Making Better Decisions.  In my experience with clients...and in my own life, one of the biggest reasons for career unhappiness is feeling stuck. Stuck in the wrong job, career, mindset, etc. But even more so, stuck in a place of indecision. You have SO many ideas, but which is the right path? And what would even make it the right path? Let's delve into cultivating better decision-making skills to help you FINALLY choose the next best thing for YOU! 
This week we are going to talk about Giving it Away: When Free Works in Your Biz...And When it Doesn't.  We see a LOT of entrepreneurs, especially coaches, giving their work away for free to attract clients. But does this work? And when does is it driven by fear and imposter syndrome vs. a genuine desire to help? And do clients really benefit from free stuff OR is paying better for all involved?  Let's delve into FREE as an effective strategy to launch and grow a career coaching business. 
The concept of career coaching means different things to different people, and defining it for you (the new career coach) and your niche is VITAL to everyone's success and career happiness.
I absolutely LOVE the entrepreneurial lifestyle, BUT it's not for everyone. There is SOOO much noise in the online space about the glamour and excitement of running your own business. And while some of that is true, as with everything on social media, it could use a dose of reality! Join me in this episode as I reflect on 2+ years of FT business and what you need to consider to set yourself up for success AND give yourself permission to enjoy it!
Courage is the foundation for finding and growing a career (and life) you LOVE! Why do we struggle so much with fear and doubt, and what can we do about it?  Join me as we talk about the 1st component of my Career Happiness framework, Courage! And get ready to push your boundaries in new and exciting ways.
Please stop saying you don't have time to make your goals come to life.  We all have the same number of hours in a day - it's how to we use them, how we prioritize, how we break habits and form new ones. It's how we set boundaries and shift our way of thinking.  We delegate things because we aren't the ONLY ones who can do them. Ask for support.  Find a new job where we aren't working a million hours.  Say no to the things that no longer serve us. I have made time for MANY goals, activities, and dreams that many people say they can't do because of time. If I can do it, so can you! Let me know if you'd like some help sorting it all out.  Email me at carol@careerhappinessmap.com 
Don't let the plethora of career opportunities pass you by while you help everyone else find their dreams jobs! They don't call it the #greatresignation or #greatreshuffle for no reason. We are living in a time of career musical chairs and you, my dear recruiting sister, need to play the game.  If you'd like some help, please check out my new, fun program designed just for YOU! https://careerhappinessmap.com/career-happiness-recruiter/
