How do you figure out what you want in your 20s? While having tried multiple things since being 18 (now I’m 22) I always struggled to find out what I was really supposed to be doing with my life and I rather found myself jumping from opportunity to opportunity not really allowing myself to reflect. Actually, 32% of 25 - 33-year-olds say that they are not pursuing the career yet that they want. (S: LinkedIn) And because I have the feeling that I’m not the only person in her 20s trying to figure out what I am supposed to be doing I wanted to look deeper into the process of how we can actually figure out what we want to do. So I spoke to Ashley Stahl, a wonderful woman who is so talented in putting her words straight to the point. Ashley is a counterterrorism professional turned career coach, Ted Speaker, Podcast Host of the You Turn Podcast and Author of the Bestselling Book YouTurn. You’ll find the links below. Together we’ll outline the following 3 steps on how you can figure out what you want in your 20s: Clarity comes through engagement It’s not about finding your purpose, It’s about doing what you are Question your core beliefs I hope you’ll enjoy this one!!
