Is work a four-letter word?
Transitions into, within and out of work are always challenging.
So many people are what they do, but there is little preparation
and almost no guidance to take us through the process. From
first interview to final goodbye many people feel they are
forever under the microscope, pinned down and unable to breathe.
It is the most uncomfortable feeling, and now they are expected
to perform at the top of their game. These are some of the
themes that we hear again
and again:
-
I am looking for work that is fresh and
fulfilling
-
I am already working, but I want to go
further
-
I am overlooked and I feel taken for
granted
-
I want to get organised, but I can't
find the time
-
My partner says I am always at work,
even at home
-
It's a great job, except for the boss
-
I love the work, it's just those people
I work with
-
I feel I'm living to work, instead of
working to live
-
I am stuck in a rut and I want something
different
-
I have lost my job and there's nowhere
to go
-
I am about to retire and I just see a
desert of days
The historically recent, but now established
pattern of competing, coping, conflicting and crashing is
evident. This is not what an individual would do by choice, but
somehow we have constructed it together. Now, together with
in your dreams,
you can begin to ask some of your own questions and to formulate
the answers that suit you.
Your first success has been recognising the
need for assistance.
Your second is having the good sense to call for
it.
