have the opportunity to redefine your career—to pursue new
challenges and find new meaning in your work life.


Most workers have ample
opportunity to change career paths; the "http://www.forbes.com/sites/jeannemeister/2012/08/14/job-hopping-is-the-new-normal-for-millennials-three-ways-to-prevent-a-human-resource-nightmare/#2d8b2b045508">
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates the typical American will
have 10 different jobs before the age of 40.  Yet many of
us struggle to make the big choice of changing professional
direction.


Knowing what you want to do in
life often means conquering your fears. You may have to shed old
ideas. Or find the strength to let go of a safe job.
Put simply… it takes
courage.


This week on Find Your Dream
Job, we’re talking about how you can plan your career instead of
letting just happen to you. Mac talks with Katie Kelley, an
executive coach, motivational speaker, and author of the new book,
Career Courage.  Katie shares her tips on how to discover your
passion, step out of your comfort zone and create the career
success you want.


In this 33-minute episode you will learn:



  • How
    the FOG (Feedback – Opportunities – Gut Instinct) model helps you
    make career decisions

  • What
    you should stop, start and continue doing in your
    career

  • How
    to evaluate other careers that interest you

  • What
    the “career success circle” looks like and how it can point to your
    next steps

  • How
    to reflect on career plateaus and move forward from
    them

  • Why
    permission to be different is the key to having career
    courage
