I was recently approached by a frustrated student who had been actively applying for full-time roles yet they had received very few interview opportunities and zero offers. . . 

We have all been there – that feeling that you are not as “good” as others in the workplace - we lack the skills, experience, or confidence to perform at a level that meets (or, hopefully, exceeds) the performance expectations of others.

A friend was recently lamenting the fact that they felt “stuck” in their current job – feeling that their day-to-day activities had become uninspiring with little to suggest that the light at the end of this long tunnel would ever appear. 

Have you ever had the sensation of going through motions – with little understanding of where you are headed – doing the same thing, day-in and day-out?  Many people find themselves “stuck” – in an unrewarding job or career of some other pursuit that is devoid of purpose.

I was recently speaking with someone who expressed frustration over their lack of progress in the pursuit of a promotion at work. Their impatience was palpable – why were they not getting the promotion, title, and accompanying increase in pay “on time”?
