Taking a personal inventory from time to time can be very liberating. It is useful and important to understand, as best we can, our strengths and weaknesses. We all have been given gifts, and we tend to be more comfortable and successful when we put those inherent skills, talents, and proclivities to work. Careers take many turns, and not always by our own design. Perhaps we are best suited to a more creative role and find ourselves, somehow, in an administrative position that stifles creativity. Or, we may be a “people person” with strong empathy and a need for social contact and find that those talents are not being fulfilled or fully utilized in our current job. Pausing occasionally to examine how we might be happier and more fulfilled in our work can bring positive change, especially when we have an opportunity to explore a new role. We can prepare by asking ourselves the difficult questions.
