What interests attract you to a career?

10 January 2024

Make it your responsibility to seek and find what you are good at?  Go for it,  devote yourself to finding that thing for your career that will touch the majority of your buttons.

We all know that money is important, however, if you are good at something it will eventually come, people will acknowledge your abilities.

If you consider, solely going for the cash,  initially you may be filled with bags of enthusiasm, there is a good bet though, that this will ultimately fade.

You will find yourself not wanting to go to work, it will become a chore, you will find it difficult to develop your skills because you don’t like what you are doing.  Your happiness will ultimately be affected.

Don’t choose something just because you think you could make money. You may start out with enthusiasm, but you will soon flag.  It will be a chore to go to work, you’ll probably find yourself hating to go.  It’ll be difficult to work on improving your skills because you don’t like what you are doing.

If, however, you devote yourself to something you really like to do, you’ll enjoy your work and career, you’ll be enthusiastic, and you’ll probably find yourself working on improving your skills just for the sheer joy of it.

You will be working to reach your full potential.   You’ll probably soon find you are making more money at this truly interesting career than you ever dreamed possible.  The reason being because you like what you are doing, you will be happier.

When you know you are working to your full potential and you enjoy your work and begin to feel successful, you will find that self-confidence, career and job satisfaction will soon follow.

But, you must be realistic and honest with yourself.  If you set goals that you can’t possibly reach, you are setting yourself up for failure.  You will make yourself frustrated and unhappy.

I had an amazing coaching experience that truly helped me gain a deeper understanding of my motivations, how my personality influences my interactions, thoughts and feelings and digging deep into who I am regardless of the environment I am in. The insights I gained during the sessions were invaluable. The coaching challenged me, provided much needed clarity, and set me on a path towards personal growth and achieving my goals. I recommend Emerson, he has a wealth of knowledge and deep understanding of what he does and is incredibly skilled at guiding you through self-discovery and helps you uncover aspects of yourself that you hadn’t fully realized before.

I worked with Emerson to gain clarity on my career goals and build greater understanding of next steps. He offers a personalized approach, not a set of structure activities, but tailored conversations and questioning that have left me feeling motivated. I have found the sessions thought provoking and seen a significant positive shift in myself, not only helping me to formalise my thoughts but also creating positive impact within my current role .

Emerson has been my coach for a number of years, both on a personal (inner confidence) level and on work matters. I went through a period of change when transitioning into a new role which I found extremely overwhelming. I was put in a position of increased responsibility in an area that I was not comfortable with and quite honestly did not think I was ready for. Emerson always saw through any negative thoughts I felt about myself. His guidance and coaching was instrumental in navigating me through this time where my lack of self-believe and self worth was taking centre stage and close to derailing the opportunities presented. Emerson was instrumental in turning my negative thoughts around which has shaped me into the person I am today; confident, appreciative of my abilities and recognising that my contributions are of value. Emerson is a fantastic listener (and very humble with it) and extremely empathetic. He has an uncanny ability to ask the right questions at the right time without being judgemental or disrespectful. I also engaged Emerson’s coaching services for my daughter. She found the sessions helpful at a cross road in her life, leaving her empowered to believe in herself and her decision making. Life waits for no-one. If you want to be your best self I whole-heartedly recommend Emerson’s coaching.

I had a fun and engaging coaching session with Emerson. We were able to explore future opportunities due to shared leadership skills and experiences. Exploring creative opportunities through questioning and an open mindset has given me more options to explore and then plan for the future. 💫

I contacted Emerson for some coaching to improve on my working efficency. I had a lot on my plate and needed to re evaluate how I dedicate my time and how to increase my productivity. With Emerson's help I achieved both and now I'm enjoying greater overall profitability as a direct result. He took the time to really understand my business and he helped me with mindset, confidence and my goals. Emerson adds tremendous and tangible value and I highly recommend his services.

My company reached out to Emerson to assist me in transitioning into a senior leadership role within the business. I was apprehensive about the coaching at first as I felt it was unnecessary, however my mindset changed very quickly during our first session when Emerson explained and highlighted some key areas in which I could look to work on and improve, for example, work efficiency and procrastination, leadership and working with others to get the best out of individuals in your team along with both my own and the teams mental health and well-being. Emerson enabled me to set each session agenda important to me through some very clever techniques and in turn it felt like I was in control even though all sessions were fully collaborative. It didn’t feel forced, and actually felt very relaxed, comfortable and also fun. He provided detailed reports weekly showing our discussions along with analysis and what we would be working on for the week ahead. He is a great listener who offers fantastic insight into our discussions and challenges my opinions or thoughts when appropriate. I highly recommend Emerson to anyone. I feel more equipped in my role to handle our company and team goals due to the confidence I’ve gained from our sessions.
