How to Know When It’s Time for a Career Change
Apr 23, 2025
Are you dreading Monday mornings? Feeling burned out or disconnected from your work?
You’re not alone. According to Gallup surveys, employee disengagement is at an all-time high. Many professionals feel unappreciated, unclear about expectations, and uncertain about their growth opportunities.
Maybe a change would do you good!
Common Signs It’s Time for a Career Change
If you relate to any of the following, it may be time to re-evaluate your current role:
- Chronic Burnout: The pace of work is unsustainable.
- Sleep Issues: Stress and overwork are affecting your health.
- Lack of Fulfillment: Your work feels boring or meaningless.
- No Purpose: You can't connect your daily tasks to a larger goal.
- Health Concerns: Work is impacting your physical and mental well-being.
- Family Concerns: Loved ones are encouraging you to make a change.
Why This Doesn’t Have to Be Your Reality
I work every day with people just like you to find renewed purpose and energy in their work. When your interests, strengths, and workplace values align, everything changes. You can feel excited about Monday again.
Life Is Too Short to Be Unhappy at Work
You spend more waking hours at work than anywhere else. If your job consistently drains you, it affects your entire life—your health, relationships, and overall happiness.
Imagine a future where work feels meaningful and energizing. That future is within your reach, and you don’t have to take a blind leap to get there.
