Courage, Change, and Career Shifts
This week’s guest is Dr. Sharon Hull.
Are you looking to make more intentional changes in your professional life? Dr. Sharon Hull, founder of Metta Solutions, believes it takes courage and change to create a ‘bespoke career.’ As the creator of the Bespoke Life Network, an online community dedicated to helping individuals create custom-fit careers and intentional lives, Sharon encourages others to step off the traditional career path and make decisions grounded in what truly matters to them.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought significant changes to the work environment. It forced a reset in how we view work: prioritizing humans over productivity. The pandemic prompted individuals to reassess their career paths and priorities, leading to a greater focus on intentional and meaningful approaches to work and life. Employers and employees alike had to adapt to the constantly changing world, with a shift towards understanding the human aspect of work and the need for courage to make intentional changes. It was a catalyst for individuals to seek alignment between their personal values and their professional endeavors, ultimately reshaping the way we approach work in the new world.
Generational perspectives in the workplace play a significant role in shaping the dynamics and culture of organizations. Each generation brings unique values, work styles, and expectations to the table. While it’s easy to label different generations, at our core, we are all human beings seeking respect, understanding, and fulfillment in our work. By embracing our differences, we can create a more inclusive and collaborative environment that leverages the strengths of each generation, so that we can foster a workplace culture that values diversity in perspectives.
Creating meaning and purpose in life is a dynamic and ongoing commitment that can lead to a fulfilling and successful journey. We must be intentional about aligning our actions with what truly matters to us, both personally and professionally. It’s a new work world, sometimes scary, but if we focus on what brings us fulfillment and joy, we can navigate with clarity and purpose. Just as Sharon emphasizes in her work, when organizations prioritize understanding how humans make meaning and purpose out of their lives, they are better positioned for success in the ever-evolving landscape of work.
