• Are you a rising or recent college graduate who is unsure about your career choice but suffering in silence?
• Is this your first job and you’re having second thoughts about the field you’ve chosen?
• It pays the bills, but that’s about all. Wondering how you got here and how to get to a better fit?
• Had enough of the cubicle life?
• Do you feel that life is passing you by as you focus too much of your mental and physical energy meeting someone else’s deadlines?
• Do you suffer from a nagging feeling that you’re supposed to be doing something else with your life?
• Are you ready to give your life a chance to blossom?
• Is your work/life imbalanced?
• Do you lie awake at night worrying about measuring up tomorrow?
• Are you just not enjoying what you do for a living?
• Do you wonder what it would feel like to try something totally different, for once in your life?

Most of us have been plagued by at least a couple of these questions at some point on our lifetime. If we were brave enough to share them with others, we probably were met with this response: “It’s not meant to be enjoyable. That’s why they call it work and not play.”

Ho-hum. Well, that may have been true in the days when there was no fun in picking cotton, chopping sugar cane, digging tunnels, coal mining, etc. But if you haven’t noticed, times have changed. Unfortunately, many of our attitudes about work have not. Yes, it goes without saying that everyday won’t be a bed of roses or a walk in the park. But that’s what leisure is for and that is your right and prerogative. However, every workday can be one where you can maximize your freedom of choice, activity, and engagement…if you’re willing to connect to and honor your uniqueness and make value-based choices that fit and fuel you. Work—like life—can be a good thing. It’s how you work it and live it that makes the difference. After all, work is life and life is work. We show you how to work both at Your Life Unlimited coaching where our Career Planning coaching is based on The Birkman Method™ and assessment.

• The Birkman Method™ is a psychometric assessment and process that reveals an individual’s unique ‘personality DNA’ and provides clarity around environmental factors that attract us (STARTS), keep us motivated to act (CONTINUES), and demotivates or even stresses us (STOPS.) Your ‘personality DNA’ is comprised of your uniquely wired characteristics such as your strengths, usual style, stress triggers, interests, and needs as it pertains to your work and work relationships. The results of more than 50 report formats reveal the environment that maximizes your personality strengths and feeds your interests for sustained professional effectiveness and personal growth. The information provided by the Birkman is an investment that will yield in lifelong benefits in self-awareness and career path options, from a college student selecting a major to a seasoned professional considering alternative career choices. For individuals, couples, groups, teams, and organizations.
