Are you feeling fired up that you want to do... something? So what's next? Is there a secret passion you've been harbouring in your heart since childhood? Do you have a burning desire to start a whole new career? Recent research shows that 24 per cent of us are currently doing the jobs we wanted to do as children. But for many people, dreams have changed, reality interferes, and some jobs no longer even exist. So what then?
"That on its own is a really big question, and it's one that's easy to get stuck on,' says Rachel Schofield. 'I like to help my clients build a kind of blueprint, and to break it down and look for clues: it's like turning detective.
'I encourage people to look at their skills and strengths - and not necessarily just in the workplace. People need to start to think more holistically. So begin to keep a little log of what activities you enjoy doing, and what really lights you up and energises you. And try to be specific.
'So you might say, "I'm a good communicator," but it's quite hard to do anything with that. Do you mean you like writing? Do you like speaking to people? Do you want to talk to a thousand people, or one-on-one? Really drill down into those skill sets, and think, "What does that mean?""
This isn't necessarily something you'll find easy: many of us have a natural bias to focus on the negatives. This can be particularly challenging when it comes to the next steps - thinking about your strengths - so you might need to ask for help.
