The wrong “form” of work

In deciding to make career change, you must first identify the “essence” of what you want. Questions you need to answer are:

  • What skills and talents do I want to utilize?
  • What business outcomes do I want to support?
  • What type of people, environments and cultures do I thrive best with/in?
  • What types of challenges do I want to face in my work?
  • What financial compensation and benefits are non-negotiable for me?

You have to find the right “form” of work that fits you, your lifestyle and your needs.
