When your career starts to itch, you gotta scratch it, according to Randi Roberts. After spending 30 years in the corporate world in big pharma, Randi had a variety of roles from sales representative to Executive roles. She is a hippie at heart, Ivy League education, an MBA earned from San Diego University, and is now an Executive and Career-Life coach. During her time with Big Pharma, she loved it and yet knew there was something more for her to do. Randi shared some tips with us to help us start to identify when that itch begins, sometimes its subtle and other times it can be out right smack in the face, but we should pay attention when we start to feel or begin to:Hit the snooze button more regularly on workdays.Pay attention to how you are reacting to situations.Listen to your body talk, what is it trying to show or tell you? How and where are you out of alignment?More irritated by projects, team members, etc.Energy is low. These are just a few to pay attention to and recognize that often it can be situational, or maybe your focus and goals have changed. The key here is to pay attention. We also discuss some of the current trends happening in the workforce. It used to be known as the 7-year itch and now it’s more like every 3 years people change their jobs but remember, “no matter where you go, there you are” so figure out what is making you itchy at this time before you make a big move. And know that it’s not forever. This too shall pass but being intentional and mapping out where you want to get to, is an important exercise to go through and that is often where a coach can help you to figure that out. Think about how important growth is to you and what that might look like as you navigate your map. What’s next and what is your risk tolerance in all aspects of your life?
