Career coaching , advice - miserable and angry !

[stopfuckingshoutingatme]

Hi , I know it’s aibu but as a mid career and mid life ‘professional’ I am finding myself at a very definite junction where I realise I don’t necessarily want to do my current role for the rest of my life . I pretty much hate my job right now . And despite having many transferable skills (and results) the job and culture is eroding me so much I feel that I have to make a change before I get seriously unhappy . After a meeting today I am angry , belittled and feel upset . This can’t Continue . And I am the main breadwinner so can’t just ‘jump ship’

But I want to talk to a sensible professional to map things out and get clarity and get mobilized to action . It’s important enough that I would dip into savings to fund it .

I was curious if anyone had this and could recommend any books , websites or organisations that helped them get to the other side . And any success stories ?

Thanks 🙏

Career shifters - not used them but they have interesting case studies.

Thanks . On their website now

I’m in the same position and just reading What Colour is your Parachute, only just started reading it following recommendations on here.

Performance Associates .co.uk

My friend used what colour is your parachute to help her leave a job she hated for a job in anew area, so would recommend that

If you are based in Central Scotland there is an amazing woman I can highly recommend - Andonella Thomson - my old employer paid for me to to have professional coaching with her. Unfortunately for them it gave me the confidence to cut ties with them and move on to a much more suitable and higher paid role, onwards and upwards!

If you're a graduate, you might be able to go back to your university careers services for career coaching. Some offer professional coaching services for their graduates.

The book suggested above is a good starting point and there's also this website www.life-pilot.co.uk/information/changing-job-or-career
