ACCESSIBLE CAREER CHANGE COACHING

/tribe-and-seek/i-have-no-idea-s41fc.jpg)
This is one of the most common first things career coaches hear from their clients. It's also something that many people feel underneath but don't share with their friends or colleagues.
Not knowing what job you want is experienced by thousands every day. Most people fall into their work based on a series of coincidences and short term choices when they're early in their career. Unless you studied a vocational apprenticeship or degree, chances are you also fell into your line of work based on a few key choices. It's also likely at the time you didn't appreciate how those choices would impact your path years down the line.
The problems this creates start to creep in after you've spent a few years doing the same thing and you begin to stagnate. Work feels like a drag, you can't see any progression and you feel unfulfilled. This is when most people start to look for new opportunities. But because they don't know what they want, they either get stuck in the same cycle or move from job to job without ever feeling settled. They have so many ideas but fail to discover the career that fills them with inspiration.
This perpetuates feelings of no direction and being stuck. After a while you may even begin to lose faith in your own ideas. It's a downward spiral.

But before we get to that, let me begin with some initial advice and perspective:
The process of self discovery takes time so give yourself permission to explore ideas without putting too much pressure on finding the right answer immediately.
You're never going to have all the answers and that's ok! Trying to be perfect will only hold you back from taking action.
Keep moving forward even when you feel like you're not making any progress. Every step is helping you get closer to your goal.
Say yes to opportunities that come your way, even if they seem a little out of your comfort zone. You never know where they might lead.
Be willing to let go of your preconceived notions about what you should be doing and be open to possibilities you may have never considered before.
Sometimes it's helpful to have an objective third party who can help you see things more clearly and give you guidance along the way.

Perhaps you have no idea what you're doing with your life, but you day dream all the time. You have so many ideas but none of them feel right. Maybe you feel like you can't pursue any of them because you don't know where to start or you're afraid of failing.
Perhaps you have no idea what you're doing with your life, but you day dream all the time. You have so many ideas but none of them feel right. Maybe you feel like you can't pursue any of them because you don't know where to start or you're afraid of failing.
Or you just have nothing. No ideas whatsoever. You're just seriously stuck. Every day feels like the same thing and you can't see a way out.
Both of these scenarios are incredibly common and there is hope! There are tools, frameworks and exercises that exist to help people put together some ideas when starting from scratch. In this list of tools we're providing options that work for both of these situations.
Let me be super clear. I'm not only recommending quiz-type tools. When I talk about tools, I have my career coach hat on. A "tool" can be any kind of framework, exercise, action, product or service that can help you find some inspiration or teach you something new you can apply.
Therefore this list is agnostic to the "type" of tool - it's not a list of 10 career quizzes. It's the 10 best platforms and services that I recommend to most people I work with.
So with that clarified, let's begin!
