#1 – it puts the ceiling on your potential.
#2 – it limits your options and opportunities.
#3 – it causes you to get stuck on your current career path.
Let’s unpick the OR decision and then read on to learn how to overcome it.
As a career coach with an extensive background in education, I specialize in helping people who are lost or stuck at a career crossroads.
Clients start by telling me about their current circumstances and when I ask them to explain the ‘problem’ and what they want to get out of coaching, it is almost always CLARITY they seek because they have got stuck on an OR decision. Let’s give some examples:
“I don’t know whether to stay in my current career OR go for something completely different.”
“I want to leave the classroom but am not sure whether to do supply teaching OR try a new role.”
“I’m not sure if I want to leave education or not – should I try another school OR just leave the teaching profession completely?”
“I love teaching children but also think I’m ready for leadership – I’m trying to decide if I should apply for leadership roles this year OR teach for a few more years.”
“I’ve handed in my notice but not sure what to do next – something like project management OR perhaps learning and development.”
The dilemma is real. The overwhelm and ‘stuck’ feeling is undeniable. In all of these scenarios, the OR has created limitations. The clients have inadvertently put a ceiling on their own potential, cut themselves off from exploring other opportunities and by doing so, have become stuck in their current position because they lack the clarity to see beyond.
What I do is ask the right questions to help clients understand their individual circumstances from different perspectives. We work together to widen the options and opportunities, and I help clients remove the ceilings on their potential. Clients gain clarity and are equipped with the tools to make the right choices because they are based on factors that fit a career path into the life they want to lead. When you know a path will lead to happiness and fulfilment – and you have the skills to make it happen – you can move confidently from being stuck to living a life you’ll love.
