Jessica McGregor Johnson's shiftsurgery

I am not surprised that you have little joy scanning the job websites. We can only become enthused about what's on offer once we have become excited about what we are looking for...So Instead of trying to match your current skills to another job, reconnect with your interests - your passion and purpose - and go from there.

Change by its very nature is scary. There is always an element of us that likes to maintain the status quo, even if we know intellectually that the change could be good for us or someone we love.
I am reminded of a client who took the risk and went for the dream with many of the same trepidations as you. Ultimately his partner had flourished in the light of his happiness, had been drawn forward by his fulfilment.

First I think you could do an exercise that truly identifies what skills you actually feel passionate about using. Here's how to do it...

What you need is a CV that doesn't mention roles or titles so much as skills that you have that are relevant to the role you are going for. Here's how to go about it...

It seems to me that this is about the compromise between safety and security or taking a risk to follow your heart's calling...Look at your situation, very safe but not very interesting...I think you need to ask yourself 'how much do I want to live life to the full?'.

In some ways you have to start at the end of your question, and that is whether you want to stay in the corporate world...I recently worked with a client who thought that he needed to leave the corporate world, but on deeper exploration realised that he liked the actual work, it was his attitude to the work and the people around him that was causing the problem.

In order to make this transition less daunting you need to break it down into doable steps. If you can take a step back and begin from where you are, a path with individual steps can be picked out.

One of the words that stood out from your question was worthwhile. I think this is a good starting point. Take some time to ponder this question. What does worthwhile mean to you?...

Get back in touch with what you are passionate about. This will help you clarify what it is that makes your heart sing, the things that you love to do. If you are going to make changes in your life why not give yourself the gift of fulfilling your potential...
