Am I Selfish? (Part 1)
Manage episode 383890087 series 3524308
Years ago, I faced the harsh dilemma of leaving a clinical career I'd trained for and embraced a new path as a healthcare graphic designer and brand strategist. That transition was anything but easy, riddled with feelings of guilt and doubts of selfishness.
In this episode, I delve into cognitive dissonance, the conflict between our values and behaviours, as we explore the challenging crossroads of career change. I discuss how understanding and aligning your values can bring peace of mind and aid in making informed career decisions.
I also share insights on identifying and applying your values to your career decisions. Sharing from my transition, I address the notion of selfishness when contemplating leaving a clinical career and how your values can clear up this confusion.
Guiding you through the reconsideration process, I share my strategies to utilise your values for making optimal decisions. This episode urges you to ask the empowering question, "Am I making the best choice for me?" rather than dwelling on the guilt-ridden, "Am I being selfish?".
