I'm not here to tell you that the dream job doesn't exist, but it's not what you think it is. We spend decades of our lives fantasizing about the perfect job. Most of the time, it's about what we get to do in that job - remember xx in The Devil Wears Prada? Her job was considered a "dream job" because she was working at Vogue, but in reality it was a nightmare. A "dream job" isn't necessarily about the industry or the work you'll get to do. It's about working with an amazing team, getting paid what you're worth, gaining opportunities to grow and advance, being supported and valued, having a schedule that fits into your life. As kids we used to dream about jobs like being the President or a doctor - but in reality those are very toxic jobs and industries to work in. The work might be exciting, but the job isn't a dream. It's rare to find both, but it requires that you seek out environments and cultures that build you up. It might take a while to find the right one so in the meantime, manage expectations, but never stop looking!

September is #InternationalUpdateYourResumeMonth! Your resume is your highlight reel of accomplishments and should be current. I recommend that you set aside time to update your resume regularly, whether that be monthly, quarterly, or even annually. You might not always be job hunting but a resume can come in handy for board or volunteer positions, creating a bio, reviewing your career goals and accomplishments, and more. If you haven't updated your resume in a while, it can be pretty intimidating. Here are a few resources to get you started: FREE Resume Tip Sheet: https://lnkd.in/gUFqk7GT Resume Writing Workbook: https://lnkd.in/gUFqk7GT Update Your Resume Blog Post: https://lnkd.in/g-wCk4zC A Four-Week Guide to Updating Your Resume: https://lnkd.in/gK_Fe5yy Format Your Resume Blog Post: https://lnkd.in/gx_3PzM3

✨ Play the game, not the occasion. Love the players. The US Women’s National Team knows how to win—on and off the field. After securing Gold in Paris, their words struck a chord: WHEEEEEEWWWWW! For all the women watching out there, this isn’t just about soccer. It's about your journey. Every day brings new challenges, but remember, it’s not about the pressure of the moment—it’s about showing up, doing your best, and lifting up those around you. 🌟 Focus on your goals. Support your peers. Celebrate every victory, no matter how small. Let’s keep playing the game and loving our fellow players along the way. 🏅 #CoachMonica #SheldrakeConsulting #GetUnstuck #MichiganCoach #CareerCoach #CareerCoaching #EmmaHayes

Here are a few tips to help you unwind and recharge: 1️⃣ Mindful Moments: Take a few minutes for deep breathing or meditation. A clear mind leads to clearer career goals. 2️⃣ Nature Walk: Step outside and soak in some sunshine. A change of scenery can spark new ideas and inspiration. 3️⃣ Digital Detox: Disconnect from screens for a bit. Enjoy the peace that comes from unplugging. Remember, relaxation is a key part of your journey to success. Embrace it today and every day! 🌸✨ #CoachMonica #SheldrakeConsulting #GetUnstuck #MichiganCoach #CareerCoach #CareerCoaching

Remembering the late Susan Wojcicki, former YouTube CEO and visionary leader at Google, her words remind us that true opportunities often come in unexpected and challenging forms. They’re rarely perfect or easy to recognize, but they are the ones that shape our journey and fuel our growth. As you navigate your career, be open to these messy, risky opportunities. They might just be the key to unlocking your potential. #CoachMonica #SheldrakeConsulting #GetUnstuck #MichiganCoach #CareerCoach #CareerCoaching #WednesdayWisdom #SusanWojcicki
