How Career Counseling Helps Women Advance Their Careers

Almost all working women want to advance their careers, but what sets successful women apart? Often, the key to career advancement can be as simple as a well-laid plan. But first, it's crucial to know what type of work capitalizes on your strengths and minimizes your weaknesses.

At the same time, it's critical to have a career that allows you to enjoy a healthy work-life balance. More often than not, women wind up juggling full-time jobs with household responsibilities, unfairly taking on more than their fair share of household duties and the mental work of planning for their partners and children.

The Wand Chooses The Wizard: Insights Into Changing Careers To Deepen Personal Fulfillment Ebook

Now, what might Harry Potter have to do with careers? Well, lately I have been thinking that one’s work can be thought of in much the same way the old man spoke about Harry’s wand. For it seems to me that when one’s work is fulfilling over time, it becomes a way one makes magic in the world. It is a well-fitted wand, so to speak.

Further, I have noticed that the life stories of those most rewarded by their work often reveal that their work chose them about as much as they chose it. This has been especially evident in my conversations with successful career changers. From these individuals, I have heard repeatedly about what seemed like a magnetic force that pulled them in the direction of their new work.

They seemed to be guided toward it by an internal compass connected to their origins, to legacies absorbed up through their roots. These usually were the legacies of their childhood enthusiasms, passions, and talents, as well as family sagas, both tragic and triumphant, that cascaded down the generations touching the lives of all below.
