We’re sold on these ideas that this stuff will make us happy.
Or perhaps achieving them does for a short span of time, and then we want more of the same as we link the little boost we get to our baseline of happiness.
Then we think we need more to get a bigger boost.

How much of this can we control?
The answers might surprise you.
Watch this wonderful video interview that we recorded in the dark days of the pandemic with Dr Ramya Ranganathan, leadership and career coach.
Dr Ramya’s spent a lot of time digging into this topic in her own work and had lots of useful (and FREE) strategies that we can practice daily to increase our happiness at work.
With the mental health fall out from the pandemic there’s been a huge demand for counsellors to help us understand what happened and how its personally impacted us.
I know for myself it’s made me question the way I work, the relationships I have, what I want to do with my life etc and I have found myself at times in that state called languishing.
By this I mean, not full blown depression, but a bit of the “can’t be bothereds.”
I’ve been able to pull myself out of this with a morning sea dip and meditation.
But for other people, it’s been much worse – and it’s easy to see how anxiety is playing out among the population.
That’s why I am delighted to have done this interview with Roohi Ahmad.
Roohi is an experienced counselor and passionate about what she does and sharing her experience with others.
She’s got some great advice on what the job is really like, how to break in if you don’t have much experience, and how networking can help you make your next move.
So let’s give it up with a BIG round of applause and welcome Roohi to the Career Care Package YouTube channel!!

As a Career Coach I know images are much more powerful than words. I know people process images 1000’s of times faster than words, which helps them connect on a much deeper level with what they actually see vs what they read.
But rarely do I use images in my work.
Nor have I seen any great resources to help people understand their career better with images.
Until now.
So I am delighted to present to you, the Big Book of Career Doodles: 87 Visual Ideas to Inspire a Great Career. [click to continue…]

So why did I film this video I hear you ask?
Well, while there are many vloggers out there who’ll tell you how they found a job, it’s advice that comes from only one perspective – theirs.
