Is stress driving you out of your job? You are not alone!?

Feeling stressed? You’re not alone. Most adults report being under increasing levels of stress. Modern life is filled with change and uncertainty, complicated relationships, urgent deadlines, and long workdays. Developing your problem-solving skills can help make life’s challenges more manageable.

Problem-solving is the process of identifying stressors and creating strategies to manage them. It’s a powerful tool to add to your stress management toolbox. You can brush up on your problem-solving skills with these simple steps. Like any skill, the more you practice the more effective you’ll be.

Identify the problem

It’s important to understand a problem before you can successfully solve it. Take time to analyze the problem. Write down a brief description of the problem you want to solve. Then ask yourself these questions:

  • What is happening?
  • Where and when is it happening?
  • Is it happening around certain people or in specific situations?
  • How do you feel about it?
  • What can you do about the situation?

Be specific and focus on issues. Try to avoid assigning blame. Now take a step back. Consider these questions to determine if the problem deserves the time you’ll spend resolving it:

  • Is the problem really that big? Would others think so? Are you making a big deal out of something that is relatively trivial?
  • Will this problem matter in two years?
  • If you could solve this problem, would your life improve?
  • Is there any part of the problem over which you have control?

You can’t change everything, so it’s best to focus on issues you can realistically change and that will make a real difference in your level of stress. In other words: Choose your battles.

Brainstorm ideas

Now that you have a well-defined problem, it’s time to think about solutions. Think of all the ways in which you might solve your problem. The sky’s the limit. Now isn’t the time to judge whether one solution is better than another. Not sure where to begin? Try these tips:

  • Recall past problems that you were able to solve. Could a similar solution work for this problem, too? How did you handle these issues in the past?
  • Ask friends, family and people you trust for advice.

If you’re still having trouble, perhaps your problem is too complicated. In that case, try to divide and conquer. Break the problem into smaller parts that you can more easily tackle.

Remember, consider everything that pops into your head — even ideas that initially seem silly. Your stress-reduction plan may include a little zaniness. Maybe taking a salsa dancing class after work a few days a week will help you to unwind better than would quiet meditation. Step away from the problem for clarity. Get up and move.

Select a solution

Of all your creative ideas — silly or serious — which has the most potential? You might want to consider:

  • Do you realistically think it will solve the problem?
  • How will using this solution make you feel in the end?
  • What are the possible positive and negative consequences?

When you’ve chosen what looks like the best solution, take another couple of minutes to think it through. Even the best solution may require fine-tuning. You might ponder:

  • Do you have the resources and, more important, the will to carry out your plan?
  • What new problems, if any, might the solution create?
  • What might go wrong? Can you correct this part of the plan?
  • What are the consequences if I choose a certain solution?

Don’t be discouraged if your plan isn’t perfect. A good long-term solution may temporarily generate new problems. That doesn’t mean you should give up the plan, just that you need to be prepared to make course corrections or even switch to a plan B.

Put your plan into action

It may help to write down the details of your plan. Be sure to really commit to it before giving up or trying something else. Believe in yourself and go for it.

Reflect on your experience

You’re not done problem-solving quite yet. Experience is a great teacher if you’re willing to take a little time for reflection.

  • Did your solution solve the problem?
  • If not, what issues remain unresolved?
  • What would you do differently the next time?

Mission accomplished?

Problem-solving is a natural human talent. We’re born solving problems from our first attempts as babies to grasp and crawl. We may not count the thousands of choices we make each day as problem-solving, but that’s what they are. So when you focus on solving more-complicated problems, have the confidence of knowing that you’ve got plenty of experience behind you.

Career Insights through Personal Journeys

Finding your passion isn’t just about careers and wealth. It’s about finding your authentic self.

In a world where jobs have become inevitably dynamic in nature, some of the long-held ideas of a ‘dream’ job are no longer accurate. The technological revolution has changed the world as we see it, and opened the world to newer possibilities. This has given rise to many jobs which may not have even existed a few years ago. 65% of children entering primary school today will ultimately end up working in completely new job types that don’t yet exist.

Perfection is an odd goal in making career choices. We learn not to limit ourselves to perfect ‘traffic free’ drive to work, perfect co-workers, bosses, friends or partners, so why are we obsessed with the idea of a job that will fulfill all our expectations? It’s not just about picking out a ‘perfect job’. Sometimes a less – than – perfect job can propel your career forward. The most important aspect here is to understand your own self, your career aspirations and aspire for a role which can help you learn the skills and competencies required to achieve the goal. As you continue to learn, your next steps will evolve, and you will constantly move towards experiences which help you channel your talent and potential for creating an impact.

As it’s rightly said, the journey substantiates our growth and not the destination. To make your journey purposeful, seek these experiences which help you learn, channel your passion and find a sense of purpose across your career journey

Don’t aim for a job, Aim for a career

Planning your future and your career can seem daunting, and sometimes you just don’t know where to start. However, you don’t need to have complete clarity or a destination as you think about your career. Aim for a job that suits your strengths, helps you learn, pushes out of your comfort zone to some extent, and caters to your areas of interest. To find this, it is absolutely essential to understand the roles you apply for and whether it meets at least some of your expectations.

Someone once told me that career is not a sprint, but a marathon. Patience is the key so do not strive to get there faster and lose out on the learning. In the attempt to try various roles, it’s easy to forget taking time to understand and learn. In any new role, learning curve rapidly increases in the beginning, soon followed by a saturation phase when you will reach the plateau. Give time to soak in the experience before chasing the next one. Ultimately, the goal should be to maximize learning from any role you take up, before jumping onto the next one. As you move forward and build your experiences, you might also realize that your destination might change, and you discover new career paths which you did not consider earlier.

Learn – Unlearn – Relearn

In today’s disruptive world, you also need to constantly learn, unlearn and re-learn. Having the right qualification certainly helps open doors, But does not define success or failure. If you do not have the ‘right’ qualification, the opportunity may not be readily available – this is the reality. However, you should not be disheartened, but find a way – try to start small and take those experiences as stepping stones which prepare you for the aspired job. Try a stretch project, training, a certification or an internship in your area of interest, to also get a realistic preview of whether it meets your expectations or not.

We all are unique as we bring different perspectives to the table. We must recognize that no one has our exact style, experiences, and knowledge, which has led us to the path we are on. We must also learn to identify the attitudes and behaviours that hold us back, and how to overcome those.

Having a clear vision and focus on developing yourself is certain to be fruitful. you must see failures as building blocks, to help you learn from your mistakes. You shouldn’t shy away from seeking help from your mentors, coaches or trusted peers who can help show you the mirror, challenge you and guide you to be a better version of ourselves.

Role of Networks

It’s not the time taken, but the level of preparation required to own the role better. You must identify experts outside our organization; the best in your field, and not just in your company. These conversations will provide insights into creating your personal experience map. Each workplace has its own culture and varies in how things are done, what is valued, and how people work together. Networks certainly play an important role in helping you get the right information or making the right connections. You must reach out to the experienced professionals, learn from their growth curve and seek insights into the successes and failures along the away.

Ask yourself the ‘W’ questions

While research and reflection are important, it’s the learning that you put into practice that help to strengthen the knowledge and expertise. Hence, asking yourself the right questions is imperative:

  • Why are you looking for a new job? – this is a key question to ask yourself. A lot of times what you may be looking for may be possible in your current job or organization.
  • What should the new opportunity bring? – what are the key criteria for the new job, how does this match your ambition and what is the learning this role will provide you.
  • When – Is now the right time to look for a new job?

Where would I want to work? – what matters to you – a big role in a small organization or a small role in a big organization, the kind of culture you would thrive in and practical realities such as the physical location, environment etc.

Do your research

It’s important to understand the role you’re applying for and whether it meets your expectations. You need to feel confident to ask questions about the new role and organization. It is as much about you finding the right culture where you believe you can thrive, as it is about the interviewers assessing you for your skills and capabilities.

Rejection is OK

You may apply for a lot of roles but may not get the job you need in the first attempt. You should not be disheartened by rejection, rather take feedback and continue to learn and invest in yourself. These rejections will help you understand what you need to improve in yourself, which you need to take in positively and keep moving forward. There is no feedback fallacy. It is all professional and it is all personal. Unlock self-reflection and growth and open the gate to change. As Ken Blanchard put it so brilliantly – “Feedback is the breakfast of champions”.

Given an unpredictable job market, rapidly-changing business models and emerging fields, enjoying your career journey is essential. Your sense of purpose will change over the course of your career, be open, curious and sometimes take the path opening up in front of you, even if it was not in your plan. The best surprises and breath-taking sceneries when you are trekking lie on the undiscovered paths. A career is like a journey, with no final destination – it is the experiences you gather, learning you gain, and people who you take along matters!

How to plan your next career Move

When was the last time you were really excited about your job? If you can’t remember, maybe it’s time to stop and rethink your career.

Often, we end up in jobs and career paths because opportunities present themselves and it seemed like the right thing to do. By carefully planning for your next career move and having clear goals, you will be in a position to find a job that really suits you.

Here’s our 6-step guide to help your career move.

  1. What do you want (or not want) from the next stage in your career?

    Do you want a job that brings more career opportunities, more travel, managing people or a sense of purpose? Or perhaps it’s one of the top aspects that Hudson research has found that professionals look for in a new role: the right salary, work-life balance, career progression, and cultural fit.1

    On the other hand, the research also found that people would leave their jobs due to boredom/lack of challenge, lack of career progression and disappointment with the salary. Is this you?

    It might be easy to know what you definitely don’t want, but you might find it challenging to be clear about what you absolutely do want. It could help to separate your wants into ‘essential’ and ‘nice to have’, as it might be hard to find a job that meets all criteria on your list.

  2. What kind of workplace do you want to work in?

    Everyone is different and so is every work culture. To help gauge which environment you thrive in, it might help to write down what you have enjoyed about your previous and current jobs.

    Perhaps there is a common thread to the organisations you thrived in. It helps to write a wish list of the kind of company you’d like to work for because it’s a win-win when you fit the culture. Think about the structure and values that would complement your working style.

    For those who enjoy formal processes and structure, an entrepreneurial environment may not be for you. On the other hand, working for a company known for its collaborative culture may not be a great fit for you if you are someone who prefers to work autonomously.

  3. Can you fix it now?

Can you fix it now?

  1. If you decide that you love what you do but just want a better work-life balance or more money, could you get these things at your current workplace?

    If possible, it’s worth sitting down with your manager and sharing your thoughts.

    If you are concerned about the lack of challenge and career progression, could you ask for training and widen your work scope? Could you negotiate a pay increase?

    By speaking to your manager, you will be able to uncover if your needs can be met where you are. Alternatively, you may find there is no other option but to leave.

  2. SWOT yourself.

    Just as a Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threat analysis (SWOT) helps companies evaluate where they stand, you can gauge your own potential with a SWOT analysis.

    In the changing work environment, more employers look for employees that excel at soft skills like communicating well with stakeholders, thus when listing your capabilities, you should include both technical and soft skills.

    This is a good time to do some preliminary job searching for the kind of roles you’d like to take on, and to stack your capabilities against the competencies they are looking for.

    If you’re looking for a role with new challenges and the opportunity to learn, it’s likely there’ll be a gap between your current skills and the expertise that employers are looking for. Now is the time to think about how you can bridge that gap.

    For example, you may find that the roles you are interested in require people management experience that you don’t have. Could you do a management course to help you bridge the gap? Could you take on new projects in your current role to help build up the required experience before you leave? Or do you have people management experience outside of work, perhaps in a volunteer capacity?

    If that’s not going to adequately bridge the gap, could you add value in other ways, for example, through extensive experience in the industry or profession?

    Get familiar with salary data too. This is important for knowing your value and the market before applying for a role.

  3. Could you ask a mentor?

    Listing your own strengths and weaknesses can be challenging and may require soul-searching. Do you have a mentor or someone you respect who could dispense some wisdom? Consult friends and colleagues who know your career history as you contemplate your next step. Those who know you may also identify a dormant soft skill that you never considered before.

    It also helps to get some objective third-party perspectives by talking with a specialist recruitment consultant who can inform you about the market, skillsets in demand and how you measure up against competition.

  4. Focus on your digital profile

    The world of work is changing and the way that people are being found and placed in jobs is changing too. In fact, some of the best roles may never even be advertised. This is why you need to have your digital profile primed for success.

    Thanks to social media like LinkedIn, it’s become easier than ever to network with industry leaders and to join professional associations.

    Some online networks also host offline networking events that you can attend. From workshops to meetups, networking is a great chance to get your name out there and establish your profile. Often jobs are discussed through the grapevines before they make it onto job boards, so it’s important for you to stay connected.

    Strengthen your digital profile by contributing to conversations in your field. With a good profile online, you may end up being approached or end up in talent pools where perfect jobs will come to you.

Whether you are actively job seeking or open to opportunities, there is nothing to lose and a lot to be gained by identifying what you want and positioning yourself for a role that may be your best career move yet.

If you decide that you love what you do but just want a better work-life balance or more money, could you get these things at your current workplace?

If possible, it’s worth sitting down with your manager and sharing your thoughts.

If you are concerned about the lack of challenge and career progression, could you ask for training and widen your work scope? Could you negotiate a pay increase?

How to Become A Content Marketer?

1. Strategic planning

That’s because understand each company has its unique branding, which will dictate what type of content they publish and who their target audience will be.

They also understand that each company has its preferred set of marketing channels that they’d want to use because these are where they’re getting most of their customers.

When you learn how to create a content marketing strategy, you can then content that effectively attracts and converts a company’s audience based on the channels it uses.

2. Research and data analysis

It’s now possible for brands and marketers to quantitatively determine what topics and content types are bringing in the best results. That means you’re expected to know which data to collect and where to find it, as well as applying these to your content marketing campaigns.

You’ll also need to know how to present the results of the content marketing campaign you’ve launched to the company’s key decision-makers.

Many successful content marketers take the time to invest in an online marketing course so they can learn how to effectively and efficiently create and launched data-driven content marketing campaigns.

3. Project management

Project management is combining and applying your knowledge and skills with different tools and techniques so that you can complete a project on time and within expected standards.

As a content marketer, you need to develop your own workflow process so that you can properly manage all of the tasks you need to complete on time.

Managing your projects effectively also means knowing which tasks you can delegate or automate to make things more efficient.

You also need to familiarize yourself with using some of the popular project management tools like Asana, Trello, and JIRA.

4. Video production and editing

Video is now the preferred content format marketers use because it’s more convenient for your target audience to consume compared to written content.

In fact, 95% of customers would prefer to watch an explainer video like this one from Dollar Shave Club than read a written guide.
