It is so important from time to time, to take a step back to see how well your job FITS you.

You might be wondering … why does this matter? Well to help us understand that, I’m going to share a little about my favorite fashion expert…

Tan France and the Good Fit

Who here is a fan of Tan France from Queer Eye? I love Tan. Even more, I love what Tan does for people. 

You don’t have to have watched the show to get this … but it helps!

Queer Eye is essentially a show about transformations – full-life makeovers. You can see why a coach loves this show.

I love watching Tan France’s clothing makeovers, because it’s all about fit. When someone puts on an outfit that he has picked for them, that fits their body and their personality, they walk out of that dressing room, instantly transformed. 

Smiling huge 😁

Strutting with confidence.

Even doing a little dance.

It’s incredible. 

A Good Fit in the Workplace

And this is what I find when people can make adjustments to their work – the role, the environment, the team – to really fit them. 

They get happier. 

They start to strut their stuff. 

A lot of the baggage just starts to drop away. 

I imagine that we have all had the experience of wearing something uncomfortable – that was too tight, or just didn’t fit. 

Let’s stop doing that. Both with clothes and with WORK. 

How do I Improve my Job Fit?

👉 If you are looking for a way to take a step back and reflect on your work, then my ‘Sweet Spot’ exercise is a great starting place. This exercise uses a Venn diagram to find the overlap in what you’re good at, what you love to do, and what the world needs (and would pay you for).

Once you have completed the exercise, ask yourself:

• Can you see a way to bring your current job closer to your Sweet Spot?

• Do you see an opportunity to engage in a new line of work -- or even an extracurricular activity -- that would have you working from your Sweet Spot more often?

👉 If you are looking to dive a bit deeper and think that something more interactive would help, then my upcoming workshop 🌈 Improve Your Job Fit, and Boost Your Happiness at Work is perfect!

Whether you are:

➡ Unhappy with work and want to try to improve it

➡ Looking for a new, better-fitting job

➡ Want to switch careers or industry

➡ Are unemployed and looking for your next role

➡ Need to choose between different job options

This workshop will leave you re-energized and clearer about what changes will have the biggest impact on your happiness at work.

The important thing to remember is that the right ‘fit’ when it comes to your work is so important for your happiness.
