67. SA Quick Tip! On Don’t Know? Get Into Action with Kathy Oneto

Show Notes

In this Sustainable Ambition (SA) Quick Tip, host Kathy Oneto offers an antidote to not knowing what you want to do. When you don’t know, get into action.

Kathy shares how one of the most common phrases she hears from coaching clients and those in a career inflection point is, ”I don't know what I want to do!” It’s usually said with angst and frustration. She found the same having done research with those who made career transitions; they often start the process in a state of not knowing. If you are in a career or life transition and find yourself saying the same thing, this quick tip is for you.

Putting this quick tip into action requires just that. Action. Listen in for more.

What is Sustainable Ambition?

How do you navigate the inevitable conflicts between work and life? Not just the daily schedules or mounting responsibilities, but the tensions between your ambition for your career and your ambition for life?

How do you decide what to prioritize and what to let go of? How do you decide when to speed ahead and when to ease up?

These aren’t questions of work-life balance or self-care. They’re questions we can answer when we get serious about intentionally designing a life with work that works for you.

Join Kathy Oneto, executive and life-work coach and founder of Sustainable Ambition, for conversations with experts, authors, and friends to explore sticky questions around navigating ambitious careers while integrating life with work, practicing sustainable work practices, and building resilience.

Most people assume that ambition and sustainability are mutually exclusive. Not so! Keep listening, and Kathy will make you a believer in Sustainable Ambition, too.
