Furthermore, it is important that we are able to express and experience our personal values through our work.

But there is more.

A somewhat more inclusive view of life suggests that we each have come into this world to make our own contribution. In that context, you could say that the work you choose in your life should be more than just a job. If you look to the origin of the word VOCATION,  you’ll see it is derived from the Latin ‘Vocatus’, meaning ‘to call’ or ‘being called’.

A mere job would keep you busy and surviving; and yes, we all need to tick those boxes. Your calling, however, determines that you express yourself in a way that reflects who you are. It is an inner conviction that says: ‘Yes, I want this to be my contribution.’

Sometimes that inner conviction is a shout, loud and clear; sometimes, it needs to be awakened.  To help you do that, maybe just begin by asking yourself:

  • If I had no fear, what would I do?
  • What kind of work would make me get up every morning and look into the day with excitement and motivation?
  • What am I good at?
  • If I were to picture my perfect working day, what would it look like?
  • One day, when I look back over say, ten of fifteen working years, what would I like to see?
  • What is it I want to do to feel that I am really contributing to the world?

You may find that these questions are quickly accompanied by fears such as:  ‘I don’t have the training’, ‘I’m too young’, ‘I can’t take any chances in this economy’,  or any other belief that would hold you back from what you would really love doing. But those fears are not there to hold you back; they are there to test your commitment.

If you find yourself facing uncertainties and inner doubts regarding your course ahead, but you do know that you wish to imbue your life with quality and inner fulfilment, consider the comprehensive online New Insights ™ Coaching Programme. Through it you will find clarity, inner confidence and strength.

Meet Elona Hlatshwayo: career coach https://careerplanet.co.za/elona-hlatshwayo/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=elona-hlatshwayo Fri, 05 Oct 2018 11:49:40 +0000 http://edevstage.co.za/cp/?p=6571 A short introduction from Elona Hlatshwayo
Certified Coach, Psychometrist Speaker, Trainer and Mentor

I have over a decade of experience gained in a dynamic market in Southern Africa, USA, UK, and Ireland, and hold an MSc in International Business Management. I am a certified Life, Career and Business Coach with European accreditation (ACTC) as well as COMENSA accreditation with the designation – Registered Coach.

I started my career in Human Resources working for a large retailer in South Africa. I gained experience consulting in various industries in the public and private sectors as a psychometrist. After this I was a regional Head of Assessment for one of the big four banks in South Africa.

In an ever-changing world, finding balance has been important for me as a wife, mother and business woman. I share the lessons I have learnt over the years, helping people be aware of the dangers of burnout as success seekers who have a desire to maintain good balance in their personal lives, well-being and recreation. Additionally; I help people develop growth strategies in their careers as well as their businesses/ teams.

I provide training workshops, and individual as well as group coaching programs. My goal is to coach many professionals on how to successfully navigate and grow in their careers. I have been matching people and careers and have seen that people flourish when they are in the right job/business.

On larger projects; I work with a diverse team of highly experienced professionals and my network is ever expanding.

Contact me and together we will discover your potential and map out your growth!
