Ever felt like a square peg in a round hole? Worse yet . . . you've been labeled as the official company boat rocker? I have and it’s OK. It took me several years and a significant health issue to realize square peg - round hole. So here’s some advice, evaluate yourself by examining the things you’re good at, what you love to do, the people you admire, who you love to spend time with, etc. Ask your friends and family about your talents. You may find - in a very short amount of time – you need a change.

Making a professional change can be exhilarating and exhausting – mostly determined by your level of commitment. Sometimes the change is simple – getting reengaged, taking on a new assignment or volunteering. Sometimes the change is intense – changing careers, relocating or moving to a new industry.

Whatever and wherever professional change leads you – remember to be true to you. You might not be at the right place right now – but change is always possible.
