From Executive Functioning to Career Thriving: Understanding Your Abilities and Finding Your Path

TL;DR: This post explores the crucial link between executive functioning and career assessments, highlighting how understanding your natural abilities and style can lead to more fulfilling and aligned career choices.

Welcome back to my blog about adult executive functioning topics!

Helping clients streamline their work life is a highlight of my job. Whether it’s Asana, Motion, or any tool in between, my clients have their favorites to keep their professional lives on track. My role? I believe there’s an ideal tool for everyone, and it’s my job to help you find that perfect fit and ensure you give your chosen tool a real chance to improve your task and time management.

But here’s a twist: what if you're feeling burnt out by your career? Or sense a misalignment with your current role? These questions nudged me towards a new pathway: the importance of aligning one’s inherent abilities with their career path. This curiosity led me to become a certified Highlands Consultant. The Highlands Ability Battery focuses on objectively measuring your personal style and abilities, rather than how you feel about your skills. This objective insight serves as a guiding light for your professional journey.

You might be scratching your head, wondering, "How do career assessments fit into executive functioning coaching?" Here’s the connection: By gaining detailed insights into your abilities through the Highlands, we can uncover career options that not only suit you but also energize and fulfill you. An essential lesson from my certification is that careers not aligned with your natural abilities and style require additional time, energy, and effort to master. While every career demands these resources, choosing a path that matches your innate profile ensures you're using them efficiently, leading to a sustainable and fulfilling career. The goal is to make informed decisions, armed with a clear understanding of your unique profile.

In sharing my journey, I encourage you to view your career path through the lens of your innate abilities and personal style. It’s about building a professional life that not only meets your immediate goals but also deeply resonates with who you are.

Executive Functioning Coaching and Career Assessments complement each other beautifully, allowing you to focus on completing the tasks at hand in your professional life while also keeping an eye on the bigger picture of your career as a whole and your satisfaction.
