I wanted to study science. I was pushed into commerce instead, and I did what was expected of me.
I spent five years working in finance. Somewhere in those years I realised I was not enjoying what I did.
So I moved into operations and training. The work was dynamic, but it was still not what I would like. What I was drawn to was helping and guiding people.
Then I did what I now ask others to do: I checked my interests and my aptitude. The results were clear. I enjoy working as a guide. I like helping people find clarity in what they do, and clarity about their direction, before the direction itself.
That is when I understood that I needed a change of direction myself. I am now studying psychology, and I trained as a Certified Career Analyst.
Clearway is for students, parents and mid-career professionals who want to find their spark and get back on track, doing work they enjoy.
