in this episode of the Reaching Your Peak podcast, I, Jeff from Apex Leadership Development, delve into the pressing issue of feeling stuck—both personally and professionally. Drawing on recent studies, I highlight that a staggering 75% of people report feeling trapped, with many seeking new job opportunities. This phenomenon, termed the "Great Detachment," underscores the importance of clarity in our lives.
I discuss how coaching can be a powerful tool in achieving this clarity. A coach helps individuals define their goals, align their values, and prioritize actions, ultimately leading to improved decision-making and increased focus. I share my personal journey of transitioning from a career in vocational ministry to coaching, emphasizing how a coach can help uncover blind spots and create actionable paths forward.
Throughout the episode, I outline the benefits of clarity, including enhanced confidence, greater fulfillment, and the ability to make values-based decisions. I encourage listeners to consider how coaching could help them navigate their feelings of being stuck and to seek out support, whether from me or another coach.
I conclude with a thought-provoking quote from Leo Tolstoy, reminding us that true change begins within ourselves. If you're feeling unclear about your direction, I urge you to explore coaching as a means to propel yourself forward in both your personal and professional life.
