Consider the difference it would make to your work and life if the organisation you’re working for REALLY cared about you.  One that encouraged you to take your leave. One that did something about it when you were under pressure. One that listened to and supported you when work (or even life) wasn’t going so well.

It’s easy to believe all employers are uncaring when your own employer – and those of everyone you talk to – seem to be behaving harshly or even badly.

But that isn’t the case.

There are good employers out there. You just need some help finding them.

• Are you under pressure at work?
• Does it feel as if you spend all your waking hours there?
• And even when you’re not at work, do you feel stressed?

Perhaps you’re getting texts and calls from your boss at all hours of the day and night. Maybe even at the weekend or when you’re on holiday, or even when you’re off sick.

There’s no rest for the wicked, is there?

Except you’re far from wicked. You’re hard-working, dedicated and conscientious. You’re always keen to take on extra projects and fill in the gaps when your colleagues are on leave or off sick.

But nothing ever seems to be enough and now you’re just getting more and more exhausted. (Although when you need time off, your boss gripes and moans about it.)

Does your employer REALLY care about you?

Maybe not…

Are you feeling overworked?

Is your in-tray always full no matter how hard you work? Do you always feel as if you’re behind schedule? If so, it can have a negative impact on your mental wellbeing. It’s not just the feeling that you’re not keeping up (although of course that does make you feel anxious), it’s the fear that this might be used to eject you from your role altogether.

Then there’s the complete lack of support you feel from your co-workers and boss. Everyone’s under pressure and feeling stressed so nobody helps anyone else. Your boss shows limited interest in how you’re feeling and just tells you to work harder or smarter. But there are parts of your work that can’t be done without more time and budget – and nobody seems interested in giving you what you need.

That disinterest may leave you feeling isolated and scared.

That’s because if you fail, it’s all going to be on your back. There’s no protection or backup from higher up the chain of command. It’s almost as if they want you to fail so they can fire you. And that’s your worry – a worry that’s making you start to feel ill. Work really shouldn’t make you feel that way, should it?

Don’t they care about you?

Maybe not.

Are you being constantly criticised?

You may also be coming in for a lot of unfair criticism from those around you and above you too. Now that’s tough to take. No matter how hard you work, it never seems to be good enough. And your boss doesn’t even look at you when you go to have a meeting. It seems the boss can’t tear him or herself away from her computer screen long enough to have a proper conversation with you.  Is it just that you’re not important or that you’re failing (at least in their eyes?).

All these subtle things mean your confidence is falling through the floor. Perhaps someone even commented on it the other day and you worried your feelings are starting to be noticed. But that doesn’t stop them asking you to take on yet another major project. You feel as if nobody notices you and what you’re contributing except when they need a scapegoat. You’re beginning to think they might be right. Maybe your performance is really slipping and your worries are starting to come true. Work shouldn’t make you feel bad about yourself, should it?

Is there any hope?

These days, it feels as if the world is full of demanding, unreasonable employers all putting their long-suffering staff under more and more pressure.

• Do you work 60, 70 and even 80-hours a week and never feel it’s enough?
• Has your contract has been changed to include impossible targets (and if you don’t meet them, you’re scared you’ll be scrapped)?
• Have you been asked to reapply for your own job (and seen the bar for entry set much higher) so just keeping your grotty job also feels impossible?
• Is redundancy commonplace in your company or industry?
• Do you constantly worry you won’t be able to keep up with the seemingly impossible demands being made on your time and energy?
• With all this stress, is your health suffering too?
• Have you lost hope of ever finding work that’s fulfilling and rewarding (rather than exhausting and confidence-crushing).
• Do you feel your employer just doesn’t care about you anymore?

If this is your experience then you’re not alone.

More and more people are working for employers who just don’t seem to care about them. As a result, they’re getting sick – both emotionally and physically – and they’ve lost hope of ever finding work they enjoy.

But it’s important to remember that It’s NOT YOUR FAULT.

The negative impact of stress

You’re not weak or bad or less than anyone else because your job is making you question yourself or feel ill. The problem is that when you’re under this level of stress you’re in a perpetual state of panic. When you’re on the edge of a crisis all the time and you go into survival mode. You go into flight, fight, freeze or fear mode and that triggers the limbic part of your brain – that ancient reptilian brain that’s alert to fear and anxious to keep you safe at all times.

This means that whenever you experience stress over losing a car parking space, missing a train, or being blanked by your boss in the team meeting, your stress response kicks off. Hormones are dumped into your bloodstream and you experience a surge of adrenalin. The trouble comes when one adrenalin rush is quickly followed by another. This can have a very damaging effect on your nervous system and your mental health.

Not only are you driven to eat unhealthy foods – especially those laden with fat and sugar – you also feel exhausted and ‘on edge’ all the time. You then struggle to concentrate at work or make good decisions. Then you worry even more, so you end up in a perpetual state of worry or anxiety.

You subsequently don’t even get a decent night’s sleep, especially if you get a late-night text from your equally anxious boss. You’re always on edge and waiting for the next accusation, demand or insinuation that you’re not performing to your best. As a result, you’re at breaking point all the time as you feel your job is at risk. Maybe you even feel burnt out by 10am and wondering how you’re going to get through the day.

It’s easy to feel trapped and as if you don’t have any way out of this nightmare scenario. And if everyone you talk to is having the same desperate experience, it can make you feel there aren’t there any decent employers left.

But there are…

Can anything help?

It’s easy to feel helpless when you’re under pressure at work. But there really are things you can do to help yourself, at least in the short term.

1. Set some boundaries by standing up to your boss and asking them not to text or call outside office hours. Turn off your phone during those hours too.
2. Keep a record of events, meetings, emails, phone calls or texts where you feel harassed or picked on by others, or where you believe others’ behaviour is unacceptable.
3. If things are that bad, contact a career expert or an employment law specialist for advice. If nothing else, you’ll know where you stand so you can do something about it.

But these are just strategies to hold off the inevitable. When work is making you feel this bad, the only real solution is to change your role or even your career.

That’s why it’s important you hold onto the fact there are better employers out there. And we can help you find them. Not just in the traditional work you may be used to, but also booming new industries which are less stressful and more fun to work in.

Is it time for you to try something different?

Redundancy, stress, constant criticism and the fear you may lose your job (or may have actually lost it) can be devastating.

That’s because being with a bad employer is like being in any kind of a bad relationship: it’s damaging to your health and self-esteem. And it probably won’t get better even if you put your head down and put up with things. That’s why it’s important you regain your confidence and start looking for something that suits you better — fast.

Dismiss any feelings of shame (because this is happening to you and not your colleagues), any sense of abandonment (because you don’t know how to deal with it) and feelings of betrayal (because you’ve been binned like a piece of rubbish despite putting a huge amount of effort into that role).

Instead, take action so you can get a new and better role as fast as you can.

Because there REALLY is something better out there for you.

How to protect yourself from bad employers

If you’re working for a demanding employer and are planning to move due to their bad behaviour, it can be hard to convince yourself that things can be better. That’s why you need to take some precautions when looking for a new employer.

Out of the frying pan

Before you apply for a role with an employer, check out their reputation. How do they treat their staff? Do a Google search to find out if there are any rumours about them or their company. A company that’s in trouble financially is unlikely to have the wellbeing of their employees at the top of their list of priorities.

High turnover

Another sign of a poor employer is a high level of staff turnover in the company. A company that’s constantly looking for new staff, even though they’re not expanding, may not be a great place to work. Are you always seeing adverts for staff at this organisation? Are they in the same department or area of business? One way to get the lowdown is to ask someone you know (or know someone who knows someone) who’s worked at this organisation. Ask about the culture of the company: does it have family-friendly values or is it less than caring about its employees?

Protect yourself

There are plenty of stories about people resigning form good roles to move to another organisation only to find they have been made redundant before they even started. If you’re changing roles, don’t resign until you have a firm contract in place. If possible, protect yourself by getting a written agreement that outplacement or redundancy support will be provided should things go wrong. Visit London Outplacement

You may not be aware of it, but your money mindset could be costing you a lot of missed opportunities. How can I earn more money fast?

The Straight Answer is simply change your mindset and this article will tell you exactly how to do it.

The Office for National Statistics surveyed 21 million workers to reveal that the average salary in the UK is just £27,200. It also revealed that, on average, train drivers earn more than architects.

This shows that many people’s salaries are not as glorious as you might think. And who wants to earn the average wage anyway?

So this begs the question: “Are you enjoying the success you want in your career or do you want to earn more money?”

Hopefully you’re ready for more. Because if you discover how to change your beliefs and think differently, you can have more money, more luxuries and of course more fun in your life.

So what’s stopping you from earning more money?

There are many reasons for hitting a ceiling in your career but it’s almost certainly because you’ve reached an inner barrier that’s preventing you from rising further.

Introducing, The money mindset-glass ceiling and how to smash through it

It’s not deliberate, though. It’s more of an unconscious block. But if you want to achieve greater career and financial success you need to break your inner financial glass ceiling first.

Some of the signs you’re not achieving your career potential include:

1. Seeing your career stall but having no idea how to get it going again.
2. Realising your current salary doesn’t support your lifestyle aspirations.
3. Living for the weekend because your job is no longer stretching you.
4. Feeling trapped because you can’t see yourself moving beyond your current role and financial situation. Or are you just trying to hold onto what you have got?
5. Looking at your peers and feeling as if you’ve been left behind.

If you recognise any of these problems, it is a sign you’ve reached an upper limit of career success.

That means it’s time to step out of your comfort zone and start changing your money mindset.  Are you ready to do this?  But more importantly, are you excited about the prospect of your income increasing in a big way?

Getting out of your comfort zone and into the making more money-zone

Before you can start taking steps to go after a bigger role and salary, you need to uncover the limits and negative beliefs you’ve unconsciously imposed on yourself.

Only then can you begin the process of identifying your biggest career opportunities then setting goals and planning for financial growth.

You might not think your money mindset could influence the development of your career. But how you feel about money and the amount you earn has a significant impact on how you go about growing and developing your financial future.

The problem is that your thinking around money is so deeply ingrained in your psyche that your conscious mind doesn’t recognise the problem.

So take a moment to consider how you’d feel if you earned £250,000 a year. (This is an optimum level as once you earn over £250K, you’ll tend to need staff to help you manage your lifestyle and commitments.  Over £1M and you’ll need people to help you manage the demands for donations to charities.)

• How does that make you feel?
• What thoughts come to mind?
• What fears come up?
• What possibilities arise?

You may not aspire to earning that much, but it’s worth being aware of the potential you consider earning a much higher salary.

But up until now, you’ve somehow set your salary at a level that’s comfortable for you, even though it doesn’t meet your aspirations.

So you’ll need to start changing your money mindset first. And to do that, you’ll need to get comfortable setting higher budgets, paying off debts and spending money in different ways.

Discover Your Own Money Mindset

If you’re going to change your money mindset you need to understand how you currently think or feel about money. Just work through the questions below:

Ask yourself:

1. What would it mean to achieve your desired level of income? What could you do or buy that you can’t afford right now?
2.  What beliefs have you grown up with that might cause you to resist earning this amount of money right now? And who are you worried about upsetting if you earn over £250K?
3. What does money mean to you?
4. What 5 negative thoughts come to mind when you think of earning a much higher salary?
5. What are 5 positive thoughts come to mind when you think of achieving that amount of income?

A lot of your money mindset comes from your past. So think back to when you were a child to discover what emotions you remember around the subject of money.

• Were you poor with a constant fear that there wouldn’t be enough to go around?
• Did you hear negative comments such as “look at them in their new car” or “those shops are not for people like us”?
• Or was wealth abundant and everything you ever wanted was bought for you?

As you review your financial past, you may uncover the self-limiting beliefs you inherited from your social background and family. These unconscious thoughts and beliefs are your barriers to wealth. They help to explain why you may have stalled at a certain point in your career and income.

How to re-set your money beliefs

If you want to earn more, you need to re-set your money beliefs, set higher targets, clarify what you want to achieve and make a plan to get there.

Setting targets for your career and income is crucial because when defining a target you’re forced to examine where you are and where you want to be. You can then make plans that give you direction, focus and a clear path forward.

Setting targets has many other benefits:

1. It forces you to clarify what you want to achieve financially.
2. It allows you to determine what you need to do to achieve it.
3. You begin to understand your own concerns and also who’s supporting you to reach your goals.

Let’s look at this in more detail.

Clarify what you want to achieve financially

If you don’t know what you want to achieve, you won’t know what to do to achieve it. You’ll stay stuck in your current situation and unable to make decisions or take positive action to change your circumstances.

Think about what you want as this will launch you forward and help you clarify your career and financial goals

This will help you start to make plans.

But knowing what you want isn’t as easy as it sounds. You may have discounted certain opportunities because you believe they’re unattainable or because they bring up certain fears.

This is where Career Consultants can help you.

We understand that going for a bigger role and earning more money brings up lots of emotions. Our goal is to help you identify your next career step and help you go after the roles that will take you where you want to go.

We can offer you the guidance, support and practical help that will take you from thinking about a change to making it happen.

But to do this, you first may need to change the way you think, behave and treat other people.

What would you do differently to earn more money?

We all know that nothing changes unless we make it change. So if you want to earn a higher salary, you’ll need to start doing things differently.

For a start, get clear on how you would behave if you had more money. Imagine earning double what you currently earn. What would you do differently?

1. First, make a list of everything you’d pay off. On your current income, how many months or years will it be before all your debts are paid off (bank loans, car loans and credit card bills, even your mortgage)?
2. Next, make a list of what you would love to buy with the extra income.
3. Finally, once you’ve had all the cars, holidays and clothes you could ever want, what movements, causes or charities would you like to support with your extra income?

Thinking of earning double your salary may have brought up fears as well as excitement. That’s natural, because it shows you’re stepping out of your comfort zone. The more familiar you get with feeling good about having more money, the easier you will find it to believe you can have more.

That’s a game-changer.

Creating your own money-making brand

If you want to step up in your career and earn a higher salary, you need to look and feel ready for it. That means you need to brand yourself on your CV and on LinkedIn to indicate you’re ready for the next step.

Doing this isn’t just an exercise in polishing your image (though this is important). It will also help you prove to yourself and potential future employers that you’re capable of contributing more value.

As you rebrand yourself, you may need to consider whether you’re working for the right company or organisation right now. Does your company value you? Is your company actively encouraging you to develop your skills and your career? If not, you may need to go elsewhere to take a step up to greater responsibility and a position of greater influence.

Before you can reach a higher salary, you need to mentally step into that new and more challenging role. You need to project yourself as being ready by having a credible sales pitch in your meetings with employers and when you connect with influencers on LinkedIn and through your CV.

Get ready for more money to flow in

Start to live as if you’re already on a much higher salary (without spending the cash, of course!). Feel the feelings you’d have and get into the mindset of being wealthier and having a more senior role. Get comfortable with stepping outside your comfort zone by putting yourself forward for more high-profile and demanding tasks that get you noticed and give you the opportunity to demonstrate your skills and abilities.

Take a look at your CV and check that you’ve focused on the value you’re able to bring to an organisation, rather than simply laying out your career story. Be bolder about stating your successes in your career and explain how you’ve contributed to the companies you’ve worked for.

Consider the skills that someone at a higher level needs to bring to that role and organisation. Actively work to highlight where you have gained and used those skills in your current and previous roles or work to develop them now.

Passive income sources

When you’re always up against it with money, it limits what you can do and leads you to play small. So, if lack of money is holding you back or limiting your growth, you might want to consider generating passive income for yourself.

Passive income is what you get from creating something once and selling it many times. Ideal sources of passive income include publishing a book (this can lead to paid speaking engagements and the opportunities to sell your book online or sell your knowledge through an online course.  Both help you to brand yourself as a specialist in your profession plus increase your passive earnings and salary potential as you’re deemed an expert in your field.

Alternatively, if you’re not inspired by being creative through words you could look to build and asset through the likes of YouTube.  YouTube is now one of the fastest ways to make yourself financially independent and it can be fun to build your own channel.  Whether it’s related to your profession, hobby, gaming or music, it often starts with earning a few hundred pounds per month to earning tens of thousands of pounds with the right focus, commitment and attention.

All of these money-making activities will help you to build up savings so you can pay off debts, build up savings and financial freedom. Doing this will give you more choices and options and allow you to be better groomed, feel wealthier and experience having more money.

Another option is to look at cutting your spending by budgeting more carefully and setting savings goals. Paying off debt is a good way to save money. It takes discipline and commitment, but if you can pay off your debts and earn more money simultaneously, you can speed up the process considerably.

Your work relationships define whether or not you will be promoted at work.  Do you find yourself tip-toeing or avoiding around certain individuals?  Or are you always trying to please other people and say the right thing in order to win over their support or approval?  The good news is that if you can really start to define who you are in the workplace you can start to build work relationships that will boost your career progression.

First and foremost ask yourself,

‘Why do I want to Improve Work Relationships?´’

It is definitely easier to be surrounded by people at work who care about you.  People who are generous with their help and compliments, people who are not threatened or upset by your success and people who have your best interests at heart.

Basically, these types of people are in your fan club as they want to do what they can to help you to succeed.  They tend to be honest with you, protect you from negative influences and they may even mentor you.  Offering you random acts of kindness or acting as your human database by putting you in touch with people who can offer you what you need is all part of their friendship.

How do you choose Healthy Work Relationships?

By focusing on the types of people you want to be around at work, you may start noticing that some people put you down or make snide remarks about you.  Perhaps, you don´t feel comfortable around certain individuals or as if you are under pressure to please or fit in with some people.

Whatever is going on with your work relationships, it can all change very quickly indeed if you start to recognise how you want to be treated.  It may even involve you educating and teaching people how to be with you.  It is perfectly OK to ask people for what you need and advise them what support, encouragement and praise suits you best.  You may need to let some people may go, even if you have a long and shared history together.

If the people around you at work are not contributing positivity to your career, you are better off without them. It is all about choice:  choose to have positive and helpful people in your work life and choose to let negative people go.

Relationships at work can be improved very quickly indeed by better understanding your colleagues’ and manager’s natural behavioural style and personality and comparing it to your own.  To find out for what your natural style of behaviour is, fill in our FREE career management profile

Managing the Ongoing Requests of Your Manager: What’s Your Approach?

Three Typical Work Relationships

Listed below are three of the most common types of work relationships.  Check the out to see where and how you can improve your working relationships.

1.  The Energy Sapping Relationship – These relationships are exhausting to be in and they may lead you to feeling quite low.  On the surface, the individual may appear to be very charming, attentive and friendly but this person can literally wipe you out energetically.  These individuals tend to siphon your energy by their constant demands, requests or neediness.  You not even be aware of what is going on because you may enjoy the feelings of importance or value that this relationship offers you.  These types of relationships may be tricky to end if your sense of self or well-being is wrapped up in it, in any way.

Sue was caught up in energy sapping work relationships.  Her boss would call her or text her late in the evenings even demand that she should come into the office early the next day.  Her boss paid no attention to her well-being or personal time.  The focus what purely on the boss and if Sue started to talk about herself her boss´s attention was limited and the conversation was often brought to an abrupt end.

2.  The Energy Dependent Relationship – This type of relationship may appear to be an equal relationship as each party is dependent upon the other party for something.  Each party tends to take turns being dependent upon the other party and it tends to work quite well if neither person changes in any way.

The relationship however does not tend to thrive because personal growth threatens the existence of the relationship itself.  Neither party wants the other person to not need them anymore or to out-grown the relationship.

Bill was in an energy dependent relationship and all was going well until he started to focus on building his self-esteem outside of work. As Bill´s self-confidence grew, he was no longer dependent on his boss´s approval to feel good in himself.  He, therefore, chose to move company and continue to build his own positive self-talk so that he could continue to make more courageous career choices.

3.  The Energy Exchange Relationship – This type of relationship is a healthy and creative one.  Energy is shared and expressed positively so that each party can develop things further.  Neither party is trying to steal or grab energy off the other party so there is space to create things.  Being in a work relationship with these types of people allow you to tap into your best ideas, invent something or allow you to feel inspired as you get in touch with new parts of yourself.

In short, these people bring out the best in you and help you to feel fresh, positive and more creative.

Joanna had always wanted to do graphic design at college but had been persuaded by her parents and school to follow a more academic career path.  She had always felt as if something was missing and as if she should be doing something else.

Presented with an opportunity to do an online graphic design course, Joanna soon found her creative spirit.  Over lunch one day, she casually showed a work colleague her work and was a little surprised to receive an email requesting a tentative request for some help with a project outside of work.  Needless to say this first project led to a whole string of work assignments which within a year allowed Joanna to freelance full time on a salary that was 20% higher than her old job.

But What About YOU?

Have you got people around you at work who are holding you back?  Are you wanting to step forward but lacking a bit of direction or self-confidence?  Do you perhaps need to know how to protect yourself and put boundaries around you so that you are not pressurised to so more than you feel you can?

If you are not working with the right sort of people, don´t be afraid to change.  Great people are not necessarily great for you.  You can make a special impact on the work world by working with people who are good for you.

Remember when you were a kid and anything seemed possible? Here’s the grown-up version of “What job would suit me?”

It’s never too late to ask it and make sure you’re getting the right answer.

That’s because you spend a significant portion of your life at work. It makes sense to keep asking yourself what job best suits you.

Do you really want to waste all your time “just working for a pay-check”?

Because the right career brings you more than success. It delivers happiness too, and it’s hard to put a real price on that. In fact, if you’re not truly happy in your job now, then you’re wasting a glorious opportunity for a much more rewarding and fulfilling career.

An unhappy career can not only damage you psychologically, it can also hurt your relationships and prosperity for many years to come.

Here’s the quick and easy way to determine what job would suit you: focus on your interests rather than your qualifications. Yes, it’s really that simple.

What’s your real passion in life? What interests you so intensely that time just falls away when you’re engaged with it?

That’s the kind of job that would make you happiest.

Make that the starting point for investigating your better and happier future career direction.

And don’t give up if you don’t have relevant experience or qualifications — yet.

That’s because all job categories and careers have low-level entry points. Seek out ideas, information and people with interesting jobs. Find out what they enjoy, how they got into their line of work, and who else can help you learn more.

Now here’s what else can help point you toward a truly happy and fulfilling career direction.

How A Career Management Profile Helps You Answer “What Job Should I Have?”

The Disc system helps you to identify your personality type and understand more about your own career motivators and aspirations. This information makes it much easier to carve out your career path in the right direction. That’s because it helps you focus on what you want long-term.

Why Is It So Important To Fill Out Our ‘What Job Would Suit Me’ Quiz?

By answering the questions about yourself honestly, you’ll remain emotionally detached from the outcome. And detachment from your job situation or desired outcome is essential for tapping into your real career purpose.

Following your career passion is far more rewarding than doing any old job you feel you “should do” or “ought to do”. But often we end up doing those kinds of jobs due to early influencers such as our parents, teachers and partners who might not always understand our underlying passion.

That’s why many people simply don’t know what they want, career wise. They use their head or mind to solve their career issues rather than their heart. This means many people are still searching for their dream or ideal career for much of their working life and never really answer the “what should my career be?” question.

It’s far better to base your career decisions upon your emotions and what feels truly right to YOU. Your feelings and emotions are what provide the motivation to get things done in your career. They also energise you and help you to sustain your focus, sense of fun and satisfaction.

Your career is too short and precious to do things you feel you “should do”, “ought to do” or “must do”. It’s YOUR life, after all!

By identifying your true heart’s desire, you’ll redirect your career course and achieve a higher level of success, fulfilment and satisfaction than even you dreamed possible.

That’s why our “What Job Would Suit You” quiz is so important. It helps you stand back from any past or current career frustrations and tap into your ‘true-self’.

And if you can stretch to it, opt for the profile with a career consultancy session as our consultant will talk you through the career options possible for you.
