What you do is a big deal!
Our guest today is Suzie Marsden from Amp’d Careers. www.ampdcareers.com. Co-founded with her business partner Sharon Spence they are all about helping people find work they love.
In these strange times we find ourselves in these days, our work and home lives overlap. What we do becomes very important. Can you say I love what I do? If not you need to meet Suzie!
Amp’d careers are here to make sure more people do say that. They like to work with people to help them uncover their own direction. (Something she only really began to do consciously for herself, in her 40’s.) It’s never too late to gain personal meaning from what you do.
I love getting to know the person or people behind their brand, and Amp’d Careers have 2 very impressive women making a difference in this space. Coming from extensive career and leadership backgrounds, they are both embracing the challenges that go with growing a new business.
Whether you are going through organisational change, a school leaver wanting to know what to do , or needing inspiration on your next moves, Amp’d careers will help with a structure that Suzie explains so well in our interview. We don’t always know what we want to do. Choices can be paralysing. But, as Suzy says, it’s not important to know what you are going to do in 15 years time, because things will change. Some careers may not have even been invented yet. Just know the direction you are heading in.
Suzie helps you understand yourself through your values and what’s meaningful to you, and comes up with ‘Career briefs.’ They lead you to find the personal meaning in the work you do, and help you get really clear about the difference you want to make. It doesn’t always mean a new job. Sometimes it’s seeing the pathway in the organisation that you already belong to.
After sleeping, work is the second biggest user of our time. Yet people don’t always invest in the career of choice, and miss adding meaning and value to their lives. And that sucks!
Whether you have an organisation that wants to keep great talent, or are in the process of being ‘redirected,' or wanting to design your life and career with more meaning and purpose, get in touch with Suzie at www.ampdcareers.co.nz.
