Description

It’s incredibly common to feel like you’re not achieving enough, or that you don’t know what your life purpose is. The root of these problems is most often found in your work life, but it can be surprisingly simple to get back on track and start doing what you love.

Many people underestimate how much your choice of job affects your long-term happiness. This course is for anyone who dreads going to work in the morning and knows they could be doing better, but just doesn’t know how to get there.

This course is specifically designed to help you identify your ideal career. You’ll spend time honing in on what your dream career and life purpose is, as well as the benefits and sacrifices required to make more money. We’ll go over the pros and cons of being self-employed and starting your own business, and look at the choice between taking risky jobs, versus those that are safe but don’t excite you.

This course will delve deep into your life goals and how you view success, and whether you feel that success is something worth exchanging for stress. We’ll look at whether having a big salary is a priority to you and how to feel like you’re doing your best work every day. This course will help you find the ultimate career sweet spot, where you get to do something you are good at and enjoy, that gives you a sense of achievement and contribution to the world, while also paying the bills – the Japanese call this Ikigai.

Highly rated:

"Highly recommended! I absolutely loved the course, its contents, the way it was taught, and the timing. Chris is a natural born trainer, he is SO enjoyable to watch and listen to. Unlike other trainers, he gives the constant impression of always knowing what he's saying and where he's headed. I am not a native English speaker and found it very easy (and enjoyable) to listen to. He has the gift of clarity and conciseness, and he's fun! I took a lot of notes and useful tips to apply daily, starting immediately during the first lessons. I am very grateful for the brilliant insights he has inspired. I had some negative preconceptions about coaches but Chris really is a great guide. 100% recommended! I already bought 2 more of his courses :) Thank you for putting these contents out there, Mr. Croft!"

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
