008 - Career Selection: What Are You Meant to Do, Anyway?!

You already know it’s important to pick a career path that aligns with who you are. Of course you’ll do your best work (and be a lot happier) if your job reflects your strengths, abilities, interests, and values. But, HOW do you decide what specific career is best for you? And how do you ensure your success once you’ve selected your track? It’s not so easy to figure out... but, take heart! You can absolutely find your way into a career that will bring lifelong fulfillment – if you put in the work.

Take it from Brian O’Connor, a 40 year veteran of the horse industry who is living proof that career alignment is entirely possible. From a young age, Brian managed to combine his two passions –horses and the performing arts– to create a niche role for himself that has brought tremendous success. Brian has traveled the world (quite literally) helping run equestrian competitions as an announcer and communications specialist. He has earned an impeccable reputation and boasts career highlights including 3 World Championships, 2 World Cups, an Olympic Games, and more. He joins us today to discuss career alignment, how he found it, and -most importantly- how you can find it for yourself!
