In the midst of a career transition it is tempting to think about what your ideal job would be. What would the position description and job title look like for the job that I feel like I'd really thrive in. It's a fun imaginary place to live.
When I come back to reality though, I usually remember that the jobs of the future and the ones that are directly in my path will be hard to capture in a title or a position mandate. It's not about someone else giving me permission or authority to do the work.
The amazing thing about that is it means the job that I want is mine today. It's all about how I show up and the influence that I choose to make every day. The scary thing is it means it is up to me. That I must have the fortitude to step into the unknown and to just do the work that I see that needs to be done rather than waiting for someone to give me permission to do it.
