Ep 02: Finding a job after a toxic work experience

Have you recently had a horrible work experience, like a restructure or redundancy or a work relationship that impacted your self-belief? Are you now struggling to navigate a rollercoaster of a job hunt? Join your host, Jennifer McCanna, as she sits down with Suzie Henriques, a career coach who specialises in supporting leaders to get seen by prospective new employers, whilst lifting their spirits and rebuilding their confidence. Suzie talks about how to transition from feeling defeated by a challenging work environment to landing a job you genuinely love. We cover the nuances of CV writing and interview tactics and share transformative stories (from both Jen and Suzie) of personal growth and self-discovery. Tune in and discover how one courageous step could lead you to a job that aligns with your true self.

Here are the Highlights:

  • Charting your career in emotional terms to connect work and life
  • How releasing your emotions leads to transformative decisions
  • Updating your CV and exploring your goals
  • Why aligning with your true values crucial for career choices
  • Overcoming doubt and taking courageous action
  • Embracing change and taking ownership of your desires

Watch our Emotional Freedom Technique Video for some practical help.

This tap is for you if you’ve ever had a difficult work experience that has stayed with you, whether you are in it right now or it was a long time ago. You might feel quite tired after this tap, or like having a little cry, if you’ve been carrying something for a long time and put it down, you can experience that as a bit of a physical release.

You may feel safest exploring this 1-1 with an EFT practitioner – if so get in touch. With your well-being in mind, I’ve kept this tap as light as I can but if you don’t feel ready to explore these feelings, then be guided by your instinct.

A note from Jennifer and McCanna Coaching Ltd: I invite you to tap along to the videos alongside these episodes whilst taking full responsibility for your health and wellbeing. EFT is a fantastic self help tool with ever growing credibility due to positive results from scientific studies. It is not a substitution for seeking professional advice. If you are concerned about your physical or mental health please consult a qualified medical professional. If you would prefer to explore EFT with a qualified practitioner, get in touch and I’ll share some options.
