When the Good Job Wasn't the Right Fit | Ep 285 with Dr. Robin

This week's "At her Career Crossroads" insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin. *"A good opportunity can still be a wrong fit. That sounds simple, but it's not always easy to accept. A good opportunity can be very convincing. It can come with the title, the salary, and the respect from other people. You tell yourself I should be happy. I worked hard for this. And yes, gratitude matters, but gratitude is not the same thing as alignment."* Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: - Have you ever looked successful on paper but felt disconnected from your work? In this episode, I share the career decision that taught me success and alignment are not always the same thing. <!--THE END--> - If you're questioning whether a role, career, or opportunity still fits, you'll learn how to recognize the clues that something deeper may be asking for your attention before you have all the answers. <!--THE END--> - You'll hear the three lessons I learned from leaving a respected leadership role, including why you don't need a complete roadmap before taking the next right step. I'm a professor, speaker, author, coach, and creator of the PurposeMAKER philosophy, framework, and platform. Through Leadership Purpose with Dr. Robin, I help high-achieving women close the gap between success and fulfillment so they can create lives and careers filled with meaning and purpose. ***Would you prefer to watch or listen to the podcast on YouTube?*** Head on over to https://www.youtube.com/@leadershippurposepodcast ***Want to connect?*** Connect with Dr. Robin on  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robinlowensphd/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/robinlowensphd Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/robinlowensphd/ Email: [Robin@LeadershipPurposePodcast.com](mailto:Robin@LeadershipPurposePodcast.com) Thank you for listening!
