Finding a career you are passionate about is the ticket to gaining career fulfillment. Passionate workers are more engaged and more productive at their jobs. However, workplace engagement has been declining in recent years, with the ratio of engaged to actively disengaged US workers sitting at 1.8-to-1, the lowest figure since 2013.

On today’s episode of Find Your Niche: A Career Podcast, Career Coach Lori Cole dives into matching your passions to your job. She walks through the process of obtaining career fulfillment through the following steps:

  • Self-Reflection: Exploring your passions, interests, values, strengths, and skills.
  • Research: Seeking roles, companies, and industries that match your passions.
  • Experimentation: Stepping out of your comfort zone by getting hands-on experience to build skills in your chosen field (including internships, part-time work, and volunteering).
  • Goal-Setting: Putting together SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) goals that drive you toward your desired result.
  • Mentorship: Seeking people who got where you want to be and learning from them.

In addition to revealing the path to career fulfillment, Cole also chats with Todd Youse, KabaFusion’s Director of Talent Acquisition, about finding your passion at work. And, she shares which Artificial Intelligence tool she is utilizing today.
