🦋 Coaching

Join our fresh launched coaching program in our community platform! Take a look at one of the questions that came up, and Julia's reply:

❓Community question: "Over the last seven years, I've worked in gender and anti-corruption-focused philanthropy and nonprofits as a program and grants management generalist. I have not specialized in any one topic, region, or technical aspect. I am in between jobs and while I have gained a wealth of experience and insights during this time, I've come to a point where I'm feeling job hunt fatigue and a sense of professional stagnation. I'm hoping to gain clarity on how to navigate my career moving forward and I would love your insights on the following: Overcoming burnout: What strategies can help overcome job hunt burnout? Leveraging generalist experience: How can I leverage my broad range of experiences as a social justice generalist to transfer into new fields such as corporate philanthropy? Redefining career goals: Do you have advice on how to build out goals and a path when your career is no longer clear?"

🎥Coach thoughts: In this video, I address three important topics: overcoming burnout, leveraging your generalist experience, and redefining career goals. I provide practical advice and insights on how to give yourself a break from the job search, reflect on what gives you energy, and be compassionate to yourself. I also share tips on highlighting your generalist experience and finding clarity in your career path.
