The tragic demise of Christopher Reeve doesn’t detract from his famous saying that, “Once you choose hope, anything is possible.”
It has particular poignancy and resonance for those facing career challenges. Proteus is often the first port of call for those who seek to do something about a failing career. “My situation is hopeless,” is a phrase we often hear.
Our advice is never to give up hope: there is always a solution if you seek guidance and work at it proactively. Clearly the first stage is to identify why you feel unhappy.
What’s wrong with your working environment; are you bored; which of the company’s values go against your own; do you feel under-challenged; is there some unpleasant ‘writing on the company’s wall’; are some employees’ attitudes offensive; are you being bullied; what about sexual harassment?
Now that you know what the problem is you are in a much stronger position to do something about it and find a solution!
