These surveys and studies allow me a special lens into the deepest thoughts and beliefs of people who are building careers that excite and inspire them, as well as those who are despairing and disillusioned, and desperately want a change but can\u2019t figure out how to create it. These clients and respondents communicate in many different ways about what they want most, which invariably is: more joy, ease, meaning, purpose, and control, as well as less toxicity, and earning a great living doing work that matters to them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In these studies, I\u2019m continually looking for new clues as to what makes professionals<em> experience themselves<\/em> as happy and successful. I\u2019m also looking at what contributes to ongoing malaise, sadness and dissatisfaction in our careers. My recent <a href=\"http:\/\/kathycaprino.com\/careerquiz\" target=\"_blank\">Career Success Readiness Quiz<\/a>, for instance, captured the responses of over 10,000 participants from around the world, probing what they\u2019re doing, and not doing, to build more success, joy and reward in their work.<\/p>\n<p>Several of the most powerful findings that emerged from this study were:<\/p>\n<p><strong>70% of respondents answered \u201cNO\u201d to this:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"article-0-inread\" class=\"inread ng-isolate-scope inread-active\">\u00a0<em>\u201cI have concrete, measurable and specific short-term and long-term goals for my career, and I know where I\u2019m taking it.\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n<p><strong>63% answered \u201cNO\u201d to this:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI have both mentors and sponsors in my life who give me important feedback and have the power and influence to open new doors for me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>55% answered \u201cNO\u201d to this:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI feel that my work is meaningful and I am making the impact I want to, in my organization, community and the world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>43% answered \u201cNO\u201d to this:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI know what I\u2019m passionate about and what I want to focus on for my livelihood, versus what I want to keep as a hobby or outside interest.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Having spent 18 years in a very unhappy corporate career myself, then climbing out of that rut over 10 years, I\u2019ve gained greater awareness of what I\u2019m doing and thinking differently now in my own career that paves the way for more success, joy and reward.<\/p>\n<p>From these studies and my work with over 10,000 professionals, I\u2019ve seen that there are eight\u00a0mindsets and beliefs that separate professionals who feel happy, positive and successful, from all the rest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/kathycaprino\/2015\/12\/09\/the-happiest-and-most-successful-professionals-8-ways-they-think-differently\/?ss=forbes-woman\" target=\"_blank\">CONTINUE READING<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By:\u00a0Kathy Caprino In my work as a career success coach, I regularly survey thousands of professionals each year.
