Podcast Feature: Balancing Professionalism and Authenticity in Our Careers

I was recently invited to be a guest on the Authentically You podcast, hosted by Dr. Krista Boyer at Authentic Perspectives Psychological and Counseling Services. My episode focuses on how to be authentic in your career decision-making and how to show up authentically at work.

Authentically You Excerpt

“When you’re in a space where you notice not a lot of people are interested in something but you are… follow that! That’s that intuition telling you that this could be your niche.”
- Dominique Dove, LPC

In the episode, we discuss:

  • how I pivoted from a successful career in market research to working in the mental health field

  • important things to consider when you feel like your career isn’t a good fit for you

  • how your career values may change over lifetime - and how to assess what they are now

  • how to use values and strengths to craft a professional persona while still being true to yourself

  • the exact process I use to help my clients illuminate their best fit career options

  • the benefits of working with a career coach or counselor

  • why targeting your job search to a specific role and industry accelerates your job search

You can listen to the podcast below, or find it on Spotify.
