A common pattern we see when professionals decide to get serious about their career and look for solutions: the loss of identity.

Losing your sense of identity comes across as feeling unseen, unrecognized, and unfulfilled. It looks like serving the interests of your manager or partners without being able to do what matters to you. You have so much inside of you that you want to contribute, but your current environment just isn't tapping into it.

You start to fade away, feeling like your skills are languishing, or that you're losing your own sense of self and purpose. Partners, friends, and family are starting to notice. They want you to feel fulfilled, and so do you, you just don't exactly know how to get it.

Thankfully, Vocation is now a part of these stories. It provides a space for people to wrestle with what's wrong, what they really need, and how to move forward with confidence.

If you're feeling yourself get lost at work, it's time for a change.
