#3 Career Coach Ciara Davies: How to Find A Job You Really Love

"A lot of people underestimate their 'superpower' or 'Zone of Genius'. Everyone has something that they really enjoy or are really good at - and probably better at it than most people. At first glance, it might not look like the type of skill that is job-orientated. It's the kind of task that doesn't bore you. It's probably something you do when you're not thinking. It could also be something that gives you energy after you do it."

My guest this week is Career Coach and Business Strategist Ciara Davies. After working in education, the arts, HR, and international trade negotiations, she scored her dream job as an attaché at a British embassy overseas. It wasn’t long, however, before she missed the satisfaction of making a positive difference to people’s lives on a personal level. This is when serendipity intervened in the form of an opportunity to train as an internal coach to other staff in the Foreign Service.

Fast-forward a few years, and now she’s a full-time Career Coach, helping people identify their unique talents and define their own version of success in work and life. Nothing gives her more satisfaction than working with clients to realise their ambitions. A graduate of Cambridge University, she’s one smart cookie who’s brought about her own career evolution and is now on a mission to help others do the same.

Ciara Davies is a very special guest because not only is she someone who has made a significant career change herself, but she also coaches other people to do the same. Double whammy. Naturally, Ciara had plenty of fantastic advice to share. We talked all about: How following your curiosity can help you find your so-called ‘zone of genius', why people are unhappy in their jobs and what they can do about it, as well as how you can get clear on what you REALLY desire. We also chatted sharks and hula hooping. Intrigued? You’ll have to listen.

Ciara also very kindly offered you guys a FREE Career Ignition Session valued at 197 Euros. Head over to [http://ciaradavies.com/podcastoffer/](http://ciaradavies.com/podcastoffer/) to sign-up!
