Are you feeling frustrated at work, burnt out, or like something’s missing in your career? Do you see the same struggles in your team—disengagement, lack of motivation, or a failure to reach their full potential? These are common signs of career misalignment. Without the right fit between what you need, what you’re good at, and what you love, even the most talented people can end up feeling stuck, disconnected, and burned out.
But here’s the good news: It doesn’t have to be that hard to change. With the right approach, you can build a stellar career for yourself and lead a rock-star team. Today, I’m giving you an exclusive sneak peek into my Need Good Love model—a memorable success formula designed to help you and your team overcome career misalignment and unlock your full potential.
Career Alignment
Career alignment means finding a role that fits with your needs, strengths, and passions. When you’re aligned, you feel energized, motivated, and fulfilled at work. It’s not just about doing well; it’s about thriving in a role that truly resonates with who you are. Why does this matter? Because without alignment, even the most talented individuals and teams will struggle. Misalignment leads to disengagement, burnout, and frustration.
Introducing the Need Good Love Model
My Need Good Love model is designed to help you and your team achieve career alignment by focusing on three essential elements:
Need: Does your job meet your practical needs, like salary, benefits, and work-life balance?
Good: Are you doing something you’re naturally good at? Does the role play to your strengths?
Love: Do you love what you do? Does it bring you joy and energy?
When you align these three components, you’re not just coasting through work—you’re excelling. The Need Good Love model helps individuals and leaders create environments where both personal fulfillment and team success thrive.
