Rephrasing the famous song, “Love is in the air”, let’s talk about change is in the air – and everywhere. We grow. We change. Look at your childhood photos. Watch your kid, your nephew, your niece. The change is there, and it’s incredible. Nature is constantly changing. We wait for summer as the time to enjoy outdoor activities and gardening, for a quick visit to the beach, or simply take time to relax and spend time with family, friends and loved ones. We wait for winter (even if we never see snow falling) to decorate the house for the holidays, pack presents for the people we love and unpack our own. The colour of the leaves changes, the weather shifts, and flowers blossom in their time – the landscape is constantly transforming. The world around us is changing. We travel to other countries and learn new things, cultures and languages. We take on new hobbies. We get new skills. After a couple of minor kitchen accidents (sometimes), we can cook delicious dishes and get compliments from family and friends. We transform our bodies at the gym or simply by creating the habit of walking every day. We meet new people, we sometimes fall in love, we build families, we have kids. And if you step back for a second, you realise you might have met your other half by pure accident. But you took a leap of faith into the unknown. We embrace many types of unknown change, except for the one that can change how we live five days a week – to change jobs. “I am too old/too young to change”, “I’m used to this environment; It’s my comfort zone”, “Well, I don’t get any promotion, and what I do doesn’t change the world, but it’s stable”, “I am afraid to ask for more interesting projects. What if my manager fires me?”. We often don’t want to change because that step requires a vision, courage, external support, and a leap of faith into the unknown. Scary? Yes. But also promising. A step into the unknown? Yes. But it can open a new door. Do your inner values marry what you do? Yes, it is essential. There is nothing terrible about staying in your comfort zone. At some stage of your career, staying put can be an excellent decision. But if you feel that you need a change – talk to Kelly. We don’t mind going the extra mile and support your wish to embrace the change. The one which will give meaning to what you do, feel proud, motivated and fulfilled. Ready for changing? We’ll make sure your talent can truly shine.

At first sight, the word enthusiasm seems to have manifold meanings. Many different emotions and ideas are hidden within it. Enthusiasm is what could be called a wallet word – an often overlooked, valuable keyword. For some of us, the word means passion and inspiration, the energy to move mountains when you love what you do. The Cambridge Dictionary defines enthusiasm as "a feeling of energetic interest in a particular subject or activity and an eagerness to be involved in it." Given that work represents quite a big chunk of our lives, we ought to talk about enthusiasm in the workplace. This is one of those moments when a short checklist comes in handy. Looking at our five statements below, how many of these can you relate to? Whenever I think of my job, I wake up with the same idea – Oh no, not that again. It doesn't matter, remote one or in the office. My workday seems never to end, and, in the evening, I feel like I've run a marathon, even if the clock tells me only eight hours have passed. After my workday, I feel drained and don't have energy for my family or other activities. I can't wait for a weekend to come so I can have a break from my daily nightmare. Every Sunday evening, I almost panic when I think I must do it all again tomorrow. If you can relate to at least three of these statements, take it as the sign you have been waiting for and let's continue talking about enthusiasm. Or, to be precise, a lack of it. Consider the following before it turns into a rabbit hole, which often becomes a mental and physical black hole. Take a week off. Take a break. Talk to yourself with honesty and clarify your values and priorities. Think of what fills you with energy, ENTHUSIASM, joy and inspiration. And if it has nothing to do with your current job, it's time to get what you deserve – a position that can give you a feeling of purpose, putting your talent and skills into everything you do. Make an inventory of your skills, abilities and real wishes – and imagine the professional path that would make you wake up in a great and creative mood. Remember we called enthusiasm a wallet word? When enthusiasm is back at work, you will get passion, inspiration, energy and the ability to move mountains as a sweet bonus. At Kelly, we know much about bringing back those lost positive feelings and emotions at work. We like to show that there's a limitless world of opportunities and that everyone can live feeling needed, appreciated and successful. Talk to us today.
