👋Hey gang hope you liked the vid! It was a bit of an experiment doing the whole thing as a voiceover, what did you think of it?
-
Sometimes we love the work we do, but the way our companies or teams execute the tasks is the only negative thing. That's something we need to address as well.
-
I loved how the strenght and weaknesses were presented here. Really made me change the way I see things. Someone like this comment so I can come back from time to time and rewatch this.
-
as a perfectionist, i find this new way of looking at strengths and weaknesses super useful and life changing
-
I love how strengths and weaknesses are defined! I am good at my work, but it is a huge drain.
-
I heard this definition of a Dream Job years ago, and it’s stuck: 1. love the company you work for (its values, mission, etc.), 2. love the people you work with, and 3. love the day-to-day tasks you’re doing. Easy, right?? 😂 I like the voiceover format. Well done and thank you, Ali!
-
That re-definition of strengths and weaknesses might just be life-changing.

I was very fortunate to know what I wanted to do in life at around 16 when I stumbled across the word "Computer Programming". I did not go to college but instead graduated from a 2 year "Technical Institute" with a degree in Computer Programming in 1974 ... 43 years later I retired never having worked a day in my life ... I could not believe companies were willing to pay me BIG money just to play all day long programming computers ... LOL

I’m a massage therapist and human resource manager part time and I love it. I figured out I’d be good at it by taking the Myers Briggs personality test.
-
What I found as a challenge is that you might end up liking a career that is not in high demand job wise, and then you can get stuck again due to a lack of opportunities in that particular field.
-
Just keep trying things, specially when ur young, there is no shame in not knowing what u want in life, specially when ur young. Keep trying things, keep taking risk and keep evolving. At some point you will find what you want.
-
I enjoyed the voiceover style and the energy created by the transition between the podcast clips (Helen is fab - I’ve been following her and Sarah and Amazing if for years) and images and video clips. I would still like to see videos in your live recording style but mixing it up is great.
-
hi Ali. i really love how you turned your podcasts into videos like this. it's digestible & memorable 😊. i look forward to watching more of these 🎉
-
I wish I heard this when I was in school. Just love the entire video. I am telling myself now that it isn't too late for me now. Thanks once again Ali for another amazing video.
-
Thank you for this video! I was feeling lost for a second but these steps guided me back to my path.
-
Sometimes, your dream career finds you first ! Good content as always ❤
-
I feel depressed and stuck at my current career. The work environment and dynamic has changed over the years. In the past because of the good rapport I had with my coworkers, I enjoyed coming to work everyday no matter how stressful it was but it’s so different now. We’ve had turnovers in the last few years plus a shift in our job responsibilities, also feeling unchallenged and unmotivated in my day to day tasks. I hope I’ll find a career or job I can enjoy and not feeling like I’ve worked a day in my life.
-
Values are so important in every part of life!
-
I remember the lady from your odcast! She was so good at explaining her knowledge about the career. It was one of my favorite
-
I loved this video! for the longest time ive always wondered what career path was best for me. I tried youtube, i've tried so many other jobs and none of them seemed to have worked out. i recently discovered a possible career path for me and im excited to see where this opportunity takes me!
