On The Journey is established after a thorough research and life experience in August 2023. The main goal is to support people find their professional identity. It is very important to understand what you want, whether your professional identity is aligned with your career goals. From my research and life experience, other factors also contribute to this, including childhood trauma, co-dependency, unsettled identity, not knowing what you want from life. Therefore, I am here to help you resolve your mind, reach to a peaceful mindset which I think would have %100 link with having a clear identity, present yourself assertively, have better coping, and communication strategies. You will reach to this after a through inner journey.
For people who have a job, their professional careers play an important role in their lives. If you work full-time in an office, approximately 40 hours pass in a workplace. This is an enormous time. How we behave, interact with our colleagues, the way we present ourselves, and things that we express outside all play an important role not only to lead a successful professional life but also to pass the days with meaning and satisfaction. An inner journey will help you to reach to your core self.
This does not sound as easy, as it should be. Because when we go to work, it is just more than doing the work. How we communicate, present ourselves, how to cooperate with colleagues, the skills that we choose to proceed with, being assertive with a balanced tone—they all play a significant role in our productivity, work satisfaction and even wellbeing.
Settling a professional identity has a direct link with settling down an identity. Your childhood house plays an enormous role in how you present yourself to the outside. If you grew up in a difficult house, then it might be the case that you perform impulsive behaviors or immature acts, and it is not your fault. This is by default recorded to your repertoire, so no need to feel guilty. It can also be that you take things very seriously from what other people say, take it home, and bring it everywhere with you.
Being assertive is presented like a badge of honor, and makes many people feel awkward about themselves. However, not everyone might be assertive; they don’t need to be assertive. We live in groups and have natural roles in groups. Someone could be the leader, another person could be the mediator, and another person could be the organizer, so it all comes naturally. So, no need to stress yourself if you think you don’t have the leader characteristics. Because then you have other skills in which you could benefit society.
Setting boundaries is also an important issue—to your boss, to your colleagues, to yourself. For instance, when you set healthy boundaries with yourself, you will not only be skilled at balancing work and private life but also set doable plans and make healthy and realistic to-do’s. People who have issues with setting boundaries usually have a tendency to make too much explanation, take the majority of the work, do work to please colleagues and bosses, not feel sufficient in terms of achievement despite the intense workload, might have a tendency to ask other people’s opinions, and feel guilty to say no.
How you perceive others also plays an important role in terms of your relationship at work. Our childhood plays a major role in how we see the world. If we grew up with a fragile or demanding parent, we might have the tendency to please other people, which other people can take advantage of. Therefore, it is important to become aware of our tendencies and fix them to have a professional and private life with high quality.
It was a couple of years ago that I experienced an intense work pressure accompanied by demanding bosses, and I was too ambitious that I could not set my work goals in a healthy way. There I suffered a lot yet also gained a lot of insights regarding setting healthy boundaries and communicating effectively with people. It was an intense teaching experience for me and I realized that I could not succeed in that structure mainly because of poor communication and coping skills, impulsivity and anger management. However, I learned a lot regarding other things, such as communicating effectively, settling down a character, and presenting oneself in a very clear and assertive way. After lots of education and training in psychology, I am now ready to help other people. Click to my session profile.
In my journey, I discovered that childhood traumas play a great deal of role in how we speak to other people. This has helped me to settle my character and have a pure, clear and sharp mind. After I got that insight, I dedicated my life to helping other people improve their mindset for a better quality of life. For people who have a job, the majority of adult life passes at work, and many of our social lives also happen there. Therefore, it is important to present yourself well, communicate properly, present yourself with confidence, and be clear about who you are professionally. The blogs, articles, and other materials on this website are all designed to help you in this.
Dare to start this inner journey with me, you will discover a lot of things about yourself and your future self.
