There are so many people out there that are unhappy in their careers? They think that just finding a different job or working for someone else is always the answer.

It is human nature to think "the grass is always greener" some place else than where they are. While, certainly people can move out of a difficult job situation and successfully create wonderful changes in their career, sometimes it would be much easier to just create an attitude adjustment for a shift in your career, where you are currently working.

How can that be? Well, the saying above is quite profound. "Wherever you go, there you are..." suggests that you bring your issues, baggage, dramas and energy wherever you go.

Here is an example: based on the "law of attraction", where like attracts like, even if you get a job elsewhere to get out of a bad boss situation, you still may attract a similar boss with the same ability to push all your buttons. That is not fun! But how can that happen? It could be caused by your attitude, your thoughts, your energy around "authority figures", "managers" or "bosses."

So, say you are a person who has trouble with authority. You cannot stand your upper management. You have lots of reasons why your manager just is lousy at managing people and you think, if that manager would just not be there anymore, you would shift and be much happier.

Well, there is another way of shifting your perspective on this. This person may be pushing your buttons, but perhaps instead of pointing your finger at them, look at the 3 fingers point back at you, when you are pointing. Evaluate what you do on a regular basis, or how you think, that may be attracting some of this "icky stuff" that is coming you way.

Here are 5 Shift Assistâ„¢ coaching questions to guide you to shift and adjust your attitude to create a career change by asking the "if questions":

Ask yourself if you are someone who is easy to work with. Are you someone who is willing to do what is asked of you, or do you often put up an energy of "resistance?"
Ask yourself if, you are someone who tends to look at the negative side of things. Do you complain a lot to others? Do you gossip and cause trouble?
Ask yourself if, you wake up each day thinking how you can serve your manager, your organization and its customers? Are you there to serve others, or are you just caught up with yourself?
Ask yourself if, you are going to your job and giving it your all... if you use your skills and talents to their fullest?
Ask yourself if, you are compassionate to your management and other co-workers? Are you compassionate with yourself?

The honest answers to these questions will help you discover what you bring to your work situation everyday. Remember, "wherever you go, there you are..." So, who are you when you go to work?

Do you need a career change or just an attitude adjustment? If you shift your attitude, you may be very shocked how much your career changes right where you are!
