VOCATION: How do you find work you love?

  Have you ever felt that spark of excitement when you're doing something you truly love? ✨

  
That sense of purpose and fulfilment that comes from aligning your work with your passions and values? 🤔

That's the magic of finding true Vocational-Alignment in your life!

  At coachio we believe finding your true Vocation is more than just a job it's an integral need within your BEING.

Achieving true Vocational-Alignment is about finding work that resonates with your soul, which energizes you and empowers you in making meaningful contributions to the world.

What is your Vocation? 🤔

Finding your true Vocation is the sweet spot where your passions, talents, and values intersect with the needs of the world.  Attaining Vocational-Alignment is about finding work that is more than just a job, it's your calling in life!

Imagine a Venn diagram with three overlapping circles including the 3 bullet points below:

  • What you love: Your passions, interests, and things that bring you joy. ❤️

  • What you're good at: Your skills, talents, and natural abilities. 💪

  • What the world needs: The problems you want to solve and the contributions you want to make. 🌍

Where these three circles intersect is where you'll find your VOCATION, imperative to your Vocation is ensuring true Vocational-Alignment. i.e. Your values, strengths and aspirations align to the right organisation, the right leadership and working environment where your mutual values and culture are a true fit! ✨

Finding Vocational-Alignment may be with an organisation you love, or a vocational environment and culture that you create for yourself! 😊

Why is your Vocation Important? 🤔

Finding your ideal vocation can have a profound impact on your life.  Research has shown that people who feel a sense of purpose and meaning in their vocational work, experience:

  • Greater job satisfaction and engagement (Wrzesniewski, McCauley, Rozin, & Schwartz, 1997) 😊

  • Improved mental and physical health (Steger, Dik, & Duffy, 2012) 💪

  • Increased resilience and well-being (Bundick, 2003) 🌱


On the other hand, feeling misaligned in your career can lead to:


  • Boredom and lack of motivation 😴

  • Stress and burnout 😔

  • Decreased productivity and performance 📉

The 5 Core Life Domains and Your Vocation 🗺️

At coachio, we believe your vocation is interconnected with all aspects of your life across your 5 core life-domains.
We use our proprietary, universal coaching model called the FIT Model, to help you explore and measure your 5 core life-domains (HBSVW); consisting of the following:

HEALTH  >  BEING  >  SOCIAL  >  VOCATION  >  WEALTH


The 5 core life-domains are fundamental to our coaching approach, and combined help provide a framework for identifying how your career can contribute to a balanced and fulfilling life.

  • HEALTH: A fulfilling vocation can improve your mental and physical health by reducing stress, increasing engagement, and providing a sense of purpose.

     Studies have shown that individuals who find meaning and purpose in their work have lower levels of stress hormones and report better overall health (Schneider et al., 2007)

  • BEING: Your vocation allows you to express your authentic self, develop your talents, and contribute to something meaningful.

     Research suggests that when our work aligns with our values and allows us to express our true selves, we experience greater job satisfaction and psychological well-being (Dik, Duffy, & Eldridge, 2009).

  • SOCIAL: Your work environment and colleagues can become an important part of your social network, providing support, connection, and a sense of belonging.

     Strong social connections at work have been linked to increased happiness, engagement, and productivity (Carter, 2012).

  • VOCATION: Finding the right Vocation and making Vocational-Alignment a priority is critical for your overall well-being and career success.

     Research has shown that individuals who are aligned with their careers are more likely to experience higher levels of job satisfaction, engagement, and life satisfaction (Dik, Duffy, & Eldridge, 2009).

  • WEALTH: A fulfilling career can contribute to your financial well-being and provide you with the resources to pursue your passions and live a comfortable life.

     A study by the Federal Reserve Board found that individuals with higher job satisfaction tend to have greater financial stability and are more likely to achieve their financial goals (Cynamon & Fazzari, 2015).
