You’re not miserable, not exactly. But you’re also not thriving. Maybe you notice the Sunday evening blues more often. Maybe it's a tightness in your chest you can’t quite explain. And then there’s this question emerging in the back of your mind:“Is this still the right path for me?”As a leader in the public sector, you're not afraid of hard work. You've weathered crises, shown up with resilience, and stayed committed to making a difference.You’ve thought: “maybe it’s just a busy season” or “things will settle down.” But deep down, you suspect this isn’t temporary.And here's the trickiest part: everything still looks good on the outside. Stable job. Important mission. Great colleagues. But somehow you have this feeling that you’ve outgrown something. Or that your values have shifted or mean something different to you now. That maybe, just maybe, it’s time for a new chapter.So what if, without realizing it, you’re staying in a situation that’s no longer good for you? What if the very structure you rely on for purpose, security, or loyalty is also what's limiting you?If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. In this episode, I want to share a metaphor that might help you understand what’s going on, and what to do about it.It’s not about jumping ship. It’s about tuning in: to yourself, your assumptions, and the signals your life is sending.Let’s explore 4 ways staying where you are might be costing you more than you think.***Yvonne Davidis helps Leaders in the Public Sector explore and develop exciting career options that align with who they are now and how they want to evolve in future.
