In this exclusive interview, she shares insights into her background, her unique approach to career transformation, and the transformative power of prayer.
1. Can you tell us a bit about your background and what led you to become a Certified Career Coach?
Dr. Taylor: My passion for helping others find career fulfillment stems from my own journey of struggling to find purpose in my professional life. I hold a degree in human resources and realized the profound impact mindset has on our careers. This led me to pursue additional training and certifications as a Certified Career Coach and as an REBT Mindset Life Coach to support individuals in their quest for meaningful and successful careers.
2. Your book title suggests a unique approach, combining REBT principles, positive psychology, and prayer. How do these components work together to transform careers?
Dr. Taylor: The combination of Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) principles, positive psychology, and prayer creates a powerful synergy. REBT helps individuals identify and challenge limiting beliefs, fostering a resilient mindset. Positive psychology emphasizes leveraging strengths and positive emotions for career fulfillment. Prayer connects individuals with higher guidance and deepens their sense of purpose. Together, these components transform mindsets, facilitate growth, and unlock career potential.
3. Could you give us an overview of your book, “Prayer WORxKs: Transform Your Mindset, Transform Your Career 31-Day Journal”?
Dr. Taylor: “Prayer WORxKs” is a transformative 31-day journal that guides readers on a journey of self-reflection, prayerful introspection, and intentional action. It contains prompts, reflections, and prayers designed to foster self-awareness, challenge self-limiting beliefs, and align career aspirations with personal values. The journal empowers readers to cultivate resilience, embrace positive psychology principles, and harness the power of prayer for career transformation.
4. Can you share some specific examples of prompts and exercises readers will find in the journal?
Dr. Taylor: Certainly! Readers will encounter prompts that explore core values, strengths, and passions. They will be guided to challenge self-limiting beliefs and replace them with affirming thoughts. Exercises prompt readers to set clear career intentions, create action plans, and reflect on their progress throughout the 31-day journey. Additionally, prayers and gratitude exercises foster spiritual connection and uplift the reader’s mindset.
5. Have you witnessed any success stories or received testimonials from individuals who have used the journal to transform their careers?
Dr. Taylor: Absolutely! I have had the privilege of witnessing incredible transformations among individuals who have used the principles described in the “Prayer WORxKs” journal. One client, feeling stuck in a dead-end job, used the principles to clarify their values, gain confidence, and pursue a career aligned with their passions. They landed a fulfilling job that not only matched their aspirations but also provided them with personal and professional growth opportunities.
6. How does prayer specifically contribute to career transformation?
Dr. Taylor: Prayer connects individuals with their higher selves and aligns them with a deeper sense of purpose. It provides guidance, inspiration, and solace during challenging times. Through prayer, individuals tap into their inner wisdom and gain clarity on their career path. It strengthens their mindset, boosts resilience, and opens doors to new opportunities. Prayer helps individuals navigate their careers with faith, intention, and gratitude.
7. In your experience, what are some common challenges people face in their career transformation journey?
Dr. Taylor: Common challenges include self-doubt, fear of change, and difficulty identifying one’s true passion. Many individuals struggle with limiting beliefs and negative self-talk that hinder their progress. Additionally, external pressures, such as societal expectations, can create barriers to pursuing meaningful careers. The “Prayer WORxKs” journal addresses these challenges by guiding individuals to overcome self-limiting beliefs, cultivate resilience, and align their careers with their authentic selves.
8. What advice do you have for individuals who are feeling stuck or dissatisfied in their current careers?
Dr. Taylor: My advice is to take a step back and engage in self-reflection. Explore your passions, values, and strengths. Challenge any limiting beliefs and replace them with empowering thoughts. Set clear intentions and take intentional action towards a career that aligns with your authentic self. Seek support from mentors, coaches, or resources like the “Prayer WORxKs” journal to navigate the journey with clarity and purpose.
