Understanding your job satisfaction and career satisfaction are important keys to success. Can we define the two within an organization and our specific role? The answer is yes.

What is the difference between career contentment and job satisfaction?

A career can be defined as our occupational progress through our lifetime. It includes a pattern of work-related experiences and activities, such as job positions, duties, decisions, and our subjective interpretations about work-related events.

Kenneth James’ personal story reads like a script from an inspirational biographical drama. 

Fifteen years ago, his job as a sales rep came to a halt because the company relocated. While looking for a new local opportunity, Kenneth submitted his resume to a Jacksonville, Florida-based Fortune 250 firm, and he went to an open-call style interview even though he wasn’t even sure what the position would be. 

And just like that, we’re already through the first month of 2021. Time certainly flies when you’re focused on your studies and other life responsibilities. As we head into February, we’re reminded that it’s never too late to set new goals and work toward achieving them. This month’s UAGC #TenacityMade superstars are doing just that!

If you’re looking for a little motivation to get past your own hurdles and reach your personal and professional goals, read these tales of triumph and get ready to keep pushing forward this year.

It’s hard to believe, but we’re more than halfway through the summer of 2020. Although it has been different than any of us likely can recall and perhaps is one of the most challenging you have faced, you continue to push forward in the face of adversity. This month’s #TenacityMade superstars demonstrate that whether it’s health complications, work/life balance challenges, COVID-19, or anything in between, they are standing strong and pushing on to reach their goals. 

Summer is here, and with this time of year comes the call of the BBQs, beach waves, and poolsides. It’s easy to get distracted with all the fun activities beckoning. But this month’s #TenacityMade superstars know that whether it’s the seasonal celebrations or life’s many responsibilities and challenges, it is possible to keep pushing forward, even when those summer nights by the fire pit or work deadlines and family obligations are calling you.
