Today's question, the 100th coaching question of the day posted in a row so far, could look either very easy to reply or patronizing or even scary... and yet there's more to it if you are going to be open to it.
(like it is often the case with so many things, but I digress)
Talking about a "good job" is like dealing with an onion, there are many layers.
You could focus on how a "good job" could or should be defined.
You could focus on who should define what a "good job" is, whether yourself, others, you as a part of a group, some external reference system, a shared guideline...
[This kind of question can be like an onion...
Or like a litmus paper for your belief system]
You could focus on whether or not a "good job" would be enough for you, and whether or not we should then talk about a "great job", a "good to great job", or even just about a "better job".
You could focus on the short-term, mid-term, or long-term consequences of the job.
You could focus on where the boundaries of a "good job" lie: Is it just about a gig, or about an entire career, your life goals, a special mission... How about something private, or maybe your health or your finances?
You could focus on being sure about the quality of the job.
You could focus on... So many other things.
And if you never paid attention to all these elements before, it could be difficult to reply at all. Because this question is about you, your expectations, your belief system, your reference points, your standards.
Coaching question of the day:
