Failure to Launch Syndrome: Overcoming a Lack of Clear Direction

failure to launch school work careerThere was probably a time in your life when you had a lack of a sense of direction. You had a general idea of what you wanted but needed that extra push to get there. Whether it was school, career, or even volunteer-wise, you knew what general direction you wanted to head but didn’t have an adviser or that extra support that you needed.

From my own personal experience, I was always a well-driven and motivated individual, but I sometimes felt lost and just needed that extra set of “hands on” advice to get me to where I wanted to be. I utilized my advisers and got myself involved as much as I could in different clubs and organizations at California State University, Northridge. I was a part of Delta Zeta sorority and served on the executive board, which helped enhance my people and leadership skills. I can say this opportunity dramatically enhanced my experience at the university by making it feel more like a home. This got me more involved in campus life for the four years that I attended.

Here at Optimum Performance Institute (OPI), we have highly qualified individuals in each department, including career/volunteer, education, and extra-curricular activities.
