Hate Your Job? New Organization Helps D.C. Residents Design Careers They Love

“So what do you do?”

In a city that puts so much emphasis on careers, it feels pretty terrible when you don’t love yours.

According to Gallup’s “State of the America Workforce” report, two-thirds of Americans are feeling disengaged at work. But for us working adults, there aren’t a lot of resources to help us make the necessary career change, and the whole process feels unclear and lonely.

At Mission Collaborative, we believe that there’s a better way to make career changes.

We’re a new organization here in D.C. that provides a framework and community to help you build a career you love. We host workshops and programs for career changers from all sorts of backgrounds to help them figure out exactly what they want to do next with their careers, then make it happen.

In the past year we’ve helped over 600 D.C. professionals start building careers they love. The in-person community we create gives participants motivation and accountability, while the career design process we teach provides a far better framework for determining your ideal next step. And we don’t just have people think about what they might like to do, we help them actually test out their potential career paths before making the shift.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
