In this episode I discuss why wanting more for your career is not a bad thing. I also share the story of a client I spoke to recently who was experiencing self-doubt and guilt about going for a role in a different department at the same company. Perhaps you worry about what other people might think about your career choices. Whether it’s a boss, colleague, a friend or family member, other people’s opinions can easily impact the decisions we make and inadvertently cause us to choose a different path. When you are thinking about your career, I want you to remember it’s a two way thing. You are ..read more

In this episode I discuss the cost of settling in your career. A recent Gallup survey revealed that 85% of people weren’t happy in their jobs. 85%! Does this surprise you? Perhaps you are one of the 85%. Have you been venting how you feel frustrated and undervalued during discussions with the people close to you but not taking action? I want you to recognise that this is something that you can change. The fear of failure when it comes to making a career move is all too real, but essentially, you have two outcomes. You either win, or you learn. Both of these outcomes will strengthen your abili ..read more

In this episode I discuss how to be more confident in your career change decisions. All too often I see people waiting… and waiting… until they have a clear idea about what it is they want to do before they take any action. How can you approach this in a way that’s going to keep you moving forward, rather than staying stuck? I want you to have confidence! If you’ve been trying to figure out your next move for ages, going around in circles, asking yourself, friends or colleagues what you should do next; the missing piece of the puzzle is within grasp. I want to encourage you to ask, ‘What do I ..read more

In this episode, I discuss why you shouldn’t wait until it’s too late to make a career move. I want you to have choices… I see too many people waiting for the ‘right time’ to make a career move. And let me share with you – there is never a right time… only now. If this is you, I would imagine it will take something big to be the catalyst for your change, perhaps redundancy or restructuring within your organisation. The problem is, if you wait until then, there will be such a sense of urgency to you making a move that you’re not going to have the head space to consider what is going to be the ..read more

In this episode, we go behind the scenes and I introduce you to the Career Change Maker Method. The Career Change Maker Method is the methodology that underpins the work I do within my signature program and with my clients on a one-to-one basis. When you can produce consistency of results, it is incredibly powerful and the processes and systems I have created within this method produce exactly this. In this episode, I discuss the four phases to the unique framework that underpins my coaching, training and speaking services: 1.       Self-leadership This is often ..read more

In this episode, I discuss how you can make a career change without changing your income. This comes up time and again when I’m speaking with people about making a career move. They tell me that they’d love to change roles or careers, but the problem is that they just can’t afford to take a pay cut. I get that. You’ve worked hard to get to where you are. It’s likely you’ve built a lifestyle to match that income and you may be the primary breadwinner in your family. But let me share with you a secret: Career change does not have to equate to a pay cut! In this episode, I discuss why this is an ..read more

In this episode I talk about how to leverage your existing experience to transition into a new role. So, you know you want to make a career move. But what next? Most of our minds jump to thinking about what training, degree, course or programme we could take to make ourselves feel better equipped. I see this happen all the time, but ask yourself – will that training course or degree equip you to do exactly what it is you want to do next? Too often the answer is ‘no’, because you’re still feeling confused about what it is exactly that you want to do. A course or degree can seem like an easy op ..read more

In this episode, I discuss the identify shifts that must happen if you want to make a career change. It’s so important to separate two things – who you are and what you do. These two things can start to blur into one along your journey. After all, when someone asks you about yourself, it’s likely you mention your job role. When you are identifying yourself as that person and you’re really rooted in what you do, there’s a problem when you decide that you no longer want to do that, you go for a promotion (hello, imposter syndrome!) go on maternity leave, or take a career break. In this situatio ..read more
