Description

Leaving a safe career can feel like a massive risk - but have you ever considered the risks of NOT switching? If you’re on the edge of a career change, or in the early stages, these psychology hacks will make life a lot easier for you.

In this episode of The Switch from St. James’s Place Financial Adviser Academy, host Gee Foottit speaks to Rory Sutherland, expert in marketing and human behaviour. He’s an author, columnist and Vice Chairman of the Ogilvy advertising company.

From harnessing the power of luck and chance, to using behavioural techniques to win clients and stand out, Rory offers a masterclass in achieving business success.

Together they explore:

➡︎ Why we overestimate the risks of career change, but underestimate the risks of staying stuck

➡︎ How to think in bets, reframe uncertainty, and make smarter decisions

➡︎ The hidden power of lucky accidents - and how to engineer more of them

➡︎ Why autonomy and flexibility often matter more than salary

➡︎ Why you should ‘always invert’ - a behavioural hack to make better choices
