Description

Often when my clients hear about a friend/colleague who has made a change to their career, they say "I wish I could be as brave as X". In today's episode of The Career Confidence Podcast, I am talking about:

  • The myth that those who successfully change careers are inherently braver than others is completely misleading.
  • Career changes often stem from a tipping point where individuals can no longer tolerate their current situation.
  • Staying in a job that doesn't fulfil you requires its own form of courage, as it can be emotionally exhausting and draining.
  • Taking small, manageable steps towards a career change is more effective than waiting for a moment of exceptional bravery.
  • Recognising and utilising personal strengths and resources can facilitate a successful transition, making it more accessible than you might think.
