“What you want to understand is that before you leap you need to take action to address what is making you so miserable. If you don’t do that, you are going to wake up two years later in the new career and you’re going to be having the same problems.” - Kathy Caprino

I haven’t released a solo episode on the podcast in some time, but I want to take this opportunity today to talk about something that is so relevant for the people I speak with each day in the career coaching and training work that I do. In this episode, I share the 5 biggest blunders career changers make, and I have to admit that I have made each one of these mistakes myself, which is why I can speak to how easily they can happen if we’re not aware of them and making the right decisions and choices.

These blunders are costly and take a tremendous toll on your self-esteem, confidence, and your hopes and visions for the future. But there is a way to avoid these career change mistakes, and it starts with remembering that you are an amazing individual with so many important gifts, talents and capabilities to share. The question is how to get on the path to leveraging these talents and abilities in ways that are going to authentically fit who you really are, and what you want for your life, your family and your livelihood.

Listen in for a full look at the 5 biggest career change blunders and stay to the end as I reveal the 5 essential steps to take when you want change of any kind, in your career and in any area of your life.
