Even though it's where you chose to be, maybe your values have changed, maybe your goals have shifted. It could be you like your role but something is missing somewhere, explore what is missing and make that change however big or small.It is not an overnight process but once you identify what's missing you can address it and transition into a role or career that is more satisfying and fulfilling. What you will learn:How to Identify the type of career change that is right for youThe power of exploring why you are are feeling frustrated in your careerThe impact the opinion of others have on you and how you can be more intentional about the influences you allow to guide your decisions. Other episodes you maybe interested in: Episode 108 – What Needs To Happen For You To Land An Ideal RoleEpisode 116: There Is No Place For Modesty In Your Job SearchEpisode 123: Knowing What To Do Is Not Enough To Land Your Ideal RoleTHIS EPISODE IS BOUGHT TO YOU BY THE CAREER CLARITY ACADEMYThis episode was brought to you by my signature program, the Career Clarity Academy.If you are looking for support with changing career direction, book a suitability call >> www.lightboxcoaching.com/academyWant to connect with others who are on a career change journey too?

In this episode I talk about how to leverage your existing experience to transition into a new role. Before you even think about moving career or finding a new job role you really need to dig deep and find out what's not working for you in your current career, and what would your ideal job or career look like. Once you have established that, don't make the same mistake a lot of people do. Avoid dismissing all the experience and transferable skills you have gained over the years with all the hard work you have put in. When you are looking to change career you can assume that starting at the bottom is required, but what about all the experience and skills you have gained,  are you overlooking them?

In today's episode I talk about the importance of separating your identity from the job that you do. One of the biggest obstacles that I encountered when transitioning from being a lawyer to a career / executive coach was the shift in identity that I was experiencing. I had worked long and hard to qualify as a lawyer and I realised that the title was way more significant that just a job title, which was causing major resistance to embarking on a change. What you will learn: Why it is important to mentally separate what you do from who you are. Powerful reframes that will open up your mind to more future career paths. How to avoid feelings of rejection during your job search. THIS EPISODE IS BOUGHT TO YOU BY THE CAREER CLARITY ACADEMYThis episode was brought to you by my signature program, the CAREER CLARITY ACADEMYIf you are looking for support with changing career direction, book a suitability call >> https://lightboxcoaching.lpages.co/career-clarity-academy-application-page-new/Want to connect with others who are on a career change journey too?

In this episode, I'm excited to share my interview with Jen Kantor who was one of my amazing clients who achieved big things recently. In our interview we discuss digging deep and asking yourself the question like "why you are feeling frustrated and stuck in your current job role or career?" "what are your personal values and are they aligned with your work values?". Sometimes there's a misalignment and that's where your fears disbeliefs and self doubt all comes into play resulting in you procrastinating.Jen talks about realising the misalignment and confronting it face on, finding that work-life balance and enjoying what she likes doing. And her results are outstanding in such a short timescale.We discus that the program has a friendly approach like family supporting each other. How important it is to know you are not alone on your journey you are among other people going through the same experience despite being in different parts of the world.Other episodes that you may also enjoy:Episode 108 – What Needs To Happen For You To Land An Ideal RoleEpisode 106 – Are You Sure You Are Seeking The Right Career Move?THIS EPISODE IS BOUGHT TO YOU BY THE CAREER CLARITY ACADEMYIf you are looking for support with changing career direction, book a suitability call >> www.lightboxcoaching.com/academyWant to connect with others who are on a career change journey too?
