In this episode:In today’s episode of the Career Change Maker podcast, I share with you some key takeaways I gleaned from Women Consulting Live, a 3 day conference that I recently attended.

In this episode:In today’s episode of the Career Change Maker podcast, I share with you my reflections from sunny Ibiza around perspective and why environment creates more career clarity. Our daily grind can make it challenging to break out of negative thought patterns that create self-doubt in what we do. These can manifest from random thoughts into full bodied beliefs; once it becomes a belief, it can make us operate differently.  You need to figure out what will help you to break the cycle, whether that’s a shift in environment, trying something new, or simply having a change of scene where you can organise your thoughts. Once you work out what you need to move forward in your career, there comes a sense of empowerment that you can have the courage of your convictions and lead a more aligned and intentional life.Summary:What you will learn in this episode:The importance of taking ownership of your ability to shift your mindset – figure out what you need in order to make that happen, commit and go for it.The realisation that you have the power to change your life - the decision is yours to make and although the choices in front of you may not be forever, you can choose what serves you in the now.How to be intentional about the results you want – learn to control the things you can control and allow yourself to be open to the things you can’t.Episode Notes:As an award-winning certified executive and career coach, TEDx speaker, podcast host and former lawyer, I have seen way too many female professionals under selling themselves and settling for less in their careers.
