The 4 Steps to Lasting Career Change (and What Most People Get Wrong)
About the episode
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Holistic career design requires you to look at how you want your entire life to look rather than just focusing on career progression and moving up the ladder.
- You need to lift up the hood to understand your sabotage archetype and figure out why you flip-flop between going 110 miles per hour and experiencing total burnout.
- Doing deep values alignment anchors your choices and stops you from making decisions where you are just blown in the wind.
- Prototyping and stress testing a new path means you must start taking action by having conversations and identifying the specific skills gaps or certifications you are missing.
