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.

Making a change to your career doesn't necessarily mean burning down everything you have worked for to date and starting from scratch. In today's episode, I share:

• How to leverage your professional experience and skills when pursuing new career opportunities.
• How to reframe your existing expertise to align with new roles.
• The power of your network and professional relationships to uncover hidden opportunities.
• Practical approaches for gradual career change.
• A reframe that helps you see age and experience as an asset, not a barrier to navigating career transitions.

So many people feel frustrated and annoyed with themselves because they don’t know what they want from their career. In today's episode I share:

• This is completely normal! There are probably more people who DON'T know what they want than who do know.
• Embracing career uncertainty lets you embrace personal growth and change.
• The idea that people must have a singular passion to achieve career satisfaction is misleading.
• The notion that career clarity is an ongoing process that requires continuous reflection and adjustment based on our evolving circumstances and values
