What if the career you've built isn't the one you want to keep?

Whether you're a senior leader questioning the cost of success, or a professional at any stage sensing you've outgrown the path mapped, this book is your roadmap to Uptick what comes next.

A career pivot isn't about throwing everything away; it's about harnessing your transferrable skills, experience, knowledge and credibility to create an uptick, a new, planned direction built on what came before, one which aligns more with who you are today.

With practical exercises, honest stories, and strategies that take you from reflection to action, this book will help you find clarity, overcome fear, plan your finances, embrace change and build a confident future that balances fulfilment with freedom.

If you've ever wondered 'Is this it?'–here's your answer: it doesn't have to be!

What I love about this book is that it actually lays out the ‘how’ to make a career change.
There are plenty of motivational books out there but I’ve found few that lay out the practical steps to making it happen. For someone that’s been thinking about a career change for a while, I now feel much clearer on my path ahead. Well worth a read if you’re lacking clarity about your future career

If you’re considering a big career change this is for you

As someone who rarely reads books, audiobooks/podcasts are a great way for me to process them. This book feels authentic from the start, setting realistic and achievable targets for the listener/reader but doesn’t feel too overwhelming. This book helped me process things a lot easier by slowly changing my mindset when having intrusive thoughts and it also showed me that these thoughts are normal it’s just how we deal with them. I would recommend this book to someone who is looking for a change within their career, whether that be within the same or different industry. The book targets all job titles and definitely prepares you for your next Uptick not only in your working life but in your personal life too! There are many great takeaways from the book but this quote in particular really resonated with me because for me it’s saying we don’t always have to feel confident before we act. Sometimes, acting first creates confidence.

“The moment you start taking action, your self-image begins to move upwards. You go from thinking of yourself as someone stuck in uncertainty to someone in motion.”

Authentic and realistic
