104. Setting yourself up for a career change

10/23/24 • 11 min

In Episode 104 of the podcast, I explore how to set yourself up for a successful career change, particularly if you're mid-career. Career transitions can be exciting, but without a clear plan, they can feel overwhelming.

First, treat your career change like a project. Break it into manageable tasks, like updating your LinkedIn profile, finding a mentor, and researching job opportunities. Create a dedicated space for your career change efforts, and keep your “why” statement visible—a concise reminder of your motivation to keep you focused.

Next, build a support team. A Career Change Buddy who’s either on a similar path or has already made a transition can provide guidance and encouragement. Also, involve your partner and family in the process to ensure their support.

Finally, persistence and determination are key. Adopt a Responsibility Mindset to take ownership of your career, a Possibility Mindset to stay open to new opportunities, and a Growth Mindset to embrace challenges as learning experiences.
