In this episode I discuss how to be more confident in your career change decisions.
All too often I see people waiting... and waiting... until they have a clear idea about what it is they want to do before they take any action.
How can you approach this in a way that’s going to keep you moving forward, rather than staying stuck?
I want you to have confidence!
If you've been trying to figure out your next move for ages, going around in circles, asking yourself, friends or colleagues what you should do next; the missing piece of the puzzle is within grasp.
I want to encourage you to ask, ‘What do I need in order for me to feel happy and fulfilled in a role?’, rather than ‘What is the next role that I'm going to go for?’.
You made some decisions to get to the place you are now. Just because you are no longer happy with the results of your decisions, does not mean that you will make the same mistake again. You’ve changed as a person and it’s time to take action.
Trust your ability.
What you will learn:
• The importance of defining your needs when it comes to your next role
• Where confidence comes from
• How to use your confidence to make informed decisions and further your career

In this episode I talk about why you need to stop counting yourself out of opportunities.
When we are looking for a new career or job role we often count ourselves out and we start saying "I don't have all the relevant skills required for the role, I don't have the experience to apply for the position. I think the job will be too hard and I think I might have to go back and restudy at university."
But what if you switched your perspective and really took some time out to fully understand the role, what was required, who is well suited to the position and do an audit.
Over the years you have gained so much experiences. You don't necessary have to have the exact requirements for the role if you can demonstrate and articulate that you will bring value to the company through the skills and experiences you have gained, you have a good chance of landing the role.
It's also about identifying what you want, planning when to make the move and not just jumping at the first role that is available, you need to be strategic, placing yourself in environments, communities and surrounding yourself with people who are on the same journey in order to attract and land opportunities.
What you will learn

• How to identify what the right role for you looks like
• The power of packaging your skills and experiences
• Why identifying your skills gaps can be very useful
