How To Be The Best Version of Yourself
The Career Changers
02/28/24 • 24 min
Our guest today is Debi Kinney, a transformation and accountability coach. From health and wellness to lifestyle and business, she can guide anyone to reach their goals. She went through a major transformation at the age of 45, switching her 25-year career in hospitality to follow her passion and purpose to help others become the best version of themselves.
Today, we are going to talk about her career change and what we need to do to be the best version of ourselves.
Find your inspiration in three quotes:
- Career Change My identity was so wrapped up in my corporate facade and being in hospitality and events. It's what I built on for 20 years, 25 years of my life. A big challenge for me was identity and switching that corporate mindset.
I had a lot of imposter syndrome. Can I do this? Will people respect me? Do I know enough about what they're asking me about? - Becoming the Best Version of Ourselves We've all got room for improvement. None of us are at the very top of our game. Less than 1 percent of us are. Becoming the best version of yourself means celebrating who you are by growing into who you're meant to be.
- Finding Your Life Purpose/Getting clarity A fun thing to do is to ask your friends what are the top three things that they think when they think of you, what comes to mind. That can be so enlightening.
I actually did that about a year ago as part of a marketing exercise when I was going through a rebrand. And the things that people said back to me, some of them, I understood. And some of them, I was just like, wow, I'm really blown away by how people see me. So that's a really fun way to get that outside perspective.

What Is The Right Job For YOU?
The Career Changers
07/18/22 • 34 min
"For some people, rock bottom is a trampoline. It springs them up from the depths, back into the light, fueled by a decision never to experience that low again. Or to help make sure other people don't end up there either." I knew I had to share with others who were also struggling so I’m here to help you do the same - and this line from the book, Do Over, by Jon Acuff sums it up nicely.
Our guest today is Lindsay Gordon, career coach for analytically minded people, Forbes Next 1000 Honoree, and Author of the upcoming book "Right For YOU”.
Lindsay said “I hit career dissatisfaction rock bottom in 2014.
I was feeling disengaged and undervalued and couldn't shake my negative attitude. Turns out, my manager and colleagues calling me out was the kick in the butt I needed.
The problem is, I was hyper-focused on all the negative parts of my job. What I needed to do was understand why my current role wasn't a good fit for me and discover what would be a good fit.
By learning about myself and what I wanted, I could understand (and communicate) what would be a good fit.
I started doing any exercise I could find that would help me reflect on what was important to me and what I needed out of a job. I started finding the common threads between all the pieces of my background that felt all over the place (engineer, technical support, career, etc). I put together a framework and I emerged with direction, confidence, energy and a plan.
“My purpose in life is to structure people's thinking so they can make decisions and move forward to explore, experience, and live life. I see waffling about career decisions (sometimes for 10+ years!) as an unacceptable barrier to people doing what they want to do and feeling fully alive. It's absolutely exhausting to ask yourself the same questions over and over again and there's immense freedom when you are finally DECIDED in a way that feels good to you".

From Banking To Teaching Karate | Adam Sackett
The Career Changers
02/20/23 • 34 min
In this episode we're going to talk about career change with Adam Sackett who went from a two-decade career for large banks to opening and owning his own karate school.
Find your inspiration in three quotes:
- If your aim is to change career you need to have patience. Things aren't going to happen in one day or one week. Have a plan B and C. There is no such thing as wasting time, if you do something that can help you moving in the right direction. Have some money in the bank, because you still want to take care of your family.
- While working in banking I was waking up, having breakfast, going to work, come back home and repeat again the same day. I didn't feel I was having an impact on other people's lives. It has been a good career for financial stability and to learn many skills, like public speaking and presentations, that are helping me to run my karate school today successfully. But I have never really loved it.
- In 1999, I started teaching karate one night at week. Was that going to change my career at the time? No. But I really enjoyed it. Nothing really get me as excited as seeing a "light bulb moment". With teaching I feel that I am making a difference. What I would say to my younger self? Maybe you were not really made for the business world, yes you made some money, but teaching is really your thing and you should have started that earlier.
We'll discuss his career change and the wider challenges of career transition.

How To Grow A Side Hustle To Six Figures While Working Full-time And Raising A Family | Jasmine Katatikarn
The Career Changers
02/13/23 • 30 min
Our guest today is Jasmine Katatikarn, Creative Leader for a Fortune 100 company, mother of two, and co-founder/CEO of the Academy of Animated Art, an e-education company for 3D lighting artists that helps people land their dream jobs in major animation studios like DreamWorks and Sony.
Find your inspiration in three quotes:
- Looking back I knew that my passion was in creating things, because I can do it for hours, and time flies by. But it wasn't super clear to me when I was younger, that it could be more than a hobby. I remember leaving an interview for a banking firm and thinking "No, this isn't for me, but I wasn't sure what to do next".
- When I started the side hustle, it wasn't about money. It was more about creating something in parallel. The first year we didn't bring in much revenue. It took almost seven years to get it to six figures. And that happened when I started to develop different skills, like marketing and developing a framework. Automation has been key together with delegation.
- Often, we think that the goal is to quit your day job to work on your side hustle full time — and I used to think that, too. But now I see everything I do as an extension of myself and an opportunity, not a chore. I love my full-time job and I love my business, so I keep them both. They help me design my work life so that it fits me perfectly”.
Jasmine has previously worked on animated movies like the Ice Age films, Rio, and Spies in Disguise.
Today she is here to share her experience on how she grew her side hustle to six figures while working full-time and raising a family to explain how making time for side projects can help you find your purpose, even if you are incredibly busy.

How People and Businesses Can Thrive With The Shorter Working Week | Joe O’Connor
The Career Changers
02/06/23 • 27 min
Our guest today is Joe O’Connor, Director & Co-founder of the Work Time Reduction Centre, Ex CEO of 4 Day Week Global, founder of the 4 Day Week Ireland , and career changer himself.
Find your inspiration in 3 quotes:
- The reduced hours working week can be a great contribution towards gender equality. When I started working on the shorter working week, it emerged from a survey that many women with children were already working 4 days a week, but the responsibilities and expectations in their roles were unchanged.
- Parkinson's Law really holds true - and it means that a task will expand to fill the time it's available for its completion. The benefits of a shorter working week for employers are increased productivity, reduced burnt-out, and talent acquisition and retention. On the other side, employees can live healthier and more fulfilling lives and have more time to make choices that promote global sustainability.
- We have moved from a philosophical discussion about the 4 days working week to a logistic one - where today we are discussing how to make it work. And the catalyst for this change has been the pandemic - where the paradigm of the 5 days working week has been shifted.
Today Joe is going to talk about his career and how the 4 days working week can make the world a better place.
