Career Change Maker | Career Clarity, Career Opportunities, Career Pivots, Burnout, Corporate Job, Income # 254: Things I Wish I Knew Before I Changed My Career (Lawyer To Entrepreneur)
In this episode:
In today’s episode of the Career Change Maker podcast, I share with you the things I wish I knew before I changed my career, from lawyer to entrepreneur. Fear of the unknown is normal, but you can’t let it hold you back. If I had listened to the voices of doubt in my head, I would not be where I am today.
I will talk you through my five top tips that you need to fully believe, fully commit to and fully embody to really help you on your way. You don’t have to know it all before you start your career change journey - listen to those who have gone before you and learn from them.
Summary:
What you will learn in this episode:
- It’s okay to change your career vision – you probably decided your career path when you were younger, of course your mindset, values and core beliefs will change, so your career can too.
- The importance of clarity around your decision to change your career – make sure you know what needs to be changed rather than change everything all at once.
- The most fundamental realisation in your tool kit – you are not your job! Identity crisis is normal: Who am I? Where am I going? What am I doing? Just remember that WHO you are and WHAT you do are separate entities.
Episode Notes:
As an award-winning certified executive and career coach, TEDx speaker, podcast host and former lawyer, I have seen way too many female professionals under selling themselves and settling for less in their careers. I am committed to equipping high achieving women with the tools and support to create careers that are both meaningful and impactful.
