#54: How To Navigate Change And Transform Your Career

Do you know it's time to make a change in your career -- but aren't sure WHAT that looks like or HOW to get started?

Today we're talking about practical steps you can take to navigate a career crossroads.

I love this time of year when the Jacaranda trees are in bloom. It’s a sign of the changing seasons, as we transition from spring into another warm Australian summer. A time of change.

It’s also a reminder of where I was back in 2017.

Wandering through my local neighbourhood, noticing these bursts of beautiful purple flowers everywhere. Realising I’d lived in the area for a year and hadn’t ever taken a leisurely stroll around the block! 

Following weeks of deliberation, I’d just decided to close my business for 2 months. I’d reached another cycle of complete burn-out after years of working late nights, weekends and 60+ hour weeks. I was physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted and needed a break.

After a decade of repeating this cycle, I needed to make significant changes. This ultimately led to me overhauling my lifestyle, changing my business model and pivoting my career.

My story demonstrates that extreme change is sometimes necessary to make a shift and begin creating the life and work we truly want. But it doesn’t have to be this way for YOU.

We’re now in a time where the pace of change is accelerating -- in the workplace and with AI. I used to resist change and try to control it. Now, I embrace it.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing 5 simple, actionable tips to help you successfully navigate change and transform your own career.

You'll learn:
