Last month, I quit my job and joined The Great Resignation. Now when I first heard about this movement, I honestly had no intention of leaving my job. I completely understand why people were leaving their jobs and as a Career Coach, I helped many of my clients through it. However, I never anticipated leaving my own job that I loved so much. But like everything in the world, the only thing in these times is unpredictable. In this podcast episode, I break down why I decided to join the Great Resignation including:  My thought process behind needing a career change at this stage n my life The "timing" of it and the taking advantage of "The Great Re-Shuffle" Reevaluating my true priorities in life For once in my life, this decision was purely based on the future version of myself and what the future holds for my career. I was not unhappy in my career, but I have learned to be proactive in what I need in the future. If you're thinking about joining The Great Resignation, this is the episode for you!

If you’re a high achiever, you are probably really good at getting things done, that’s why you got really good grades, got into great universities, and landed good jobs. However, as you embark on new challenges, like advancing your career without a set schedule, taking on additional courses on top of balancing adulthood, or starting a side business alongside a full-time job, planning gets more and more difficult. There is no “perfect” way to do it because everyone’s life and goals are different, but this is especially for high achievers because we are so used to excelling in ways that other people can’t. It can be so easy to wear “busy” as a badge of honour because especially as a high achiever, you might also have a sense of impostor syndrome and fear you don’t live up to the expectations of others or yourself. This combination of being a high achiever, always being busy, and impostor syndrome leads to a lot of planning mistakes which ultimately leads to….  Extreme stress as you try to cope with your overwhelming schedule Beating yourself up because you can’t live up to your commitments Irritability as you put your health and relationships on the back burner And ultimately burnout. That’s why today, I want to talk to you about the 4 planning mistakes every high achiever makes (including me!) and the solution that has greatly helped me. Press play to get started!

Who doesn’t love a good hack? Not me. I’m the queen of efficiency so I love finding ways to hack my time, my money, and at one point in my life, my career. While it might be tempting to try to find the next “career hack”, it could actually be holding you back in your career and hurting in the long run.  One of the biggest life lessons I’ve learned in my personal growth is that if you shortcut your way through personal development … it will catch up with you in the long run.  It’s easy to want to rush your way to career success, but I firmly believe that your career spans a lifetime, and it’s a journey filled with obstacles and successes the whole way through.  And so while it might be tempting to just rely on resume hacks, or interview hacks your whole career life … eventually they will run dry. In order to be successful in your career in the long run, you will need more than a hack, and at that point, the stakes are much higher.  So that’s why today I’m going to be talking about how career hacks can actually damage your career and what to focus on instead.    SHOWNOTES:  How Career Hacks Are Actually Damaging Your Career Looking for more help?

Career planning is difficult enough. Career planning with other people’s opinions and society expectations…can feel impossible.  When it comes to decision-making, it can be easy to crowdsource opinions. As high achievers and perfectionists, this can be additionally difficult because not only are we looking for more information voice; we are looking for validation.  A common obstacle for young adults when choosing a career path can be disappointing their parents. And I was very lucky in this department. My parents have always been extremely supportive of all my career choices, even when my choice was to work temporary jobs to travel the world.  I, however, have felt a lot of pressure from many other sources including strangers, acquaintances, friends, and society as a whole. Before we start, I want to talk about the underlying current of why criticism is hurtful. Criticism is hurtful because we either have insecurity about it or believe that a part of it is true. When we feel hurt by criticism or our career choices, it's usually because it touches upon an underlying doubt that we have internalized. And having doubt is not shameful. I don't you to read or listen to this and think all you have to do is "ignore what other people think" and "think positively." It is not something we have to be shameful about ourselves but it's important to manage in order to not hinder our careers.

Over the past decade, I have changed careers MANY times (actually, too many to talk about in one podcast episode) And as a Career Mindset Coach, I talk about and help people through a career change a lot.  However, when it comes to career change, it can feel really overwhelming and daunting to even consider when it is the “right time” to change careers and if it’s for the correct reasons... When is it time to change careers?  Career change is difficult for everyone. However, it can be particularly difficult if you are a people pleaser or overthinker. Whether you are looking to change careers in your 30s, 40s, or even 50s, I firmly believe it's never too late. That’s why in this episode I outline my 5 career changes in the last decade and how to change careers in different situations including:  When you love the idea of the career more than the actual job. How to navigate career change when you have fears on the unknown When a career path does not make the impact that you thought it would How to choose a career path that is different from what your parents wanted for you and so much more!  While everyone's career path and changes will look different, I wanted to provide some insight into the 5 careers I loved and left. Although your situation may be different, the doubts and fear of career change are universal.  So, if you are struggling with self-doubt, fear, and overthinking your career change, make sure to press play.  While career change can seem scary at the moment, once you master the ability to overcome that fear and learn how to confidently market yourself, it becomes easier. If you are ready to take the next step at mastering this lifelong skill, make sure to book your free Career Clarity Call to figure out what is holding you back in your career change and how I can help you to change into your dream career.
