In Episode 109, I tackle the most frequently asked questions about mid-career change, guiding listeners through the phases of Hope, Clarity, and Action. If you’re feeling uncertain about your current career or exploring the idea of a fresh start, this episode provides practical insights and reassurance.

Starting with Hope, I explore how to identify hidden strengths and transferable skills, reminding us that opportunities are possible at any stage. Through real-world examples, I highlight how professionals have transformed their careers by embracing new possibilities.

In the Clarity section, I share strategies to help you pinpoint what you truly want from your career. I introduce exercises from my new book, Mid-Career Change – A Guide for Hope, Clarity, and Action, to help you assess your “motivated skills” and experiment with new roles before making any big decisions.

Finally, in the Action phase, I offer tips on creating a 12-week transition plan to keep you organised and reduce the stress of career change. From building a financial buffer to gaining essential skills, I share steps to take so you can approach your new path with confidence.

This episode is packed with advice for anyone at a career crossroads. Join me as I explore what it takes to make a change, find your purpose, and take action toward a fulfilling new career!
