Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Career Podcasts! Please note: This is an updated re-release of Episode #197. “What you want to understand is that before you leap you need to take action to address what is making you so miserable. If you don't do that, you are going to wake up two years later in the new career and you're going to be having the same problems.” – Kathy Caprino  I'm very excited to share this solo episode which is my “Editor's Choice” for this week - one of the most downloaded episodes over the six years of producing this podcast. Today's show shares important content and advice for professionals from all levels and industries who are ready to make an important career shift but want guidance on how to do it successfully, reducing risk and wasted time. In this episode, I share what I've seen are the 5 biggest blunders career changers make, and I have to admit that I have made each one of these mistakes myself, which is why I can speak to how easily they can happen if we're not aware of them and or we're not making the right decisions and choices. These blunders are costly, painful and take a tremendous toll on your self-esteem, confidence, and your hopes and visions for the future. And they can hurt your finances, personal relationships, mental and physical health and more. But there is a way to avoid these career change mistakes, and it starts with remembering that you are an amazing individual with many important gifts, talents and capabilities to share and gaining clarity on exactly what those are. The question is how to get on the path to leveraging these talents and abilities in new ways that authentically fit with who you really are, and what you want for your life, and for your family and your livelihood. Listen in for a full look at how to avoid the 5 biggest career change blunders and stay to the end as I reveal the 5 essential steps to take when you want change of any kind, in your career and in any area of your life. As always, thank you for listening, and please let me know if the information I share today helps you navigate these particularly challenging and ever-changing times we find ourselves in right now.   Highlights from this Episode: What is “The Pendulum Effect” that creates havoc in our careers, and examples of the ways that I and others have suffered from it [4:20] Why I believe that this is such a common mistake people make, and what to understand before you decide to make a career change [7:50] Why it's essential to have sound financial transition plan in place before you pivot or change careers [10:50] How having a firm understanding of (and physically “trying on”) the actual work and tasks you'll be engaged in in the new career will benefit you in the long run [12:30] Why doing functional tasks and work you enjoy is not enough to bring you career happiness and success if you can't support the strategies, tactics and values of your company and work culture [15:10] Examples of times that I didn't “dig deep enough” to understand what I really wanted and needed in my own career, and why I want you to avoid this costly blunder [16:46] How the trap of believing that success will be instant and automatic for you will be detrimental to you and your career journey [22:47] A powerful 5-step process to engage in if you wish to make any type of significant change in your career (and life) [27:27] For More Information: https://kathycaprino.com/ and https://kathycaprino.com/career-help https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathycaprino https://www.facebook.com/ElliaCommunications https://twitter.com/kathycaprino https://www.instagram.com/kathycaprino/   Resources Mentioned: Kathy's Career Path Self-Assessment survey   AND COMING SOON!

I promise you it will allow you to be a stronger, more energetic match to the better thing that you want.” [09:30] “If you are not behind the strategies, tactics, and outcomes that your company is putting out, then you're not going to be happy, even if you're doing functional work that you like.” [15:43] “You've got to dig deep to look at what you really want and need in your career. Will it make you the money you want, and will this full-time professional directly be what you want, or would it serve better as a hobby?” [20:21] “What I see is that people are often not putting in the work. They're giving up too quickly. You're not going to have the success that you want if you just throw in the towel when it gets hard.” [24:04] “Plan for a commitment to making a change, and don't underestimate that it will take time, money, and energy.” [27:06] “Get that empowered perspective before you try to move forward because if you're coming from a place of disempowerment, the whole process isn't going to go well.” [29:16]   Watch video versions of my interviews on Finding Brave!

If your company offers tuition assistance to pursue a degree, you can start making your career switch NOW while you're at your current job. This is what Weavy Garcia did when he decided to diversify from IT.  Getting his MBA through his employer was an opportunity to learn about business, get his master's, and switch into sales, a more lucrative option for him. In this episode, Weavy tells us what it was like to work full-time during the day and take classes at night to earn his degree. Spoiler alert: it was tough, but it was worth it for his career switch. His MBA, along with his IT experience, have helped him secure his future by always being employable, whether in IT, sales, or both. He now has the flexibility and diversification he was looking for.

In last week's episode with Duncan he spoke about the connection between his work and his personal values.  Values have come up a lot over the last few weeks in my life so I thought this might be a great time to share an exercise you can do identify your personal values!In this episode, I walk you through a values exercise...1) Over a week, write down (draw, vision, journal, post it, whatever!) words, behaviors, phrases that best identify you at your core, your true self.2) Find 3-5 themes from everything you captured.3) Ask trusted others what words they would use to describe you.4) Think about a time when you felt you were at your best and when you were not.  How do those themes overlap with those times.  Often the right values describe you at your best, and they were missing when you were at your worst.5) Put it all together :). Pick words, phrases, something simple for each value that mean something to you!Now you can use those values to help guide your life and your work.  Help you make decisions, help you prioritize, help create goals and communicate with others.  What can you be doing differently to live your life aligned with your values?  How does your work & career align with your values?  What is one thing you can do more of because it IS aligned?  And what is one thing you can do differently to better align with your values?As always, please consider subscribing, leaving a rating and review and sharing this podcast and the whole series with others.  We do this podcast to help spread the word that everyone can get unstuck and find the thing that brings them joy in their careers.  If our guests can do it, you can too!  Check out our Facebook page: Career Changers or follow me on Instagram (career_changers_kdw) or Twitter (career_changers) for more tips or connect with me so we can find a the right career for you!Welcome to the Shine at Work Podcast!

In last week's episode with Brittany, she talked about how at one point she thought she found her "dream" job but it still wasn't making her happy.   She had to take a step back and figure out what was not aligned for her, her values and what was going to really bring her joy in her role.This is common with the folks I talk to - you think you have figured it all out but when you get there you aren't loving it.  Instead of running away from a job you aren't enjoying, I challenge you to take some time to reflect what you actually don't enjoy about your current situation.  Is it...1) The company or the culture?2) Is it your manager or your team?3) Is it the actual role and day to day responsibilities?Once you have figured that out, then you can figure out what you need/want to change in the next job.  And you will be running towards something amazing, not just away from a job you aren't enjoying today?   Need a little more help with this, check out this worksheet that I use with my coachees to help them dig a little deeper in these areas!As always, please consider subscribing, leaving a rating and review and sharing this podcast and the whole series with others.  We do this podcast to help spread the word that everyone can get unstuck and find the thing that brings them joy in their careers.  If our guests can do it, you can too!  Check out our Facebook page: Career Changers or follow me on Instagram (career_changers_kdw) or Twitter (career_changers) for more tips or connect with me so we can find a the right career for you!Welcome to the Shine at Work Podcast!

In last week's episode with Danielle, she mapped out how she made the move from accounting to internal communications through freelancing and starting to write on the side.  This allowed her to build a portfolio and brand as a writer that she could then present to jobs when she was ready to make the move. This is one of the key elements of getting UNSTUCK!   So in this mini-episode the challenges I lay out are...1) What is one thing can start doing on your own that represents the new career you want to move into?2) Then how can you start doing it casually for others?3) Finally, how can you do it as a freelancer or part time to start building credibility and experiences you can share with future employers.I use event planning in the episode, but whatever becoming a teacher?  You start by helping teach (especially remote learning) kids in your family, then maybe you offer to volunteer to help at a school or a non-profit for kids whose parents can't help them with their school work, then finally you sign up to be a substitute teacher or a tutor.   It all builds to a great list of experiences as a teacher without ever having to take that leap to leave your current job until you are ready.As always, please consider subscribing, leaving a rating and review and sharing this podcast and the whole series with others.  We do this podcast to help spread the word that everyone can get unstuck and find the thing that brings them joy in their careers.  If our guests can do it, you can too!  Check out our Facebook page: Career Changers or follow me on Instagram (career_changers_kdw) or Twitter (career_changers) for more tips or connect with me so we can find a the right career for you!Welcome to the Shine at Work Podcast!
