We're breaking down a difficult topic which is all about how to resign from your job with grace and gratitude. I've recently had conversations with a handful of job changers.

On today's episode of the Career Clarity Show, our guest host and Career Clarity coach Kelley Shields is here to dig deep into an idea that has become so commonplace that you probably haven't stopped to think about what it really means for a while - work life balance. More specifically, we're gonna be exploring why that idea is actually a myth.  Now, just to be clear, no one here is saying that you shouldn't care about having time for your life outside of your work. Here at Career Clarity, we know that balance is so important. So much so that Lifestyle is one of our four pillars of Career Clarity that you can use to help you navigate your career decisions.  But is there actually such a thing as work life balance?

How do you stay mindful and centered when you are navigating a career change process that is inherently emotional, scary, uncertain, and nerve racking through all the different steps? This is the topic we're discussing today on the Career Clarity Show. So often when we talk about the process of making a change, I'll refer to certain activities and certain behaviors that are generally going to set you up for success. That said - the smartest among us can get derailed or pulled off track in executing on the best practices, when emotionality and other factors come into play.  That is why I am so excited for today's guest because we are going to be talking all about how to recenter, reground yourself when you get pulled off track.

We're going to talk about a topic that is top of mind for anybody who is navigating a career change - the job search. There's such a meaningful difference between the part of your journey where you're getting clear on what it is that you'd like to do, such as using the four pillars of Career Clarity methodology to come up with the ideas that feel most aligned with your values and your needs and your preferences in this season of life. And then actually being able to step into jobs like that.  If you have been wondering or worrying about how you're going to pull off an effective job search as a career changer, this episode is definitely for you.

For full show notes, go to GetCareerClarity.com/Episode138. On our first new episode of the Career Clarity Show for 2022, we are talking about intentionality in your career and your choices. This can be a tricky topic for folks who are in the midst of navigating uncertainty, change, wonders and worries. If you're listening to this podcast as someone who's contemplating a career change, you might be thinking to yourself that the only thing you are certain and intentional about is leaving and making a move.  I am delighted to bring on a dear friend of mine, recruiter and coach Angie Lindsey. Angie has dedicated the last two decades of her career to helping companies build great teams through exceptional recruitment strategies, as well as helping individuals achieve their career goals. Angie and I are going to explore the concept of intentionality. What is it? What does it mean? How can it show up in your life when you are uncertain? How does it create more certainty? And how can you use it as a guiding principle to think about what might be next for you in a way that feels aligned with your values and your needs and your life?  Show Notes Linsey Careers Twitter: @LinseyCareers LinkedIn: Angee Linsey Roadmap to a Fulfilling Career eBook

For full show notes, go to GetCareerClarity.com/Episode135. Today on the Career Clarity Show, we are discussing a topic that so many of us can identify and resonate with - burnout. Many times, burnout almost becomes synonymous with the experience of doing work. It is simply what work is. We begin to think that work isn't supposed to be fun, that it's supposed to be hard work with a furrowed brow or you just put your shoulder down and plow through.  But for so many Career Clarity seekers out there, this is a kind of a reality for work that we're unwilling to accept as the forever truth. Feeling burnout does not lead to fulfillment, it does not lead to sustainability. So if you are feeling like you might be sliding into a period of burnout, or maybe you are definitely in the thick of burnout. You're likely wondering “How do I get out of this? How do I recover? What do I do? How do I possibly summon up any more energy? Because I feel like I'm so exhausted and drained already.” This episode of the podcast is going to be a fabulous resource for you.  Kim Irving is a burnout expert joining us to share all things about sustainable success. She is an executive success coach helping high achieving women permanently end overwhelm and burnout without sacrificing their success so they can create their most intentional, meaningful life, personally and professionally. And be sure to look back with no regrets.  Show Notes: Kim Irving LinkedIn: Kim Irving Instagram: @KimIrvingCoaching Facebook: Kim Irving Roadmap to a Fulfilling Career eBook

For full show notes, go to GetCareerClarity.com/Episode134. Welcome back to Career Clarity Coach Jenn Smith! Jenn and I are talking about something that we don't often talk about on the Career Clarity Show - self employment. So often, we are thinking about how to help people make a move from one corporate opportunity to another one, how to go from one day job to another day job.  But there is another way to create a career for yourself. It's one that I devoted a measly single chapter to in the Career Clarity Show book, but is a whole different future and life. And that is playing with the world of freelance and entrepreneurship. Jenn and I will be diving into questions like how to gain traction, the reality of being an entrepreneur, and more.  Show Notes: Learn more about Jenn (and apply to work with her!) in her coaching profile Episode 20: The guide to creating a tenacity-driven career with Jenn Smith Episode 40: Monitoring and Managing Your Energy at Work with Career Clarity coach Jenn Smith Episode 54: Mastering the Top 5 Mental and Motivational Habits with Career Clarity certified coach Jenn Smith Episode 87: Tactical Tips for Marketing Yourself with Jenn Smith Episode 106: Practical Tips To Make Your Career Change Happen with Jenn Smith Episode 117: A Career Clarity Show Takeover with Career Clarity Coaches Jenn Smith and Kelley Shields Connect with Jenn on LinkedIn Follow Jenn on Instagram at @flourish.careers Roadmap to a Fulfilling Career eBook

For full show notes, go to GetCareerClarity.com/Episode132. A common topic that so many people have when they're going through a career transition is around “How do I tell my story?” For so many people who are wanting to do something new and something different, they have been thinking, “I don't know what I want to do, but it's not this.” We can often feel trapped by our past experiences, and specifically our past professional work experiences. That can make it feel difficult to tell the story of who we are beyond the job titles we've most recently had.  Today's guest expert is here to share all things elevator pitch is Rachel Garrett, an ICF certified career coach who believes that people have the power to take command of their careers and their lives with the choices they make.

For full show notes, go to GetCareerClarity.com/Episode131. One topic that we have not talked about often, maybe ever, on the Career Clarity Show is navigating, trying to get into or get out of the government sector of jobs. Now, this is an area that is near and dear to my heart, because I spent the first part of my career and launched this business back when I was living and working in the Washington DC area. And when you are living in that part of the country in the United States you are going to meet lots of people who are federal employees. Then again when I moved out to Colorado, I found that I was still meeting lots of folks who are working in local and state government in different capacities, and some who are wanting out. And other people who are really wanting to feel like they were having a deeper impact in their careers, but who are currently in the private sector, who were looking for ways in.  Navigating your way into or out of government as an employment source is tricky. It does not look like any of the things that you have learned if you have been exclusively job searching in the private sector. Or if you have been in government for your entire career, making the pivot back to civilian life is going to look really different in terms of how you talk about yourself, how you position yourself and what activities you do.  I am so excited to have Elyse Levine, host of the Career Switch Podcast, to help me dig into all of this information. A serial career switcher herself, Elyse has worked at storied institutions, including the FBI and Disney in roles spanning social media strategy, project management, human resources, board governance and professional speech writing.  Show Notes: Career Switch Podcast LinkedIn: Career Switch Podcast Instagram: @careerswitchpodcast Roadmap to a Fulfilling Career eBook

On this episode of the Career Clarity Show, we are taking a a different direction than what you might hear when you listen to traditional career advice. So often, the people who rise to fame in the coaching world will be people who are peddling advice like “Just push through. No matter what, you can do it”. And while there are probably nuggets of truth in those pieces of advice, it can perpetuate oppressive and micro aggressive advice when so often in our situations in our lives, what we really need is for someone to truly see our circumstances and our situation.  This is especially true if you belong to an underrepresented group that's been historically excluded. Being aware of systems of oppression that affect you may not be as visible to folks who don't belong to the same identities in the same circumstances that you do. Chyrsta Berry, speaker and authors, is here to share some refreshing career advice. We are going to talk about how to believe in yourself. Not in spite of your circumstances, but considering your circumstances and who you are, and how that creates a unique situation that you can still thrive from.  Show Notes: Live and Love Work LinkedIn: Chrysta Bairre Roadmap to a Fulfilling Career eBook

Specifically, the million dollar question: Should I stay or should I go?  Guest expert Becca Ribbing helps me break down when it makes sense to hang on and make the best of what you got and make the job you have into the one you want.

These are topics where there are so many resources out there in the universe. But they all come from what I lovingly call the pale, stale male perspective. While it can be billed as tried and true to feel relevant, helpful, or equity and justice centric, so many miss the mark. So the conversation we are having on the Career Clarity Show is about what's changed, what's different, and how to think about leadership and career progression and development through the lens of the uniqueness of not necessarily falling into the pale, stale male category.

We are talking about a topic that in the 100 plus episodes of the show  we have never covered before: Parental Leave. Because when we talk about career clarity and finding a path that feels like it truly fits you, one of the biggest pieces of that is the life that you want to have. It's not just about the job you're doing, or the responsibilities that you have on your job description. It's about how your work enables you to live the life that you want to live. And for many of us that life includes a family.  So I am so excited for us to talk about the topic of parenthood, parental leave, and making work work for you. Dr. Amy Beacom and Sue Campbell, authors of The Parental Leave Playbook, are here to share their expertise.

Today on the Career Clarity Show, we're talking about one of the biggest factors that can go into dissatisfaction with your job and with your workplace - organizational culture. If you have worked in any sort of work environment, you know what a difference the energy of the organization makes, the values of the organization makes. And you know what an incredible difference there is between a healthy happy culture where you feel like you can thrive and do great work, and maybe not so healthy and happy culture where you don't feel like you have psychological safety or can bring your best stuff to the office or to the workplace.  Authors Chris Edmonds and Mark Babbitt are here to talk about what the elements are that go into culture, why culture matters, how to be intentional, how to think about it, and perhaps even how to screen it from afar. Their book Good Comes First is available now and shares similar insight into maring career discernment decisions and finding a great place to land and build a career.

On today's podcast, Lisa Lewis Miller, author and founder of Career Clarity, joins us to explore how we can stay centered while making a career change. Lisa emphasizes the importance of exploring our values, who we want to be, what lifestyle we want to have before taking action. Most of us can get stressed and overwhelmed in the job searching process, but Lisa explains the key to managing overwhelm is by taking such small steps we hardly feel like we are taking action. For instance, start by telling a trusted friend you are interested in making a career move! She explains how this is a powerful practice that creates a snowball of effects. Lisa also drops wisdom for how perfectionists and people-pleasers can use mindfulness to untangle from unhelpful patterns and actually find work that fuels their soul.

And while I hesitate to call it perhaps exciting, I think it's really important terrain for us to be talking about. We're talking about workplace induced trauma. I think every single one of us has either personally experienced or knows someone who has experienced a less than ideal workplace situation. Maybe there was harassment or a toxic workplace. And so often, these are the kinds of things that make us want to leave and make us consider career change.

On today's episode of the Career Clarity Show, we are talking about one of the foundational principles to navigating career change and moving towards something that feels like it truly fits you and is aligned with who you are -  values. It's the question of “What do you hold dear?”. What do you prioritize when you're faced with a trade off and a decision where one choice honors some things that are important to you and the other choice honors different things that are important to you? How do you make the comparison?  So often, we can feel like we're forced to make some decisions that we have to show up as our professional self versus our personal self. And that each one of them is a shade of who we are. Too often we can't bring our full selves to work.  Our guest Linda Evans is here to dissect how to think about bringing more of your values into the way that you make decisions in your professional life as well as your personal life. We touch on feeling that kind of satisfaction and alignment that you're wanting moving forward.

My guest and I can both tell you we have seen people have incredible, amazing transformational changes occur. However, coaching isn't cheap. It is the kind of thing that is a big investment into yourself. And because of that, it can feel scary, overwhelming, and it can feel financially impossible.  Rebecca and I are both very committed to increasing accessibility and increasing the opportunity for everybody to get that kind of one on one intensive support, and accountability and making it available to as many people as humanly possible.  Show Notes: Rebecca Fraser-Thill LinkedIn: Rebecca Fraser-Thill Roadmap to a Fulfilling Career eBook

Is this what's gonna be best for me and my family? Is this actually needed to do my best work?  In this season, I think every single one of us is going through a period of some serious discernment. So today we're talking about the great resignation - where it's coming from, who's participating in it, and helping you to walk through and think through a guide for yourself. If you are staring at a career crossroads, wondering about what's coming next for you, given the evolving nature of what it means to return back to the office, this conversation is for you. Because we are going to be talking about things like well-being, empowerment, confidence, standing up for yourself, and identifying what your needs are, so you can make sure that they're getting met no matter what decision you make in the future.  Show Notes: Read more about Career coach Kate Solis Silva.

Career Clarity Coaches Jenn Smith and Kelley Shields are taking over the podcast to discuss a topic that's coming up for a lot of people right now - What happens if your employer wants you back in the office full time, but you don't want that? As more and more people have gotten vaccinated, the CDC has lifted the mask mandate (and then put it back) and offices are starting to open back up. So many of our clients crave the flexibility and option to work from home. It's exciting to see that more employers are now open to it.  Jenn and Kelley break down leading virtual teams, how to make it easier for your employer to say yes to remote work, and how to return to work if you do have to return to the office.

For full show notes, go to GetCareerClarity.com/Episode116. We are diving into a topic that longtime listeners know we are passionate about here - which is fulfilling careers. We're digging into how to find one, what it looks like, making decisions for yourself to move closer towards one, and why they're so elusive in the first place. If you've read our book Career Clarity, you definitely know that this is an area that we care a lot about.  This is an area where so many of us want a fulfilling career and yet feel woefully unequipped to find it. How do I know what I want? How do I know what's going to feel good? What if I have a dream for where I want to be yet when I actually get there, it doesn't feel the way that I wanted it to feel? So if any of those are questions that have been coming up for you, waking you up in the morning and keeping you up at night, you are going to love this episode of the podcast.

For full show notes, go to GetCareerClarity.com/Episode115. On today's episode of the show, we are talking about something that we don't talk about enough - getting paid what you are worth. Now, when it comes to thinking about career change, it can be really intimidating to think about what you should be making in your next job. Usually, for most career changers, you're moving into an area where you have a little bit less experience than you would have had if you just carried on through your same corporate ladder, marching up to the next promotion.  When you're making a pivot, it can feel really difficult to know how to position what your experience is worth. For so many of us, there is a huge fear that can pop up that if you make a move into a new industry or a new job function then you'll have to start back at the bottom of the ladder. If you've ever had any of those worries and fears, I am so excited for you to hear today's episode of the Career Clarity Show. We are talking to Claudia Miller, a career coach and negotiation expert, about how you can set yourself up for success in making a job transition.  Show Notes: Claudia Miller Instagram: @claudiamiller LinkedIn: Claudia T Miller Podcast: Roadmap To The Executive Suite

For full show notes, go to GetCareerClarity.com/Episode114. Back with us for the latest episode of the Career Clarity show is the delightful Career Clarity certified coach Kelley shields. The reason why I asked Kelley back on the podcast is because we received a topic request from a listener and past client. We're talking about how to take a break or sabbatical and give yourself the time and the space to do a proper reset.  I thought this is a conversation worth having because there are so many ways to do it. There's so many people who have done it successfully on their own terms. I often hear from folks that are so burned out and would love to travel or take a sabbatical.    We are diving into what a work break is, how you can take one in a way that is doable, and finding new and different ways to navigate time travel and time off in our careers.  Show Notes: Career Clarity Coach Kelley Shields Episode 99: The Impact of Work Stress with Kelley Shields Episode 81: How to Overcome Shame with Kelley Shields Episode 37: You're not undisciplined: Hacking Gretchen Rubin's Four Tendencies for career change with Career Clarity coach Kelley Shields Episode 19: Plan B: How to find a great career when plan A didn't work.

For full show notes, go to GetCareerClarity.com/Episode111. For this episode of the podcast, I want to go in a little bit of a different direction than you may have heard on some of our other episodes. One of the things that is so incredible about so many of the people who come on the Career Clarity Show is that they've always had this ability to navigate career transitions with authority and confidence. I have been realizing more and more that this is not the way that career change goes for all of us. In fact, there are more times than not when it comes to making a transition, something happens in your life that turns things upside down. So many people don't get to have that beautiful heroic narrative of standing on the mountaintop all by yourself having done it in isolation. We saw evidence of this with how the pandemic affected entire industries, markets, and countries.  So on today's podcast Kim “Kid” Curry is here to share his story about overcoming things outside of his control. He'll share ways that each of us can play the hand that we're dealt and find a path forward, even when it's not necessarily on the terms that we would have liked.  Show Notes: Kim Curry The Death of Fairness Roadmap to a Fulfilling Career eBook  

For full show notes, go to GetCareerClarity.com/Episode110. On this episode of the Career Clarity Show, we are talking all about how to tell your professional story in a powerful way. These things might strike fear into your heart, not because you don't think you can do them but because it feels like there's a lot of pressure to tell a really persuasive personal narrative, especially when you're trying to stand out from hundreds or even thousands of other people who are applying for the same kinds of roles that you are.  We're bringing in an expert on how to tell a compelling, persuasive personal story as a candidate to make sure that you stand out. If thinking about your LinkedIn or cover letter gives you the heebie jeebies and you want somebody who can guide you through that with competence, this episode is for you. We're joined by guest expert Rosie McCarthy. Rosie shares how powerful answers to who you are can cascade out into all your professional documents and help you stand out from the crowd in a big, big way.  Show Notes: Youtube: Badass Careers Instagram: Badass Career LinkedIn: Rosie Career Coach Roadmap to a Fulfilling Career eBook

For full show notes, go to GetCareerClarity.com/Episode109. One topic that is oftentimes neglected when we're thinking about making a career change is mindset. One of the reasons why mindset can feel tricky to talk about is because so often when we're going through a season of transition and change, what we want are the tactics: What do I need to do? What are the next steps? What's going to get me results? While the tactics are incredibly important, there is an unspoken piece to the tactics that can dramatically affect their success rate for you. That's the attitude mindset and belief layer that sits on top. You can do the exact same tactics as every other job seeker, but if you aren't feeling good about yourself or believe in what you're doing, you're not bringing positive energy to it. If you find yourself in a position where you are trying to navigate making a change, and it just doesn't feel like you're getting the traction and results that you're looking for, you are definitely going to want to listen to today's episode. Chelle Johnson joins us to share the power of being in the right state of mind in making your tactics as effective as they possibly can be for you.  Show Notes: Best You Career Advantage Linkedin: Chelle Johnson Facebook: Best You Career Advantage Colorado Career Connectors group Roadmap to a Fulfilling Career eBook

For full show notes, go to GetCareerClarity.com/Episode108. We are talking about in this wild world of career change and career discernment, how to make sure that you land within an organization that honors your values, hopefully even aligns with some if not all of your values, and feels good to be in. And If you have ever been on a job search, whether as a part of a career change or not, you know that it can be difficult to land a job within an organization that honors your values and feels good to be in. It can feel really hard to be external to an organization and try to secretly figure out what it's like to be there. You're likely asking questions like these: What are the individuals like? What is the company culture like? What does management feel like? There's so many considerations that go into finding a great place to work where you feel like you fit. On today's episode of the Career Clarity Show, I am delighted to bring on expert, Mark Dyson, in all things job search and career where we will be diving deeply into this question of how to find the kind of organization that truly fits who you are, respect to your values, respects and honors your identity and creates a space for you to thrive. So if you have ever wanted to find a really, really good, great place to fit, but haven't been sure about what the steps are or the right questions to ask along the way, you should definitely keep listening to this episode.  Show Notes: The Voice of Job Seekers LinkedIn: Mark Anthony Dyson Roadmap to a Fulfilling Career eBook

To change things up, we're talking tactical and practical tips to make your career change happen.
