Many of the people that we have worked with here at HTYC tend to go through several career changes on their own. They try many of the traditional job search methods, and they don't see lasting results. Usually, they start excited about their new role, but then, at some point, start realizing that something is off. Sometimes the role or company doesn't match your values. Sometimes the role doesn't match your strengths. Laura Parker used to work for a global law firm for 12 years, and made a change to this technology company 2 years ago. It didn't take long for her to realize that she needed to make another change, and that's where she found this podcast. But I'm getting ahead of her story. We need to jump back and see why she needed to leave the law firm in the first place?
Years ago, I wanted to learn more about how some people became what I now call Happy High Achievers - people who were successful in both their career and also in the other areas of life. Fast forward to when we started HTYC, we had the goal to help many more people in the world become Happy High Achievers, not just to get to meaningful work. So what do you think stops people from making career changes to much more fulfilling work? What stops people from becoming Happy High Achievers?

Everyone has a network, but most people misunderstand how their network actually works. Studies have shown that it's not the people closest to us who are the really powerful part of our network -- it's the weak ties, the friends of friends, who truly matter for making things happen. Surprised? Confused? On this week's podcast, I chat with Tanya Malcolm Revell, an HTYC success story who used the weak ties in her network to land her ideal role.

One of the first challenges in a career change is admitting that we need help. Sounds intense, right? But it’s true. We don’t want to admit that our careers are miserable, we don’t want to admit that we need to make a change, and, most of all, we don’t want to admit that we need someone to guide us through the process. On the podcast this week, I chat with Louise McNee, a true HTYC success story. Louise bounced around unsatisfying roles for years before HTYC helped her find one that truly fit.

Career change means leaving an established routine for something unknown, which is scary and, let’s face it, risky. That’s why I love career experiments as a way to learn about different organizations and roles so you can try before you buy and make sure a new organization or a new role will truly be a fit before you commit to it. On this week’s episode, I chat with my HTYC colleague Lisa Lewis about the benefits of career experiments and how to design career experiments that work for you.

Jenny wanted to leave but was scared. What would it say about her 15 years of education and job experience? What would it say to her mentors or the many research scientists in her family?

Many new coaches get tripped up on the idea of how they help people and how they figure out what they want. Mo Chanmugham, one of our amazing coaches here at HTYC, joins us to break down how new coaches can help people start figuring out what they want and how you can begin figuring this out for yourself in your coaching journey. You'll see how we help train people to become world-class level coaches (specifically in our PCC program), how people decide what they want in their career and ultimately lives, and validate those decisions by setting up career experiments.
