My Midlife Career Switch: Lessons Learned I'm Nola Simon and I recently shared my story of making a midlife career switch in Maclean's magazine. Why I Made a Midlife Career Switch - Macleans.ca While the article provides context about my personal career journey, I wanted to offer more specific actions and advice based on my experience. Here's what I've learned: Start Earlier Than You Think I began contemplating a career change back in 2014, but due to life circumstances, I didn't make the leap until years later. This taught me that you need to start preparing for a career transition much sooner than you might expect. Life happens – responsibilities, family obligations, and unexpected events can delay your plans. Reflection and Self-Assessment A crucial part of my transition involved deep self-reflection: - I assessed my skills and experiences - I worked to understand what fueled and drained me - I identified market trends and opportunities - I tuned into my desires and aspirations Supporting Practices I found several practices invaluable in supporting my self-discovery and mental well-being: - Yoga - Walking - Writing - Meditation - Mindfulness These practices helped me tune into my authentic desires and navigate the emotional challenges of my career transition. The Role of Career Coaches I hired two career coaches at different times – Sarah Vermunt and Kerri Twigg. They provided: - Guidance in navigating my career changes - Support in developing new skills and mindsets - Insights into personal branding and media presence I found it particularly valuable to see how my coaches developed their own practices and applied their advice to their own work. Dealing with Grief and Identity Shifts An often overlooked aspect of career transitions is the grief associated with letting go of old identities. I experienced this firsthand: - It was emotionally challenging to leave my long-term employer - I struggled with letting go of professional certifications and knowledge that no longer seemed relevant - It was difficult to shift away from the recognition that came with working for an established company brand Taking Concrete Actions I learned that reflection alone wasn't enough. I had to take tangible steps to breathe life into my new career path: - I started a podcast to vocalize my thoughts - I designed a website - I networked and spoke at events - I conducted interviews and research for potential projects Personal Branding in the AI Era I discovered the importance of considering how AI perceives my online presence: - I developed a comprehensive online presence across multiple platforms - I considered how AI tools like ChatGPT interpret my personal brand - I ensured my digital footprint accurately reflects my expertise and aspirations Optimizing for Fulfillment Ultimately, I focused on work that excites and fulfills me: - I identified tasks and projects that energize me - I minimized involvement in work that drains me - I sought out opportunities that align with my strengths and interests I hope these insights from my personal journey are helpful to those considering a midlife career switch. Remember, it's a process that takes time, reflection, and action. Be patient with yourself and stay true to what truly fulfills you.

Ever wonder if book blurbs are worthwhile? A blurb is how I found David Burkus. My coach is Kerri Twigg and she has also been a guest on the show. When she published her book, she asked David Burkus to write a blurb. 2 years later, he's a guest on the podcast. I also volunteered to be a beta reader for his new book Best Team Ever! I didn't manage to give him much useful feedback due to my schedule so the least I can do is help him promote it, right? It is a good book - David tells stories I've never heard before to explain how important trust, psychological safety and respect are to team work. The story of the Savannah Bananas stands out - who knew they now have an ESPN special? Sports stories of any sort normally bore me but this one is such a fun illustration of innovative and creative leadership. Join us for this interesting conversation. I asked David some tough questions about the paradox of the Netflix culture of trust, AI, strikes and societal good. David's most effective question? It involves Batman (not the George Clooney portrayal lol). David's favourite vision for the future? It involves a red stapler and pop culture.

I met Amanda Lewis in a meditation class with my coach and podcast guest Kerri Twigg. Amanda edited Kerri's book as well as Leslie Ehm's book. I'm fascinated with network science and how people come to know one another. When I found out Amanda was publishing her own book, Tracking Giants, I knew I wanted to talk to her about the process of writing a book as an editor, the practices that support her creative process and her West Coast remote working lifestyle. This conversation was a lot of fun - if you've never heard my loud laugh you will:) I realized right at the end that Amanda's publishing date is personally relevant to me as well - I get to sprinkle my mom's magic and send beautiful success vibes Amanda's way. About Tracking Giants - available for pre-order now A funny, deeply relatable book about one woman's quest to track some of the world's biggest trees. When she first moved back west after nearly a decade away, Amanda Lewis was an overachieving, burned-out book editor most familiar with trees as dead blocks of paper. A dedicated “indoorswoman,” she could barely tell a birch from a beech. But that didn't stop her from pledging to visit all of the biggest trees in British Columbia, a Canadian province known for its rugged terrain and gigantic trees. The “Champion” trees on Lewis's ambitious list ranged from mighty Western red-cedars to towering arbutus (madrone). They lived on remote islands and at the center of dense forests. The only problem? Well, there were many… Climate change and a pandemic aside, Lewis's lack of wilderness experience, the upsetting reality of old-growth logging, the ever-changing nature of trees, and the pressures of her one-year timeframe complicated her quest. Burned out again—and realizing that her “checklist” approach to life might be the problem—Lewis reframed her search for trees to something humbler and more meaningful: getting to know forests in an interconnected way. Weaving in insights from writers and artists, Lewis uncovers what we're really after when we pursue the big things—revealing that sometimes it's the smaller joys, the mindsets we have, and the companions we're with that make us feel more connected to the natural world.

Lead with what you are shy about! Today we are talking about owning the specialness of your story, getting real in the business world, and what being a bully was like! Kerri Twigg became a masterful storyteller and learned it from her daddy! His wild storytelling abilities and talents helped him get back up and rise the ranks in the railroad industry after getting his foot run over by a train! Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy. Kerri Twigg is an international career coach who uses storytelling, mindfulness, and meditation to help people achieve happiness and fulfillment in their job. She trains people how to use stories and mindfulness to love their work more. She worked as a Career Transition Consultant for years and became known for helping people land dream jobs using stories. She even wrote a book about it. She started to see a pattern in her clients and elsewhere. People were in their dream jobs, but they still didn't feel good. So, if the external circumstances didn't help, maybe career contentment is actually an inside job. She's spent the last three years fusing science-informed mindfulness training with career coaching.

More than any of the jobs listed below, this was her most important work. She spent years teaching people how to feel comfortable being and expressing themselves and writing plays. So much of her coaching work comes from theatre and plays. This work didn't always pay all her bills so she had these day jobs too: the Career Development Project Manager for New Professionals Network with the Government of Manitoba (Gov't Manitoba 2016 – 2018) a Career Transition Consultant at an HR firm (specialist in resumes!) (People First, 2013 – 2016) expanding a community arts program & expanding programs (Art City, 2011 – 2013) helping to reduce GHG emissions and bring the community together (Sustainable South Osborne, 2010 – 2011) doubling the revenue of art appreciation tours and classes (Winnipeg Art Gallery, 2008 – 2009) Connect with Kerri https://www.career-stories.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/kerritwigg Connect with Reena https://linktr.ee/bettercalldaddy bettercalldaddy.com linkedin.com/in/reenafriedmanwatts twitter.com/reenareena Me and my daddy would love to hear from you, subscribe and drop us a five star review podchaser.com/bettercalldaddy ratethispodcast.com/bettercalldaddy https://youtube.com/c/BetterCallDaddy
Join The Janus Oasis Community What does it feel like if you have nothing to prove? Kerri Twigg is my coach and I've watched her pivot from being a resume writer and career coach to an author and story and mindfulness coach. She's an inspiration - I started meditating when the pandemic started and it's been such a useful skill to apply to reimagining my career during my sabbatical. It's more than just counting your breath - Kerri uses science-informed techniques - the same techniques used to study mindfulness at Harvard and Carnegie Mellon. Integrating mindfulness into building your story and career strategy is a game changer. It works for people who are looking or creating new jobs but also for people who just want more contentment with the job they have. Kerri and I know each other well so this is truly more of a conversation than a formal interview.

Today we explore a new level - how to use story to find your best and most satisfying career - and we'll start with the stories we tell about ourselves….no really, not just in theory and how those stories affect our self confidence, but these stories are the foundation for The Career Stories Method, by Kerri Twigg, as she helps us narrow in on the career stories we have and how to use them to get into your ideal work. My interview with Kerri takes a look at her 11 step method for finding or creating your perfect career, and how to use your stories in your cover letter, resume, and online postings. Before I interview authors I always try to read their books to make sure they are a good fit for my audience and that their work is legit. I got Kerri's book - The Career Stories Method, from her PR firm 2 weeks ago, and while I was not sure I'd make it through it in time for the interview I jumped in. As I read I discovered that the steps were interesting, thought provoking, and I started doing the work and considering my own stories as I read along. I've sticky notes poking out of many pages and I've got my 3x5 cards with my stories in a little stack. She's legit. Kerri Twigg is the founder and operator of Career Stories. Though courses and coaching she helps people use their stories to grow their careers, or find their ideal work. She's worked for 20 years helping people find out what makes them awesome and how that helps their career. “A resume is where you put your most incredible stories in one place in order to open up opportunities.” —Kerri Twigg on her Ted Talk Tune into our interview for the 11 Steps to finding your ideal career and for my talk with Kerri about her story. To contact Kerri: www.career-stories.com TEDx Talk - Burn Your Old Resume Her Book: The Career Stories Method: 11 Steps to Find Your Ideal Career - and Discover Your Awesome Self in the Process I love a couple things about the Career Story Method. The first is that it's a process of discovering your awesome self. It guides us through a detailed look at the things we really shine at, and that's a fun journey. The second is the focus on the power of story, which is, of course, what this entire podcast is set up for, to help remind you how important our stories our - our stories, the ones we tell ourselves about ourselves, about other people, about our lives and situations. These will bring us happiness or misery. Stories help us illustrate to others our experience and help others share with us their experiences - it's how we find our way down the human path. Kerri has methodized a way to using your stories to bless you and your path. She says she does this process every year, and encourages us to do the same. I found it a very interesting process, I'd recommend it. Especially if you need a change, but even if you don't it helps you really dial in on what you're good at. - And who doesn't want a little more of that. See you in two weeks for the next episode of the Love Your Story podcast.

One of the core goals of the POZCAST is to give those currently within their jobsearch or those thinking about their next move tactical, actionable advice and best practices to give you the advantage. With me today is a leading expert in this space, Kerri Twigg. Kerri has been helping people to figure out what makes them awesome and how to embrace that awesomeness for over 20 years. First as a creative drama teacher and now as a career coach. She doesn't tell everyone this, but she's allergic to formulas that make you look like everyone else. You're more interesting than that. She knows what it takes to land your ideal job, transition into a new sector, and establish your career brand. Hailing from our northern friend, Winnipeg Manitoba Canada, Kerri helps people use their stories to land ideal jobs. And, if you don't know what kind of work you are looking for, she can help with that too. She is more than a career coach, she is a career-artisan, helping job seekers craft their Stories + Job Search Strategy. She is also a workshop facilitator and contributing writer to the Amazon Bestselling Career Book: “YOUMAP” and just an all around kick-ass human. I connected w/ Kerri as part of Evangela Leclair's SOS Career Summit that brought 20+ experts in our field together to help jobseekers. I poked around a bit into Kerri's background and once I watched her insanely entertaining dancing videos (and puddle jumping) I was hooked- I needed to speak with her! So I reached out and we connected a few weeks ago and all I can say is that I wish I recorded that conversation because it was awesome. Join us on E11 of #thepozcast as we go deep into all things career journey w/ Kerri Twigg! Enjoy! Comment, like, review and subscribe! Thanks
