On today's episode we are re-sharing one of our favorite interviews with Tess Vigeland, author of Leap: Leaving a Job with No Plan B to Find the Career and Life You Really Want. Listen in for an honest conversation with Tess about leaving high status jobs without something impressive lined up. Seeing as many people are thinking about what's next for them in their career, this conversation seemed timely to re-share.  I also think it's very timely to re-share this conversation as so many people are thinking about what's next for them in their career. Maybe that means no job. Maybe that means pursuing the good enough job. Or maybe that means staying where you are but working on your attachment between your job title and self-worth.  Weekly Newsletter Sign-Up: http://bit.ly/37hqtQW Follow Career Contessa: http://bit.ly/2TMH2QP   Power Moves Book: https://bit.ly/3mosST1 Tess Vigeland Twitter: https://bit.ly/3d2Ddzx Tess Vigeland Website: https://bit.ly/3xBPBjz Produced by Dear Media.

The first word when writing a letter, the first paragraph when writing a book, the first line when writing a poem, the first step when going out on the stage, the first day at a new job is usually the hardest. Getting up the courage to take that leap and dive in can be difficult and seem overwhelming. It takes willing to let go of past failures, letting go of pain and hurt we experienced on other attempts and instead trust God to be there to help us. That is what will be required of us as we let go and move forward with God.In this episode, you will discover:God calls us to let go of the past in our own livesWhat it means to let go of the past so that we are ready to move into the plans God has for usLetting go of the past takes forgivenessLetting go of the past takes surrendering our burdens to the LordSometimes letting go is hard because we’ve dug ourselves a rut too deepFirst Church has always sought to trust God in all things. We have taken leaps throughout our history as a church that has led to growth in our personal walk with God and the life of the church. We have learned that God is ever faithful as we remain faithful to Him.Change is coming, I am certain. Not because I say so but because God is bringing that change. He has already started. As the pressure builds to be more and more relevant in this world, changes become inevitable. It will take the surrender of doing things the same, it will take looking at things differently and it will take the willingness to let go of the past and embrace what God is doing today.

Ever think about quitting your job? A vast majority of people do. One survey cited by CBS News found that 84% of Americans want to switch employers. Yet most of us show up for work every Monday even when we want to be somewhere else. There are many reasons we don’t quit our job--even jobs that make us unhappy. Top concerns people cite include: family, money and opportunity.   But what if you walked out of your office today without lining up your next job? Does that sound crazy? This week on Find Your Dream Job, we speak to author Tess Vigeland, who makes a case for why you should quit your job now - even if you don’t have a “Plan B.” In this 34-minute episode you will learn: Why leaving a dream job might be the best move you can possibly make How to know when it’s time to quit your job How to review, understand, and present your employable skills How to discover who you are outside of your traditional career role This week’s guest: Tess Vigeland (Twitter | LinkedIn) Author, Leap: Leaving a Job with No Plan B to Find the Career and Life You Really Want SE Asia Listener question of the week: “How does one brand themselves in the midst of a career / industry transition?” - Chris Be sure to leave a comment on our Facebook page to be entered to win a special prize!  If you have a question you’d like us to answer on a future episode, please contact Jenna Forstrom, Mac’s List Community Manager at jenna@macslist.org.

For Life on Purpose Episode #31, my guest is veteran journalist, speaker, and author Tess Vigeland, a well-known voice to millions of American radio listeners as the longtime host with public radio’s Marketplace. In the fall of 2012, she quit what she considered her "dream job" without having a Plan B lined up, or even any idea what she wanted to do next. This set the stage for what happened next... Tess joins me for a great conversation about career, life, vulnerability, her life changing speech at WDS 2013 in Portland, and her brand new book Leap: Leaving a Job with No Plan B to Find the Career and Life You Really Want. About Tess: Tess Vigeland is a veteran journalist, and a well-known voice to millions of American radio listeners. She is the CEO of Tess Vigeland Productions, a Los Angeles-based multi-media company. Tess spent 11 years as an anchor for public radio’s Marketplace, including six hosting the personal finance show Marketplace Money. Her first book, titled “Leap Without A Net: Leaving A Job With No Plan B,” is due out August 25, 2015, from Random House Harmony. When she’s not locked away writing, Tess can be heard as a backup anchor for NPR’s All Things Considered, as well as KCRW’s To The Point and KPCC’s Take Two in Los Angeles. She also serves as a professional emcee, speaker, panel moderator, and interviewer for conferences and other events. Tess also writes for The New York Times and The Guardian, among numerous other publications. About Leap: Until recently, Tess Vigeland was a longtime host with public radio’s Marketplace; it was a rewarding, high-status job, and Tess was very good at it—but she’d begun to feel restless. Without any definite, clear sense of what she wanted to do next (but an absolute certainty that what she’d been doing was no longer truly satisfying), she walked away from her dream job and into a vast unknown. Suddenly she was no longer “Marketplace’s Tess Vigeland,” she was just Tess Vigeland. For the multitude of Americans who change jobs mid-career (by choice or circumstance), the growing legions of freelance workers, and the entrepreneurially-minded who see self-employment as an increasingly more appealing and viable option, Tess Vigeland has created a personal and well-researched account of leaping without a net. With her signature humor, she writes honestly about the fear, uncertainty, and risk involved in leaving the traditional workforce—but also the excitement, resources, and possibilities that are on the other side. Leap is also about finding a new definition of success. Tess poses the important question – “Who am I without my job?" She shares the accounts of people who struggled with this question before and after they took their own leap of faith, and ended up finding out more about themselves than they’d thought possible. Success doesn’t have to be measured by salary or a traditional career path, as so many of us are conditioned to think, but by your own happiness and fulfillment. Part memoir and part field guide, this book offers a funny, thoughtful, and provocative look at how to find satisfaction and success when pursuing a career less ordinary.
