Are you feeling that persistent whisper that there's something more for you professionally? In this conversation with Christina, career and mindset coach, we explore the reality of career transitions in midlife. Christina shares her personal journey from feeling trapped in a role that affected her health and relationships to creating a business that allows her to help women find careers that truly align with their strengths and values. This episode offers practical wisdom for women navigating their own career crossroads — whether considering a complete change, returning to work, or simply seeking more fulfilment.Key TakeawaysListen to your intuitionThose persistent nudges and whispers are signaling something important. Christina encourages following these "breadcrumbs" as they often lead to your most authentic path, even when the destination isn't yet clear.You don't need permissionMany midlife women feel they need external validation to make career changes. Christina's message is clear: "You have our permission to step forward and take the courage to do what you want to do."Uncover your patternsReflect on what you've enjoyed most (and least) throughout your career. Look for recurring themes to identify your true strengths and values—these become your compass for future decisions.Small steps create momentumYou don't need to make dramatic changes overnight. Taking incremental actions—volunteering for projects, shadowing others, or developing specific skills—prepares you for when the timing is right.Self-worth drives changeThe biggest barrier for many women isn't external circumstances but internal beliefs about being worthy of the career they truly desire. Addressing these beliefs is often the catalyst for transformation.If Christina's insights resonated with you, take a moment to journal about that "one thing you've been avoiding" in your career journey. What small step could you take this week toward a more fulfilling professional life? Remember, life doesn't end at 50—for many women, including Christina, that's when it truly begins to flourish.

In this episode of the Lead to Soar podcast, host Michelle Redfern welcomes back Noa Rein, an organizational psychologist and HR advisor, to discuss navigating career crossroads. Together, they explore the concept of being the main character in your career story and the challenges of decision-making when faced with career transitions. Noa shares her expert insights on how individuals, especially women, can recognize when they are at a career crossroads, the emotions and fears that often accompany it, and how to take control of the narrative of their career. They also discuss the power of imagination, the importance of reflection, and practical tools to help people move forward with agency.Episode Highlights:What is a Career Crossroad?Noa defines a career crossroad as the moment when you recognize you're in transition. It's often marked by feelings of being stuck or lost, or external events like redundancy. While change can feel overwhelming, it's crucial to see it as an opportunity for growth.Internal vs. External Crossroads:Career transitions can be internally generated (e.g., feeling unfulfilled) or externally imposed (e.g., being laid off). Both require self-awareness and reflection to navigate.Recognizing Misalignment in Your Career:Noa emphasizes that feelings of “meh” or dissatisfaction can indicate a deeper misalignment between who you are now and what you're doing. These feelings are key signals that it's time for change.The Role of Imagination and Exploration:Career exploration begins with curiosity. Noa encourages using imagination to explore new possibilities without the immediate pressure to act. Asking questions like "What am I longing for?" can spark powerful insights.Agency in Career Transitions:Both Michelle and Noa discuss how understanding that you are the author of your own career story gives you agency. Reflecting on your experiences and considering alternative paths can empower you to make deliberate career decisions.Letting Go of the Past:One of the hardest parts of navigating a career crossroads is letting go of past investments, both emotional and professional. But letting go is essential to move forward and embrace new opportunities.Leadership Call to Action:1. Reflect on Your Current Path: Take a moment to assess your career satisfaction. Are you feeling aligned with your current work, or is there a “meh” sensation creeping in? Make time for self-reflection.2. Give Yourself Permission to Explore: Use your imagination to consider new possibilities without the pressure to act right away. What are you longing for in your career? Begin by allowing yourself to dream.3. Find Your Spark: Identify small moments or thoughts that stand out to you, like a spark on a blank page. Let those moments guide you toward deeper exploration.4. Practice Self-Compassion: As you navigate career transitions, show yourself kindness. Let go of the narrative that you need to have everything figured out immediately. Progress, not perfection, is key.5. Seek Support: Whether through a mentor, coach, or peer network like Lead to Soar, find a buddy who can support you through your transition. Remember, no one navigates their career alone.Connect with Noa on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/noaerein/?originalSubdomain=au or at Career Science: https://www.careerscience.com.au/index.html Hosted on Acast.

Have you ever stood at the crossroads of your career, the weight of decision pressing down on you like a heavy fog? My wife, Shakira Williams, and I know that fork in the road all too well. Together, we take you through the emotionally charged journey of stepping back from roles that once defined us, sharing our personal narratives from the worlds of education and social work. In a space where passion meets exhaustion, we bare our struggles with burnout, the search for impact, and the haunting sense of inadequacy that can lead to the hardest of choices: to leave or not to leave.Within the heart of our discussion lie the stories that shaped our professional lives, the ones that still have the power to stir us. Shakira brings to the table the unique challenges that come with the territory of social work, while I offer my insights from the trenches of education. We dissect the temptation to let others steer our careers and the pivotal moments that force us to confront our true calling. Whether it's finding joy as a stay-at-home mom or rekindling the flame for teaching in a different environment, our conversation is an intimate exploration of the transitions that shape our professional and personal worlds.As we close this chapter, we reflect on the essence of what it means to find fulfillment in our careers.

Could the mental strategies of elite athletes revolutionise our performance, whether in the operating room, the boardroom, or the classroom?

Welcome to another Industry Night with Nycci Nellis. If you follow me on Insta - and you should @‌nyccinellis - you know I have been out and about. And it has been a week of incredible eats: -The Napa Valley Vintners were in town pouring their incredible wines all over town. And I wasn't just at one event, I was at two! First, 25+ winemakers poured at the Duck & the Peach - side note - I did record a show there with several of them — and then I was invited to the Smithsonian for an incredible evening honoring the winemakers - Napa Valley Wines in Changing Times with: -Andy Erickson, Favia; -Dawnine Dyer, Dyer Vineyard; -Doug Shafer, Shafer Vineyards; -and Martin M. Reyes, Reyes Wine Group They all poured their wines during a glorious sit down dinner while also chatting about the issues facing that gorgeous region. -Got a group of Boss Babes at Nobu for an evening of pristine sushi & amazing cocktails Now, since this is my third show recording this week, that's the three things I have consumed since the last taping! But just wait until this weekend its chock full of events — White House Correspondents Party at the Ambassador of Japan's Residence, checking out David Deshaies new Love, Makoto and another trip up to NYC to celebrate famous alums of the CIA Today's show: Sahil Rahman & his partner Rahul Vinod are the two behind the wildly successful fast casual concept, RASA. And honestly, I am feeling a little old sitting here.  Years ago when I started in this business I met his father, Surfy Rahman and Surfy's business partner chef K.N. Vinod when they opened Indique in Cleveland Park in 2002. These two men were part of an incredible wave of immigrant owned restaurants in this city that helped change not just the way we ate — deliciously —  but also gave people a new point of view when it came to restaurants and the dining scene in this city. Cut to today, Sahil & Rahul have turned the industry on it's head with their innovative concept of fine fast casual Indian. I personally love where Sahil's head is at … tune in ~ Quotes: "We're not selling Indian cuisine, we're selling happiness, and Indian cuisine happens to be our medium." -Sahil Rahman “You know, no matter where you start, the most important thing is to start and be relentless”- Sahil Rahman Guests Social Media Links: Sahil Raman Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rasa/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rasarising Website: https://www.rasa.co Twitter: https://twitter.com/rasa Featuring Nycci Nellis https://www.instagram.com/nyccinellis/ https://www.thelistareyouonit.com/ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 8:35 Embracing the Rise of Indian Culture 12:42 Culinary Traditions Unleashed: Feeding Communities with Heart 17:26  Easing Food Fears: Introducing Indian Cuisine with a Twist" 22:30 Navigating Career Crossroads and Embracing Change" 28:09 Unleashing Fast-Casual Indian Cuisine near the Baseball Stadium 31:41 Ambition to Action: Rasa's Roadmap to Success 35:10 Unveiling Rasa's Bold Bowls and Flavorful Delights 46:40 Outro Produced by Heartcast Media http://www.heartcastmedia.com

Want to know how to become a highly effective organizational consultant…the Disney way? Today's guests are my treasured colleagues Harold Hill and Luis Marrero. The three of us worked together as internal consultants at Walt Disney World before starting our consulting and coaching businesses. I'm not going to lie – this conversation was some of the most fun I have had on the podcast. I had a blast taking a trip down memory lane and deconstructing what it was about our experience as internal consultants at Disney that was so unique and powerful. You'll hear Harold and Luis validate everything you have listened to me share. They talk about what we did at Disney that was so effective, especially our intentionality around our consulting approach with clients and capturing our best practices into an online program that inspired the eCourse I created called the Consultant's Toolbox. If you want to learn more about the consulting approach we used at Disney and grow our practices, I got a holiday gift for you.

Are you ready for the new retirement? The old-fashioned "full-stop" retirement simply doesn't work for everyone. For many people, to retire happy, it includes some form of work - on your own terms. In a hybrid retirement, work - paid or unpaid - can provide meaning, connection, purpose, fulfillment - and some income. There are more options available today to create a hybrid retirement that works for you. But that may mean changing lanes. You'll need to plan ahead and lay the groundwork. Justin Smith, CFP., CAP, CFA of Savant Wealth Management, offers his tips and a tool to help you think outside the box and navigate career crossroads. Justin joins us from Phoenix, Arizona. ________________________ Delaying retirement?  You could wait until you retire and ask What Now? – and then scramble – or drift. Don't be that person. Instead, start planning for the non-financial side of retirement now. Delaying when to retire doesn't mean delaying your preparation.

Nobody announced it, but it's becoming more and more popular. 20 years ago there was really one path where it was somebody in the C-suite and then they would go serve on a board and they went from working 80 hours a week to working 20 hours a week. They'd still fly around and go to board meetings and things like that. But now that has been democratized and there's countless different ways that people can take a hybrid path.

Andrew Griffiths is a very special person as he is my Author Mentor and inspiration for my book, Navigating Career Crossroads. Without his advice and unwavering support I wouldn’t have had the courage to become a published author. Andrew is a very special gentleman. It has been 15 years since Andrew’s first book ‘101 Ways to Market Your Business’(Allen & Unwin) first hit the shelves. The way we do business has evolved furiously during this time – in an age where we are drowning in information but thirsty for wisdom, Andrew now has 12 bestselling titles which are sold in over 60 countries. This is clearly testament to the fact that he continues to offer relevant advice as an author and business commentator. What an amazing career! Starting life as an orphan in Western Australia and growing up all too quickly in the seedy red light district of Perth, Andrew learned to become a survivor. The lessons learned in his battle for survival – in life and in business – have made him one of the most successful and highly sought after authorities in the small business and entrepreneurial space. Andrew is a bestselling business author and presenter not just because his personal story is moving and his narrative is unexpectedly humorous After 30 years as a business owner in industries as diverse as tourism, advertising, retailand consulting, he has been there and done it. Today Andrew shares the stage with leaders and inspirational thinkers, from celebrity entrepreneurs including Richard Branson, to the up and coming young entrepreneurial elite like Daniel Priestly, to game changing politicians, famous authors, inspirational individuals who have done extraordinary things and many more. In the literary world as an entrepreneurial commentator, Andrew’s peers include the likes of Malcom Gladwell and Seth Godin. Described by many as the big man with the big heart, Andrew is on a mission to share the entrepreneurial rites of passage that he has learned to help others set themselves apart from the crowd.
