3 Thoughts about Changing career midlife  After needing to pivot due to unforeseen circumstances (😷), here are three things that have helped me during my fairly recent career change: 1️⃣ It's never too late to learn! The key is to be curious and explore avenues to foster a growth mindset 📚 2️⃣ Passion can be a byproduct of learning and success! The most often asked question for me about being a trumpet player 🎺 transitioning into Sales 🧑💻 has been how I can go from something passionate about something that I know nothing about. I found out that passion can be a product of a learning mindset, which, when applied strategically, fosters success.  3️⃣Use and expand your network. The exciting thing about a new career in midlife is that you are gaining access to new people in a new industry. Leverage this, along with other more established networks. Don’t be afraid to reach out to people; more often than not, people still want to help other people.  I hope that these posts are useful. How are you finding your career change, or what thoughts do you have about changing careers? #MidlifeCareerChange #LifelongLearning #Upskilling #PersonalDevelopment #CareerGrowth

𝘼𝙧𝙚 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙇𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣? Making a career transition can feel like stepping into the unknown, a place where uncertainty looms large and doubts can cloud your vision. I get it! It's a jungle out there..... Are you in a career transition and finding yourself at a crossroads? Unsure of which path to take because you're not entirely clear about what you truly want. This lack of clarity can be like a dense fog, obscuring your view of the future and making it hard to make confident decisions. One of the reasons for your confusion is that you have not taken the time to deeply explore your true desires and aspirations. What is your true purpose? What drives you, and what motivates you? You might be so caught up in the daily grind of your current job that you haven't paused to reflect on what truly lights a fire under you, and what kind of work truly fulfills you. Another challenge is that the world of work is vast and ever-changing, with countless options and possibilities. This abundance of choices can be overwhelming, leading to indecision and a feeling of being lost in a sea of possibilities. Moreover, societal expectations and norms can play a role in your confusion too. You may feel pressure to pursue a certain career path because it's what your family, friends, or society expects of you, even if it doesn't align with your true desires. All these factors can contribute to a sense of being stuck, and unsure of how to move forward. However, by taking the time to explore your wants and needs, by peeling back the layers of expectation and external influence, you can begin to see more clearly the path that is right for you. It may not always be easy, but with introspection and self-awareness, you can navigate the journey of career transition with greater clarity and confidence. In module #8 of my Interactive Career Accelerator Course - "Seven Questions to Career Alignment" you will become laser-focused and clear about what you want and even more important, what you don't want. The pain and setbacks from making the wrong career choice can be emotionally devastating! Isn't it time you found Your True North?

Your entire career can literally change in a year.  Sounds bold, right? But here's the thing. Most folks think climbing up the career ladder is this massive, almost impossible task.  Yet, if you tackle these three challenges head-on, you're setting yourself up for some serious advancement. First up, the whole "I need to be ready" mindset? It's holding you back. The truth is, you'll never be ready.  Dive in headfirst. Sign up for that new project or role, then figure it out as you go. It's about growth, not perfection. Then, there's the silent wish game. If you're sitting there hoping your boss magically knows you're aiming for a promotion or craving more responsibility, you'll be waiting forever.  Speak up. Make your ambitions known. Be clear and say it out loud.  Lastly, remember it's business, not a social club. Sure, having friends at work is great, but when it comes to career moves, keep it professional.  Decisions are made based on value and contribution, not who's grabbing drinks after work. Overcome these hurdles, and watch as doors open.  Your career is waiting for you to make the move. Who knows where you'll be this time next year?  #CareerGrowth #TakeTheLeap

Every step, even the uncertain ones, can lead to growth. Embrace the journey and trust that you’ll find your way! 🚀 #CareerGrowth #CareerConfusion #ProfessionalJourney #LinkedInCommunity #StayMotivated

Career growth isn’t just only about promotions - it’s about how you grow as a person. We often think progress means getting a raise or a new role. But real growth happens when you learn new skills, solve tough problems, and improve every day. Think about that one task you found so hard sometime back but now do easily. That’s growth. Careers take time. The goal isn’t to rush but to keep moving forward, learning, and improving along the way. Focus on how much you’ve learned, not just how far you’ve gone. #career #growth #corporate #jobs #learning #promotions

Why Wait Until the New Year? Start Your Career Planning Now! We’re heading into the final stretch of the year, and while it’s tempting to “wait until January” to focus on career goals, there’s a crucial reason to start planning right now. The job market is evolving at lightning speed. New technologies, shifts in demand, and economic trends are reshaping industries almost daily. Professionals who wait may find themselves scrambling to keep up—or worse, missing out on valuable opportunities. By starting early, you give yourself time to evaluate your path, identify skill gaps, and make the adjustments needed to stay ahead. The time to act is now, not tomorrow. Don’t let another month go by without a clear plan for where you want to be in your career. Set your goals today, and step into January already ahead of the game.

🕒 Turning Back the Clocks: Time to Reflect on Your Career? 🕒 As the clocks go back in the UK this weekend, it’s a great reminder to pause and reflect on your own career journey. Whether you’re thinking about growing in your current role or exploring new opportunities, here are a few ways to use this “extra” hour thoughtfully: 1️⃣ Reflect on Your Progress: What have you achieved over the past months? Recognise your wins and consider what you want to build on. 2️⃣ Set Your Sights Ahead: Think about where you’d like to be by this time next year. Are there skills, projects, or connections that can help you get there? 3️⃣ Reconnect: Use this time to check in with mentors or reach out to new contacts. Sometimes the right conversation can open unexpected doors. Make the most of the time change and invest in a vision that excites you! 🍂 #CareerReflection #FallBack #CareerTips #CareerDevelopment #NewOpportunitues
