Career change from the inside out

Making the invisible, visible Got willpower? Good. Got planning skills? Great. But you’ll need more than these to make a major career shift. You’ll literally have to turn yourself inside out. Why? Transformational change is not something that happens in a step by step linear fashion, no matter how much you try. It just doesn’t. To make a big career change requires a deep learning process, pushing the boundaries of who you are and revealing your blind spots. Deep learning changes how we think and how we behave. This kind of learning is a combination of self-reflection and practice through trial and error. You have to actually dip your toes (or maybe your whole body) in a new field to see if it is really what you want. And, in a sense, you have to turn yourself inside out — being curious and suspending judgment — to discover just what you’re capable of. Although turning yourself inside out is an uncomfortable process, it also involves making your whole self visible, to yourself and to others.I love helping people discover their hidden strengths and special gifts. Because until you reveal them and bring them to the outside, we can’t use our gifts in a new career. As I’ve discovered through quite a few personal and career transitions, “One doesn’t discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.” – Andre Gide, French novelist. The path I took to being a coach was not something I planned out. It was the result of many work and life experiences coming together in a way that made sense of my values, my strengths, and the kind of work I want to do at this stage of my life. So if you’re ready for some mental and emotional gymnastics, give me a call.
