# 165: Three Ways To Confidently Change Your Career

The Career Change Maker Podcast

In today’s episode of the ‘Career Change Maker’ podcast, I talk about three ways to change your career with confidence. The reason why I'm talking on this topic is that I speak to so many people who have been feeling about wanting to make a career change for way too long.

Episode Highlights:

· 04:15 - In today's life I want to break down how you can be approaching your decision-making process differently so that you're able to move forward with confidence.

· 06:05 - When it comes to your career, you can either make a Shift, Pivot, or Leap. So I will break down what I mean by each of those.

· 07:40 - A pivot is where you're deciding to do something slightly different. So you're no longer doing the same type of role but you're using your transferable skills and your skillset to work in an environment that may be similar to what you've been working in.

· 11:00 - Having focus allows you to move forward with confidence instead of spinning your wheels where you are, and considering the other options means that you're leaning into what's important for you and creating your criteria.

· 14:05 - I've had so many conversations with my clients who have seen opportunities and got excited about them, and when I faced them, I was like this sounds good.

· 16:20 – To summarize, you can change your career with confidence by making a shift into a new role, you can make a pivot in your career, and lastly, you can make a leap where you decide I'm going to leave this role.

· 17: 30 – Many people are staying in roles for too long because they just don't want to make that decision, and ultimately, they are missing out on an opportunity to make the type of impact they could make if they were in the right role.

What you will learn:

1. There are three different ways that you can be making a career change. I talk about all three ways (Shift, Pivot, and Leap), and how you can be applying them to your situation. A situation like either you say where I'm right now or if I need to do something completely different, and hence the career shift can feel too much. However, there're different options, it is not an either/or situation.
2. These different options are available, but it is important to consider what is important to you right now in this stage of your career. Because sometimes when we try to make career change decisions, it feels like a struggle and there is resistance around moving.
3. Ultimately, whether you decide that you're going to make a Shift, Pivot, or Leap it comes down to you making a decision and moving in your career rather than staying in the role that you're in right now feeling frustrated, feeling like you're being overlooked and undervalued.
