    In today’s episode of the Career Change Maker podcast, I’m sharing 3 easy ways to increase visibility on LinkedIn. I speak to so many female professionals who are focused on growing in their careers but are reluctant to show up on LinkedIn. They are put off by seeing so many people excessively promoting themselves and bragging about what they do on the platform. To avoid being viewed in the same way, they will shy away from sharing anything on the platform whatsoever. This inevitably leads to a huge missed opportunity to strategically get in front of hiring managers and decision makers without having to submit application after application!

    In as little as 20 minutes a day 2-3 times per week, you could be taking targeted action that could transform your career. I teach my clients how to leverage LinkedIn in a way that is both impactful and comfortable for them.

    Summary:

    What you will learn in this episode:

    How to make connections - so you’re able to intentionally grow your network with people aligned with your target opportunities. How to use comments - join conversations that are already happening around your area of expertise (or target industry) and build your thought leadership without a huge time commitment. A strategy for content - share your thoughts, ideas and creativity to showcase your perspective and build trust with future hiring managers.

    Episode Notes:

    As an award-winning certified executive and career coach, TEDx speaker, podcast host and former lawyer, I have seen way too many female professionals under selling themselves and settling for less in their careers. I am committed to equipping high achieving women with the tools and support to create careers that are both meaningful and impactful.

    In today’s episode of the Career Change Maker podcast, I’m talking about the sensitive yet empowering topic of asking for what you want in your career without feeling guilty about it. When we are young, we are so committed to what it is we want, or don’t want. As adults, we can lose that courage of our convictions as we fall into people-pleasing habits. It can also make us feel too vulnerable to admit these desires. In order for you to answer what you want without feeling guilt, you need to realise and accept your goals and then understand that your desires and inclinations are valid, regardless of the response you may get from external opinions. Tune in as I share strategies, stories, and give actionable advice to empower you to ask for what you deserve in your career.

    Summary:

    What you will learn in this episode:

    Understanding your worth - realising that your needs and desires are valid and being able to fully use effective communication by learning to express your wants clearly and confidently.Understanding the importance of setting healthy boundaries as well as learning how to deal with rejection - develop resilience when faced with 'no'.Cultural and gender considerations - explore how different backgrounds can affect our ability to ask freely.

    In today’s episode of the Career Change Maker podcast, I’m talking about stepping up and getting noticed in your career. I’ve been listening to my clients and reflecting on what holds people back from moving towards career advancement. The answer is reluctance around visibility and showing up; if you are not getting noticed by the right people you cannot achieve your goals. Particularly in a hybrid working environment, do not assume that the right people simply know who you are and how hard you work. It’s time to share your brilliance with the world and get noticed.

    Summary:

    What you will learn in this episode:

    Hard work alone isn’t enough to open doors - you need to reach the right people in the right places to be heard and ultimately move forward on your chosen career path.How to develop partnerships internally - creating opportunities for collaboration, mentoring and to connect with others in your organisation.How to leverage the power of visibility through your chosen platform by sharing your perspective - realise that your voice is unique. Sharing your perspective can be the difference between someone being able to move forward or simply staying still.

  • So many people have the desire to make a career change. However, for some it feels to risky to pursue:

    It feels risky because people are averse to taking a pay cut and career change is often associated with making a move that will require you to start from the bottomIt feels risky because you don't know whether you have what it takes to show and do a different kind of job. It feels risky because you're leaving an environment that you are familiar with to venture into the unknown.

    In today's episode I want to dig into why and how you can mitigate the risks related to changing career.

    Avoid Taking A Paycut - Moving roles or switching industries does not necessarily need to lead to a pay cut. In fact for many making that move is the thing that leads to a 5-figure salary increase.

    It all comes down to positioning and how well you are able to position your expertise and the value that you are able to bring to the organisation.

    Having The Right Skillset - Whilst you may not know everything you need to know in terms of executing in a new role, you do have the ability to figure it out. Think about someone who gets promoted to the C-Suite. When they get promoted to that position for the first time, they have never done it before. They are not getting promoted because of ther abilitity to do that senior role. They are getting promoted because of their demonstrated potential. When you look back at what you've achieved in your career, you can demonstrate potential.

    Feel Comfortable In A New Environment - You can outgrow your current environment and if you feel an inclination to move on, follow your intuition. You were new in this role at some point and you figured it out. You showed up repeatedly until that newness disappeared and this felt like home.

    If you choose to stay where you are, the real risk is that you'll stagnate and miss the opportunity to reach those impact goals that you have.

    Career change doesn't have do be risky. Take a strategic approach so that you are able to minimise the perceived risk and make the transitioning into a meaningful and impactful role, and secure a salary increase in the process.

    We are opening enrolment for The Career Change Maker Program on January 14th! This cohort is going be like none other with some of the adjustments and refinements we are making to the curriculum. Get yourself on the waitlist as there will be an exclusive bonus for waitlisters.

We follow the career change success story of a client who followed these strategies and transitioned to a new industry, secure a senior leadership position, and obtain a well-deserved salary increase—all in one go.

    3 years ago I made the change from corporate lawyer to career change coach, providing career transition coaching for women. Once I made the switch I couldn’t help but wonder “what took me so long, and why?”. In this episode of the Career Change Maker podcast I explain the top three reasons we stop ourselves from looking for a better career, and how to overcome them to make your career change.

    Summary:

    1. Is it possible to switch careers? Doubt is a big hurdle when trying to transition careers, particularly surrounding salary and skills. Researching the career you are interested in and gathering data will help you gain the confidence to make a mindful career change.

    2. Where to begin? Considering changing career is confusing, you are leaving what you know and entering a whole new world, so understandably it is hard to decide where to transition to. I explain some advice on where to start when looking for better career opportunities.

    3. Recognising the benefits of working in a role you are passionate about. When your role aligns with your passions and values, you will perform so much more effectively, and feel the benefits both professionally and personally.

    Summary:

    1. Embrace commitment - the key to a successful career change lies in committing to the process wholeheartedly. Avoid quick decisions and take the time to assess your goals and desires. When you commit to the career change journey, you massively increase your chances of staying on track and taking the necessary steps to achieve your desired transition.

    2. Align with values and impact - if you feel unsatisfied in your current role, this may be because your values don’t align. Explore opportunities that resonate with your principles and vision. This could lead you to a place where you can make a more significant impact and create positive change.

    3. Create your ideal lifestyle - dedicating yourself to the career change process and remaining committed allows you to create the lifestyle you wants. Seek opportunities that not only fulfill your career aspirations but also allow you to enjoy your work and make a meaningful impact through it.
