A single mindset shift changed the course of my career: Back when I first started questioning if my career path in consulting was the right fit for me, my mindset was all over the place. I often found myself thinking…
Here’s what changed: I remembered that I'm the CEO of my career. aka I'm the final decision-maker with the power to change my trajectory. I tapped into my own personal power and chose to believe that aligned opportunities are abundant. I stopped making excuses and manufacturing constraints, worrying about other people's opinions, and worst of all — waiting for the perfect time. (Had I waited, I'd still be aligning numbers on powerpoint slides, working past 10PM every night, cringing with the ring of every Teams call, questioning what it was all. Yikes). I decided to prioritize my fulfillment, play the long game, and make a change now. Then I took action:
Landed my absolute dream role 3 months later. This is my story, but it could be yours too. When you change your mindset, you change your trajectory. Are you ready... or are you more committed to the status quo? Hiring picks up in September and October before the holidays. If any time is going to be perfect, it's now. Get clarity on what's next in August, and you'll set yourself up to land that new role by Thanksgiving.

There's always next year. |

I was sitting at my laptop, reflecting on how the holiday season always marks the end of another year, when I caught myself doing something high achievers do all the time: Focusing on where I fell short while completely overlooking how far I've come. Like my client who landed the $150K role she'd been gunning for, only to immediately start worrying about if she was really ready for it. When you're in the messy middle of working toward your next career goal — that time in between where you are...
If you're anything like me, you have trouble slowing down to rest sometimes. Turns out it's just as easy to be "always on" when you love the work you do as when you have a needy boss sending 9PM pings... The job search is no different. At any given time during a career transition, you have a million thoughts going through your head: Where are all the good opportunities? Wait, what do I even want next? And how do I tell my story?
