Dominic sheds light on this by reflecting on his long and successful tenure at Savills. "I had a pretty long career at Savills, 37 years there," he recalls. During this time, he saw the company's growth from a small player to a global leader in the real estate industry. Yet, even with such a fulfilling career, Dominic felt a growing desire to explore new horizons. "I found myself tantalized by more and more things that were out of the guide rails of that role," he explains. This led Dominic to a pivotal moment of self-reflection and a significant career change. He credits a transformative session with Erica for helping him peel off several layers of the onion and gaining clarity on his next steps. "You were brilliant," he tells Erica. "It certainly helped me decide what to do next and end up where I am today." Embracing a Career Portfolio Dominic's shift to a career portfolio is both exciting and challenging.

The Importance of Work-Life Balance One of the critical aspects of Dominic's new career path is achieving a work-life balance. During his time at Savills, the structured environment provided a level of stability. Yet, stepping into consulting required a different approach to managing time and commitments.

This conversation was a turning point, helping him recognize the need to move on and pursue new opportunities. Dominic also emphasizes the value of maintaining a positive mindset.
