    In today’s episode of the Career Change Maker podcast, I’m joined by Sofia Gameiro Inácio; brand strategist and designer with a background in architecture. Sofia shares her career change journey and the lessons she learnt along the way. We discuss the ways you can move too fast and too frequently through different careers on a mission to find the perfect role. We look at ways to be intentional about your career moves, to pick up valuable and transferable skills and the ways you can position yourself to be in the best place to make a move now.

    Summary:

    What you will learn in this episode:

    • How to embrace exploration – You don't have to know where you will end up. Don’t discount the journey even if you are not yet at your goal. Bridge-opportunities are necessary to move you closer to your goal.
    • Personal branding - how to think of yourself as a brand or business in order to build yourself up using the 4 key stages: self-awareness, adaptability, continuously learning/challenging and building your narrative.

I discuss the importance of networking for professional growth and how women can tailor their networking strategies to fit their personality type. Whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert, there are unique methods that can play to your strengths.

    By recognising your natural tendencies and employing these strategies, women can network effectively in a way that feels both comfortable and rewarding.

Tune in to discover how to make networking work for you.

    • The importance of self-awareness - understanding who you are naturally, how you show up and what environments are best for you will help you determine which networking strategies are best for you.
    • How to look for opportunities to network as an introvert - how to conduct initial research and experiment to learn the people that you want to get connected with and build a relationship with.
