Our latest series is all about Redefining Careers and this second episode looks at the power a 'lightbulb moment' can have on the choices and options that open up to us. We discuss just how many skills are transferable and therefore we can keep empowered in the knowledge that you can shift industries or levels if you want to. Your technical expertise will only get you so far, at some point you have to be able to work with people, and this lightbulb moment can liberate ourselves to realise we always have a choice.

By sharing our observations on the career conversations we see happening in coaching and on workshops, we discuss practical steps to break the HERD mentality that might be holding you back. Take 5 mins to reflect on what makes you Happy, get Exposure to remind yourself of the big wide world that is out there, Realise your amazing skillset and then Do one thing that starts a chain of events. It might take you 10 years to arrive, but that is better than 10 years stuck full of regret. There is no one path, or one type of person who is more able to succeed at work than another. We all do it in our own way and it is never too late or too early to make the decision to make yourself happy in the work that you do.
