EP 139: Mid-Career Transitions: Risk or Opportunity?

The Bridge to Fulfillment

If you’ve often felt pulled toward making a career change, but think you’re just too deep in your current line of work to risk transitioning, you’re not alone.

For many women, mid-career transitions often feel too risky, but the truth is that the skills and experiences you’ve already gained in your position are actually adding more value to what you have to offer. With such an abundance of experience and knowledge to share, mid-career may even be the BEST time for you to make a change.

Today, Blake breaks down the barriers and debunks the most common myths around mid-career transitions. She uncovers the root of the fears that keep us stuck and shares why transitioning in the middle or later part of your career is not only common, but can be one of the absolute best times to do so.

It’s time to move past your fears and learn how to communicate the unique skill set that only you bring to the table.

Favorite Quotes:

1. We only know what we've seen and experienced. And if you've been in the same company, role, or industry your entire career, you're limited to what your experiences and knowledge have been.
2. You create the life you want by going after the possibility and the opportunity.
3. The risk isn't in creating change. The risk actually comes from staying in a path that doesn't align.
4. Opportunity comes when you seek help from someone who has been there and done that and been able to do the same for others.
