Stay ConnectedYou’re not totally happy with your career (obviously!) You also know that there “has to be something out there that’s better.” That hope that you can find meaningful and fulfilling work, that also pays you well, has led you here!
This is the show that provides the inspiration, tools, and roadmaps to move from where you are to work that matters to you and uniquely fits your strengths and talents.

When you think about leaving your current company you likely imagine one of two scenarios — 1. Movie-worthy visions of lighting the office on fire, while flipping the bird, on the way out the door or 2. Your team branding you as an unforgivable enemy because you lit the office on fire and flipped them the bird without looking back 🙃
But leaving a job doesn't have to mean burning bridges. You can escape your current job and find a much more fulfilling role without leaving your team or organization in a lurch. Think of this approach to a career transition as building bridges, not burning them.
Scott shares actionable advice on how to approach your boss when you decide you need to make a change— including how to plan the meeting and exactly what to say in the conversation. He also gives examples of how to exit a company in the best way possible.
Leaving a job can be done in a way that benefits everyone involved. It all comes down to how you approach those bridges (hint: leave the lighter fluid at home!)

A career change is not permanent. You may be thinking, "Of course I know that!" But it's a different story when you've put tons of hard work, time and effort into making a career change only for it not to pan out. *insert exasperated sigh 😩
However, when this happened to Michal, her reaction was excitement. She had gone into her initial career change with the mindset that at some point, she would likely grow into something else. And that simple mindset shift changed everything! ✨
This bonus episode is part 2 of Michal's story. You can hear Michal's original career change episode here 👉 550: Career Change Identity Crisis: Who Am I If I Leave This Job?
Luckily, her second change ended up being a breeze compared to the first. Why? Well, thanks to all of that work she had put into her career change the first time around Michal knew exactly what she needed to feel fulfilled in a new role— so all she needed to do was find the perfect fit!
Hear how Michal went from academia to a research role, and then to working for the federal government. She even gives great strategies on how to customize your resume during the job search! This episode gives great insight into how to make each iteration of your career better and better!
Have you ever felt like your career was on autopilot? Or that you were getting so far into your career that you felt like you couldn't leave without starting over? This is what happened to Michal. She spent years getting her doctorate and when the time came to get a job in academia, she did it without thinking… because that's just what you do! Right? Right???
Unfortunately, doing things the normal way, without question, put Michal in the same place many others are — In a job that isn't a great fit and doesn't particularly line up with what you want out of life!
Hear how Michal untangled her identity from her longstanding career and found a new fulfilling career that aligned with her authentic self. Also, learn 5 internal obstacles of career change and discover how to navigate a career change without losing yourself!

What's the best way to determine if a different role or industry is right for you? Many people believe you must take huge risks to figure this out, but that's not the case. Career experiments are the answer! These are the opposite of the tactical career change approaches you often hear about, yet far more effective. We are going to cover one of the most highly effective types of career experiments today: test driving conversations. This experiment will allow you to meet new people, quickly test new careers, and pave the way for creating your very own role custom-fit to you.
To demonstrate how this experiment works firsthand, Scott walks through Laura Morrison's career change (episode 213), and explains step-by-step how she test drove conversations that led to finding a role that was perfect for her.
Laura's Career Change Episodes:
Part 1 - Switching Industries Without Compromising Your Career's Trajectory
Part 2 (Where are they now) - Being Happy in an Exhausting Job

But something finally clicked for him when he realized his friends and family were always coming to him for career advice.
