46: 10 Career Transition Pitfalls (And How To Avoid Them) Part 2
Welcome back to the second part of our discussion on the common pitfalls women encounter when navigating career transitions. In this episode, we explore 5 more crucial mistakes to avoid when making your next career move. Whether you're planning a major career pivot, switching industries, or contemplating a corporate exit to start your own business, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you avoid the most common traps.
If you missed the first part of this discussion, don't worry—you can jump in here and catch episode 45 later. Together, these episodes will equip you with the knowledge and strategies you need to make empowered, strategic decisions that align with your values and long-term goals.
5 Pitfalls Discussed:
- Not Planning Enough: Career transitions require thoughtful, strategic planning that goes beyond just financial considerations. Ensure you account for your emotional well-being, healthcare needs, and the logistics of your downtime.
- Believing the Decision Is Final: No career decision is ever truly final. Instead of worrying about making the "right" choice, focus on what feels right for this season of your life. Remember, every move is an opportunity for growth and learning.
- Holding onto Others' Expectations: Let go of the external pressures and societal expectations that do not serve your true desires. Your career decisions should align with your own values, not someone else’s.
- Not Living Your Values: A misalignment between your work and your personal values can lead to long-term dissatisfaction. Evaluate your current role against your core beliefs to ensure harmony in your professional and personal life.
- Making Decisions Out of Fear: Fear can be paralyzing, but don't let it dictate your career moves. Use tools like the Career Compass to make decisions rooted in logic, intuition, and your true aspirations—not fear.
Next Steps:
- Reflect on Your Career Transition Plan: Take some time to evaluate your current career transition plan. Are you considering all aspects—emotional, financial, and logistical? If not, adjust your plan accordingly or seek professional guidance through coaching. (You can book a call here: www.calendly.com/karinfreelandaviles)
- Challenge Your Beliefs: Identify any limiting beliefs that might be holding you back, such as the fear of making the wrong decision. Seek out proof that these beliefs are unfounded and replace them with empowering thoughts.
- Align with Your Values: Conduct a values check. Are your current career choices in alignment with your core values? If not, it might be time for a change.
- Embrace Fear and Move Forward: Don’t let fear stop you from pursuing your dreams. Use the Career Compass tool to help clarify your options and make decisions with confidence. You can download it for free at karinfreeland.com/career-compass.
