#58: From Confusion To Complete Clarity In A Brand New Portfolio Career
Are you already successful, but going round in circles trying to decide what’s next at this stage of your career?
Today we’re talking about how to find clarity on your direction — especially as a senior leader, when your options aren’t clear and career paths are no longer linear.
This episode is part of the ‘Career By Design’ case study series, where I give you an exclusive, behind the scenes look at my clients’ career transformations.
Out of respect to their employers or for confidentiality reasons, many leaders I work with choose to share their experiences anonymously. So my intention with this series is to show you there isn’t one definition or clear pathway to success — it’s about identifying what this looks like to YOU.
As with all the case studies in this series, there are 3 things these clients have in common which you can use to create a career on your terms too:
1. Clarity: Getting clear on what you want next in your career and why before attempting to change it.
2. Confidence: Managing your mindset and shifting the self-doubt which holds you back in your career to build confidence.
3. Career Strategy: Focusing on solving the right problem and knowing which strategies will get you the results you want at this stage of your career.
In this episode, you’ll hear how one client went from going round in circles for YEARS to having complete clarity on their career direction. You’ll learn the exact steps they took to move into an executive leadership role — and the benefits of pursuing a portfolio career.
You’ll learn:
- The biggest shift this client made and a counterintuitive approach which moved them from years of confusion to complete clarity on their career direction
- How to break through self-doubt and perfectionism as a senior leader, so you make yourself visible and back yourself for opportunities with confidence
- Specific strategies which helped this client step into an executive role, including the advantages of a portfolio path to reduce risk while building leadership capability
- Top takeaways you can apply right now to create a career on YOUR terms — even if you’ve reached the ceiling in your current company or profession and can’t see a clear next step
So hit play now — and let’s dive in!
