#42: 5 Powerful Ways To Take Control Of Your Career Without Changing Companies

Jun 26, 2025

Thinking about a new direction in your career — but don’t know if your boss will back it? Unsure if the opportunity even exists internally?

If you’ve been wrestling with these questions, you’re not alone.

This is a common challenge I hear from high-achieving leaders who’ve accomplished a lot — yet feel like they’ve hit the ceiling in their current company or team.

Last week, I spoke to a group of global leaders and one of them asked these exact questions. It’s a BIG topic I didn’t have time to fully explore on the call, so I wanted to dive deeper into it with you today.

In this episode, I’m unpacking how to take ownership of your next career move — without always needing to walk away from your current organisation.

You’ll learn:

  • Two common misconceptions that keep high-achievers stuck or lead them to leave their employers too soon
  • The first step to take ownership of your next move — which often reveals you DON’T need to change companies, only your approach
  • How to communicate your goals and position your development as a win-win, so you gain the support of your boss
  • Practical ways to explore internal career paths, so you can have greater visibility of what’s possible within the business
  • What to do when your manager doesn’t support your goals — so you stay in control and futureproof your career

This episode is a MUST listen before you update your resume or start job searching. So hit play now — and let’s dive in!
