Mindset Career Coach Barbara Ellen Leicht here, thanks so much for stopping by!!

It’s excellent to embrace the possibility of a career pivot, however if you are high-achieving … it’s likely you may be overwhelmed. Which can stop you in your tracks, yet feeling overwhelmed is exactly why we may need to pivot!

As a Mindset Career Coach who’s been practicing for over 10 years with her MSEd, and who has successfully career pivoted while navigating multiple invisible disabilities, I empower you to go from overwhelmed to over it! Try these 3 steps:

  1. Affirm every single day that this is possible … we have a Credit Journal in our Work Smart Self Care Guide to nourish this

  2. Surround yourself with images + stories of people who have career pivoted in spite of life obstacles … you can read a bit about my story on becareerdevelopment.com

  3. Start small!!! … Simply brainstorm organizations and job titles that align with your core goals and values—you know: the ones that will support your work life balance—and let yourself dream!

Don’t even worry if these organizations hire for what you want to do, or if you’re unsure about being qualified for the job you want. That’s where career coaching—and a healthy dose of transferrable skills—supports you!! Recently, through customized coaching, I helped a client career pivot within 3 months, landing above her target metrics!!!

Believe in you + cheers to being your best you! ✨

Pssst: earrings + sweater are local!! 💗 love that #locallove #shoplocal lifestyle
