BE Agile: Career Pivots are Possible!

~ But how do I actually 🌱 Grow + Pivot Careers? ~

  1. First, A career pivot is 100% attainable

  2. Second, long-term it is more lucrative

  3. Third, the answer is quite simple!!!

✨ Transferrable Skills ✨

We all have them. They are the tasks we do + characteristics we have that apply to many jobs, such as:

  1. Coordinating

  2. Problem solving

  3. Decision making

  4. Communicating

  5. Collaborating

We’re just not always aware of them. Or if we are, we don’t always have the confidence to market them.

✨ Enter your Mindset Career Coach. That’s Me! ✨

Coaching with me looks like unearthing (that’s a term I created) your core accomplishments 💗 The everyday hidden gems you do, without even realizing it … similar to blinking + breathing. 

✨ Think about it: what happens when you stop blinking + breathing???

If you stop doing the autopilot—yet very significant—core work that you do everday: everything else stops too.

✨ Interested in practicing a bit now? Excellent! ✨

🌱 Brainstorm 5 core skills you have

🌱 Look at a job description of interest

🌱 Find the synonyms 

That’s you 1st step in unearthing Transferrable Skills. For example?? As a former teacher and successful career pivot’er

✨ I had to rebrand and speak like professionals within my new field, so:

🌱 Facilitate -> Instruct

🌱 Differentiate -> Customize or Tailor

🌱 Collaborate -> Teamwork

✨ Guess what else?? This makes customizing the resume easier too! But that’s a #ProTip for another day.

Opportunities await! ✨ Let’s chat
