“You don’t need to know everything to make a move. You just need to know enough to begin.”
Zovig Garboushian shares honest, practical insights for anyone feeling restless in their career. How do you know when it’s time to leave your job or even your entire industry? Zovig may not be a career coach, but her experience advising professionals has shown her common signs that signal it might be time for a change.
From feeling undervalued or bored to sensing a misalignment with company values, Zovig outlines what to watch for when considering a career move. She acknowledges the fear and uncertainty that often keep us stuck and encourages listeners to break free from the “what if” scenarios that hold us back. Instead of seeing a career change as an all-or-nothing leap, she suggests starting small—creating a financial plan, seeking support from peers, and setting realistic steps forward.
This episode invites you to rethink your approach to career development. Are you staying out of comfort or fear of the unknown? Zovig’s perspective reminds us that sometimes a small step is all we need to get moving toward a career that truly excites us.
Quotes
- “If you’re bored, it might mean it’s time to go. Let me tell you, when I’m bored, that is my sign that what I am doing is done and I need to find a different way to approach what I’m doing or choose something else entirely.” (02:53 | Zovig Garboushian)
- “Your body will tell you what’s up. You feel it physically in your body. That might be a sign to leave.” (04:46 | Zovig Garboushian)
- “We assume that when we make a decision, it won’t work before we assume that it will. That’s a protective mechanism, because no one wants to get caught off guard by failure.” (12:39 | Zovig Garboushian)
- “Catastrophizing is a survival mechanism. When we’re in survival, we will do whatever we need to in order to feel safe, and sometimes that means sticking with something beyond its expiration date. But what if we're not in danger?” (13:16 | Zovig Garboushian)
- “You don’t need to know everything to make a move. You just need to know enough to begin.” (14:40 | Zovig Garboushian)
