Episode 6: Career Pivot Without Starting Over – A Strategic Guide to Changing Careers
Thinking about making a career change but terrified of starting over? You’re not alone. The good news? You don’t have to throw everything away and start from scratch. A career pivot is about strategically leveraging what you already have—your skills, experience, and network—to transition into a new role or industry without losing momentum.
In today’s episode, we’ll break down:
✅ What a career pivot really is (and why it’s not a restart)
✅ How to reframe your experience so it works for you, not against you
✅ The secret to networking without feeling awkward or salesy
✅ When (and if) you need additional education or certifications
✅ A 6-step action plan to create your career pivot strategy
I’ll also share real-life success stories from clients who made strategic pivots—without a pay cut, extra degrees, or years of starting over.
🎧 Whether you’re stuck in a job that no longer excites you or simply curious about what’s possible, this episode is packed with practical, no-fluff advice to help you make a confident career move.
