The Career Studio: Trusting yourself with Sarah Sternberg

After nine months of maternity Sarah was looking towards returning to work with trepidation. There had been some significant changes while she was out and she had had a history of parachuting out of jobs quickly when things weren’t exactly perfect. She was worried she’d do that again and potentially end up in the wrong place. She wanted to be thoughtful and considerate about the next phase of her career but she wasn’t sure exactly how. Today she trusts herself to navigate bumps and transitions because she knows what she wants. She’s clear on where she’s going professionally and has shaped her current environment to support her growth in this direction. She’s unwound from people pleasing, is no longer tying her sense of peace and happiness to goals in the future, and is connected to her emotional world to help her make smart, aligned decisions.

In this episode we discuss: 

• How Sarah restructured her career to suit her strengths, interests, and priorities
• How she leveraged her network to create opportunities and ongoing support
• Detaching her happiness from finding a new role and learning to create it now in the midst of her own evolution
• Unwinding from people-pleasing and how this can get you off track during the interview process
• The importance of connecting to your emotional world as part of your work life to help you make good decisions
