TRP 235: Navigating your Career with Clarity, Courage, and Confidence with Amy Mallow

In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, host Scott Love speaks with Amy Malo, professional certified coach, about navigating career transitions with clarity, courage, and confidence. Amy, who has extensive experience in both internal and third-party legal recruiting, shares insights on how professionals can take control of their careers rather than simply following opportunities that come their way. She explains that career inflection points—moments when professionals feel misaligned with their work—are natural and should be seen as opportunities for reassessment and growth. Key topics include recognizing the signs of an inflection point, conducting self-assessments to identify core values, key skills, and ideal work environments, and creating a career plan similar to a business strategy. Amy discusses the importance of choosing rather than feeling trapped in a career path, reframing career decisions with intentionality, and managing external pressures from family or societal expectations. She also shares actionable strategies for professionals considering a lateral move, including how to evaluate opportunities, align career choices with long-term goals, and avoid the pitfalls of counteroffers. This episode provides a structured approach to career management for professionals seeking fulfillment, growth, and long-term success.
