When your career is no longer fulfilling, it's time to explore how to switch it or ditch it, says author, human resources expert and executive coach Dr. Shelley Cameron, who joins us to illuminate the path to success and work-life balance. Dr. Cameron unpacks her empowering book, "Your Career: Ditch It or Switch It," which not only provides insight into the success strategies of African American and Caribbean American leaders but also doubles as a practical workbook for your own journey. If you're at a crossroads in your career, seeking to navigate through the complexities of leadership, or simply searching for a blueprint to self-directed achievement, tune in. 

Dr. Cameron says: “The top signs to identify when it is time to leave your job:

• You lack passion—that fired-up feeling you had when you started 
• You are miserable every morning and dread going to work 
• Your company is sinking
• You really dislike the people you work with or your boss
• You are consistently stressed, negative, or unhappy at work
• Your skills are not being tapped
• You have been passed over for promotion or more challenging assignments
• Your job duties have changed or increased, but your pay has not.  

If you identify with any of these signs, it might be time to ditch that job!”

Dr. Cameron explains the decision-making process necessary to determine the right moment to make a career switch and the strategic steps necessary to ensure a smooth transition.
