In this episode, we chat with friend of the podcast and  executive coach Alex, who transitioned from a PhD program to coaching and consulting in the corporate world. We discuss 'cocooning', feeling 'stuck', and finding the resources within and around you. Alex shares what 'sorting it out' looks like for people evaluating a career transition, identifying sources of energy, and taking that first step towards change. We end by discussing what 'ready' for a career transition looks like, and mentorship versus coaching (e.g. your board of directors) from a certified coach perspective!
