October 23, 2023 Putting Yourself First: The Transition from Corporate Finance to TV presenter with Dr Sawsan Saad
In this episode, we cover:
Follow Your Passion: Sawsan Saad's journey highlights the importance of pursuing your own dreams and passions rather than conforming to the expectations of others, even if they are your family. She started her career in a field she didn't love to fulfill her family's expectations, but eventually, she realized the significance of following her true passion for media and sports.
Self-Belief is Key: Saad's story underscores the importance of self-belief. She emphasized that believing in yourself is crucial to making a significant career change. When she decided to become a TV presenter, she started by believing in her own abilities and marketing herself effectively. Confidence and self-belief are essential in overcoming challenges and achieving your goals.
Take Action and Embrace Uncomfortable Choices: Sometimes, taking that initial step out of your comfort zone is difficult, but it's crucial to break free from a career that doesn't fulfill you. In Sawsan's case, she took a bold step by resigning from her stable job to pursue her passion for TV presenting, even though it was uncomfortable at first. She encourages people to take small actions, engage in self-reflection, and embrace discomfort to work towards a more fulfilling career and life.
