In this episode, I am talking about opportunity cost. The decision that you may be making about staying in your current role,  could be costing you more than you think. 

What you will learn: 

• The average person spends 90,000 at work in their lifetime, so it is important to make that time count
• When you are saying yes to one thing, you are saying no to something else
• The power and importance of doing things differently, so that you can have the career that you really want. 
• Why these uncertain times offer a good opportunity to reconsider your approach to your career goals.

I often have conversations with people who want to make a career change because they are not happy where they are and have been in their existing role a long time.   They stay where they are because they think that to start a new career and 'work their way up' again will mean taking a pay cut. This means they get stuck and don't move forward.

In this episode I explain how and why you don't need to take a pay cut to make a career transition.

In this episode you will learn: 

• The importance of understanding your value
• How to leverage your experience and understand your transferrable skills
• How to negotiate your salary with confidence and self-belief

This is a milestone episode and I am so so excited to have reached episode 100!! 

I share a lot about career change on this show, so I thought it would be great to pull back the curtain on my experiences with career changes over the past 8 years. 

I want to share with you the decisions that I made and the lessons that I learned with each of the following transitions: 

1.  Qualifying as a corporate lawyer 

2. Launching a business (and a portfolio career)

3. Leaving my first law firm to join another 

4. Moving into an in-house legal counsel role at an international company 

5. Working as a legal consultant

6. Joining a start-up in the professional development / coaching industry 

I have developed professionally so much over the past 6 years. I am nowhere close to the type of person I was when we first started this journey. Tune in to hear my biggest takeaways and lessons.

In this episode you will learn: 

• Why jumping onto the job boards is not a good plan
