In this new episode, we're going to talk about career change with Anastasia Attiki, Transformation Coach.  We'll discuss her career change from marketing to teaching and finally coaching, why a successful career change needs to starts from the inside out, and the secret to overcome limiting beliefs and self-sabotage. 

Anastasia started her professional life with a career in marketing, but soon realized that wasn't the right environment for her. As a sensitive person, she needed something meaningful that helped people improve their lives.

She entered the world of education where she spent a decade teaching in Further Education. It was far more fulfilling and often rewarding, but she knew she wasn't quite there yet. Like most people, she didn't do enough research before she jumped into a new career and chose something 'safe'. But she knew her life purpose laid elsewhere. After taking some time to study several techniques and work out what was best for herself, in 2012 took the plunge and became a coach.

In this episode we're going to talk about career change with Chris Whitfield, Founder of Miscarriage for Men. We will discuss his military career change from Naval Aviator in the Royal Navy to Operations and Compliance Manager in the civilian world, and what took him to create Miscarriage for men. 

After Chris and his wife Jade suffered a miscarriage in February 2021, and on the back of this, Chris realized that there was very little support or anywhere to turn to for men, who were going through the agony of miscarriage. Whilst a lot of sites offer advice, the majority was tailored towards women (and rightly so) but men will choose to hide this emotion rather than speak up about their emotional state. Miscarriage for men is a community that allows men to release their emotions and see stories from men in a similar scenario as them and let them know they are not alone.

In this episode, I am meeting Abi Blears. We are discussing how she managed to change her career successfully, from professional actress to massage therapist and finally dating coach, matchmaker and online dating specialist. 
Abi's career change happened after she started questioning if acting was the right career for her.  At the same time, her mum fell ill and soon passed away. Losing her main cheerleader and the person that was inspiring her to be an actress made it clear that acting was not for her anymore.  
One night, while watching the UK dating programme "First dates" she started to think if "matchmaking" could have been an actual profession and realised that it would have felt amazing to help people find love. 
Abi is one of the few UK based dating coaches who are certified in science-based coaching with the Matchmaking Institute NYC. She uses research-based strategies to help people to prepare themselves for long-term monogamous commitments and provide bespoke coaching tailored to her client’s individual needs.

In this episode we're going to meet Marylin Rebelo.  We'll discuss how she managed to change her career successfully, from media marketing communication to "marriage preparation and celebration", and the wider challenges of transitioning career.  You can discover more about Marylin by visiting her website.

In her words: " I consider myself to be someone who accompanies and who creates. The terms "officiant", "celebrant" or "master of secular ceremonies" are often used to describe my profession. They don’t really reflect all of my work but mainly illustrate its outcome.
In my view, it all starts with meaningful guidance. One that prepares you for your marriage in the sense of your marital life and not just the wedding day. One that takes the time to think about your story and connect to it. Thus leading to the creation of an extraordinary moment enhanced by carefully chosen words and conveyed emotions to be always cherished by you and your loved ones".

In this episode, I am going to meet Nina Grunfeld, British writer, journalist, public speaker and entrepreneur, Founder and CEO of Life Clubs and Life Clubs at Work. We'll discuss her inspirational career change story, fear of change, and tools and resources to overcome it. Be sure to listen all the way through for the details!

As a child, Nina wanted to be a policewoman and throw men over her shoulder. She never became one, nor did she threw any men over her shoulder. 
She was very underconfident for most of her life and, it was only in her late forties - when she studied coaching - that she became confident. 

She went from being a graphic designer to author of over 10 how-to books and creator of the highly successful Nanny Knows Best brand with its own BBC1 television series. 
With the birth of her fourth child, Nina felt the need to turn her lifelong ‘hobby’ of helping individuals discover their purpose in life into a career, so she did change career again and created Life Clubs.

In this episode Parmjit Basra is guest of The Career Changers and is sharing his inspirational career change story, going from a failed business to the discovery of Raja Yoga Meditation and a new career.

When he first attended a Raja Yoga meditation class 15 years ago, it was because his wife kept insisting it would do him some good.  He had been in business with his father, and a downturn in the economy meant they had to fold. Seven years on, the aftermath of settling financial commitments had ground him down to a point where he was feeling very stressed. 

His reluctance was based on the assumption: “How can meditation fix real problems?” but he instantly felt the benefit.  The meditation enabled him to think more clearly, and what he learned from the teachings reminded him that he had choices, and he had to take responsibility for those choices.

Today Parmjit Basra is a student and teacher of Raja Yoga Meditation. He has many years of experience of facilitating courses, talks and seminars on self-development to a variety of audiences.
