The Network Playbook for Your Next Career Move with Luca Signoretti
Are you feeling stuck? Have the last few years left you with itchy feet, questioning your career path and wondering what's next? You are not alone. Many professionals are currently re-evaluating their futures, but making a major career pivot is terrifying and fraught with risk.
In this episode from the archive, Andy Lopata is joined by his regular guest Luca Signoretti to provide a practical playbook for navigating this critical transition. They reveal why the very first thing most people do—telling their network "I'm looking for a job"—is the biggest mistake you can make.
This is a masterclass in leveraging your relationships the right way. Discover how to use your network for strategic research, identify roles you've never considered, and get the honest feedback you need (not just the validation you want). Learn how to manage the transition, rebrand yourself, and ensure your next step is a leap forward, not a leap into the unknown.
Key Takeaways
3 Actionable Insights
Conduct a "Blind Spot" Audit with Your Network: Create three lists: What you're good at, What you love doing, Your ideal work environment. Share these lists with a diverse range of contacts and ask them, "What roles in your world look like this?" This uncovers hidden opportunities you would never have found on your own.
Align Your Options with Your Values: Before making any decision, be crystal clear on your top 5-7 core values (e.g., family time, autonomy, creativity). When an opportunity arises, ruthlessly check if it aligns with those values.
Build a Network That's One Step Ahead: Intentionally cultivate relationships with people who are already where you want to be. These individuals provide invaluable role modeling, support, and context, making your transition into a new field smoother and more successful.
