In today's episode of the 'Career Change Maker' podcast I talk about how to validate your career change ideas and avoid making the wrong move. I wanted to cover this as I see a lot of people holding themselves back from making a career transition because they are fearful of making a mistake. Today you'll learn practical strategies that you can implement so you can validate the ideas you're considering. What you will learn:How to look at your experiences differently - As Nelson Mandela said: "I never lose. I either win or I learn". We learn our biggest lessons when times are challenging. How to shift your perspective around making a wrong move - You can always change your mind and you can always course correct. You have to 'do' in order for you to move forward though. Taking action is what gets you to the right place. How to validate your ideas - Gathering the right data is key. If you can form a clear idea backed with evidence and data that proves that it's a good step to take, you'll feel much more confident about making a transition. Episode Highlights:02.30: A fear of making the wrong move often comes because we don't want to waste time and we worry that the decision has to be final.04.59: Making a decision is never final. You can always move, shift, pivot and course correct. There are always opportunities to change. 06.55: Validating your ideas is an important piece in getting unstuck. Without this, changing career can feel risky because what you're doing right now is what you know and feel comfortable with. 8.43: The top two methods for validating your career change ideas taken from my Career Clarity Accelerator: Golden nugget conversations and test driving your ideas.16:58: Gathering data and making a data driven decision allows you to be strategic in your career move. 17:53: Lack of clarity is often what holds us back.
