How do you know when it is time to pivot or be pivoted in your career? Join us as we speak with Jenn Smith, founder of Flourish Careers as she shares her thoughts on how to make that transition when you are ready to pivot or if you are being pivoted. We spend 90,000 + hours working in our careers, and it is so important to be doing what you love. During our conversation Jenn shares how to reconnect from the heart as you navigate the complexities of transitioning, being aware of the energy you are generating and the impact you have on those you lead.Value alignment is so important and to break that down between your core values and your lifestyle values. To set yourself up by asking yourself what is next in your career? What industry aligns with where I want to be? Do they share the same values that are important to me or am I just drifting along because it is easier? What is the role I want to play and how do my skills transfer to this role? How do I want to impact this industry? She suggests taking an energy audit, find the patterns or clues that support you with what brings you joy, how does it align with who you are being. And that having only one career is not the goal in today’s world. Seeing the many possibilities available to you is so important. There is a broken system when it comes to how resumes are received, and AI helps to filter but when you receive 1000’s there is no way to get back to every person who is applying so what is a person to do? Tap into the “Hidden Job Market” – building a strong and vibrant network is key. If you are looking for a role, determine who you might know in that organization and if you don’t know someone make it a point to get to know the people that work there. Find out what the company is like and how they operate to determine if it is the right fit for you. Finding a job is a full -time job and requires intention. Such a great conversation and Jenn shares so many stories and ways to support your career pivot. She also hosts her podcast “ The Flourish Careers” podcast with helpful tips and resources.
