75 Stuck in Your Career? Stop Asking “What Should I Do Next?”

Stuck in Your Career? Stop Asking “What Should I Do Next?”

If you know you don’t want to do this for another 10 years, but you’ve got no clue what you want instead, this episode is for you.

I gave myself three years to work out what I wanted to do next in my career.

Six months later, I was made redundant.

Not quite the plan.

In this episode, I’m taking you back to the moment I realised I’d been building my career on borrowed ground and what happened when the decision I thought I had three years to make was suddenly made for me.

We’re talking about that restless space in between: when you know you’ve outgrown where you are, but you can’t quite see what comes next.

And I’m sharing the question I wish I’d asked myself much sooner:

What skills does my future need?

Because you don’t need to have your whole career change figured out before you start moving. You can start career crafting now.

You’ll hear:

• Why being good at your job doesn’t necessarily mean it still fits you

• How redundancy changed the way I think about career security

• How career crafting and portfolio careers can open up possibilities you might not have considered

• Why I started developing the skills my future needed, rather than only the ones my employer wanted

• The question to ask yourself when you’re stuck thinking, “What the fuck do I do next?”
