Episode 42: If the thought of changing careers feels like the thought of losing yourself, this episode is for you. Career change Coach Dana Stevens explores why so much of our identity gets wrapped up in our job title, particularly when we have committed to a career for decades, and what to do about it when it is time to change. 

In this episode you will learn:

  • Why leaving a career that has been central to your identity involves real grief, and why that matters
  • The personal story of leaving the BBC and what the identity loss felt like the first time Dana changed careers
  • The second career change, leaving a Head of role, and what was different about it because of what Dana had learned between the two
  • What upgrading your identity looks like, and why what you build on the other side is almost always richer than what you left behind
