BONUS EPISODE: Gaining Career Clarity: How to Define What You Really Want Next
Manage episode 494306081 series 3402064
In this bonus episode of Work It Like a Mum, I’m joined by brilliant career coach Kim Holland to help you get clear on your next steps, whether you're job hunting, thinking about a pivot, or simply feeling stuck.
Summer break is around the corner and while the pace of life slows down for many, it can be the perfect time to pause and check in with where you are in your career.
This is the first session of our Momentum Masterclass Series, a six-week programme designed to help you keep career growth and job search momentum going throughout the slower-paced summer months.
💡 We talk about:
- Why it’s so easy to lose sight of what you actually want
- How to reconnect with what energises you (and ditch what doesn’t)
- The importance of knowing your non-negotiables
- Building a foundation for a career that fits your life right now
✨ A few key takeaways:
- Get clear on what’s pushing you to make a change
- Fear, low confidence or uncertainty? Totally normal
- The biggest mistake: jumping into job boards too soon
- Instead, start with:
→ Who you are
→ What you need
→ What you can offer
We call this your Professional DNA and it’s the key to spotting the right opportunities (and ignoring the wrong ones).
If you’re ready to move forward with more focus, less stress, and a plan that actually fits your life, this one’s for you.
Stay motivated. Stay seen. Stay on track.
