The process of change……For sure, this can become an interesting series of actions, which can force you to think about what is necessary to achieve some new order in your life.
Often times, change can get the best of us and put fear in the blood stream. This, of course, elevates stress which can impede your ability to move forward, take action and exercise the right thought patterns to keep a clear eye on the road ahead.
Looking to shift your career direction and create new professional results will, under the best of circumstances, take time and patience. It also requires having a ‘plan’ in place that will dictate your point of view and allow you to get your head around the skills you currently have and how to utilize them as you move to intersect what you currently have and what you want to do. Remember – all skills are transferrable. ALL SKILLS. Don’t ever let anyone try and tell you otherwise. There is so much value in your skill sets and if you present yourself well, if you market yourself well and if you BRAND yourself properly, you will be able to daisy chain all your skills and make the next place recognize that. It’s your added value they are after – so make sure they get it.
And, for many, this process of professional conversion can just be so overwhelming; it becomes difficult to find the clear path to follow.
There is no shame in asking for help. If the sightline is blurry, it is difficult to see.
Sometimes some friendly or professional Triage is just what you need. Consulting with an outsider can offer a 3rd eye to help you get clarity and a proper perspective.
