Making bold career moves without certainty - with Dr. Parth Shah The Rewriters
-
- Careers
Welcome to Episode 7 of The Rewriters.
The Rewriter we feature in this episode is Dr. Parth Shah. Parth has an extraordinary career story and an impressive history of career rewrites. He is an Optometrist by trade and a Trustee of the Board of the College of Optometrists, the UK’s professional body for optometrists. Earlier in his career he worked in academia as a lecturer and clinical supervisor, he completed his PhD, pivoted into the corporate world at a strategy consultancy, pivoted out of that into self-employment, founding his practice and along the way worked in Premier League Football and got an Executive MBA at Cambridge Judge Business School.
In this often philosophical conversation, Parth explains how he makes such bold career moves without certainty or bags of confidence. We discuss imposter syndrome and also delve into the need to create space in our lives and communities to allow deeper conversation, connection and empathy – particularly with those we disagree with.
Parth refers to the following books during the episode – Working Identity by Herminia Ibarra and Range by David Epstein. Connect with Parth on LinkedIn and learn more about his work at https://scottstheopticians.com
