Introducing Catapult Your Career with Michael Glassock

In this first ever episode of Catapult Your Career, Michael talks through the reasons for starting the podcast, the types of conversation you can expect to hear and the way he fell into the world of Coaching initially. WHO AM I? In a nutshell, I coach ambitious millennials through successful career transitions. I do this by helping them gain increased self awareness in their interests, skills, values and network and build a comprehensive action plan to allow then to achieve their goals. Roughly 3.3 billion people in the world have a job. How many people do you think love their job? Various studies when conducted report that only a staggering 20% people actually love their current role. It's no surprise then that so many people including myself have experienced the 'Quarter Life Crisis' described as a period of uncertainty & questioning that typically occurs when people feel trapped, uninspired and disillusioned during their mid-20s to early 30s. HOW CAN I HELP? I work with committed individuals to reduce the overwhelm in changing careers so that you can focus on what matters most to you. Pursuing a fulfilling and rewarding career. I do this by working alongside you to get clear on your personal values and life purpose, understand what’s important for you to get out of your career, identify your strengths and areas of development, generate potential career paths & create and set milestones in your life that need to change in order to reach your goal.
