    31: ‘I’m Not Good at Selling Myself’ - The Thought That Keeps Public Sector Leaders Stuck

    Sign up here to get new episodes straight into your inbox.  There’s a sentence I hear often in career change conversations with public sector leaders. It usually comes a little hesitantly.  “I’m just… not very good at selling myself.” And when that thought is there, a lot of things don’t happen: You don’t speak about what you want. You don’t share what you’re capable of. You don’t lack experience or value. But you hesitate to shout about it because you don’t want to come across as bragging, pushy or - God forbid - salesy.  The interesting part is this: most public sector leaders are unusually good at communicating.  You do it when… managing different internal and external stakeholdersbuilding relationships across sectors, maybe even languages and cultures, and navigating complex and often difficult conversations So the issue isn’t your ability. It’s how you perceive the idea of “selling yourself”.  Let’s talk about that. *** Yvonne Davidis helps public sector leaders develop exciting career options that align with who they are now and how they want to evolve in future.  With 20+ years of moving countries, working for the UK and Denmark across three continents, plus professional coaching certifications, Yvonne is a unique specialist for leaders in the public sector considering their next chapter.

    30: Is Your Public Sector Career Still a Fit?

The salary is not great, but the benefits are ok and the stability is much better than in other sectors. But I feel like I’m pretending. I push myself to show up the way I used to – positively, enthusiastically, can-do attitude. But it doesn’t come naturally to me anymore.  I can’t imagine doing this for the next 5, let alone 10 years. I feel like I've plateaued.”  And then they said something that really stayed with me: “I want to feel inspired again. I want work where I can bring my full self to the table. Where I can use my strengths, do good work and see the impact I’m having. Is that too much to ask?” If you’re listening to this and something in you is saying, “That’s me…” Then this episode is for you.  *** Yvonne Davidis helps public sector leaders develop exciting career options that align with who they are now and how they want to evolve in future.  With 20+ years of moving countries, working for the UK and Denmark across three continents, plus professional coaching certifications, Yvonne is a unique specialist for leaders in the public sector considering their next chapter.

You’ve been in your public sector career for quite some time now, and are wondering what’s next.  You could do your job in your sleep. You are tired of going through the motions. Or yet another restructure or change programme.  You know something needs to change for you to feel alive again.  You have some ideas, questions, maybe even a sense of what you want next in your career and life.  And… you also know: “I should probably talk to some people.” It’s not like you don’t have a network. You do. In fact, an extended one. Both professionally and personally.  But something holds you back.   You might think: “I don’t want to bother them.”  “But I’m not asking them for a job, so what’s the point?” “What if word gets out?”  So you don’t reach out.  And without realising it, another year goes by... In this episode, I talk about a mindset shift to help you overcome your concerns.  And I share 6 questions (out of the 14 questions I use with my clients) you can ask in your conversations to get valuable data for your career shift.  *** Yvonne Davidis helps public sector leaders develop exciting career options that align with who they are now and how they want to evolve in future.  With 20+ years of moving countries, working for the UK and Denmark across three continents, plus professional coaching certifications, Yvonne is a unique specialist for leaders in the public sector considering their next chapter.

There’s a phrase out there that always makes me cringe a little.  “Secret sauce.” You’ve probably seen or heard it before. The one thing that will change everything - IF you pay for it. I’ve never really liked that idea. Because when you’re sitting there, wondering what on earth to do next with your career, the last thing you need is another magic solution being dangled in front of you. You need something practical. Not the answer, but something you can actually use. So today, I’m going to share with you one of the most powerful coaching questions I use with my clients. Because I’ve seen what happens when people actually sit with it. It shifts something.  And if you let it, it might just shift something FOR YOU too.

    27: When Public Sector Leaders Lose Motivation for A Career They Once Loved

    Find the full transcript at https://spacetoshiftyourcareer.com/27 There is this moment public sector leaders don’t talk about a lot.  It’s not burnout in the way we usually think about it.  You're not exhausted from working too many hours. Not overwhelmed because you can’t cope.  You’re experienced. Trusted. Respected. You know what you're doing. But something has shifted for you. Maybe you find yourself sitting in meetings, listening to conversations you’ve heard a hundred times before…  Working on initiatives that once felt important…  And then this questions pops up in your mind: “What’s the point of this?”  That thought is uncomfortable.  Because this is the role you once wanted. Maybe even worked really hard to get into.  So why does it suddenly feel… empty?

You know which tool to reach for when things get messy. You’ve solved problems others couldn’t. Now imagine you walk into a completely different environment…  And suddenly... none of your tools are labelled anymore. They’re all still there. But they don’t look quite the same in this new context.  So you hesitate.  You think: “Maybe I need a whole new set of tools for this.” But what if that’s not true?  What if the real challenge isn’t that you lack the tools…  But that no one has shown you how to use them differently? That’s exactly what I see happening with public sector leaders considering a career change. In this episode, I want to help you recognise 3 powerful skills you already have – and how they can carry you through your career shift. *** Yvonne Davidis helps public sector leaders develop exciting career options that align with who they are now and how they want to evolve in future.  With 20+ years of moving countries, working for the UK and Denmark across three continents, plus professional coaching certifications, Yvonne is a unique specialist for leaders in the public sector considering their next chapter.

    25: Develop Your Own Metrics to Evaluate Alternative Career Options

    Find the full transcript at https://spacetoshiftyourcareer.com/25 Imagine you’re standing on a lookout, scanning the horizon with a pair of binoculars. At first, everything looks a bit blurry. So you adjust the focus.  Suddenly, certain things become sharp and clear… while others fade into the background. Now here’s the interesting part: What you see isn’t just about what’s out there. It’s about how you’ve adjusted the lens.  The same landscape… but a completely different view. When it comes to their career, many public sector leaders don’t realise they’re looking through a default lens.  They don’t realise that they can adjust their lens.  So they keep seeing the same kinds of roles. The same organisations. The same options. In this episode, I show you how to adjust your lens by creating your own career decision metrics. So you can evaluate your options with clarity and confidence. And notice new ones you might not have spotted before.

    24: 3 Uncertainty Traps for Public Sector Leaders Considering What Next

    Find the full transcript - and other resources - at https://spacetoshiftyourcareer.com/24 At some point in my work with public sector leaders exploring their next career move, someone always asks me, sometimes half-joking, sometimes half panicking: “What am I going to do with my life?” That is such a BIG question. And big questions feel HEAVY. Your career influences where you live, how much you earn, how you structure your days, the people you surround yourself with, and the impact you feel you you're making. Of course, it feels stressful not to have a clear answer. But when I sit with public sector leaders in that moment, I often notice the stress isn’t really about not knowing. It’s about what they THINK not knowing says about them.  In this episode, I talk about 3 uncertainty traps to avoid to help you feel more at ease with not-knowing. *** Yvonne Davidis helps public sector leaders develop exciting career options that align with who they are now and how they want to evolve in future.  With 20+ years of moving countries, working for the UK and Denmark across three continents, plus professional coaching certifications, Yvonne is a unique specialist for leaders in the public sector considering their next chapter.
