    21: The Flip Side of Loyalty for Public Sector Leaders Wondering What Next

    Find the full transcript at https://spacetoshiftyourcareer.com/21 Many public sector leaders feel guilty for wanting something different, even when their work no longer lights them up. They stay in roles not because they still love them. But because they feel loyal.  Loyal to the mission. Loyal to their team.  Loyal to the public sector. What if loyalty isn’t just something you owe your organisation, but something you owe yourself? In episode 21 of the Space To Shift Your Career podcast, we explore the flip side of loyalty.  And I talk about why being loyal to yourself might be the most important leadership decision you make. *** Yvonne Davidis helps Leaders in the Public Sector explore and develop exciting career options that align with who they are now and how they want to evolve in future.

Your ideal career: Aligns with who you are now and how you want to evolve in future Taps into your strengths, interests and passionsMakes you feel alive again And: is sustainable, in all dimensions of the word It’s easy to get excited about work on Mondays because what you do is right up your alley.

You allow yourself to make space to reconnect with yourself - and to think things through properly.  Give yourself permission to go on a journey to EXPLORE, DREAM and DISCOVER: Where you have come from.

    19: Tap Into Your Creativity To Explore New Career Options

    Find the full transcript at https://spacetoshiftyourcareer.com/19 As a public sector leader, you don’t make big decisions just based on vibes. You work with evidence.  You don’t just throw ideas around casually. You use frameworks, analysis, robust processes. So when I say: “Just tap into your creativity about your future…” you’ll probably think it sounds a bit ... fluffy.  But creativity isn’t about doing something vague or impractical. It’s an essential part of the exploration process.  It’s the phase where you step back and ask: What else could be possible?  Where you go wide before narrowing down.  Because if you don’t allow yourself to explore new ideas, you’ll only ever choose from the options you already know. And that’s exactly where a lot of us get stuck.  In this episode, I talk about why creativity is an essential tool for exploring exciting career options aligned with who you are now.  And I share 3 steps to help public sector leaders tap into their own creativity.  *** Yvonne Davidis helps Leaders in the Public Sector explore and develop exciting career options that align with who they are now and how they want to evolve in future.

    18: The ‘What If’ Spiral Keeping Public Sector Leaders Stuck

    Find the full transcript at https://spacetoshiftyourcareer.com/18  Have you ever noticed how old scripts stick around long after they’re useful? Like a template that’s been copied and pasted for years.  No one remembers any more who actually wrote it originally. But everyone keeps using it - because they’ve always used it. It once served a purpose. It reduced risk. Avoided embarrassment. Helped things run smoothly and efficiently. But over time, that familiar old template can turn into a handbrake. In this episode of Space to Shift Your Career, we’ll explore what happens when old templates shape your career decisions.  I’ll talk about the ‘What If’ script and how stories about failure - that many of us are still living by - can hold us back from going after what we actually want in our career and life. *** Yvonne Davidis helps Leaders in the Public Sector explore and develop exciting career options that align with who they are now and how they want to evolve in future.

    17: Why the Big New Career Idea Won't Just Arrive and What to Do Instead

    Find the full transcript at http://spacetoshiftyourcareer.com/17 As a public sector leader, you are used to working on wicked problems that don’t have easy answers. Think back to the last time you led through a complex piece of work in uncertain conditions.  You didn’t have the perfect brief. You and your team just got on with it.  You gathered information. You tested assumptions. And you adjusted as you went. And yet, when it comes to their own career, many public sector leaders do the opposite. They wait for clarity before acting. For certainty before experimenting. For the lightning-bolt that makes everything obvious. Are you waiting for that moment too? In this episode of the Space To Shift Your Career podcast, I talk about why that moment rarely comes – and what to do instead. *** Yvonne Davidis helps Leaders in the Public Sector explore and develop exciting career options that align with who they are now and how they want to evolve in future.

    16: When Global Forces Shake Up Your Public Sector Career

    Find the full transcript at https://spacetoshiftyourcareer.com/16  In the public sector, we’re trained to scan the horizon: New policy challenges. Political cycles. Economic trends. Resourcing needs. We’re used to a working environment where advisors give advice, decision makers decide, implementers implement. That’s just how it works, right?  But lately, it feels like the old certainties are gone.  Geopolitical and economic forces are challenging what we long took for granted.  Things that used to happen out there in the world are starting to feel closer to home. And for many public sector leaders, something unsettling is happening beneath the surface. A realisation that their career - the one they thought was stable, values-aligned, and relatively secure - may be more exposed than they ever imagined. Not because they did anything wrong. But because geopolitics, economics, and political priorities shifted. So today I want to ask you a simple but powerful question: If forces outside your control changed your role tomorrow, how prepared would you be?  In this episode, we’ll talk about how to take back agency over your career before you’re forced to react.  *** Yvonne Davidis helps Leaders in the Public Sector explore and develop exciting career options that align with who they are now and how they want to evolve in future.

    15: Why It's Time For Public Sector Leaders To Re-Define Success

    Get your FREE copy of the 'Re-Define Success' Workbook at https://SpaceToShiftYourCareer.com/15  Many of us entered work in the public sector with a strong sense of purpose and duty. We measured success by impact: how well we served the public, supported our teams, or upheld fairness and accountability. Over time, those external measures became deeply internalised: performance reviews, recognition, pay bands. They started to define us. And yet, the longer we stay, the more we notice a dissonance: that our own definition of success hasn’t been updated in years. If you’ve been in your public sector career for a while, this might be the moment for a “success definition review”.   A chance to ask: Are the measures you set for yourself still the right ones for who you’ve become today?  In this episode, I’ll share 6 powerful questions designed to help you re-define success in a way that honours your public sector background AND opens up new possibilities. *** Yvonne Davidis helps Leaders in the Public Sector explore and develop exciting career options that align with who they are now and how they want to evolve in future.

    14: What Will Your Future Contribution Be - Outside the Public Sector?

    Find the full transcript at SpaceToShiftYourCareer.com/14 As public sector leader, you witness how the world is shifting quickly. Long-term strategies like five-year career plans don’t hold up anymore.  But letting go of certainty doesn’t mean letting go of your desire to have impact. The reason you entered this work was clear: you wanted to solve big problems, make a difference, and contribute to something larger than yourself.  But here’s the challenge: once you’ve framed your impact in that way, it can feel like there are NO alternatives.  You ask yourself: where else could I possibly have this kind of influence? That belief - that your contribution is only valid at that scale, only meaningful when it’s national or global - can trap you.  It can hold you back from exploring alternative futures. It can keep you disconnected from things closer to home: where you live, and the people around you.  Imagine for a moment that impact has many levels. And you get to choose what matters most to you now. In this episode, we’ll uncover 3 layers to help you uncover how you want to contribute in future.  *** Yvonne Davidis helps Leaders in the Public Sector explore and develop exciting career options that align with who they are now and how they want to evolve in future.
