    51: How to Look After Yourself on Your Career Change Journey - 5 Tips

But when you’re deep into exploring your next career move – allowing yourself to dream up your ideal scenario, exploring, testing and verifying ideas – it can start to feel like a LONG journey. Often, the path isn’t straight. It zigzags.  Sometimes you take a step sideways before you can take one forward. And when nothing seems to be moving, it’s tempting to just… stop.  Throw in the towel. Stay where you are. Because at least it’s familiar. And I get it. I see it in almost every conversation I have with experienced public sector leaders who are ready for something new.  So let's talk about how to look after yourself while you’re in the thick of it.  *** 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.

    50: Two Questions that Help Public Sector Leaders Rewrite their Career Story

    Send us Fan Mail Find the full transcript at https://spacetoshiftyourcareer.com/50 “I don’t really know how to describe myself anymore”, a public sector leader said this to me recently. On paper, they were incredibly accomplished. Years of leadership experience. Strategy. Stakeholder management. The kind of person others look at and think: “They’ve built such a successful career.” But psychologically? They felt lost.  Because the career story they had told themselves for many years no longer fitted. And they hadn’t built a new one yet.  I think this is one of the least talked about parts of career change.  People think career transition is mainly practical: Updating your LinkedIn profile and CV. Networking. Looking at options.  But at some point, career change becomes something much deeper: Identity work.  Who am I now?  What still fits? What no longer does?  How do I make sense of my experience in a way that supports where I want to go next? In this episode, I talk about how to begin rewriting your career story in a way that is grounded, honest, and actually useful. I’ll share 2 of the 7 questions I use with clients inside my 5-month Find Your Career Space programme. These questions are powerful because they help you move beyond job titles and reconnect with the deeper patterns underneath your career. *** 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.

    48: How to Find the Right People for Your Career Transition Support Team

    Send us Fan Mail Find the full transcript at https://spacetoshiftyourcareer.com/48 Here’s what I hear a lot from public sector leaders when they realise they need a support team for their career transition: “I know I need this. But I don’t know where to find these people.” "All my close friends are colleagues. I can’t be open with them.” “I don’t have anyone in my network who’s done what I’m thinking about doing.” It can be a real constraint.  Especially in the public sector, where your world can feel quite closed: colleagues, the people you work with, maybe some long-standing friendships.  Everyone seems to know everyone, with only a few degrees of separation. And yet: everyone is kind of in the same boat, facing the same constraints, thinking the same thoughts. So where do you find people who’ve made different choices?  Who’ve taken different paths?  Who can model something new for you?  How do you know where to look?  Let’s talk about that.  I show you where you can find three key roles for your career transition support team. And: how to approach people you don’t already know. *** 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.

    47: Which Roles Do YOU Need on Your Career Transition Support Team?

    Send us Fan Mail Find the full transcript at https://spacetoshiftyourcareer.com/47  I recently worked with two leaders navigating career change, and they needed completely different support teams. One leader was drowning in possibilities. She had five ideas and couldn’t decide between them. She needed someone to help her structure her thinking and break things down into steps. A Manager and a Trusted Expert were the roles she needed.  The other leader was paralysed by fear. He needed someone who believed in him and who motivated him to work things through step-by-step. A Motivator and a Mooringwere his priority. If I’d given them both the same template – all six roles I talked about last week – one would have felt overwhelmed and the other would not have gotten what would actually help. Your support team isn’t one-size-fits-all. It needs to be tailored to YOU. In this episode, I help you figure out which roles matter most for where you are right now. *** 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.

    46: The 6 Roles on the Support Team for Your Public Sector Career Transition

    Send us Fan Mail Find the full transcript at https://spacetoshiftyourcareer.com/46 Imagine you’re putting together a team at work to tackle a complex project. You wouldn’t just hire six people and hope they figure it out. You’d define roles. Clarify responsibilities. Make sure each person knows what they’re supposed to be doing. That’s the difference between a group of people and a functioning team. Building a support team for your career change works exactly the same way. But here’s what most people do: They vaguely mention to a friend or a family member that they’re thinking about making a change. They hope someone steps in with the right help. And then they’re disappointed when that doesn’t happen. It’s not because people don’t care. It’s because nobody knows what their job is supposed to be. In this episode, I’m going to walk you through 6 distinct roles. Each one serves a different function.  By the end, you’ll have a checklist. And a checklist makes everything easier. *** 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.

    45: What Stops Leaders from Building a Career Change Support Team?

    Send us Fan Mail Find the full transcript at https://spacetoshiftyourcareer.com/45 I once worked with a public sector leader who understood that having people around her would help her with her career change.  But when it came time to actually reach out to someone to say ‘I need help’?   She froze. “What if they think I’m weak for not being able to figure this out by myself? What if they judge me? “ It was about managing perceptions. Her own self-image, and the way others might see her.  These aren’t irrational fears. They’re real concerns. Asking for help went against everything she’d learned.  In becoming a leader, she’d learned: – Not to burden others with problems.  – To project competence.  – To "be professional".  – And that "vulnerability counts against me".  Notice the pattern? The assumptions? And judgments? Let’s talk about that. And about the gap between knowing you need support and actually asking for it. *** 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.

    44: 3 Reasons Leaders Need A Support System For Their Career Change 

    Send us Fan Mail Find the full transcript at spacetoshiftyourcareer.com/44 A client of mine used to think career change was a solo mission.  You figure out what you want.  You make a plan.  You execute it.  Easy peasy, right?  If only it was that simple!  But for this leader, the idea of asking someone else for help felt like failure. Because he'd had to admit he couldn’t do it by himself.  So he read books and articles. Consumed newsletters about finding your passion and designing your life.  It helped – a little.  What he didn’t realise at the time: The thing he actually needed wasn’t another worksheet. It was other people with different perspectives.  In this episode, I talk about why building your own support team isn’t a luxury – it’s the difference between struggling alone and actually moving forward. *** 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.
