    26: Why Public Sector Leaders Already Have What It Takes to Navigate Career Change

    Find the full transcript at https://spacetoshiftyourcareer.com/26 Imagine you’ve spent years building a specialised toolkit. You’ve used it in high-pressure situations. 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.

    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.

That aligns with who you are now and how you want to contribute in future. The problem?  The water feels fast and unpredictable. Leaping straight across feels risky. Staying where you are feels safe - but stagnant. Some people find a log to cross. Others hop across stepping stones. Sometimes, the smartest thing to do is build a bridge - piece by piece. In this episode of the Space To Shift Your Career podcast, I talk about a powerful but often overlooked strategy  for public sector leaders to change careers.  *** 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.

    22: Why Career Change Feels Existential For Public Sector Leaders

    Find the full transcript at https://spacetoshiftyourcareer.com/22 Changing careers can feel a bit like a divorce. But not just from a job. It can feel like breaking up with a part of yourself.  The part that introduced you at conferences.  The part that signed emails with a certain title.  The part that felt proud when people asked: “So what do you do?” When public sector leaders tell me they’re considering a career change, they say it feels like a confession. Because it doesn’t just feel like leaving a role. It feels like letting go of who they’ve been for years, for decades. And THAT can feel existential. In this episode, I talk about why career change can feel intense on an identity level, and how you can navigate that transition with more clarity and self-compassion. *** 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.

    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 Public Sector Leaders develop exciting career options that align with who they are now and how they want to evolve in future.

    20: How Public Sector Leaders Find Work They Love

    Find the full transcript at https://spacetoshiftyourcareer.com/20 Do you feel like you’re performing a role you’ve outgrown?  There’s a significant difference between resigning yourself to a career on auto-pilot and living out your ideal career and life. 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. Who you are now. And how you want to contribute in future.  That’s what I help public sector leaders do in my Find Your Career Space programme.

    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 Public Sector Leaders develop exciting career options that align with who they are now and how they want to evolve in future.
