Why are more and more people changing career? |
|
Do you go to work and wish you were somewhere else? Do you believe it's too late to change your career, even if you are only in your 40s or 50s? More and more people are taking the leap and changing their career for something more 'them', more satisfying and rewarding or a role that makes a difference to the world.
A redundancy cheque can be a catalyst to taking the step but there's a lot to be thought through and it can be daunting, especially if it's a complete career reinvention. Many people who have been in the same career for many years feel like a one trick pony, and simply can't see how else they could use their skills, when in reality there are many ways of using our talents.
People don't trust companies like they used to and many people are fed up with the politics, their efforts not being rewarded,
whether financially or even appreciation, and are jumping ship.
Getting the support of a career expert and one who also knows about consumer and employer trends makes alot of sense to help you with your career change. You can only know what you know and big change is scary! Preparation and planning makes it a lot less scary and help with marketing yourself and addressing your fears is essential.

Career reinvention success story |
Here's a story of career change - in our client's own words:
"  After thirty years of working in one field and the sheer ennui, it was time to make some changes. Couple that with a serious downturn in the economy and career paralysis, I asked Rachel Brushfield and her company Energise to help me evaluate my career options. Through relentless questioning and enlightened exercises, she help me realize that while expanding on my original career path would be a safe bet, it would not necessarily bring me new challenges or horizons, nor relieve the current frustration I was experiencing within it.
Doing something totally outside the box was a pretty scary alternative, not to mention a financial anxiety; however with her incisive probing, Rachel helped me to decide what would really make me happy in the second half of my career, confront the appropriate issues and put in place a plan to make it happen. One year in the making, my new company has launched and is promoting our tours in regional France, all centred around my interest in cheese and the regions, people and terroir which support their creation. Rachel & Energise are at the core of the realization of Domaines & Terroirs."
