This is one of those long-time coming episodes where I take you through my very own linear career change journey. In this candid episode, I open up about my 3-year transition from misaligned corporate jobs to building my own coaching practice. I talk about how:I experienced years of inner turmoil and unhappiness working in management consulting and public sector roles that felt inauthentic;I quit jobs without a plan, taking solo soul-searching trips to Iceland and Portugal to get clarity;Iceland helped strip away my former identity and connect me to my true self through nature;After realizing I needed to be self-employed, I gradually transitioned by studying coaching while still working corporate jobs;I overcame intense fears of being perceived as a "wacko" life coach by former colleagues;I took imperfect action by starting to coach before feeling fully ready to gain clarity;I transitioned by getting a job with flexible remote hours which gave me safety to build my practice.I also share the most pivotal moments, doubts, and emotional journey I had to embark on in order to help others find aligned careers.ABOUT VILMAVilma is a holistic career change coach who helps women transition to their authentic aligned careers and businesses.Holistic Career Change Group programJoin the waiting list1:1 coachingSchedule a free discovery call to explore working 1:1InstagramFollow Vilma on Instagram @vilma.usaite
