6: Why Leaders Need SPACE To Shift Their Public Sector Career
Find the full transcript at https://spacetoshiftyourcareer.com/6>> 5 Meanings Of Space Public Sector Leaders Should Consider When Exploring A Career Change <<A few weeks ago, one of my listeners wrote to say how much she loved the name Space To Shift Your Career.She said: “For me, space isn’t just about time. It’s about the physical environment I’m in, especially when I’m in nature. That’s when I finally feel like myself again. Grounded, alive, able to breathe.”Her words stopped me in my tracks.Because that’s EXACTLY why I chose the name. And why I end every episode with “Take space, rediscover you, and then take action.”Space isn’t one-dimensional. It’s not just about finding an empty slot in your diary. It’s multi-layered: time, environment, energy, people. And the FLOW we feel when we’re aligned.That’s what we’ll explore in this episode: what “space” really means. And how extending your definition can help you expand what’s possible for your career and life.>> Email me new episodes << 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.

5: What’s Stopping Public Sector Leaders from Dreaming about Their Future?
Find the full transcript at www.SpaceToShiftYourCareer.com/5 Let me ask you something: When you hear the word ‘dream’, do you roll your eyes - even just a little? You’re not alone. To many of us ‘dreaming’ sounds lofty. Naive. The opposite of what we need. Especially in the public sector, where realism, facts and measurable outcomes are the currency - what place does dreaming have? But here’s a thought: imagine your career without a vision. No direction. Just duty. That’s not realism. That’s resignation. In this episode, I’ll talk about why so many smart, experienced and driven public sector leaders struggle to imagine what’s next for them. And how that might be holding them back more than they think. So if the word ‘dream’ makes you uncomfortable… stay with me. I’ll share 3 practical ways to remove that stop sign. ***>> Email me new episodes << 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.

4: 3 Mindset Shifts to Help Public Sector Leaders Move Forward
Find the full transcript on www.SpaceToShiftYourCareer.com/4Have you ever been on a boat that slowly loses momentum? It starts off strong. Full speed ahead. Purpose clear. Destination in sight. But over time, it begins to slow. Not because something is wrong. Just because something shifted. The scenery outside is still beautiful. The passengers are still kind. But your gaze starts to drift towards the horizon. You’re not feeling lost completely, but no longer sure where you’re headed. You begin to wonder: ‘Is this still where I want to go?’ Maybe you’ve left the familiar shore behind. Or maybe you’re still anchored, because you know the current isn’t quite right for you anymore. You’ve steered a steady course for years. You’ve served, led, and solved big problems with heart and integrity. And now? The water feels still. Other times choppy. And somehow not yours to sail anymore. That can be an uncomfortable place, this in-between. You might wonder: ‘Am I just tired? Or is it time for something new?’If you’re in the public sector and starting to feel that something has shifted for you, you’re not alone. In fact, you might be in a powerful moment. One where you decide to be more intentional about how you want your next chapter to unfold. In this episode, I’ll share 3 mindset shifts that can help you move forward with more clarity, integrity and hope for what’s next. Not by having it all figured out, but by learning to navigate uncertainty in a way that’s more aligned with your pace, your priorities, and your possibilities. ***>> Email me new episodes << 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.

3: 4 Ways Public Sector Leaders Can Spot if they Are Quietly Draining
Find the full transcript and more resources at www.SpaceToShiftYourCareer.com/3 You know those creeping silent changes you don’t notice until one day something feels… off?It’s subtle. You’re not miserable, not exactly. But you’re also not thriving. Maybe you notice the Sunday evening blues more often. Maybe it's a tightness in your chest you can’t quite explain. And then there’s this question emerging in the back of your mind:“Is this still the right path for me?”As a leader in the public sector, you're not afraid of hard work. You've weathered crises, shown up with resilience, and stayed committed to making a difference.You’ve thought: “maybe it’s just a busy season” or “things will settle down.” But deep down, you suspect this isn’t temporary.And here's the trickiest part: everything still looks good on the outside. Stable job. Important mission. Great colleagues. But somehow you have this feeling that you’ve outgrown something. Or that your values have shifted or mean something different to you now. That maybe, just maybe, it’s time for a new chapter.So what if, without realizing it, you’re staying in a situation that’s no longer good for you? What if the very structure you rely on for purpose, security, or loyalty is also what's limiting you?If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. In this episode, I want to share a metaphor that might help you understand what’s going on, and what to do about it.It’s not about jumping ship. It’s about tuning in: to yourself, your assumptions, and the signals your life is sending.Let’s explore 4 ways staying where you are might be costing you more than you think.***>> Email me new episodes << 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.

2: Have You Ever Done a Career Audit?
Find a downloadable worksheet for your career audit at www.SpaceToShiftYourCareer.com/2We audit all kinds of things in life. We check our finances to make sure we’re on track. We get our cars inspected regularly to stay safe on the road. We go to the doctor for check ups. Even if nothing seems wrong, we still do it. Because little problems can build up quietly over time. But how often do we do that for our careers?We just keep going. New role, new challenge, new round of restructuring. Until something feels off. A rattle. A slow leak in motivation. Maybe you’re not crashing. Maybe you’re just cruising. But you feel like you’re not exactly thriving either. That’s when a career audit can be helpful.A simple way to look back at your past roles, spot the patterns, and ask: What’s energising me now? Where am I wearing thin? Because just like with money, or your car, or your health, the earlier you notice what’s out of alignment, the easier it is to make adjustments. In this episode, I’ll walk you through a set of questions to help you take stock, so you can feel not just functional in your career… but conscious about what might need changing.***>> Email me new episodes << 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.
