Have you ever been on a road trip to a place you’d never been to before? 
I suspect you probably didn’t just throw a bag in the car and go.
You probably checked the route and worked out what you needed to take. 
You might have thought about who to take with you. 
And you possibly even built in a few stops along the way that weren’t strictly necessary, but made the trip worth taking.
A career change deserves the same kind of attention. 
Because drifting along without a plan or leaping blindly tends to cost you more than you might think. That doesn’t mean you need to have every detail figured out from the get go. 
But it helps to be strategic and intentional before you begin. 
In this episode, I’ll share the 6 elements of a smart career change strategy. Think of it as your route plan.

Your values work like a compass. You might have heard this before. But what does it mean? Let me explain. 
You trust the compass to find the way you want to go because the needle is pointing True North. 
But when something throws it off, an interference like a bit of metal nearby, the needle starts to drift. If you ignore the drift and keep walking, you end up further and further from where you actually meant to go.
Just like a compass that’s working well, you usually don’t think about your values. It happens subconsciously. When everything is in alignment, you don’t notice it. 
But...
When the place where you work stops in pointing the same direction,  
When what’s rewarded, prioritised, and lived out every day around you stops matching what matters to you, 
That DRIFT becomes impossible to ignore.
In this episode, I tell you about a client who felt that drift, and what she did about it. 
LISTEN in and find out which 3 things helped move the needle for her.

I recorded this episode exactly one year after this podcast went live. 
Yes, it’s the one year anniversary of the Space To Shift Your Career podcast.
This puts me in a reflective mood. I think back to where I was one year ago. 
I was at a crossroads:  Moving from one side of the world to the other. 
I was about to go through another transition period in my life. It took me about one year to fully arrive back home. Much longer than on previous occasions! 
My family and I had just come home to New Zealand from an overseas posting to Moscow. From one reality – and its many contradictions – to another, very different reality. 
I had been working on the podcast for several months and was excited to finally share it. 
I was disappointed when my mentor recommended to hold off until after our move. But... she was right. 
I had to be fully present when I launched – not be distracted by packing and unpacking boxes – and, in a way, my life.
I had used the last couple of months in Moscow to produce 10 or so episodes. That gave me breathing space for the first few months back home. 
To settle in. To reconnect with people. To set up a new routine for my family – and my business.
This one year anniversary makes me reflect on what can happen in a year.
I share three versions of you. 
Which one feels closest to where you want to be a year from now?

Career change is a marathon, not a sprint. And a marathon isn’t won in the first mile.
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.

“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.
