Anyone facing a change will leave this presentation clear, energized and ready to make a professional move.

Confident Career Transitions: 5 Stages to Success for Job Seekers
Many experienced, loyal, high performing professionals start to want more personal fulfillment at some point in their career. If they support a family, have been immersed in a particular role or industry for many years, are relied on by a team or key stakeholders, or simply don’t know where to start – this can feel high risk, even unachievable.
But putting a deeply personal and much-needed change off comes with its own prices – on health, relationships, peace of mind, and performance.
There’s a way to prepare for change, and minimize risk for a smoother career change by following a roadmap.
In this keynote, Clara Chorley, executive career change coach, will share:
– The old way: Default Career Change Model – the most common (and stressful) way people end up in a career change.
– The new way: 5D Career Change Roadmap – knowing the five stages will help you navigate your career change strategically and thoughtfully, while knowing where you are in the process every step of the way.
– The Top 3 (of 10) Success Pillars of making it all the way to a better opportunity, and avoiding the trap of accepting just another job.
Clarity & Bravery for a Successful Career Transition
As a job seeker you want to get back to work. You don’t want to take just any job, but there are days when this seems like the best-worst option, maybe the only one. You know that a little more energy, clarity, and focus would help you persevere – and you’d love a roadmap.
It’s possible to find your way to a better job than the last one, a place where you belong and can do good work. And it’s possible to find this job without twisting yourself into a pretzel and becoming someone you’re not. Job seeking is a game of bravery, small steps, and endurance. Let’s revitalize your search.
Takeaways:
– The 5 stages of Career Change: a framework to help you see where you are and where you’re going.
– A fresh perspective and conversation about the less acknowledged challenges of job seeking, which will raise your confidence and invigorate you to keep going!
– A practical exercise for next steps and measurable progress.
