Know it’s time to do something about your career change, but don’t feel brave enough to take the first steps?

I’ll go live on Tuesday, May 11, for a discussion on how to develop the confidence you need for your career change.

I’ll be joining Natasha Stanley from Careershifters in a 60-minute online masterclass that’s designed especially for you if you:

👉 Feel anxious about approaching new people or applying for unfamiliar jobs

👉 Avoid asking for help with your career change in case you’re judged or not taken seriously

👉 Struggle to imagine exploring new, exciting career paths, because you feel you lack credibility

 

You’ll leave the masterclass with:

 

👉 A technique for building strength and positivity while making career change progress at the same time

👉 A practical approach on how to use a support team in your shift

👉 Guidance for talking about yourself in a positive and authentic way, no matter what your background

I’d love to see you there!
