Are your skills transferable to your dream career?
Many people don’t believe that their skills can apply to the career they are desiring to move into.

| 07 Feb 2022 | I Am Advancing in My Company But Still Feel Stuck In My Career | 00:32:53 | |
There’s personal career growth (when you live your definition of success) and then there’s career growth according to society’s definition of success. Maybe you’ve been promoted over the years all the way to senior manager, yet you still feel stuck, bored, and drained. Society will tell you this is what success is! We disagree. Growing in your career is figuring out what you’re good at and what energizes you, and pivoting into a meaningful, fulfilling career that uses your strengths. Learn how James Sannan came to the realization that there could be more to his career than the short phase of excitement he felt after each promotion, and how he networked his way into a meaningful career that he truly enjoys.

| 11 Apr 2022 | Facing a New Career That Doesn't Fit (and What To Do) | 00:36:27 | |
Many of the people that we have worked with here at HTYC tend to go through several career changes on their own. They try many of the traditional job search methods, and they don’t see lasting results. Usually, they start excited about their new role, but then, at some point, start realizing that something is off. Sometimes the role or company doesn’t match your values. Sometimes the role doesn’t match your strengths. Laura Parker used to work for a global law firm for 12 years, and made a change to this technology company 2 years ago. It didn’t take long for her to realize that she needed to make another change, and that’s where she found this podcast. But I’m getting ahead of her story. We need to jump back and see why she needed to leave the law firm in the first place? | |||

| 23 Apr 2018 | Become Unhackable with Kary Oberbrunner | 00:42:13 | |
Have you ever been so excited about a new project or goal that you’ve set for yourself that you just can’t wait to start? You sit and visualize yourself going through the motions of the process, checking off all the boxes on your to-do list, and finally you check off that last task, then you bask in the feeling of victory after you’ve achieved your accomplishment. That entire process, the drive and determination, the movement forward, that feeling of accomplishment…that is what it means to be unhackable.
BUT HOW DOES IT APPLY TO MY CAREER?To be unhackable means to close the gap that exists between your ideas and the implementation of your ideas. It means building yourself up to become an unstoppable force that reaches goals. Take that philosophy and apply it to the process of your career transition and you become unhackable by eliminating all of the obstacles that stop you from reaching your dream career. What drives many people to career change is the idea that there is a big potential for something more than what they’ve got going on in their career right now. But sometimes even people with the strongest mindsets, get hacked. There are a handful (maybe more than a handful) of things that stop people dead in their tracks as they begin their journey into a new career. Some begin to feel like imposters as they begin to progress in their career change. Some self-sabotage and start doubting their potential, then slowly they unintentionally begin to put the brakes on their path to a new career. But just like computer systems have software that work to prevent getting hacked, there are ways for you to be proactive in becoming unhackable. In order to get in front of the hacking, we need to identify what is leaving you vulnerable to getting hacked in the first place.
WHAT IS STOPPING YOU FROM BECOMING UNHACKABLE IN YOUR CAREER CHANGE?
The most common obstacles that stop a lot of people during their career change are all about their mindset. Here are the top three things stopping people from becoming unhackable (with some examples):
1) Problem: They lack the confidence in their knowledge & skills They start thinking about themselves in a self-sabotaging ways.
2) Problem: They’re unsure of the direction or focus they want to pursue
3) Problem: They don’t know how to sell yourselves
SO, HOW DO YOU BECOME THAT UNSTOPPABLE, UNHACKABLE FORCE TO SUCCESSFULLY CHANGE CAREERS?
Well, we change your mindset when it comes to your career change. 1. Get out of your own head and stop judging yourself.
LACKING CONFIDENCE?If you’re struggling with the confidence in your own knowledge and skills in a particular industry, you need to, first, acknowledge that there is a reason you started down the path of career change (and KUDOS to you on that note, because not a lot of people even make it as far as to acknowledge that a change needs to be made). Remember that you started down this path because you knew that there was something bigger for you out there (and there is!). So, if you need to, take a step back and take a breath and then come back into your process of career change refreshed and motivated to continue. As Kary Oberbrunner says, “Show up filled up.” You are the expert and the guru. You have the skills to bring value to people. Regain your perspective and come back full of what you already know you know and move forward.
CAN’T FIND A CAREER THAT FITS?Who do you want to help? What do you want to contribute your talents to? If you are having a little trouble answering those questions, ask yourself: What have at least three people asked you for advice on? Those people have come to you for help in something they trust you enough to help solve. That makes you credible. That proves that there is a need out there and that skill makes it something you can capitalize on. From that little exercise, you can align your skills and strengths and begin to be more intentional in your career change.
WONDERING HOW TO MARKET YOURSELF?Ever heard of a Values Proposition Statement (VPS)? Anyone that is looking to change careers should have one. Think of it like the menu at a drive-thru window. You know when you pull up to a drive-thru, you know exactly what they’re selling. That is what your VPS should do. It provides clarity of your intentions and lays out what you have to offer your next employer. Here’s a formula to give you a little framework to build on:
“I AM A ____________, WHO HELPS ___________ DO OR UNDERSTAND _________ SO THAT ______________”
Once you have your VPS lined up and ready to roll, you’re ¾ of the way there. The last quarter of the marketing equation requires you to change your mindset from “selling yourself” to a mindset that selling is serving, and marketing your knowledge and skills is storytelling. Once you can frame your pitch in that way, you’re golden. People don’t want to be sold, they want to be helped.
NEXT STEPSBecoming unhackable is a mindset change. Building your confidence, finding your footing in the direction you want to take your career, and learning how to take all of that and put it into action by effectively marketing your skills and knowledge as assets will make you unhackable to continue to successfully transition your career. Your journey into a new career isn’t easy. And because the process is a journey, we know it’s easy to let yourself to get hacked. If you’re finding a little bit of difficulty building your confidence or finding your footing on what career path is right for you, we have world-class career coaches that can help you get where you envision your next career. Visit us at https://www.happentoyourcareer.com/coaching and let us know where you find yourself getting hacked and one of our coaches will be glad to help you! | |||

| 26 Nov 2018 | Why You Don't Even Know Perfectionism is Holding You Back | 01:02:44 | |
As far as I know perfection doesn’t exist because it’s subjective. This of course means that if we are after perfection, then we are already setting ourselves up for failure. Now here’s the deal.

| 17 Oct 2019 | Negotiating During the Hiring Process | 00:31:58 | |
Let me ask you a question: When do you have the most power to negotiate? Out of all the possible times, the very best time to negotiate your pay, job, terms or anything else is when you’re making a career change to a new company and new job. Specifically right after they’ve made you an offer. Why is that? Well, Let's talk about some truths from their perspective. Once you get to where they have given you an offer it is a big deal for you and for them. Very often they have spent a huge amount of time going through the process to decide they want you. That is an important factor. They are emotionally invested and have decided it's going to be you in the role, not someone else. Depending on your level, they’ve likely had other people involved in the process and the probably had to have different approvals from their boss or finance or HR or the CEO. Someone else probably had to say yes or commit to you so they aren’t excited to change anytime soon. Because of that you have more power to negotiate than any other point in time. Keep in mind this is only after they make an offer. None of this applies while they are considering it. | |||

Robert was in a VP level role, earning great money and enjoying life and work. He was well known around his industry. He was great at what he did. Things were pretty good overall… Until they weren’t! Robert got laid off. No big deal right. A great opportunity to take some time and get a way. (Thanks soft landings and severance!) Except when it came time to go back to work: 8 months passed. Then 10, 12… 18 months passed and he’d had a few interviews but nothing had panned out. He and his partner were pulling their hair out a bit trying to figure out what was going on. He’s a smart guy, he gets results, why wasn’t this working? They had been through everything, was it his interview style? Simply unlucky? Was he coming off as desperate? That’s where I had the opportunity to meet Robert. As he was trying to figure out what was working and what wasn’t. It turns out Robert’s answer wasn’t what you’d think it would be.

When you go to make these connections, there are some simple, yet overlooked, strategies that are very effective to not only receive a response when doing this deliberate networking, but all get a response that could propel you into the role you are aiming for. Brian is a podcast listener and client who reached out to me through email, and his email blew me away. So today I want to share with you the tactics Brian used to grab my attention and what you can learn from it. What you'll learn

| 14 Nov 2019 | Using Strengths in Your Career Pivot or Job Search (Part 4 of 6) | 00:19:09 | |
The more you know about what makes you truly happy and satisfied, the more you can bring it into your life. Once you identify your strengths, you can identify what you want in your life. You can hone in on the types of activities you’re best at and that make you happiest. Then you can work backwards from there to figure out the types of jobs where you can find those activities… and what types of companies hire for those jobs! This is the opposite approach that 99% of the world takes. Most people look at what they think their options are and try to make the best of those. They make their own barriers and limits by not considering what they really want and instead focus on what they think is probable or possible. Unintentionally limiting yourself in that way will also unintentionally limit your happiness!
We’ve put this 6 part audio course together as a guide to using your strengths to make a career pivot to work that makes you more happy more often. If you haven’t already, start with the first episode as each one builds on the previous episode to help you learn how you can make a career (and a life out of your strengths) and why many others have chosen to do the same thing.

After all, there really isn’t a list out there of companies that are small family-style organizations that happen to allow highly flexible schedules and also have large amounts of resources and a leadership team hell-bent on integrity. Those organizations are out there, for sure, but the question is: “How do you find this unicorn organization?” But it’s even more complicated than that, because what is a perfect fit for one person, isn't necessarily right for you. In this episode, we break down 3 specific steps to locating organizations that fit, complete with examples of actual coaching sessions with our clients.

Is staying at a job you hate holding you back from happiness? What if you’ve changed careers…and the new work wasn’t quite the fit you thought it would be? After helping a couple thousand people make career changes, you notice a few commonalities. We’ve realized that EVERYONE has barriers to making their change. Especially the busy, high achieving peeps that we’ve worked with. You are no exception! You know how you always hear those success stories of what other people have done? If you’re like me (or you’re human), sometimes they can make you a little jealous or depressed. How come it always works out so well for those other people? Well, here’s the hidden reality behind every single one of the success stories we’ve published: Zero of them were easy, AND none of them went perfectly. In fact, we find that much of the time we are helping our students make it easier to change to work they love by focusing on the right things, but focusing on the right things alone doesn’t automatically make you successful. In today’s episode, I talk about how career happiness really works. In fact, this episode is one of the lessons I teach inside Career Change Bootcamp. | |||

What’s the thing that very few people are asking right now that almost everyone is missing? Instead of saying “should I be looking right now,” what if you flipped it on it’s head and said: “How do I take this opportunity where very few people are taking action on their job search and use this time to make a leap into something bigger?” That’s a question that’s worth some serious consideration. This is also one of the questions that Scott dives into with Eleanor on the podcast today. I want to invite you to join us for another live webinar-style training, where Scott is going to answer your questions again. We’re going to try to bring 1 or 2 people on live, like we did with Diane and Eleanor. To sign up for the next training, go to happentoyourcareer.com/webinar-weekly. After you register to attend, you’ll be able to submit your question. Even if you can’t attend live, you can still submit your question. By the way, we have temporarily re-opened Career Change Bootcamp in light of everything going on with the virus and quarantine situations. We don’t usually re-open CCB so soon after closing, but these are unusual times, and we want to provide you with the best help we can. If you’re interested in CCB, send Scott an email, scott@happentoyourcareer.com, with “CCB Conversation” in the subject line, and he’ll connect you with our team to figure out the very best way that we can help you.

| 12 Nov 2017 | Turning relationships into job offers | 00:20:13 | |
Let me tell you about a great problem to have -- and a question that came from one of our students inside of Career Change Bootcamp, our signature program.
Laura said:
“I'm really interested in a particular company, and I've now spoken to four people who work there. I've gotten really good at being genuinely interested in learning about roles and companies without actually "asking" anything...But now I want the job... so how do I graciously and not awkwardly shift the conversation from tell me about what you do, to... you should hire me because?” Curious to know the answer? Or, have a hypothesis of your own?

| 24 Sep 2018 | How to be yourself during an interview | 00:52:33 | |
Long before you even begin thinking about going on an interview, you need to get into the right mindset. This accounts for nearly 80% of your interview success! Having a confident, present mindset allows you to head into your future interviews with ease. It channels your nerves (those sweaty palms and racing heart) into excitement instead. And, it allows you to be yourself. In order to get into this mindset though, you have to know yourself well, and respect your past experiences. You need to understand your career equity. And, that takes introspection. That introspection doesn’t come overnight either. It’s a practice that builds up over time, which is why “cramming” for interviews isn’t effective. Being true self in an interview comes down to self-development. | |||

Kirby Verceles went through some wild ups and downs when the small company she worked for was in the process of being acquired. The soul-searching that she immersed herself in at that time gave her the answers and direction she needed and she came out on the other side with a position so suited for her it almost seems as if it were created for her! Kirby shares her process of self discovery and reminds us that no matter how stressful things can get, if you keep your core strengths in sight, you will come out ahead!

| 15 May 2017 | JOB APPLICATIONS: How High Performers Get Results with Scott Barlow and Lisa Lewis | 00:44:56 | |
Most people dread the job application process as they try and stand out in a sea of people who are just as qualified and just as hungry to make it through the first portion of the process: the weeding out phase. Surprisingly, even the “most skilled” people struggle to get their foot in the door when applying for jobs. But, there is a little population of the workforce that usually doesn’t have that problem. This group of people are the High Performers – the people who get the early promotions, the big raises, and the exceptional treatment. While the rest of the world goes into the job application process with the mindset of getting the job, high performers go into the process with the mindset of using this phase to collect as much information about the job, the organization, and the culture of the organization to determine if this is a good fit for them. Wondering how you can get results like High Performers do? On today’s podcast, we tackle:

Losing a job, going through a career-existential crisis, or even if you've made the conscious decision to make a career change on your own terms, are all BIG LIFE CHANGES. In any type of life change, it is important to be aware of the effects these changes may have on your health and wellness. BIG life changes, especially if they are unexpected- like a job loss, can bring on an overwhelming amount of stress. It may feel like the world is turning upside down on you and when you're in it, you might not be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But, it's there. Believe me, it is there. Today, Dr. Phil Carson, a registered Pharmacist and practitioner in alternative, holistic medicines and therapies, joins the show to share his story about the stress he experienced through losing his job, starting a business, losing that business, the growing debt that came with it, and how he was able to come out of it with high spirits. He also goes on to share tips on how to manage that stress that comes along with big life changes and ways to identify when you need to seek more help.

| 26 Jun 2017 | Stop Avoiding Your Patterns to Find Work that Fits You with Matthew Toy | 00:41:10 | |
Have you noticed any reoccurring themes in your life? These themes can range from the habits you form, the hobbies you enjoy, the work you choose, the tasks you hate, the type of people you surround yourself with, and so on. Just stop and think for a moment. Does anything stand out? The patterns and themes that appear in your life are little nuggets of gold that you shouldn’t hastily push aside when you’re looking to make any big life changes, like a career transition. As much as we emphasize how digging deeper into your own patterns in your career and life is the first piece of research you need to do before you start down the career change road, we know that sometimes it is hard to accept those patterns for what they truly are. Just ask our guest, Matthew Toy, who avoided accepting what everyone else around him knew about how big of an impact his own passion for practicing yoga had on his life. Fast forward to now, and you’ll find Matt teaching and practicing Man Yoga (yoga for men) at the Berkeley Yoga Center, re-educating people on what the practice of yoga really is through his Instagram, as well as at events. He is also the co-founder of a bakery. With a full life, yoga practice, and career, Matt is now able to look back, reflect, and share his path on how accepting his own life patterns led him to where he is now. | |||

| 23 Oct 2017 | Setting Boundaries in your Career: When and How to Say NO | 01:03:46 | |
Aaaaaand...I’m back!
I hope you enjoyed last week’s message from Lisa and Josh to celebrate our 200th episode of the podcast.
(I still cannot believe it’s already been four years of podcasting. We covered a lot of ground in those episodes!!!)
And don’t worry: there are still plenty of topics that we could do 200 (or more) episodes on.
For example: do you recognize any of yourself in this story?
“If you are someone who is a rule follower, a successful person, we are brought up in these systems and taught if you do the right things, do well in school, pick the right major, follow all these steps then you will be happy. The world doesn’t work like that. It’s like this big insight that hits you. I felt like I had done everything right and ticked all the boxes. Went to skill, got my undergrad degree, top of my class, and got my masters, ready to conquer the world. I took a job with a salary that was less than I could live and commute on. I was commuting back and forth to New York City two hours, each day, to a job that was not a fit for me at all. It was a small environment in a room with three other people, not a lot of autonomy, but I intellectualized it away instead of listening to what I knew about myself - that I needed a high degree of being self-directed in my work.
“I was giving my life, time, power, and energy away. I sat there and was so burnt out - physically, mentally, emotionally. A hair-trigger event could set me off. One piece of bad feedback, a surprise email. I was so low anything could send me into that tailspin. That was my lightbulb moment of saying ‘this is not who I am,’ and that person deep down, that kid that was ambitious filled with hope and positivity and being so excited about the world ahead of me spoke up and said, ‘This is no longer acceptable. You have to start making changes.’ I had to look at all the ways I had let my identity, power and self-worth get wrapped up in someone else approving of me. My boss or sending someone my work, I had become so dependent on my work to make me feel good that I sacrificed everything else. My friendships, relationships, my body. I had to make changes.“ - Melody Wilding
If anything about this experience resonated with you -- and you’re ready to re-claim your own power in your work and life -- then I’m ridiculously excited to share this week’s podcast episode, #201 with Melody Wilding.
Melody is a licensed clinical social worker and career coach who is an expert on the mindset and psychology behind successful careers, and knows that taking a hard look at your life and deciding what you need to say “yes” to and what you need to say “no” to makes all the difference.
In this episode, you will learn...:

| 30 Apr 2018 | Turning Your Passions into your Career with Christie Mims | 00:42:22 | |
What is my passion?? Passion can be defined in many ways in relation to your career. Christie Mims, the founder of the Revolutionary Club, a Forbes Top 100 website for your career, wants people to separate their passion from their job. According to her, in the grander scale of things, passion is bigger than just your job. So, what is passion? Basically, passion is who you are and your job is how you express that passion.
Finding out what is your passion takes a little bit of courage in order to get off the beaten career path and embrace who you are and what motivates you to do good work. “You can be known for being a strategic thinker. You can be known for being the person that’s calm in a crisis. You can be known for being the person who has a great sense of humor who is able to connect with people.” You can help identify some of your best qualities to find your passion by thinking about some of your biggest personality traits that are positive and start to socialize those traits with yourself and learn ways you can best communicate them to others. In the podcast, Christie shares how to find your passion and how to turn that into a career that you love. Listen here!

There’s this funny phenomenon that happens when people are looking for intentional work. They get to a point where they’ve been working on their career change for a while — they’ve identified what will make work meaningful for them and what they are looking for in an organization — but then the search for their ideal role starts taking longer than expected, and the doubts start creeping in. Staying true to yourself when you begin to have doubts is possibly the hardest part of the entire career change process. After a third job change left Eric as burned out as the one before, Eric decided his next career change would be much more intentional...but when his job search started approaching the yearlong mark, he began having doubts. Hear how Eric maintained focus by seeking support and ultimately refusing to settle for anything less than meaningful work. What you’ll learn

Have you been living a calculated, box-checking life? Are you looking for a change of pace, lifestyle, or career? That is exactly how our guest, Tracy Timm, felt after checking off the boxes of graduating from Yale and getting a job on Wall Street out of college. Tracy began to feel the effects of the classic "high-achiever" looking for more from life than just her job- which began to make her miserable. After deciding that picking misery and safety over an actual fulfilling life was not how she wanted to continue, she laid her cards on the table for her employers and ultimately left Wall Street to begin her entrepreneurial journey (after her trip around the world to regain a new perspective on life, of course).

| 02 Oct 2017 | Decluttering Your Life with Angela Wagner | 00:43:21 | |
One thing I’ve noticed after coaching for years is that the way you do one thing in your life is usually a sign of how you do everything.
Let me explain: if you put perfectionistic pressure on yourself to pick out your one right career path, you might also put that pressure on yourself to find your perfect, flawless (unicorn) romantic partner, to be the perfect friend, or improve your fitness by being perfect when you work out. (Maybe something super technical and detail-oriented like ballet or Olympic weightlifting...if you can get over your fears of not being perfect so that you can even start!)
Or if you’re afraid of losing out on options in your life, you might be too scared to commit to one career path or job, so you stay stuck in one you don’t like, because unhappiness feels safer than uncertainty of taking away future possibilities. You might be the one who goes out on dates with a ton of people but never wants to initiate the DTR (define-the-relationship) conversation and end up tied down. Or you might be the person who wants to eat at every new restaurant as soon as it opens, so you’ll know all the different culinary options that your city provides.
The way you do things isn’t necessarily a bad thing -- in fact, it can be a secret hint about your strengths hiding in your personality and habits.
You can see this secret strength concept beautifully illustrated in today’s podcast with Angela Wagner. The way Angela does work the the way Angela does life is an example of who she is. She started out her career in the high-powered advertising world, but was seeking to feel grounded outside of work, so she started working at a gym on the side.
Her decision to lean into opportunities that helped her stay active while relieving stress led her to creating community through becoming a yoga teacher...which led her to creating her own yoga studio...which led her to her getting training in yoga life coaching
Creating community for individuals ready to put down their baggage and seek soulful stress relief is Angela’s through-line. It’s how (and WHY) she does everything. | |||

| 11 Nov 2019 | Why Should You Even Care About Strength Anyway? (Part 1 of 6) | 00:10:12 | |
Let’s start with a question: Why do you care about your strengths? Maybe you’ve spent time looking at job opportunities online, getting depressed at how few jobs you’re qualified for, interested in, or willing to do for low pay. Or maybe you’ve recently had the realization that “this can’t be all there is” to work You might have even taken every assessment, personality test and quiz out there only to find out that you’re still in the same place. You, just like many of the people we work with, found out the hard way that the knowledge that being a “relator” or “achiever” or “learner” is interesting, but you still don’t have a raise, a new career, or work that makes you happy.
We’ve put this 6 part audio course together as a guide to using your strengths to make a career pivot to work that makes you more happy more often. If you haven’t already, start with the first episode as each one builds on the previous episode to help you learn how you can make a career (and a life out of your strengths) and why many others have chosen to do the same thing.
