Pivot.
Are you feeling stuck in your current career path? Do you have a feeling that you could be doing something more meaningful, more fulfilling with your life? If so, a career pivot might be just what you need.
A career pivot simply means transitioning from one career to another, and there are countless ways to make this change. You could move from one position to another within your current organization or move to a completely different company. Pivots can be within your field or in an entirely new sector. Some people make the change from corporate to entrepreneurship, while others switch from a high-paying job to a career that offers more personal fulfillment.
If you're thinking about making a career pivot, it's important to take the time to plan and execute the transition successfully. In the coming months, we'll be exploring how you can do just that.
According to career expert Utkarsh Amitabh*, a career transition is more than just doing something different – it's a lifestyle redesign. It involves rethinking how you want to feel at the end of the day, how you want to spend your time, and how your goals fit into your overall life plan.
If you're considering a career pivot, Amitabh suggests asking yourself the following questions:
Why do you want to change? What is it about your current situation that is no longer fulfilling?
What do you want to do? Take the time to assess yourself and brainstorm what your next steps might look like.
When will the change happen? Make plans and level set your expectations.
