31 | Identifying & Developing Your Transferable Skills

Are you feeling stuck because you aren't sure how your skills will transfer to your next career?  I get it, when I left the arts I had to really work to put together a story of my main skills and how they applied to a job in the corporate world.  But guess what, they totally did.  And yours do as well!  In this week's episode I give you three challenges and exercises on how  to get unstuck!  1) Identify the skills you enjoy using and are your strengths 2) Find new ways to demonstrate those skills  and  3) Grow those skills through any additional training or coaching.  Easy peasy :)  Seriously, I walk you through it all, take a listen!  And I'm here to help if you want to connect!  I also wrote a blog post a few weeks ago that ties to this if you want to get some additional tips!  https://www.karendweeks.com/blog/I am even leading a free virtual workshop this Thursday on how to talk to your manager about your career development.   You can register here!  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/141224619639As always, please consider subscribing, leaving a rating and review and sharing this podcast and the whole series with others.  We do this podcast to help spread the word that everyone can get unstuck and find the thing that brings them joy in their careers.  If our guests can do it, you can too!  Check out our Facebook page: Career Changers or follow me on Instagram (career_changers_kdw) or Twitter (career_changers) for more tips or connect with me 1:1 so we can find a the right career for you!Episode is LivePublished: Jan. 31, 2021 @12AM EditUnpublishAdd a TranscriptGet episode better indexed by search engines.Add Chapter MarkersListeners can tap through & see what’s coming up.Create a Visual SoundbiteBest way to share to social media for engagement.Share Episode On FacebookTwitterLinkedInMore OptionsEmail Link to EpisodeDirect Link to MP3Embed this ONE EpisodeView Episode StatsWelcome to the Shine at Work Podcast!
