40 | Taking Small Steps to Find a New Career with Danielle Doolen

In this week's episode, I speak with Danielle who eventually went from accounting to corporate communications.  But her message is less about the career change and more about the steps she took to get there.  First moving out of accounting, when she realized it was impacting her health, to recruiting accountants.  And then writing on the side, sharing her story and writing for others, then to social media marketing and finally corporate communications.  But she kept taking small steps to get her closer to her goal (and honestly, learning more about what she wanted that goal to be along the way)!As 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 Group (Career Changers) and Instagram page (@career_changers_kdw) for more tips!  In addition to 1:1 coaching, I have a free workshop this Thursday, April 22nd that focuses on how your health and your engagement in your career are directly tied.  And registration is still open for the May cohort of Transform Your Career, my group program for people making a career change.  So let's connect so we can chat about the best way to get you unstuck and in a role that is right for you!More about Danielle...Danielle Doolen is a Charlotte-based communications professional and freelance writer.
