Have You Ever Asked Yourself This Question?

from Career Perspectives · host Karyn Nesby

That uneasy moment when your job no longer fits can be confusing, especially when you’ve checked all the boxes and looked “successful” from the outside. I call it the “what’s next” season and it’s not laziness or a lack of ambition. It’s disorientation, and it’s often a signal that you’ve grown and your career needs to catch up with who you’ve become.I walk through the patterns I see in professionals who navigate career transitions well, particularly in tech and design careers where change is constant. We start by swapping “What should I do next?” for better questions that rebuild the skill of knowing what you want. From there, I share why it’s so powerful to ask other people where they see you doing your best work, and how that feedback reveals your edge and your transferable, crossover skills. If you’re struggling to name the destination, I’ll show you how to begin with what you don’t want and use a simple from-to reframe to turn frustration into direction.We also get practical about momentum: you don’t think your way out of uncertainty, you step your way out. I explain how small experiments, targeted conversations, and the learning lens help you evaluate options based on what they’ll teach you, not just title or salary. If you’re ready for a step-by-step process, I also share details about my Career Pivot Pathway course, including the career assessment, edgework, and decision frameworks I teach.Subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next, share this with someone who’s feeling stuck, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Visit  https://www.careerperspectivespod.com/ to learn more and signup for exclusive access to podcast videos!
