re: The Art of Pivoting Careers to Follow Your Passions with Mustafa Ammar

This week, Mustafa Ammar is giving us a crash course in career pivots. An expert in the art himself, he's gone from a career in pharmaceuticals, pivoting to international diplomacy, then switching to investment banking, and now running his own business as a career coach.    Along the way, he developed incredible skills in areas like negotiations, cultural intelligence, and even mastering multiple languages. He opens up about how he took those transferable skills and reskilled himself to become an investment banker focused on infrastructure projects. We discuss his philosophy about continually upskilling and reskilling yourself by getting clear on your core passions, values, and vision for your ideal lifestyle.   Even now that he's teaching others to follow their passions and switch careers with ease, he's still finding other ways to nurture other passions and give back to others in his spare time. His latest passion is launching a non-profit aiming to help 1 million orphans not just dream big about potential careers but to provide resources to actually make those dreams a reality.    Join us in this inspiring discussion about taking ownership of your career path and not letting burnout get the best of you.      Key Topics: Being a career shapeshifter throughout life The inner struggle of picking just one career How choosing diplomacy as a career changed his journey completely What is a diplomat and what do they do?
