Unlocking Transferable Skills for Meaningful Career Change with Anna Black

What if the skills that made you successful are the same ones making you miserable? In this episode focused on career change and career pivots, Shayla and Kate invite career counsellor Anna Black to discuss transferable skills and how to identify the ones that truly resonate with you. We're not just talking about what you're good at; we're exploring what you actually want to do - and spoiler - they are probably two different things! Together, they unpack the real reasons changing careers feels daunting, how to get unstuck in your career pivot, and why your next step doesn’t have to mean starting over.  From existential crises to actionable steps, they cover important insights: Why being good at something doesn’t mean you should keep doing it How to spot your burnout skills (and why people keep asking you to use them) The role of transferable skills in a career pivot and strategies to pinpoint the right ones What to do when your job looks great on paper but feels all wrong How to find the common thread between what you’ve done and what you genuinely want to pursue.

In this conversation: Anna’s journey from geophysics to career counselling What your past jobs can reveal about your future direction Why it can be difficult to see your own value — and how to change that The surprising way career clarity often starts (hint: it's not Seek) How to reconnect with what energises you This episode is perfect if you're stuck in a job that doesn't feel right but are unsure of your path forward, or if you’re craving a career change, a pivot, or even just a redefined work-life balance.  🔧 Resources & Links 💬 Connect with Anna: https://www.strategiccc.com.au/  📩 Want updates and tips?
