When is the Best Time to Make a Career Pivot? With Natalie Benamou - Ep 195

In this episode, I featured a recent livestream interview with Natalie Benamou, where we discussed the best time to make a pivot in your career or business. We explored this topic in depth, making it particularly insightful for those who are recently self-employed, thinking of becoming self-employed, have been self-employed for a while, or even those currently in corporate roles contemplating a change. Natalie shared her journey from a long career in trade shows to founding Her C-Suite, a company focused on supporting women in the second half of their careers. We also dove into various types of pivots such as internal corporate moves, location changes, and shifts from corporate careers to entrepreneurship. Additionally, we touched on the importance of networking, learning continuously, and the concept of 'net giving.' 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:37 Livestream Setup and Audience Engagement 01:09 Meet Natalie Benamou 01:51 Defining a Career Pivot 02:50 Personal Experiences with Pivoting 07:24 Networking and Support Systems 14:13 Standing Desks and Personal Well-being 18:02 A Sip of Michigan Pride 18:36 Expanding Her C-Suite's Focus 20:30 Embracing AI in Business 21:44 The Great Wealth Transfer of 2030 22:35 The Importance of Continuous Learning 28:40 Finding Joy in Problem Solving 31:08 Career Pivots and Self-Employment 33:02 Final Thoughts and Contact Information CONNECT with Natalie on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nataliebenamou/ Learn More about Natalie's services: https://hercsuite.com/ Learn More about Innovation Women: https://innovationwomen.com/?sscid=31k7_88wpe& Support the show ************************************** My name is Brenda Meller.
