We explored the internal and external drivers for career transition and the importance of paying attention to our emotions. The beliefs we hold and difficulties on switching careers, especially when you’re good at your job, yet you feel frustrated, angry, and there is a loss of meaning. Loig stressed the importance of self-assessment/inventory and how it has helped him in being ready for new opportunities. He also highlighted how a dedicated investment in his personal and professional development supported his career switches while he used the Eisenhower matrix to keep focussed. Beyond Loig’s impressive corporate career track he also shared his entrepreneurial experiences, and what it was like to leave his first business behind. Some golden advice for those starting to get the itch to switch careers included the value of having a vision and connecting with your emotions.
