94 | Is Fear And Doubt Stopping Your Career Pivot?

Imagine never breaking free from your current career path simply because you fear the unknown, or doubt whether you can succeed at charting a new professional course?

Fear and doubt show up whenever we step into something new. But moving past fear and doubt can open up a whole new world of professional opportunities for you.

Fear and doubt are intertwined. Fear is often a catalyst for doubt and doubt amplifies fear. This episode unpacks how to move past fear, and why courage is built through action, not absence of anxiety.

In this episode, you will learn 5 strategies to help you move past fear and doubt when you want to pivot your career.

• Acknowledge the Doubt: Start by recognizing that doubt is a natural part of any major life change.
• Identify the Source: Try to pinpoint where their doubt is coming from.
• Reflect on Your Why: Revisit your motivations for wanting to pivot.
• Visualize Success: Use visualization techniques to imagine your success in a new career path.
• Take Action - When you take action you are intentionally moving past that fear and doubt as the action itself liberates you from the trappings of fear and doubt.

Journaling activity: Ask yourself these 2 questions:

• 'What am I afraid will happen if I pivot my career—and is there truth in that fear?'
• ‘What can I do to overcome fear and doubt?’

Fear loses power when we call it out. And its bestie, DOUBT will then have little to no power over use, or place in the path that lies ahead.

Courage grows through momentum!!
