In this episode, I discuss what it means to take a career LEAP. It’s the form of career change people talk of most, but also the one most people don’t execute on.

The problem is that this new role or idea feels so far removed from what they’re currently doing that they don’t know how they would even begin to make it happen. They also wonder if it really is the right pa...

If you’re not enjoying what you’re currently doing, you might be wanting to change your role, organisation or the industry that you work in.

In this episode, I challenge that thought. After all, if this was true, y...
