Your four-step guide to a successful career transition
Is God stirring you to make a career change? Is He prompting you to take a leap of faith that feels downright terrifying? I’ve been there. And so has my guest Peggy Bodde.
You may remember Peggy from Episode 26, How to Negotiate a Salary, Raise, or Benefits. Her insight was so good that I had to ask her back to share her story of transitioning from a corporate leader to running her own business as a full-time writer.
Peggy knows what it’s like to face an unknown future, but for some inexplicable reason, you know deep down to your core that if you don’t jump, you will miss out on a remarkable experience.
If you’ve just started to have these stirring feelings or have been on the fence for a while, this episode will give you, as Peggy says, “recycled strength” and practical tips to consider when deciding to say goodbye to the career you’ve known and yes to the miraculous journey of your God-sized calling.
So settle in as we talk about the vital head and heart steps to take to help you make a successful career transition.
