Are there limitless possibilities with no clear answer?
It’s hard work. Career change is a process, not a formula, and takes time.
Test Your Ideas
You might need to take action while working another job and “experiment with divergent possibilities while delaying commitment to any one of them. In doing so, you’ll have to think more creatively and will obtain more information about yourself and your options.”
Energize Your Network
Mid career, any pivot relies on other people – start by bridging and bonding. “You need to build your relationships in two ways: by bridging, which involves creating or reactivating relationships beyond your current social circle, and bonding, which involves deepening ties and finding community within a close circle of kindred spirits.”
Get your story down and then “engage with others and tell them your story—again and again.”
Trust the process, interact and experiment and you will find your way!
