What’s really most important when deciding a career that fits?
Here’s an 8-day mini-course to get you started!

“When I started I was afraid of making the wrong decision! My career was incredibly important to me and I didn’t want to screw it up or waste time making a move I wouldn’t enjoy! Scott helped me learn what my strengths are and what is most important to me… but more important than that I learned about what I can’t stop doing that I have to have in my work to make me happy”
If you’re ready to make the change, if you’re willing to give yourself the time that you deserve to figure out what’s right for you. If you’re willing to take that time, I think Happen To Your Career, and the Figure Out What Fits course, can be great for a lot of people, if you’re feeling stuck, and you don’t have to bridge that gap to where you are. I think this is a great, great course to really break everything down and give you what you need.
The transition was so much easier than the last and so much more gratifying because of all that I learned with HTYC
I think one of the reasons the podcast has been so helpful to me is because you talk to people in different roles, and all of a sudden I have exposure to people in different roles. Talking about why they got there and what they like about it.
I realized early on in that career transition that if I was going to be able to find a job that was rewarding and in an area I liked, even to just pay rent, I would need help because I wasn’t getting the results I needed
I know how to get introduced to people and talk to folks. I’ve done this remote job search thing a few times. What made it different for me though is that it’s not just an opportunity to change location but to change position. It could be not just a lateral move from one city to another but it could also be a promotion. I was moving my career and experience to an area where I went from leading projects to potentially leading teams…
Sometimes you can stretch yourself and sometimes you need a team to stretch you beyond your best. I think that’s the biggest value from coaching. You have someone in your corner looking out for your best interests. If they are doing their job as good as Lisa did they are pushing you to be the best version of yourself.
My favorite part was focusing on the signature strengths. I really liked that concept and hadn’t heard it before. I realize I’ll never be a singer or a triathlete… Then focusing on what it is that I really want to do. I also liked that both of you were pretty transparent with your stories regarding career and finances.
That is always uplifting, knowing you speak from experience.
If you’re looking for a change, if you’re somebody who is feeling unsatisfied in your work, and you’re not necessarily necessarily sure why that is yet, I feel like, that’s a great way to kind of figure that out, just because of how the program is structured.
I don’t think that I would have necessarily gotten to where I am now without the program, especially when it came to the resume and the interviewing portion, because I feel like those are the hardest two areas for someone who’s trying to switch into something that’s completely different. Having that coaching and that information, and, you know, all those resources available to me to prep me for to be able to present myself in a way where, you know, I’m talking to the hiring managers, and they’re like, hey, well, you know, she doesn’t have, you know, experience in this, but, you know, being able to explain why I’m still a valuable person and why, you know, my other skills are still good fits for, you know, the job that I was applying for, I don’t think I would have had that tools and that skill set and, you know, the roadmaps and the guidance that I would have, that I had with being part of the program. So I’m super, super grateful.
It turned out to be the best fit possible they had all the tools and all the resources. It helped me to approach the job search in a completely different way. It allowed me to put myself out there in a vulnerable way (even in the interviews) and it allowed me to get exactly what I wanted.
The biggest thing in CCB that’s changed my life, it helped me understand that I had an abused way of going back to the unhealthy environment in my current workplace without even realizing what it’s doing to me. Once you helped me see that and once I got out of it, all the other areas of my life also improved!
So it wasn’t just CCB I noticed this career changing and wasn’t just a career change. It was like a whole improvement all areas of life.
