Manage episode 379582441 series 2854910
Ever felt stuck in a career rut, or maybe you're yearning for a change but don't know where to start? Meet Alan Heyman, an executive and leadership coach who's not only navigated the treacherous waters of career transitions himself, but now mentors others through their own, showing us that it's not only possible but can lead to a fulfilling career that truly aligns with our strengths. Alan's personal journey from a communications professional to a leadership coach is nothing short of inspiring. He shares his experience with the inverted pyramid technique – a tool he picked up in journalism school – and how it can be used to powerfully tell your career story.
But it's not just about saying 'yes' to new opportunities. Alan also highlights the power and privilege of saying 'no' during career transitions. Understanding this can help you hone your strengths, find the right environment and break free from a stuck mindset. You'll hear about how one of Alan's clients drafted an idealized job description and landed that exact job! Prepare to be empowered as Alan encourages you to explore the universe of possibilities available to you, proving that you have more choices than you might think. Listen to your intuition, build your network and take control of your career journey. It's time to start exploring.
