Transitioning to a new career can be challenging, especially when it involves moving from a long-established role in teaching to the dynamic and fast-growing field of technology. Having the backing of your loved ones can make a significant difference. In this podcast episode, I delve into a firsthand account of my experience unpacking the emotional and practical elements that come into play when embarking on a career pivot with your family by your side. I share five key strategies I learned for winning my family's support during my career transition. The goal is to strike that delicate balance between personal growth and family life, ensuring those you love are part of the conversation every step of the way.
