Welcome back to Beyond the Shop Floor Podcast – our final episode for the year!
What a year it has been – I want to thank you all for your support and feedback – there is a lot of work that goes into a podcast and for me this is a passion project that is all about advocating for careers in retail – This year was really all about testing the waters learning what everyone was responding to and committing to being really consistent with content.
This year has been bittersweet on a professional and personal level – I feel like so much has been accomplished - We launched a new website this week, navigated digital transformations, I am growing the team and I completed my postgraduate to certify as a Career Coach. PHEW no wonder I am feeling tired!
Of course, it hasn’t all been roses – but whatever is? Personally, it has been a challenging year for me on so many levels like it has been for most of us, with the year ending in a totally different way and different location to what I thought. This reflection got me to thinking about with everyone talking about labour shortages and the impending Great resignation – there will be a LOT of people post 2020/2021 aka dirty Rona pondering a total game changer when it comes to career. Thinking about totally hitting up the pivot can feel conflicting super exciting – but oh so scary particularly if it could mean a financial sacrifice. So today join me as I share my personal story of career pivots and evolution – one that saw me take a $50k salary cut to do it, whether I have any regrets and the biggest lessons I learnt along the way.
Tune in for one last time in 2021 – and I will see you beautiful people back here for a bright new year around the corner! Stay safe and happy holidays!
As always tune in, tell us your thoughts, and if you love the content please leave us a review or share the pod – we love the love!
