Lead yourself to greatness. Do not limit yourself. Because you can do a lot for yourself.

‘Self-leadership doesn’t mean you are doing life by yourself, but for yourself and with others.’

‘Change won’t happen outside of you until you decide it need to first take place inside of you.’

‘We either learn to lead ourselves or someone else will happily step in to tell us what our life should be.’

‘Commit to keeping the empowered mindset in place so the resistance you feel transforms into the opportunity you can seize.’

‘If you want to sustain an empowered way of being, you must be kind to yourself.’

‘I know that it’s easier not to own our own choices, journey, or outcomes, but it’s worth it when we open the space to do it.’

‘We need to empower ourselves and not wait to be empowered.’

‘Instead of waiting for someone else to place expectations on you, why not set expectations for yourself?’

‘If you don’t understand your strengths and limitations, it will be hard to discover your power to show up in moments that require advocacy.’

‘When you use your voice, you will experience greater empowerment, engagement, recognition, and overall life satisfaction.’

‘Being authentic … means being willing to show vulnerability.’

‘Clarify define your target. Don’t fear going too narrow: Most people keep their target too broad, which makes it harder for your network to help you, or for a hiring manager to take a chance on you.’

‘Completing the bull’s-Eye Brainstorming Worksheet is a helpful way to keep your target clear, precise, and at the front of your mind.’

‘Values play a key role in career satisfaction. Take these into account when making decisions related to your switch.’

‘Some double Switchers may require a stepping stone career. Depending on the strength of your network, consider if a stepping stone is a useful strategy.’

‘Going back to school might feel like a worthwhile step toward your new career, but remember that a tough job search will still be waiting at the end. Find out if the return on investment is worth it.’

‘The rise of the gig economy is creating new opportunities. Don’t rule this out as a creative way to make your career switch a reality.’

‘Figure out your plan A.’
