08: Working with a career coach to change careers

Career Switch Podcast: Actionable advice for your career change

Are you thinking about working with a career coach to help with your career change? Bella Holzkenner worked with two career coaches to decide her next move after being in asset management for more than 20 years. One of them was certified career and life coach Deirdre Taylor, who was featured in our last episode about how to figure out your career switch when you’re lost.
Bella tells us about the work she did with her coaches and how Deirdre’s support helped her make the decision to become a mental health counselor—something she resisted at first. She also explains how volunteering and taking on a neutral perspective, which she learned from Deirdre, played an important role in making her career switch.
