Season 3 Episode 6: How to feel confident leaving a job and taking on a new role

This weeks episode aims to give you that confidence boost you need to leave your job and reassurance if you've just made the leap to a new company. It can be quite a daunting prospect moving on, especially if it's your first job or if you're enjoying where you work but cant see the next step internally. Sometimes you just have to move on. Often you'll find you'll go from feeling super confident in your role, to feeling really out of your depth in a new place. Many companies are same same but different; most of the processes will be similar but be slightly different order, or ways of documenting, or words to describe the same things! It can be exciting and scary, an opportunity to prove to yourself that you know more than you think you know, or even a change to re-invent yourself! So have a listen and hopefully you'll find our discussion supportive and empowering.

Here are our top 3 points from today's episode to give you confidence that sometimes change is the best thing to move forwards…

1. Knowing when to move on, and understanding that when you stop learning it’s time to leave. You can always leave and come back if the opportunity isnt there when you need it, and come back bigger and better…
2. Be brave and try something new - it might be a stepping stone to something greater. You never know where your next role might take you, take every opportunity that comes your way that feels right. Trust your gut, and take a leap of faith!
3. Be open to learnng and understanding how other businesses work, you’ll gain a better understanding of the whole industry, can bring about change in a positive way, and not irritate people by thinking you already know the best way to do something, when you hardly know how the new systems work! Think about bigger picture, not what people will think of you *if* you ask a silly question.
