The more I work in career change & alignment, the more infatuated I become with this beautiful transformative experience. I believe that our quest for purpose & career fulfilment is magic & mystery above strategy. I think this process is not dissimilar to alchemy. In this process we too metaphorically transform lack of meaning into awareness, harmony & purpose.  Career change is an identity shift which means that through this process we, first & foremost, crystallise the authentic self and eliminate the inauthentic parts - the old beliefs, concepts, wounds, fears & all that is in a way of achieving self-actualisation.  There are 7 stages in spiritual alchemy that I’ve also come to identify within any career shift journey.  I share these with you in this episode.***Schedule a consultation call to take this work further:https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/45min***Instagram:@vilma.usaite

In this week's episode I'm inviting you to revisit belief work & learn more about the importance of a story. The stories we tell ourselves about our lives, about our future, about our careers determine our reality. We are our stories.

This week we are talking about building solid foundations within your career change journey.If you are considering a new career path - here's one piece of advice I have for you - less is more. I spend many hours of my day connecting with career changers - many of them are very eager to rush into implementing a myriad of vague career/ business ideas. They have this long list of unfulfilled wishes and a deep sense of urgency - to fulfil them all, at the same time.   As you can imagine that attitude leads to massive overwhelm. And overwhelm does NOT lead to action. It leads to procrastination, avoidance, distraction, which then perpetuates that state of stuckness and helplessness even more. That is NOT the space from which you want to be making long-term decisions regarding your future.  In this episode I invite you to view your career design process in the way you'd plan to build a house from the ground up - by starting with solid foundations.***Schedule a consultation call to take this work further:https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/60min***Instagram:@vilma.usaite

This week by popular demand, I’m walking you through the symptoms of a misaligned path.  You might be familiar with the emotional impact a career that you have outgrown is having on you - but what about physical symptoms? Through the years of working with many career changers, I have witnessed and collected a number of physical symptoms signaling that it’s time to shift. As you know, my philosophy is holistic which means that I will often analyse the less obvious symptoms and messages that our intricate system is sending. Listen to the episode to learn more about these symptoms and how they may be related to embodying your purpose.  ***Schedule a consultation call to take this work further:https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/60min  *** Instagram: @vilma.usaite

It's very effective in helping you clearly and schematically understand the causal relationship between your circumstances, thoughts, feelings, actions and results.You probably have often heard various teachers and literature talk about the idea of your thoughts creating your reality - but how does it ACTUALLY happen and is it even true?Make sure you listen to the full episode and also do the little love work assignment I'm sharing with you at the end of the episode.

This week's episode is an introduction to thought work - which is the very first aspect I address with every single client of mine going through a career change.A lot of our thoughts we have surrounding career change are unquestioned.  If you have a choice to think thoughts that make you question your worth, make you believe that you literally have no future and your life will be this boring small existence  OR think supportive thoughts, that remind you of what’s available for you, make you feel better about yourself, inspire hope and induce energy -  why won't you choose the latter?Tune into the episode to learn exactly how to do that.***Schedule your first call to take this work further:https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/60min***Instagram:@vilma.usaite

Are you one of those people who love to secretly fantasise how one day you'll hand in your resignation letter to your boss and proudly walk out of the room? I know it has definitely been me in the past and in this episode I'm sharing my advice on how to prepare for the inevitable career change.First tip - I invite you to NOT rush to dramatically hand in that resignation just yet.I cover strategies to take on way ahead of your planned quitting date and I share the most important aspects for you to work out before you even inform anyone (even your closest colleagues!) about your leaving.While in this podcast I do not usually talk about the strategies - I'm a believer that the tangibles of career change are just one-tenth of all the work a full-blown career change will entail - I'm not oblivious to the fact that we need to have a basic understanding of how to make the most out of your resignation.That is exactly what this episode is about - how to quit your job like a boss. ***Schedule your first call to take this work further:https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/60min***Instagram:@vilma.usaite

In this week's episode we are chatting about career change and financial fears.One of the main reasons why mid-career professionals struggle with embracing the idea of a career change is their fear of having to accept a significant cut in the salary. They also fear that  they may need to 'regress' in their career and perhaps even take on a junior role in order to embark on a different career path.My take on this is slightly unorthodox - I do not believe it has to be the case. It can be, but it doesn't have to.There are ways in which a career switch can be orchestrated that does not only entail a pay cut AND may even involve a significant growth in income.

In this Career-Changer Series episode, I interview the charming Lois Letchford, who went from PE teaching to becoming a reading specialist and literacy problem solver. Her journey, however, was not very straightforward one - her career change was not necessarily voluntary or intentional, at least to start with. She went from living her life as an undiagnosed dyslexic, and having to, essentially, from the scratch create principles and unique techniques to help her son, who also is dyslexic, learn how to read. The same son who was initially branded by his teacher as one of the worst students she’s seen in years - low IQ and incapable to read. The very same son who later went on and got his Ph.D. from Oxford University.  A mother who didn’t give up now has laid the foundations and inspired hope in thousands (perhaps even millions in the future) of mothers and kids with a neurodiverse brain with reading difficulties.Tune in to hear this awe-inspiring story and collect your pearls of wisdom. *** Connect with Lois and explore her resources: https://www.loisletchford.com/ Book: Reversed: A Memoir" by Lois Letchford (Official Book Trailer) - YouTube Reversed: A Memoir: Lois E Letchford: 9781947392052: Amazon.com: Books Article “The Reading Teacher” https://ila.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/trtr.2038 Social media: https://www.linkedin.com/in/loisletchford/ https://twitter.com/LetchfordLois https://www.instagram.com/loisletchford/ *** Schedule your first call to take this work further: https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/60min *** Instagram: @vilma.usaite

Self-sabotage is THE curse word that I hear a lot. My new clients often share that they feel like they contain this inner battle inside of them whenever they express the need to change something up, especially when they commit to embark on a career change.They share that there's one part of them that wants to transition and do whatever it takes - and then there's that other part that works hard to sabotage all and any efforts. That part is so convincing and strong that they often quit without even having started.Can you relate? If your answer is YES, then I invite you to listen to this episode where I explain what evolution and your perceived laziness has in common.I explain what resistance is, how it works and what's the purpose of it.I also share a simple 3-step process to start engaging and eventually overcoming your inner resistance to unlock the door to possibility.***Schedule your first call to take this work further:https://calendly.com/coachvilmausaite/60min***Instagram:@vilma.usaite

This week's episode is a little different - I’m sharing a recorded interview on a holistic approach to a career change.While in my mind taking a holistic approach is an obvious golden thread weaved into everything that I do, this interview made me realize that, unfortunately, it's still not a necessarily common approach to switching careers. So, in this interview, I share a very high-level explanation as to how I arrived at this holistic approach. I also walk through a bird's eye view process on how to uncover your career and life of alignment.
