312 I Why Your Default Thinking Is Limiting Your Career Opportunities

Feel like you’ve been spending months trying to figure out your next career move, but haven’t actually made any progress? Are you frustrated by the gap between knowing you want a change and actually taking the steps to make it happen? Do you worry that you’re "too old," "not experienced enough," or that a move might sacrifice your financial security? In this episode, I’m sharing why strategy might not be your problem and why your default thinking is the issue. Many professionals stay stuck on the "career couch" because of unconscious "background code" that limits what they believe is possible and therefore holds them back from career opportunities. Using my own journey to the TEDx stage as a roadmap, I’m digging into the cognitive psychology model that you can use to increase your career opportunities and thrive. You’ll learn: How to identify the thoughts that are holding you back How to rewrite your mental scripts How to ditch procrastination and start redesigning your career.
