0:08
Hi, I'm Danny Tan and if you are here, you are in the right
0:12
place. Welcome to the Pivot and
0:13
Promotion podcast where we say forget the rules because they
0:16
weren't written for us. I'm Danny Tan, I'm your host as
0:19
well as career and leadership coach and a proud advocate for
0:22
redefining what success and leadership looks like.
0:24
And here's what I know. You can lead at any level.
0:27
You can pivot at any age and you can make moves that feel right
0:30
for you, whether you're climbing the perfect ladder, starting
0:33
something completely new, or just figuring out your next
0:35
step. I've got you covered with
0:37
strategies, stories, and straight up inspiration.
0:39
So let's make some moves. Hi, how are you?
0:47
Today we're going to talk about how to pivot your career without
0:49
starting over. Now this topic in general was
0:54
the topic that kind of launched me within this space A lot like
0:57
about 334 years ago. And so the reason why I feel
1:02
like it can be such a popular topic about pivoting careers or
1:05
changing your career is because a lot of the times we are raised
1:10
or we grow up believing that we can only have one set career
1:14
that we have to like build momentum piece by piece builder
1:16
careers within one path. And then it becomes then very
1:20
scary to try to change it to something new.
1:22
And so I want want to talk about how you can change your career,
1:24
you can pivot your career without completely starting
1:27
over. I think it's important for so
1:29
many different lenses in the sense of life should not be all
1:32
or nothing. And you should not be tied to
1:34
one thing just cuz that's what you started out with.
1:36
And it can be very, very scary to feel like you are restarting,
1:39
but there is a way to do it without restarting.
1:41
You have so much great goodness, expertise, experience within you
1:46
for what is you've done already, whether that's one year to 10
1:49
years to 15 years to 20 years plus.
1:52
And so we just need to kind of break it down into a plan of
1:54
what that looks like. So we'll do that today.
1:57
All right, I'm going to go ahead and jump in if we have not met
2:00
yet. You heard the intro, but I'm
2:01
Danny Tan. I'm a career leadership coach
2:02
and I myself have pivoted careers five times, PR sales,
2:05
merchandising, e-commerce, you name it all achieving 11
2:08
promotions in 11 years. I love career development from
2:11
my corporate career of being AVP to multi builder company.
2:14
When it came to helping build out teams, higher teams, trained
2:17
teams when it came to looking at different kinds of attack and
2:20
platforms to see what would best help an organization or a
2:23
business. To the volunteer that I do with
2:24
an organization called American Needs You, which helps 1st and
2:27
2nd Gen. college students get internships, figure out their
2:30
careers. And so this has always been a
2:31
love and passion of mine. So let's dive in.
2:34
So I have some slides for today. I would like us to go ahead and
2:39
kick it off. And if you're like, oh, I want
2:41
more sessions like this, you can always go to
2:43
mywebsite@dannytan.com, DANITA n.com.
2:46
And you can check out where there are more episodes like
2:49
this under the podcast page. All right, so here's the biggest
2:53
thing. It is fear that is keeping you
2:55
stuck. So if you have been sitting on
2:57
this idea of wanting to change your career for quite some time
3:00
and you have not taken action on it.
3:01
And I want you to take true inventory with yourself and be
3:04
really honest with yourself. How long has it been that you
3:07
have been sitting and thinking about wanting to change and you
3:10
haven't? Has it been months?
3:12
Has it been years? Because normally it is typically
3:14
years that I hear folks say that I've always wanted to try this,
3:17
this new thing, but they haven't necessarily gone after.
3:20
And the fear is going to keep you stuck.
3:21
And here are some reasons why. And before we dive in, just in
3:25
case it's not absolutely clear, I help everyone, but who I
3:28
especially help are first, second Gen. women of color.
3:32
So if you are an immigrant to the United States, if you are
3:34
first or second generation, if you are the first or second in
3:37
your family to go ahead and graduate university or college.
3:40
If you are the 1st in your family to pursue the particular
3:43
career path that you're going out after.
3:45
If there's any way you should perform where you feel like you
3:47
are truly the one, the only one of the few that is doing what it
3:53
is that you're doing and you're trying to navigate changing your
3:57
careers like you're in the right place, this is I'm here for you.
4:00
So just know that my own background, I'm Asian, Latina,
4:02
I'm Puerto Rican, Filipino and Chinese.
4:04
And so there's so much complexity that comes to these
4:06
intersections of cultures and identities and how that has a
4:10
ripple effect on how we take action.
4:11
It's not a bad thing, but it's just things to notice in
4:14
general. And so if you are like me, you
4:16
are very much potentially raised to be like, you pick one thing
4:19
and you stick with it. And you have safety and security
4:22
through this job and you grow from it, and that's what you
4:25
have to do. It feels really shaky to our
4:27
nervous system, to our minds, to our bodies to try to make a
4:29
change. And so there are so many
4:32
professionals who want to make a change, but there is this fear.
4:36
And the fear could come up for a couple of reasons. 1, you feel
4:38
you're going to lose seniority. You don't want to go back to
4:41
junior roles. And you're kind of nervous about
4:43
that, right? The other thing, it could be you
4:45
don't want to take a pay cut. So you're worried about taking
4:48
some kind of salary cut in some big way.
4:50
You're worried about your financial safety and security.
4:53
Hey, you pay your bills. You're like, I am my own plan.
4:55
There is no one who I have as a backup to take care of me.
4:58
There is no trust fund. There is no parent who will jump
5:01
in and save me. And so that might be something
5:03
that's important to you or you're like, Hey, I have a
5:05
family that I'm taking care of and then wasting experience.
5:08
You don't want all of your hard earned education, training,
5:12
growth, development, years of putting your time in to go to
5:15
waste, to have to start completely new.
5:17
And then also, let's be real, you have a little fear of
5:19
judgement. You're having a little bit of
5:21
fear of how people perceive me or think about me or judge me
5:24
for starting over or for doing something new.
5:27
And so I just want you to know that these are all real things
5:30
that come up when it comes to changing your career.
5:32
And it is essentially what is part of the one of these reasons
5:36
is why you're probably probably staying stuck and not making the
5:38
move. And so that's OK.
5:40
Just wanted to acknowledge that's coming up for you.
5:42
And how do you feel about that? Like how do you feel about one
5:46
of these reasons or maybe it's not on here, but how do you feel
5:49
about what is driving you? What is driving you not to take
5:53
the chance, not to take the step forward, not to make a change?
5:56
And are you happy with that? Are you happy with what's
5:58
driving that? So I want you to think about how
6:01
starting over, the idea of starting over is not the way to
6:04
go about it. It's not the way to frame it.
6:06
And like, let's kind of go into a little bit more.
6:08
So the reality is, is that you already have so much experience.
6:11
I was alluding to it before. And so the problem is it is not
6:15
about you going into something new and not having the skills,
6:18
right? It is not knowing necessarily
6:20
how to leverage your experience and skills and translate them so
6:25
it makes sense of the person that's interviewing you for your
6:28
future boss, for your future organization.
6:30
So it's not that you don't have existing skills, is that maybe
6:33
you don't necessarily have the you haven't worked the muscle of
6:36
how to translate those skills to a new position and then be able
6:40
to showcase and tell a story of how you've done it and show your
6:42
value. So it's not like the the fact if
6:45
you're not capable, it's just being able to pull that out,
6:49
translate it, and then share it. I always joke with my clients.
6:52
I feel like majority of my job is translation.
6:56
I feel like I'm constantly translating a job description,
6:58
what it says in corporate gibberish and explaining it in
7:00
plain English so that way my client and I can tackle what
7:03
their past experiences and how it lines up to what it is that
7:06
they want to do. Listen, I grew up in a household
7:09
with many different languages with many different accents
7:11
throughout my entire life and translating from this and this.
7:14
So I don't know if that superpower translated over into
7:17
this, but for some reason, it became one of my superpowers to
7:20
one, listen to my clients and what their experience and their
7:23
background is to take job descriptions that sound like
7:26
corporate gibberish and then translate it into plain English.
7:29
And then I'm able to connect the dots between what my clients do
7:32
and what the roles that they're going after.
7:34
And then I teach them how to do that skill so they're able to
7:36
repeat it. So that way you're able to start
7:38
to identify, OK, what does translating my skills mean?
7:42
How do I do that? And so we do that by
7:44
understanding what they're looking for, the inventory of
7:47
what you already have, and then translating it and drawing the
7:49
line by telling stories, sharing value of what you've done.
7:53
So it drives that impact home. So I want you to remember that
7:56
you're not starting over. It's just about really learning
7:59
how to position, reframe and speak to the experience that you
8:02
have and take inventory in it. And sometimes it takes an
8:06
outside perspective to help do that, whether that's a family
8:08
member, a friend, a colleague, a Co worker, a former Co worker, a
8:12
boss. Sometimes we need somebody
8:13
outside of us to be like, wait a minute, let's shine a light on
8:17
this. Do you see and notice this?
8:20
And so I just want you to know, like changing careers does not
8:22
erase the past. It actually is an opportunity
8:26
for you to take the past experiences and the present
8:28
experience that you have and reposition it.
8:31
And so people will get stuck still because of a couple
8:35
reasons. You start to you start to
8:37
overthink. You're like, OK, well, I don't
8:39
know. Is this direction the best
8:41
direction? Is that direction the best
8:43
direction? Do I have this one thing, this
8:45
other skill? Maybe I should talk to this
8:47
person. And so you go into overthinking
8:49
mode of scenario ABCDE and I am an overthinker.
8:53
Like don't get me wrong, I love to overthink things and for our
8:57
safety and security for our minds, a lot of us have over use
9:02
the ability to overthink to protect ourselves, right?
9:05
That's a protective mechanism. If I understand all the possible
9:09
scenarios, then I'll be safe because I'm anticipating and
9:13
understanding what could become potentially coming up and
9:16
assessing risk. And so that's from a place of
9:18
safety to protective mechanism. But what I want you to
9:21
understand is that when we overanalyze for too much right
9:26
past there's a pasta point, there's a tipping point of over
9:30
overanalyzing and overthinking that then starts to create
9:33
mental exhaustion and no progression.
9:36
Right now you're actually not tackling what it is you want to
9:39
tackle or taking action. Now you've actually also
9:41
exhausted yourself mentally because you've gone through all
9:43
these scenarios and then here you are.
9:45
So that will actually get you stuck before you begin.
9:47
The other part is waiting for this certainty, right?
9:50
So a lot of the times folks are like, I just need to make sure
9:53
I'm, I'm 100% sure this is the right path.
9:55
If I'm not sure this is the right path to move forward with,
9:58
then I can't redo my resume. Then I can't apply for jobs and
10:01
I can't network, Then I can't start talking to people.
10:03
I have to be so sure this is the right thing.
10:06
Lady, how will you know unless you experiment?
10:09
And so the biggest thing I have to say is this, if you have 3
10:13
paths you're trying to figure out, knowing that you don't have
10:15
to take the three paths and pick the one that's going to be the
10:18
best one and go all in on it. There is experimentation here.
10:21
You don't wait for certainty, you have to take action.
10:24
Action helps you create certainty because you will then
10:27
have more information, more data, more feedback to then know
10:30
what is the path you want to move forward.
10:32
So I always tell my clients, if you have 3 paths, then pick path
10:36
A to start to explore. We do an experiment for for 30
10:39
days and then you start to see how you feel about it.
10:41
If you're like, yes, no, maybe. So then we go to path B, you
10:43
start to experiment and then you see.
10:44
And that is how you decide what path it is that you want to go
10:47
down. If you're trying to wait for the
10:49
aha light bulb moment, you will not get it.
10:51
You will get it from taking action and experimenting.
10:53
And the last piece is there's this fear of like making the
10:56
wrong choice, making the wrong move.
10:58
Hello, recovering perfectionist here.
11:00
So it's like, I want to make sure I'm picking the perfect
11:03
choice when it comes to the optimal things that I want in my
11:05
life, the optimal salary, remote work, these roles and
11:10
responsibilities. But I have to make sure it's at
11:12
this timing in my life, at this level.
11:14
OK, well, if we are so worried we're going to make the wrong
11:18
move, then we're not going to make any move.
11:19
They're going to be frozen because we're going to be so
11:21
frozen by our perfectionism will paralyze us and we will not take
11:25
a step forward. And so just understanding that
11:27
there are ways to explore opportunities and learn from
11:31
them and gather from them without having to make ourselves
11:34
stopped for making the wrong choice.
11:36
And so I want you to think and remember this, that clarity
11:38
comes from taking action, not from overthinking, OK?
11:43
Clarity comes from taking action, not from overthinking.
11:46
And that any small step forward that you take is not permanent,
11:50
does not have to be perfect, and it helps you start to collect
11:54
information on what it is that you want to do.
11:56
So let's go ahead and talk about what a strategic pivot looks
12:00
like and does not look like. So if you want to pivot
12:02
strategically, what it does not look like is I am not
12:05
recommending that you quit without a safety plan or an
12:08
action plan. I always talk to my clients
12:10
about having a smart transition plan or a quit your job plan
12:14
before you go and make a big jump.
12:15
Because the biggest thing that I've learned is not having
12:18
financial safety and security, especially if you are somebody
12:21
who has lived in financial scarcity or was grew up in a
12:24
home that had financial scarcity.
12:27
It is very hard to find a job if you are nervous about your
12:30
finances. And so the best way for us to
12:33
help you show up with the best energy to your job search is
12:36
when you're doing this when you are not like with your, your
12:40
back against the wall, but when you have the freedom and
12:42
flexibility and the financial safety to do it.
12:43
So we talked about what that financial plan looks like.
12:46
And then we also say it's not about starting from the
12:48
beginning and losing all the years of progress.
12:50
That is not not the case and it's not abandoning everything
12:52
that you built. I'm going to work with you when
12:54
we work together on is leveraging all the experience
12:56
and skills that you have to help propel you towards that you want
13:00
to go. And So what a strategic pivot
13:03
actually does look like, it is identifying those transferable
13:05
skills that we were talking about.
13:07
It's taking 11 path out of the three, taking that and testing
13:11
it to see through action if you like it.
13:12
And then it's creating evidence through conversations and
13:14
projects. I truly, truly believe in
13:17
evidence based confidence. So how can you build your
13:19
confidence through evidence and data collection, not just
13:23
through like wishful thinking or mantras or meditation or
13:27
positive affirmation. I believe in all those things,
13:29
don't get me wrong, but I do believe, especially when you're
13:32
somebody who maybe came from a background that feels a little
13:35
bit shaky, where you need to make sure you're really sure
13:38
about your next step and all these decisions carry lots of
13:40
weight. It's super important to collect
13:42
data and evidence you can feel like it's real and build the
13:45
self trust in yourself, this confidence in yourself and that
13:47
you feel like you've really vetted the decision.
13:49
And so I've had so many clients who have wanted to make a career
13:53
pivot and they were scared. I have clients who were like in
13:55
their 50s, in their 40s, in their 20s, who all wanted to
13:58
make changes. And the biggest fear that comes
14:00
up is am I starting over? Will I throw everything out the
14:04
window? Will I lose my finances?
14:05
And let me tell you, they have pivoted and they have done it
14:08
and they have done it not just by taking something lateral.
14:11
They've done it and taken 2 jobs up, two promotions up.
14:14
They've taken it and doubled their salaries, gone 50K in
14:16
their salaries, 20K in their salaries increases.
14:19
And so it is possible, it does take time and it does take work,
14:22
but you can either continue to sit at your job for more years
14:28
questioning it and not being happy about it, or you can start
14:31
taking action now. I mean, it's like it's up to
14:32
you. It's truly up to you.
14:33
But I have such a passion about this just because I hate the
14:37
fact that I feel like a lot of the times we're fed that you
14:39
must just stick to one lane and that this is all you can be.
14:43
And so the biggest thing that I find with folks who want to
14:45
pivot their careers is that when you were little, when you were
14:47
young, you wanted to do something.
14:49
And maybe maybe a parent or a family member or someone in your
14:52
life told you you should pick something that's more safe or
14:55
pick something that's more secure or pick something that is
14:58
a sure bet. And so you picked something
15:00
else. And now as an adult, you are
15:02
unhappy with what it is. And a lot of the times I see
15:04
that those clients end up going back to what they wish they
15:07
wanted to be. And so I want you to know that
15:09
it's possible. That's it, period.
15:11
I had a catch up call with one of my clients today.
15:13
She pivoted careers two years ago.
15:16
So she's been in that role for two years now and she's looking
15:18
to get to her next level. And I have my clients for life.
15:21
And I always joke, I'm like, so even two years later, I'm just
15:24
catching up with her to see how she's doing.
15:26
And she said to me, you know, I have a friend.
15:28
And she keeps talking about how she's not happier a job.
15:31
And she's been complaining and complaining.
15:33
And I keep telling her, you don't have to be that way.
15:35
And I keep telling her to go to you because, you know, I came to
15:38
you years ago and here I am. And she pivoted a career.
15:41
She has a higher salary. She's doing the work that she
15:43
wants to do. And so I just say this because I
15:45
want this for you and I've done it myself many times over and I
15:50
couldn't be happier with the work that I do now.
15:52
So let's go ahead and talk about translating your experience
15:55
instead of downplaying it. Here's The thing is that when
15:58
you talk about like your skills, that is not necessarily going to
16:00
drive at home for you. So the things that I want you to
16:02
start to think about and brainstorm for yourself and your
16:05
career pivot is translating what your experiences and the value
16:10
that you brought, right? So no, just list out the things
16:12
that you've done, but how did it bring value?
16:14
So let's say it's project management, right?
16:17
So thinking about what was maybe the road map of the projects
16:20
that you worked on overall, Like did you were able to increase or
16:24
decrease the timeline? What was the goals for that
16:26
project? Were there different like
16:28
revenue goals for it that you were able to hit or achieve once
16:30
the project launched? Or the different stakeholders
16:33
that you're able to influence and think about those things and
16:35
how they're going to relate to that new role is how you start
16:38
to prepare for networking, how you start to prepare for
16:40
interviewing, how you start to prepare your resume.
16:42
And just, I don't want you to downplay 'cause I feel like our
16:45
go to is to laundry list what's in our job description.
16:47
And it's like, no, honey, that's like not what we were doing
16:50
here. We were like going to beef it
16:52
up, amp it up. And I then I think everyone
16:53
defaults to, I don't want to be bragging.
16:56
And it's like, we're not bragging.
16:57
It's just facts. It's just data, OK?
16:59
It's what you did. And so take ownership of it with
17:01
some metrics. Don't try to don't be lazy with
17:05
yourself, OK? Like I'm sure you're out there
17:07
like hyping up your bestie or your friend or your family
17:10
member, like do the same for yourself.
17:13
And so when it comes to how we collect that data of ourselves
17:16
and take inventory on ourselves, how do we go ahead and validate
17:19
that data? Here we go.
17:21
Because for those of you who are like, great, I've, I've taken my
17:24
skills, I've translated them, but that doesn't mean I'm
17:27
getting a job. Well, then I want you to
17:28
validate with the market in your experience.
17:31
I do this a lot. This is how you create evidence
17:34
based confidence. This is what I work with my
17:35
clients on is networking, relationship building,
17:38
information, interviews, whatever you want to name it and
17:40
call it. It is data collection.
17:42
So I want you to use it to take the things that you know about
17:45
yourself and go and meet people who are in that pivot, who have
17:49
either done a pivot themselves or in that role themselves.
17:51
And I want you to talk to them about your experience and your
17:53
background for them to validate and like re instill in you and
17:59
re believe in you. So you can have this belief in
18:01
yourself of, hey, this is possible based off your skills.
18:04
This is possible based off of your background.
18:06
Now we're not looking for this for like external validation in
18:08
the sense we need people to validate us.
18:10
It is to validate your theory or hypothesis that you can make
18:13
this pivot possible by getting the feedback on them.
18:16
And then last piece, this helps reduce the risk because you feel
18:19
like the risk feels less riskier because now you have gotten
18:22
feedback from people who truly are living and breathing and
18:25
doing that. So This is why it's not about
18:27
asking for favors, asking for a job.
18:30
Like I feel like we think of networking in only one way.
18:34
It is also about having the conversations validate what
18:37
we're trying to do, the path we're trying to go, the
18:39
experience that we have. And if there are gaps, it'll
18:42
help validate it too. And this helps eliminate this
18:45
guesswork and this fear and this risk and helps you gain
18:48
confidence. Networking is how you test the
18:50
demand and not how you beg for permission for something.
18:53
So I have one client, for example, who's trying to make a
18:55
pivot. She was trying to look at
18:57
different paths. She had a path that was going to
18:59
be for something that was going to be more creative, a path that
19:01
was going to be something that was going to be more sales based
19:03
and another path that was going to be more so like marketing
19:05
based. She went and we validated it in
19:07
the course of three months, she validated the three paths and
19:10
then she figured out the path that she wanted to pursue Bada
19:13
Bing. So then when she nailed down
19:15
that path that she wanted to pursue, we went and reworked her
19:18
resume, her LinkedIn, all the above in order for her to go
19:20
after it. And that was through validating
19:22
and testing it by having these conversations and her realizing,
19:25
oh, I can do that job. But after I talked to like these
19:28
10 people, they're day-to-day not for me.
19:30
And now I know versus I always kept wondering and wishing for
19:33
years. Is this my path?
19:34
And did the same with the other two.
19:36
So you don't have to keep sitting here wondering, wishing
19:39
if it's possible. We have, you know, a way to do
19:41
it with a path in front of you. So how you're going to know that
19:45
you're going the right way when it comes to your pivot, Kind of
19:47
like what I touched about one one of my clients is that you'll
19:50
know that you are getting this clear feedback on okay, on your
19:54
background, on your experience and related to those who are
19:56
curling those roles. You'll start to understand like
19:59
okay. What is feeling right when it
20:01
comes to networking? Because now these you're
20:03
starting to build your confidence on how you talk about
20:05
your experience, on how you talk about your background, about how
20:07
you talk about yourself, how about how you pitch yourself.
20:10
So you'll start to know that you're pivoting because now
20:12
you're starting to build this belief in yourself.
20:14
Oh, wait, yeah, I can do this. Look at all the stuff I've done.
20:17
And you're going to build that through these conversations and
20:19
get feedback on what is possible.
20:20
And then it starts to fade, this anxiety and fear of am I
20:24
starting over? Am I messing up?
20:25
Am I picking the wrong thing? Because you've built momentum
20:28
and there's a noticeable shift that I see.
20:30
And then the best part is when the opportunity start to pop up.
20:33
This is my favorite. So one of the clients that I
20:35
mentioned before that she was getting referrals for jobs so
20:38
easy. That was not the intention of
20:40
the conversations. I'm very clear of not having my
20:43
clients lead with that intention because it creates nervousness.
20:46
But it ended up leading to that because you're coming in with
20:48
your best energy. You've practice your pitch,
20:51
you've practice talking about yourself, you practice
20:53
communicating your value and your achievements.
20:55
So now you're coming at these conversations so differently.
20:57
And now this person has to see you for who you are and is
21:00
realizing, wait, you could potentially be a good fit for
21:02
this role. So that's how you know you're
21:04
doing it the right way. So these are the action items I
21:06
love for you to take. If this is something you've been
21:08
mulling on for quite some time so you don't have to have it
21:12
figured out, I want you to take very small steps towards where
21:15
it is. I want you to pick One Direction
21:18
to test. So maybe you've had like 3, 3
21:21
paths you've been curious about for some time now.
21:23
Pick one, pick one that you want to explore for the next 30 days.
21:26
OK. And by exploring it, that could
21:28
be like looking at job descriptions, something super
21:31
simple like that for that one path.
21:33
Don't get distracted. The second piece is I want to
21:35
look at 3 skills that you can talk about that transfer.
21:39
So look at that one path, job descriptions for it.
21:42
Take one job description, look at what it's asking for, and I
21:46
want you to think about, OK, what are three skills that I
21:48
currently have in my job now that translate to this job
21:51
description and write them down, OK.
21:53
And the last piece, I want you to schedule one conversation
21:55
with someone who's in that target role.
21:58
And I want you to talk about your interest in pivoting
22:02
careers. Now, I want you know this, it's
22:04
a numbers game. You can't just assume that if
22:06
you reach out to one person on LinkedIn, you get a one
22:08
response. It's not one to one.
22:10
You're going to have to reach out to a couple people, but at
22:11
least if you get 1 phone call, I want you to get one phone call
22:14
schedule. You're talking to somebody who's
22:15
in that path and talk to them and say, hey, look, I'm looking
22:18
to make a pivot. I would love to just learn about
22:20
your experience and your background on that call.
22:22
I want you to share where does your trying to go, the skills
22:25
that you have that transfer and see what it would be like.
22:28
Hope you like to pivot. So let me know how that goes.
22:30
You can always message me on LinkedIn or e-mail me on my
22:33
e-mail list and reply back. All right, so I want you to know
22:38
again, pivoting does not mean starting over.
22:40
It is truly about learning how to communicate what is that
22:43
you've already done and translate it for something new.
22:45
And so if you have been stuck for a long period of time and
22:48
you're ready to gain some momentum and make it happen, you
22:51
just need a strategy and some support.
22:53
And so if working with me kind of feels like it resonates based
22:56
off of some of the things you've read about me or from listening
22:59
to this workshop, then know that I do work with my clients in
23:02
private coaching. Private coaching is 1 to 1.
23:04
So we work together privately, just you and I, and that is from
23:08
either three months or six months.
23:10
And on the, what we do is we go ahead and create a customized
23:12
coaching plan for you to help tackle what it is that you want
23:14
to do. So if you're looking to pivot
23:17
careers and you have no idea where to start or what path to
23:19
do, I'm your gal. If you know what path that is
23:22
that you want to do, I'm also your gal and we can make it
23:24
happen. And so just know that what you
23:26
need to do is go to mywebsite@dannytan.com.
23:28
That's DANITA n.com and you can go to the contact tab, book a
23:33
call with me. And on that call, what happen is
23:35
you'll fill out in intake form and then on the call, we'll talk
23:39
about what is you're looking to do, what challenges maybe you
23:41
faced. And then I'll give you a
23:43
customized coaching plan of what it would be like to work
23:45
together. Then you decide if you want to
23:46
work together or not. And then when we start working
23:48
together, I'm helping you when it comes to all things of
23:52
exploring a career pivot. What does that look like?
23:54
Interview prep, negotiation, working on your resonate, your
23:57
LinkedIn, being able to have a story Bank of your stories,
24:00
being able to learn how to translate your value and
24:02
communicate the things that you do and so much more.
24:05
And my clients are amazing. They have gone multiple
24:07
promotions in a year, they have gone 2050K, doubled their
24:10
salaries. But the most amazing thing is
24:12
that they are the most amazing women who are making a
24:16
difference. So it's all about, to me,
24:19
getting them in rolls and seats that will help amplify their
24:22
uniqueness, their expertise, so they can continue to make a
24:25
ripple effect of change in society, especially in days like
24:28
these. It's most important.
24:29
And I love this work that I do. And just know, if you're a
24:31
client of mine, you're a client of mine for life.
24:34
And so I hope you have a good one and I hope you enjoy this
24:36
and I will talk to you soon.
