Shownotes

From networking as an introvert to talking about our accomplishments without feeling braggy, career transitions require a unique set of skills we're never taught.

Today, I'm speaking with Ava Lala, a career transition coach who discovered these truths firsthand when her team got laid off while she was interviewing for a new role. Instead of taking the obvious next step, she used her severance package to bet on herself and launch her own coaching business.


Listen in this week to discover why confidence is actually a lagging indicator (meaning you don't need to feel ready to start), how to reframe your career narrative so those job jumps make perfect sense, and practical strategies for surviving a job you want to leave while building your exit plan.
