Welcome to the 9th episode of Reach Minds – ‘Thoughts for Your Life Journey’ podcast. Today, we will be exploring career transitions, focusing on the internal changes and psychological shifts we encounter and how we manage them. The world of work has changed enormously, particularly since COVID-19, with more people working from home, more people on zero-hours contracts, multiple generations in the workplace, and the arrival of generative AI.

I am joined today by my colleague Janice Taylor, a career and leadership development coach.

In this podcast, we pose the following questions on career transitions:

• What got you started working with clients on career transitions?
• Janice, you mentioned aspects of your own career journey. How does this connect with the work you do with your clients in terms of patterns and observations about careers today?
• What internal changes do you see your clients go through in the context of an imposed ending or a choice?
• What kind of models do you use that are helpful for clients, such as the Hudson Renewal model?
• What would be your departing wisdom for people listening to this podcast?

Janice helps her clients make choices and changes that move them forward with renewed energy, focus, and resilience. They develop the capability to continuously create their future and become more fulfilled.

Janice is also currently writing her first book, Thin Sandwich, a collection of stories based on her four years as an undergraduate engineer in the early eighties.
