As you enter 2025, you might be contemplating a career change. A range of emotions flows through you: excitement, anxiety, and a bit of overwhelm. The road to this moment has been filled with ups and downs, just like a wild rollercoaster.

Let me see if I can describe the ride to date. There have been lows when you felt stuck, undervalued, and frustrated. These down days led you to dust off your resume and register with a job site. The jobs you saw missed the mark or you didn’t meet the qualifications. You shut down your computer and went to bed.

Upon waking up the next morning, you pulled back. The devil you knew felt safer than the unknown ahead. You took stock of the things you appreciated/tolerated about your current situation and returned to work.

This was the first of many good days and bad days. You tried to stick your head in the sand, but your dissatisfaction got more intense. Now that you have arrived at the New Year, you are determined to make a change.

Good for you! You are not meant to be living a marginal life. The one thing you must know is this: your rollercoaster ride is not over. Career changes are hard work, on both a psychological and a strategic level. Expect the following:

·     Your career change will take longer than you want it to.

·     Your identity will become muddled.

·     You will be tempted to settle.

·     You will need support!
