Vou falar da minha experiência de transi??o para Gest?o de Pessoas. Eu anotei no papel tudo o que eu era boa e tudo o que eu n?o era boa, fui estudar sobre vários assuntos para encontrar o que eu mais me identificava, falei com pessoas da área, me conectei no LinkedIn com pessoas da área, atualizei o meu CV e meu perfil do LK para o meu novo objetivo profissional. E sabe uma coisa que me ajudou muito? Eu pensei na Carol da infancia: o que a Carol sempre fez que ela n?o mudou? O que ela sempre gostou de fazer? Aí eu percebi o quanto eu sempre gostei de estar com pessoas, de ajudar as pessoas a serem melhores, de ouvir, de liderar, de organizar... Enfim, percebi que eu sempre soube o que eu queria, só demorou um pouco para cair a ficha rs

In my opinion, If you feel at any stage that you are in a wrong profession, it might be due to your lack of attention in that work. Yes may be you are in a wrong profession. But think you joined that profession because you find nothing for bread and butter in your right profession. Now you must prove that you are able to do this profession with full zeal.

When considering a career change, it's crucial to ensure your reasons are thoroughly thought out, not just based on a singular event or peer influence. It's important to take time, allow your rationale to mature, and avoid hasty decisions driven by external pressures.

Career change is not rocket science! Career change is about: - do you recognizing your goals? - do you understanding the market? - do you knowing your skills and the gaps? - most importantly, do you have a growth mindset? - do you work best as a people manager or can switch to individual roles easily? If you say ‘yes’ to most of the above, you have a flexi-mindset and will see every ‘CHANGE’ as a ‘CHANCE’ #careerchange #careercoach #mknetworkinc

I wants to share my own example. By nature and experience I am trainer/HR/OD person. But I would also love to grab better opportunity without thinking it's challenges & role nature. First I worked Head of Operations of auto Care, then I joined some prestigious organization in admin & Security. But aside of these all I don't forget my passion of training. I'll find my ways to continue training and as a result these trainings helps me to relax during my hectic job routine.

Celebrate, as you are about to do something that makes you happy. There are no set steps to happiness but if you consider a career change it is usually for a good reason. So do not overthink it.

If you have a great head on your body, you can make lots of things work if you want them bad enough.

Nowadays, career shifts are becoming a trend where flexibility, work-life balance are no longer a “nice to have” in work place.

Once this step is completed, options are endless specially that social media platform like Linkedin is easing access to industry experts.
