Career Agility & Breaking Free from “Shoulds”

Career Agility & Breaking Free from “Shoulds”

Happy New Year! If 2025 has already begun with a mountain of “shoulds” in your mind, you’re not alone. So many of us are caught in the story we think we should be living, rather than the one we truly want to create.

“They said I was crazy to leave PR at my peak. But sometimes, the bravest move isn’t up—it’s sideways.”

After two decades in PR, I knew everything about telling others' stories, yet my own felt painfully misaligned. Imagine it: a PR director orchestrating glamorous campaigns while feeling utterly unfulfilled. I realised that the steps I'd climbed—up a very traditional ladder—weren’t leading to the view I wanted.

So, if you’re thinking about career change this year, here are the four biggest lessons I learned about career agility and designing a life that’s not just successful but meaningful too.

  • The Myth of Linear Success
  • The Power of Lateral Thinking
  • The Permission to Pivot
  • The Reality of Reinvention
