Career Breaks- A Journey of Transformation

Weekly Mantras

Why taking a career break is healthy?

Use your career break to earn practical experience and abilities that might help you achieve a promotion, transfer to a new position, or break into a whole new field rather than guilt-tripping over it!

For example:

• Lead a group of volunteers, supervise an excursion, or become a ski patroller.
• A paid career as an English teacher might lead to a new position in training, teaching, or abroad work.
• Managing a bar at a ski resort would also provide you with management and leadership experience, as well as the necessary experience to begin a career in the snowsports or hotel industry.

Experiential learning that takes you outside of your comfort zone and broadens your horizons can prepare you for success in whichever career path you choose afterward.

Trust the Process :)

Whether it's a maternity break or any other reason at some point in time we all require a break in our career especially when it comes to women. It's not necessary that you take a break from your career because of your personal or health issues, it’s absolutely okay if you feel stuck in your career and want a break from it. Taking a career break can help you rejuvenate new skills and open gates to new opportunities.

• With this being said, there are a few things that you can do to help clear your bewilderment and the point of stagnation in your career:
• Opt for a volunteering experience, work on some live projects, upskill yourself by doing various courses, learn a new language, and follow your hobbies and passion.
• A key piece of advice for all of you while being on a break, it’s important you keep people in your network posted on what you are doing, this will definitely help you in the future if you are looking for a new job.?

Childhood Trails

The picture might be blurred, but the memories are crystal clear. My most vivid childhood memories are of me dancing to my favorite Hollywood tracks at family gatherings & parties. I would not miss one chance to dance my heart out.

Ps: This one is from a trip my family took to Munnar when I was about 10 years old :)

There was a DJ night happening at our resort and how could I not be on the stage.
