Episode #147 Recession Proof Your Career

With all this talk of a cost of living crisis and recession, it’s tempting to hunker down and play it small.

But if you want to keep your career on track during difficult times you need to do the opposite.

It’s more important than ever that you take control of your career, by:

  • Being visible
  • Adding value, and
  • Building relationships.

I’m not here to scaremonger or to try to make you worried. But in turbulent times, when there are so many things in the world that are out of your control, one thing you can have power over is the direction and progression of your own career.

In this episode, I explain:

  • How to think about uncertainty so that you do not panic, or ignore coming change, and
  • What to do to bolster your career so that you are in a position of strength to weather the prospective storm.

The episode covers all you need to do to ‘double down’ on your career so that you make yourself the most visible, valuable and well-connected lawyer you can be. I explain how you should do this, even, and in fact, especially, when you suffer from Imposter Syndrome.

Because it’s your Imposter Syndrome that is holding you back.

It’s what stands between you and doubling down. And doubling down is how you make your career more resilient and ensure it’s sustainable in troubled times.

In Imposter Syndrome Coaching we follow a simple practical process for progressing your career when you have Imposter Syndrome. You get everything you need to double down and recession-proof your career.  Enrolment for the next programme opens soon. Join the waitlist so that you’ll be the first to know!
