Changing careers can feel like stepping into the unknown, but it’s also an opportunity for growth. I’ve helped many professionals pivot successfully, and the first step is always self-reflection. What skills do you enjoy using? What industries excite you?

Once you’ve identified your direction, start networking. Reach out to people in your target field, ask questions, and learn from their experiences. Don’t be afraid to start small—volunteer, freelance, or take on side projects to build relevant skills.

A friend of mine transitioned from marketing to UX design by taking online courses and showcasing her work on LinkedIn. Within a year, she landed a full-time role. Remember, every career path is unique. Embrace the journey, stay curious, and don’t let fear hold you back. Change is challenging, but with the right mindset, it can be incredibly rewarding.
