Did you miss our teleseminar on "How to Change Careers Successfully in 2010?"

By Selina Barker on 21 January 2010 at 14:16

Last night I had a lot of fun hosting our first ever teleseminar.

I was in conversation with two of the UK's leading career coaches and the founder of Careershifters about how to make a successful career change in 2010.

Amongst other things, we covered:

  • The practical steps to get started with your career change
  • The key obstacles for a successful shift - and how to overcome them
  • The secrets of making a successful career change


We also introduced our exclusive Shift Club, which will be launching next week.

If you missed the call, don't worry!

You can download the full recording here: http://www.careershifters.org/files/audio/How-To-Change-2010-Teleseminar.mp3.

We're only keeping this available until Sunday, so make sure you download it now.

And here's what some of our listeners said afterwards:

  • "Hearing that Sarah and Selina did exactly the same thing and took that bold step, has made me feel even more confident that this is right and this is part of my journey. This was a brilliant teleseminar..."
  • "Well done on an excellent seminar"
  • "Thanks for the teleseminar, I really enjoyed it!"

We hope you enjoy it too.

It can be hard to think that work can be brilliant and, even if you do learn to believe that work can really be fantastic, it can be hard to think it’s possible for yourself. This is where I was stuck until Careershifters' Selina Barker encouraged me to seek out those who were doing work they loved, and ask them how they did it. Here is what I discovered...

What the world needs is people who have come alive

By Selina Barker on 13 November 2009 at 10:04

"Don't ask what the world needs.
Ask what makes you come alive
And then go and do that.
Because what the world needs
Is people who have come alive."

Why it's worth figuring out your values

By Selina Barker on 11 November 2009 at 15:00

There's often a lot of talk of knowing your 'values' when it comes to career change. I decided to go and find out whether figuring out your values really is so important and how it can help you when changing career. I was so impressed that we now have these values as a key part of the Careershifters workshop #1: How to discover what you really want out of your work"
