About this episode

Dr. Tega Edwin discusses the wrong questions to ask when considering a career pivot and provides guidance on identifying transferable skills and values.

#147 - If you've been stuck in your career for years asking yourself "what else can I do?" and coming up empty every single time, this episode is for you. Dr. Tega Edwin breaks down why that question is actually the wrong starting point for a career pivot and what to ask yourself instead. She walks through the right questions that help mid-career professional women identify their transferable skills, clarify their values, and start exploring industries and roles where their experience is already in demand — so you can stop scrolling job boards and start making a confident career change, even after 10, 15, or 20 years in the same field.
