A new job in a new industry
A 2-step plan to make that leap
You've done some soul-searching, and you've set your sights on getting a new job in a different industry. But how?
In contemplating a career more into a new industry and a role you haven't done before, there are a number of challenges:
There are intermediary steps that can help you accomplish the near-impossible.
In this post, I draw on a chart created by Richard Bolle, author of 'What color is your parachute', which provides a simple map to help you consider your options.
- You lack a track record in the new role
- You lack familiarity with the industry you're aiming to move into
- You won't have built up a network of people in the industry you're seeking to move into
- Persuading an employer take you on may prove a challenge

All good things are brought to you by people.
In contemplating a career more into a new industry and a role you haven't done before, there are a number of challenges:
The main challenge is that there are too many unknowns: you're trying to get into an industry you're not familiar with, and may not have much of a network in.

LEAPING OVER THE MOUNTAIN
- You recognise the opportunity after the event. D'oh! This is the warm-up phase. Every time you recognise an opportunity in retrospect, congratulate yourself, because you're getting better at spotting them.
- You stop yourself mid-sentence, because you're just heard yourself turning down something wonderful / helpful.
- You hear yourself *about* to turn down something helpful / wonderful, and replace what you were about to say with your new default welcome: 'Yes, thank you'.
- You start to see opportunities coming (rather than once they begin to slip away) and are ready to embrace them.
- The new default has taken root, and it's now normal for you to embrace kindness and generosity flowing towards you. You genuinely enjoy and appreciate it as the regular way that things happen in your world.
Three stages of changing a habit
(I've included a pre- and a post- state, totalling five stages in all)
In writing this, I am thinking of you, reading these words.
May the future bestow wonderful surprises on you at regular intervals.
Play me a fantasy

What is yours?
Is it to:
'Speak in front of a gathering
and receive applause' - Imagine it.
'Have a mentor guide my first tentative steps
into a new endeavour' - Wish for it.
'Tell a secret I've been harbouring
so it's no longer a burden' - Hear your wish,
and permit it to be possible.

If you give either of these a go, I'd love to hear how it goes for you.
If you like the sound of using your imagination to tap into your greater potental, I'd be happy to help.
P.S. I will describe the 'Stepping out to get a larger view' manoeuvre in another post soon, and will add a link as soon as this is live.

The future is for you to make
Your future is uncharted.
More than that, your future cannot be chartered. It is too fluid for that - more like the sea than the dry land.
Your future is not determined by your past, or some pre-scripted destiny.
It is for you to make.
Your contribution matters.
