Prestige often feels safe—law, tenure, the senior role everyone recognises on LinkedIn, but real growth begins when the title no longer fits the person wearing it.This episode unpacks why nothing is wasted in your career: every season, every skill, every chapter becomes transferable capital for what’s next. Together we explore identity beyond job titles, how to adopt an entrepreneurial mindset inside and outside organisations, and why success must be rooted in values rather than status.If you’ve outgrown a role, feel pulled toward new impact, or are navigating a career chapter that no longer aligns, this conversation will help you reframe your experience, re-anchor your direction, and move with clarity. <h1>What You’ll Learn in This Episode</h1> 1. Why redefining success is essential once you’ve “made it.” We discuss how reaching the top of a traditional path can reveal misalignment — and why that discomfort is powerful data pointing toward your next chapter.2. How to separate identity from job title. You’ll learn how to honour your past work without letting it limit future possibilities, and how to reintroduce yourself by impact rather than labels.3. The mindset and practices that help you navigate career transitions with confidence. From transferring your toolkit to adopting an entrepreneurial operating system, this episode shows you how to make evidence-based decisions, iterate without self-judgement, and build a career anchored in values. <h1>Action Steps</h1> 1. Audit your definition of success. Ask yourself: “Does this measure meaning or just status?” Rewrite your success metrics based on values, impact, and desired rhythms of work.2. Create your “portable skills” inventory. List the cognitive, strategic, and relational skills you’ve built that are transferable across industries and roles. This becomes your confidence and positioning tool.3. Separate your ‘what’ from your ‘how.’ Get clear on what you truly want next—impact, income range, type of work—before worrying about the logistics. Treat the “how” as a solvable project once the vision is set.
