In this episode, Mary Sullivan, a co-founder of Sweet but Fearless, talks with Leigh Wager, Head of Commercial, Craniometrix and Health Coach about how she made a career pivot focusing on her transferable skills.
As a geologist, she didn’t find the role as fulfilling as she’d hoped and recognized that her work didn’t align with her personal values. She wanted to transition into a position/company that she could be passionate about and where she could best serve. Recognizing how she could successfully transfer her skills as a geologist, she transitioned into the healthcare tech industry, where she quickly learned that asking questions and being genuinely curious set herself up to being successful in her new career.
Looking to pivot in your career? Assess your transferable skills, seek guidance, and glean insights from Leigh on leveraging past achievements for your next career move.
