Ep 97 - 'How to Pivot to a More Stretching Career Opportunity When You Exhaust Your Current Role' with guest Angela Sagoe-Crentsil

Welcome to Her Ambitious Career, the personal branding and success podcast for ambitious corporate women who expect more from their careers.

My guest today is Angela Sagoe-Crentsil, Partner at PwC Melbourne and we are talking about how to proactively create a new opportunity in your career when you have hit the ceiling of your current role.

In this episode, Angela and I explore:

• Understanding your value proposition
• Don't be afraid to pivot to other opportunities if you think they will help further your career
• Knowing the difference between a 'mediocre' and a 'genuinely stretching' career opportunity
• Acknowledging that 'value' doesn't need to be something gargantuan(!) to be valuable - value often comes in small actions
• Getting the support you need to achieve your ambitions
• Driving the outcomes of your career (rather than waiting for them to happen)

 
Angela says:

"Spend the time trying to understand what makes you valuable. It can be your EQ, your team building or relationship building; it can be anything. But take the time to understand, at a deep level, your value and practice verbalising that to others."   (Angela Sagoe-Crentsil, guest on Her Ambitious Career podcast)
