If you\u2019re <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/forbescoachescouncil\/2021\/10\/01\/considering-a-career-change-the-time-is-now\/?sh=2930e3d43af3\" target=\"_blank\"><u>considering changing careers<\/u><\/a>, experts agree that now is a great time to take the leap!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"viewer-ddcse\">Read on to learn about Dr. Post\u2019s experiences in her doctoral program and find out why open-mindedness, flexibility, and curiosity are so essential in your career.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>You won\u2019t know what your talents are until you gain experience. <\/strong>At best, you\u2019ll have an abstract idea of what you\u2019re good at when you start your career. You can\u2019t know which way your career will go until you start living your life, so it\u2019s important to be open-minded.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"viewer-4ajcb\">Spend time figuring out what your strengths are and where your interests lie and spend time exploring different areas of the industry you\u2019re considering entering. Don\u2019t be afraid to try something new; give it your best shot and then maximize your talents to bring whatever you can to the role. Most importantly, make sure that whatever you choose is congruent with your values. For example, if you\u2019re considering a career as a psychiatrist and then realize you aren\u2019t comfortable with the culture of over-medicating patients, you likely won\u2019t thrive in a medical environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t be afraid to carve your own path.<\/strong> Even if you\u2019re switching careers, don\u2019t think of yourself as a novice. You might be new to the field, but you\u2019re not new to life! A fresh perspective can breathe life into something that experts in the field have traditionally done the same way. The more you know, the more connections you can make, and the wiser your decisions are going to be.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"viewer-406q8\">Education is extremely important, but so is life experience. Some of the most brilliant people I know were never formally educated in their chosen career field. For example, I\u2019ve been running a successful real estate practice for over a decade. I attribute most of my success in that field to the knowledge of people that I gained while pursuing my doctoral degree. It\u2019s an omnirelevant knowledge base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Be a lifelong learner. <\/strong>All that said, you have to be humble about how much you know and enjoy the process of learning and getting better. You never know what hidden interests, talents, or skills you\u2019ll find if you seek out new opportunities to learn. Prioritizing trying new things is as vital to your career as it is to your health and happiness. As tacky as it sounds, life is a journey and not a destination. So take the wheel, enjoy the ride, and don\u2019t forget to take time to view the scenery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"viewer-f8vmp\">If you\u2019re thinking about changing careers, you shouldn\u2019t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone. And it would help if you also considered working with a coach to partner with you through the process. If you\u2019re thinking about doing so, Dr. Post offers <a href=\"\/book-a-service\"><u>complimentary 15-minute sessions<\/u><\/a> for anyone ready to take the next step in their career.
