The Career Pivot: When It's Time and How to Do It

Maybe you've been feeling it for a while: that nagging sense that your current job or career path isn't it anymore. But how do you know if it's just a rough patch or if it's actually time to make a change? And if you do decide to pivot, where do you even start? This session is for anyone who's thinking about a career shift but doesn't know how to pull it off. Panelists who've successfully pivoted—whether into something completely different or just adjacent—will share how they knew it was time, how they made the transition, and what they wish they'd done differently. We'll talk about the practical stuff (money, timing, retraining) and the emotional stuff (fear, doubt, explaining yourself to everyone who asks "why would you leave that job?"). If you're stuck, restless, or just curious about what else is out there, this is your permission slip to explore what's next.
