Career Leap: How to Reinvent and Liberate Your Career

by Michelle Gibbings

Adapt you career to the shifting paradigm of work, employment and success The word “career” doesn’t mean what it used to. People entering the workforce today will have an estimated 17 employers and five careers in their lifetimes ― and already many existing roles are being automated away, with many more to follow. No profession, industry or geography is immune, and employees need to change their idea of what it means to be employed. The rise of freelancing and the gig economy means flexibility and independence, but also less security ― with trends showing it is the way of the future. You cannot future-proof your job, but you can future-proof your career. Career Leap shows you what you need to know, how you need to change and how you can prepare for the inevitable tides of change. This book sheds light on the choices you make, and the steps you can take to reignite, reshape and liberate your career. You’ll develop the confidence you need to take decisive action, sharpen your skills and become the agile, adaptive professional we will all need to be. The 10-step Career Reinvention Cycle helps you assess the status quo and determine where you need to go, and then gives you a solid framework for making a move when the time is right. No matter your role, it is imperative that you make every day in your career count. Make the critical decisions, take clear actions and, above all, stay ahead of the pack. Career Leap gives you the insight, confidence and knowledge you need to move up as you leap forward.

I've read Michelle's other book, Step Up, and loved it so gave Career Leap a read. It's filled with practical advice on how to navigate the often daunting world of changing careers. I've recently made a big career move and love the step-by-step approach in this book.

3.5 stars
This is a practical, step by step approach and she has some good resources on her website too. It’s not exactly what I was looking for - I’m out of work due to COVID-19 and there will be no work in my industry until international borders reopen, so I’m forced into a career change and looking for ideas on what career would suit me. This book would be better for people who already have some ideas about what they’d like to do, and just need a push and some guidance.
