Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, it is the first step toward taking control of your future.

Pedir ayuda no es señal de debilidad, es el primer paso para tomar el control de tu futuro.

When you face a massive change, your vision becomes clouded by uncertainty and fear. You cannot see your own potential because you are too focused on what you are losing. When I had to start over, a job coach evaluated my skills and my twenty plus years of experience, and one day he told me, "You know what? You could do exactly what I do." I could not see it myself, but he could.

Cuando enfrentas un cambio enorme, la incertidumbre y el miedo nublan tu visión. No alcanzas a ver tu propio potencial porque estás demasiado enfocado en lo que estás perdiendo. Cuando yo tuve que empezar de nuevo, un coach laboral evaluó mis habilidades y mis más de veinte años de experiencia, y un día me dijo, "¿Sabes qué? Tú podrías hacer exactamente lo que yo hago". Yo no lo veía, pero él sí.

Do not try to navigate a career shift alone. Ask your employer if they offer coaching or continuing education, reach out to a mentor, or look for agencies that help match your talents to new fields. A good coach will see the transferable skills you already possess.

No intentes atravesar un cambio de carrera tú solo. Pregunta en tu trabajo si ofrecen coaching o programas de formación, busca a un mentor, o acércate a las instituciones que ayudan a conectar tus talentos con nuevos campos. Un buen coach verá las habilidades transferibles que ya tienes.

So here is my question for you today, who in your network can you reach out to for an honest conversation about your future?

Así que hoy te pregunto, ¿a quién de tu red de contactos puedes buscar para tener una conversación honesta sobre tu futuro?
