Trina burned out as a software engineer and used the Confident Career Design program to understand her patterns and values. It led her to switch into image consulting and styling, work she finds exciting and meaningful. She says the process surfaces insights you already have.
Hi, Trina. How time flies. Now we're at the end of the Confident Career Design program. So today I would love to hear about your experience of your journey with finding your new career path. So how did the Confident program help you find your new career path?
Yeah, I think it really helped me connect with myself and put labels to things I did really intuitively feel but never quite laid out there in that way. You know, see patterns and group them in a way of like, yeah, that makes sense for how I want to live my life and build my future career. And I think it gave me confidence in my capability to both set goals and also achieve them.
Lovely. Thanks for sharing. That's wonderful to hear. And what is your biggest takeaway?
My biggest takeaway is I think that there is or are career paths that are out there for me where I am aligned with the things that I value, the things that I want to be doing, and the things that I want to put out there in the world. I think my biggest takeaway is that it's both possible And that I can achieve it.
I love that, I love that. So, um, you came to me, you were working as a software engineer for many years, and you got at the point that the burnout was real and you really don't want to continue that path. But now at this new path of starting becoming an image consultant and doing the path of styling, how do you currently feel?
I feel excited. I feel challenged. But ultimately, I feel motivated to start a new path that makes sense, that I'm excited by, that I have a lot to grow in. And even though it's quite different to what I was doing before, knowing that I can work in something that feels more aligned to me, feels more meaningful, and is very viable feels really exciting and motivating.
Wow, that's so wonderful to hear, and I absolutely applaud you for getting here and for trusting the process. And you should really be proud of yourself for the progress you have made. But that being said, how do you think this whole process can help others?
Um, I think if you are someone like me who is looking for, uh, something that will bring you more clarity And really do what Sixu was saying, which is facilitate and guide you towards things that you probably already know about yourself, but just need some guidance or help bringing them out. I think it will really serve you well and also give you a clearer path for You know, living the life that you want to be living.
Wonderful. Well, thank you so much for sharing, and thank you again for this opportunity to serve you and guide you towards this new path. I'm excited for you as well. I see a lot of possibilities for you, waiting for you, so I look forward to hearing your success as you're moving forward.
Thank you.
