10 powerful questions to ask yourself before you make a career change

Hi, I'm Yesim Nicholson

Have you been on a very linear, predictable career path to-date?

Does just the thought of making a radical change seem very scary?

I get it. I've been there (a few times) and know how it feels.

In my mid 20's I made a promise to myself that I would have an amazing story to tell by the time I got to my later years. I knew from an early age that I wouldn't be content working for the same company all my life. Like so many of my peers I started my career in the corporate world and after a few years I realised that I thrived on more variety. Now I love helping others work out what will make them thrive!

I've been a qualified coach for over 20 years now. I have worked with some incredible people over the years. Perhaps you'll be one of them!

In March 2024 I published my first book 'Ready to quit your job?', which is consistently ranked in the top 100 career books on Amazon UK.

I am also host of the podcast 'Your Big Career Move', where I interview ordinary people who have made extraordinary career changes.

"Life is too important to be taken seriously" - Oscar Wilde

I couldn't agree more with Mr Wilde, and I am a firm believer that if you can add an element of fun and laughter to a situation, you absolutely should. Which is why you might describe my coaching style as light-hearted, but absolutely focused and results-driven at the same time.
