b'Have you been feeling doubts about your career recently, or perhaps for quite some time? Maybe you\'re not sure if you\'re in the right job, or even in the right field, and you can\'t figure out if you should try to keep making your current position\\xa0work, or jump ship to something else.\\n\\nThen you\'ll likely recognize yourself in the stages of career transition my guest will describe. His name is Joseph Liu. He\'s a consultant, coach, and speaker\\xa0who helps people navigate the challenges of switching careers. In his work, he\'s seen that there\'s a recurring pattern individuals follow when thinking about and making this weighty decision, which he calls the "7 Stages of Career Change." Today on the show, Joseph\\xa0walks us through these stages, which begin with Doubt and Dismay and end with Reflection and Relaunch. With each stage, Joseph explains what typically goes through people\'s minds, common mistakes that are made, and the best actions to take, which sometimes involves transitioning\\xa0out of your current career, and sometimes does not. We end our conversation with the considerations to keep in mind if you do decide to make a change.\\n\\nGet the show notes at aom.is/careerchange.'
