S8 E5 'Stepping into the unknown' with Anna Campagna
I talk with Anna Campagna, formerly Senior Global Sales Director at Heineken, about leaving a familiar role and ‘stepping into the unknown’ to start a new career chapter.
As Anna puts it, this isn’t about the ‘plug and play’ career move, i.e. more of the same somewhere new. This is about nerve-jangling, scary-but-exciting endings in order to figure out a new beginning that isn’t yet fully formed.
Anna shares her wonderful wisdom on:
- How we know we’re ready for a big change
- How fear helps us and hinders us when we’re contemplating a change
- How to be adventurous when we have responsibilities
