Over the weekend, I was at Jubilee Church (RCCG) Manchester where I engaged with young business professionals about making a career pivot. The session was based on my personal experience of making a pivot from Academia to Management Consulting in 2023. Many professionals stay stuck in careers they have outgrown or fed up with because they believe changing direction means abandoning everything they have built. The truth is the opposite. Your experience, skills, knowledge, relationships, and achievements are transferable assets. The key is to identify where they create value in a new industry or role. Before making a career pivot, take time to: • Assess your strengths and skill gaps • Understand industry trends and opportunities • Learn the skills employers are actively seeking • Invest in continuous learning and networking • Position your personal brand through your CV and LinkedIn profile • Apply confidently knowing your prior successes matter I ended the session by reminding the audience that career pivots can be uncomfortable, but they require courage, preparation, and persistence. They can also unlock opportunities, growth or a higher salary, and greater impact and fulfilment. PS: The most successful career transitions happen when preparation meets opportunity. Your next chapter is not about starting over. It's about building on everything you've already achieved! PSS: If you are in or around Manchester, visit lnkd.in/ef9sVhAG. They care deeply about your professional development, besides your spiritual growth!

If you are in or around Manchester tomorrow, join me at RCCG Jubilee Church Manchester (JCM) where I will be speaking on how I transitioned from Academia to Management Consulting. There will be food and opportunity to connect with other single folks.

Are you an academic considering life beyond academia? Three years ago, I made a bold decision, after more than a decade as a Lecturer and Senior Lecturer, I transitioned into Management Consulting. I didn't need entirely new skills. I simply needed to learn how to package and apply the skills I already had. I’ve taken on roles at Strategic Command, Heathrow Airport, and Babcock International since making the switch.
