26. Affirmation To Find Your ‘Perfect People’ For Your Career Change

A group of supportive friends for career growth.

Have you ever considered how much influence the people around you have on your career-changing journey? In this episode of Mindful Career Change, you'll discover the concept of "perfect people" and their pivotal roles in your life. Not flawless beings, but individuals who fit just right into your life at the right time. We explore how your beliefs, actions, and ultimately, your career are significantly influenced by those you spend most of your time with.

Listen as host, Valerie Mekki highlights five unique roles that have positively shaped my own career change journey, with hopes of helping you identify similar figures in your life. We talk mentorship, expertise, aspiration, cheerleading, and accountability partnerships – all essential facets in your career shift.

If you find any gaps in your inner circle, don't worry. You'll be guided through an affirmation practice to help you draw the right people into your life. So, ready to appreciate those who are already in your corner, and open your heart to meeting new ones who align with your journey?

Remember, your tribe evolves with you as you make pivotal career changes.
