Episode 15 of the “Change is possible podcast” is out!
My guest is Rana Nawas. She is a 22-year corporate veteran who built her successful career around problem-solving, driving growth and building relationships.
After graduating from Oxford with an Engineering degree, she worked in  McKinsey & Company’s London Office, the Dubai Government, and GE Capital in a variety of strategy and sales roles.
Then she left the corporate world to found her hugely successful podcast "When women win", and become a keynote speaker, advisor, and board chair.
Recently, she made another career change and joined Oliver Wyman in Dubai as a partner focusing on the transportation sector.
Apart from all the professional success, Rana is a mother of two boys; she is a quad-lingual global citizen, a retired yogini, a cross-fitter, and a cancer survivor.
It was such an interesting discussion about life, work, and change
Some of Rana’s thoughts that stayed with me:
The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships
You cannot expect everything in life to come out of only one relationship.
Sometimes you have to do a job, and you get meaning and purpose from other things
And that is OK
There are very few dead ends in life.
What you want changes over time and that’s OK! You recalibrate and figure out what is next
Here are Rana’s  three key takeaways to have in mind when you plan a career change:
- Make sure you are financially secured
- Put a lot of thought into what it is that you want to do
- When you start with something new – give it a chance; have a grit
Tune in, and I promise you – the discussion was so thought-provoking that you will want to spend some alone time thinking about things!
