One of them shared that in their team, the risk register was so central that it practically had its own seat at the table. Then they added: “We even have an opportunities tab!” They paused… and then said: “It’s empty.” We both laughed, nodding our heads.  But then sat with the truth of that.When you’ve spent years, maybe decades, in a system that is built on risk mitigation, what does that do to your mindset? The question that’s been echoing for me ever since is this:If everything you do at work starts with a risk register… does your career change process start with one too?In this episode I share 3 ways you can test how your risk mindset affects your career shift. *** Yvonne Davidis helps Leaders in the Public Sector explore and develop exciting career options that align with who they are now and how they want to evolve in future. --> Sign up to 'Email me new episodes' to get them straight into your inbox. --> Get your copy of How To Break Through 4 Limiting Beliefs About Shifting Your Public Sector Career. --> For step-by-step support apply here for Yvonne's 5-months Find Your Career Space programme and she'll be in touch to invite you to a Get-To-Know-Each-Other Call.
