111. Sarah JanTausch - Coach Creating Impact Through Values-Based Careers
In this episode of "People in Transition," I had the pleasure of speaking with Sarah JanTausch, the Founder of SRJ Coaching and Consulting and the creator of the Values-Based-Career method. Sarah is an Executive & Career Coach, Speaker, and Trainer dedicated to helping individuals create values-based careers and uncover the hidden job market. She specializes in guiding career pivots, teaching generosity-based networking, and aligning total vocational impact with core values.
Sarah is the Chair of Government Relations for the Ohio Career Development Association and Co-Chair-elect for the National Career Development Association's Government Relations Committee.
In this episode, we dive into several key topics, including:
· The importance of networking throughout your career journey. Engage in networking that suits your style, from large gatherings to one-on-one informational interviews.
· How to network with curiosity and gratitude while being strategic in your efforts.
· Discovering the hidden job market through building relationships within your target organizations.
· Strategies for career pivots, including informational interviews, volunteering in new industries, and experimenting through consulting or special projects.
· The value of career assessments for mid-career changes to identify your core traits and strengths.
· The necessity of building a "freedom fund" before embarking on entrepreneurial or solopreneur roles.
· Feeling empowered to interview the interviewer to ensure the role is the right fit for you.
We also touched on many other insightful and practical points during this informative, value-packed, and fun interview. I know you'll enjoy Sarah's insights as much as I did.
