How do you stay true to what really matters?

What does it take to turn against the tide of normalcy and social conditioning and to forge your own path?

My brilliant colleague Natasha Stanley has written a great piece on the Careershifters website on what she calls the "Renegade Mindset", and how to cultivate it for career change:

"Renegade is ownership and self-expression – claiming your identity and your dreams as valid and real, and giving them life outside of your surreptitious daydreams."

I'm particularly fascinated in the #mindset aspect of career change and how we can better prepare ourselves to make a successful shift, overcoming our internal resistances and self-sabotaging tendencies.

So I loved the very practical advice here such as...

💡 Systematically naming and challenging your assumptions

💡 Taking yourself on secret dates on your own to make yourself "wildly, unapologetically happy"

💡 Reaching out to others who have broken the mould and asking them for a conversation so you can draw on their inspiration.

How do YOU ensure you stay true to what matters?
