  • Hello Israel, I've been a creative for 12+ years and saw others struggling with their careers so began a YouTube channel to help others by mentoring them through to success. I would love to hear about the roles you are feeling unsuited and guide in you a good direction.
  • Hi Isreal,

    I remember very well wanting to have this conversation at a different stage in my life. Being clear on your strengths is a good place to start and then identifying your ideal working environent to but them to good use. What do you want your career to look like? I would be happy to be a sounding board for you to brainstorm.

    Very best,
    Natalie
  • I've written about career strategy on my blog based on my personal experience and extensive research. Maybe this could be useful and give you some ideas. Alternatively it's good to find a mentor who is already working in the area you want to get into.

    All the best,
    Lina

  • Hi Israel,
    I have just finished an online experience and opened an email in which I came across your question. As a creative person myself, trapped in the body of a GP in the NHS, I can relate to what you have asked. The (free) experience I have just had does not relate to a specific career path, or the conventional way of doing things. It is about relating to other humans in new ways and for me was like having a group of mentors from different sectors across different countries - from Germany, the Phillipines and Portugal. Here is the link https://www.peopleneedpeople.online I found it inspiring, and you might find it useful.
    Best wishes,
    Sarah
