Episode 136 - How to keep being ‘directionally correct’ when life throws a curve ball with Michael Glassock
#136: How to keep being ‘directionally correct’ when life throws a curve ball
This episode I’m with Micheal Glassock who shares his career shifts, aligning work with personal values and the power of being "directionally correct”.
Michael discusses his transitions from a successful role in project management in the NHS to project managing a new career as a coach, prompted by his father’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis.
We discuss how people around you react when you are changing, how there are often a few wrong moves in change before the ‘right’ one and how having one goal can help focus you - Michael shares his goal of ‘coach every day until 80’.
His story is filled with valuable insights and lessons for anyone considering a career change or looking for more alignment in their professional lives.
"The reason why I'm very good at switching into a growth mindset, is because of the practice and the past experiences of it I've had. The way I've built confidence in most of the things I've done is by doing them.”
The things that helped Michael navigate change.

"Career transitions may feel uncertain, but aligning your daily actions with your core values can guide you through any ambiguity. It's not about having every step mapped out; it's about being directionally correct and consistent in your efforts." Michael Glassock
