Dorie Clark: Reinvent Your Career (Without the Risk)
If you feel like you’re flailing in your career, listen to this. Career reinvention expert Dorie Clark reveals why the "leap and the net will appear" advice is terrible and shares her proven framework for strategic career pivots that work over the long term. Podcast host, author, and Udemy Editorial Director Elizabeth Weingarten breaks down what you need to know to turn career "flailing" into intentional moves.
This episode covers how the best reinventions happen gradually, how to craft a compelling narrative that connects your past to your future, and why networking when you don't need anything is the secret to long-term success. Plus, how you can get around AI resume screeners when you have taken an untraditional path.
Whether you're recently laid off, feeling stuck, or sensing there's something bigger out there for you, this conversation provides the roadmap to reinvent yourself strategically while keeping the big picture in mind.
