Hey, how's your career going? Are you maybe feeling a little bit stuck like you're not sure what to do next. Probably that's why you came here. I have a friend who recently said she would pay a million dollars for somebody to cut open her head, open it up, pull out what she wants to do next and hand it to her. And million dollars for that. This is going to be way easier than brain surgery, I promise you.

Now a couple years ago, I was in the same boat. I was working full time in a job I had been at for 10 years. That's quite a long time. And I was feeling like I just didn't know where I wanted to go next. I had seen the plans for the upcoming year and it was going to be more of the same. Now I'm somebody that needs to grow.

So I did not want to live the same year twice. Now they will wanted for me to consider a promotion. But honestly, climbing the corporate ladder was it was just never something that I wanted to do. So, even though there is some appeal to that it wasn't really inspiring me. I needed to find some other direction, some other options. Now my birthday on that year, I decided that I would put it up to the following birthday.

And I gave myself a one year deadline to figure out what I was going to do next. Now, once I have made that commitment, the ball just started rolling. I went into work one day, and I just I had a bad day. My manager frustrated me. I'm sure you can relate to that. But I resigned.

It was shortly after I had made that commitment to myself that I burned my boat and I don't recommend that you do it that quickly. But that was My path, sometimes life happens and things happen before you expect it. Let's try to plan ahead if we can. But just to let you know that if you do have to do things quickly, what we're going to do in this course will work for you then to. Now, once I had left that behind, I created all kinds of space in my head for other options to come in. And it was amazing.

As soon as there were a space, there were so many options. I went from thinking I only had two or three possibilities to having so many options that I didn't know which one to do first. And that's what I want for you as well. I want you to realize how many options you have, and then figure out like what two or three options are inspiring you and then we'll come up with a plan on how you can explore those options. My name is Yvonne lines, and I have read hundreds of books consume tons of other media on me to ship and development, I take the nuggets of wisdom that I've learned from this media. And I give it a bit of a test drive, I try it out in my own life.

And if it's useful, then I share it. So I will put it into my blog, or make some videos, or I'll build a course such as this one. Now in this course, we're going to use design thinking methodology to work through the path on how to solve our problem of what to do next. Now, design thinking has been around for decades and has worked really successfully, and it will work for us as well. So we'll start with the foundation of building self awareness. I'll ask you a whole bunch of questions to help you really consider what it is that you want in your next career.

And then we'll go into brainstorming some ideas around that, and I'll help you come up with some crazy ideas and then we'll refine it down to something that's a lot more realistic, and we'll come up with a plan on hiring Get your foot in the door on some of those concepts to see if you really like it or not before you make the big leap. Now in the next video, we'll talk a lot more about that design thinking methodology. And I'm so looking forward to having you in this course because this is a really exciting time for you things are going to change and I'm honored to be part of that journey.
