What if the career you’ve built isn’t the one you want to keep?
Whether you’re a senior leader questioning the cost of success, or a professional at any stage sensing you’ve outgrown the path mapped, this book is your roadmap to Uptick what comes next.
A career pivot isn’t about throwing everything away; it’s about harnessing your transferrable skills, experience, knowledge and credibility to create an uptick, a new, planned direction built on what came before, one which aligns more with who you are today.
With practical exercises, honest stories, and strategies that take you from reflection to action, this book will help you find clarity, overcome fear, plan your finances, embrace change and build a confident future that balances fulfilment with freedom.
If you’ve ever wondered ‘Is this it?’ – here’s your answer: it doesn’t have to be!
Dr Claire Handby’s career journey spans more than 25 years, beginning in the construction industry where she managed trades on-site — hard hat on, steel-toe capped boots at the ready — before moving into senior leadership roles in Big Four management consulting with EY, Deloitte, and KPMG. A chartered professional and now successful business owner, she has built a reputation as a trusted board-level adviser and executive coach. Today, she helps individuals realign their careers with clarity and confidence, drawing on her depth of personal experience within conversations.
