090: Ready for Change. Now What?

About

Ready for Change. Now What?
What happens when you know you’re ready for something different—but you’re not quite sure what that “something” is?
Maybe you’ve outgrown your role. Maybe your career has taken an unexpected turn. Maybe you’re an athlete transitioning into life beyond sports. Or maybe you simply know there’s more you could be doing but can’t quite articulate what that looks like.
That’s where Alex Bowden comes in.
In this episode of SpeakEasy HR, Alex joins David Noe to talk about “Ready for Change. Now What?” and why career decisions should start with something deeper than a job title.
Alex believes people are more than their résumés, degrees, and job titles. Her work focuses on helping people understand their strengths, values, experiences, and the environments where they thrive—and then using that understanding to figure out what comes next.
As a former professional dancer who transitioned into HR, talent, and entrepreneurship, Alex understands firsthand how closely our work can become tied to our identity. When you’ve spent years defining yourself by what you do, figuring out who you are beyond that role can be challenging.
Through CareerCatalyst, Alex helps individuals uncover and articulate the value they bring, while her work with PEOPLEfirst helps organizations recognize talent they may otherwise overlook.
We’ll talk about career transitions, identity, strengths, overlooked talent, athletes preparing for life beyond sports, and why employers need to look beyond traditional résumés and familiar career paths when identifying potential.
Because sometimes the biggest career question isn’t:
“What job do I want?”
It’s:
“Who am I, what do I bring to the table, and where could that take me?”
Join us October 12 for a conversation about change, career identity, and figuring out what’s next.
Ready for change? Now what?
Let’s talk about it.
