Ep #232: The Teacher's Guide to Changing Careers with Ashley Philipps

Feeling stuck in a job that’s no longer working for you? Many corporate women leaders find themselves in the same boat, wanting to switch industries but completely lost on how to actually make it happen. (This can feel extra difficult when you’re stepping into a field where you have zero subject matter expertise.) Here’s the good news: Making dramatic career changes is not only possible—it can even change your life for the better—and I’ve invited Ashley Philipps onto this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer to show you how. Ashley Phillips spent seven years working as a high school teacher before starting over and working her way from entry level to Vice President in the corporate world. In this episode, we discuss not only how she managed this big career leap, but also how you can start your own transition. Plus, we dive into how you can overcome hurdles, leverage your network, and build a personal brand that sets you apart in your new industry.
